CEBU, Philippines - Traditional Chinese delicacies such as tikoy and moachi have been selling out fast in local stores as the Filipino-Chinese community celebrates the Lunar New Year today.
The Chinese New Year, the most important traditional holiday in China, has long been observed in the Philippines, thanks to the centuries-old Chinese influence on Filipinos. Among other festive events that happen during the celebration, it also means business.
Philippine Retailers Association-Cebu President Robert Go said local businesses experience a sales boom during this celebration, although not that big compared to Christmas.
"[The sales boost is well very concentrated] to businesses in the downtown area such as bakeshops, hopia stores and even Chinese restaurants," Go told The FREEMAN in an interview yesterday. He is chief executive of Cebu-based Prince Retail Group.
"It's really a celebration among traditional Chinese," he said. "And I expect Chinese restaurants will be full."
