San Jose del Monte, Philippines. December 31, 2023: After traditional pig slaughtering for New Year's Eve, the meat is cut up. Whole pork will be prepared through different recipes. At the northeast of urbanized Manila, the Philippine rural life is regaining its rights and home-made slaughter is a common practice, far from industrial standards or animal welfare. Full of superstitions (no chicken/fish), Filipino families will have to wait midnight to gather for Media Noche, a festive dinner to celebrate the end of world's longest Christmas and holiday : Kevin Izorce/Alamy Live News
The Christmas and holiday season, the longest in the world since it begins on September 1 in the Philippines, will officially end on January 5, with the feast of the Epiphany (Three Kings' Day).
