BIG BRAIN MOMENT

Interesting facts & trivia from the Philippines culture & events community

Trivia Question

Answer: Polka dots
Because of their coin-like structure, polka dots represent the prosperity that can be found in gold and silver coins. Just like how Filipinos appreciate round fruits and objects to celebrate the new year, they also enjoy wearing apparel, bearing the luck of polka dots.

Interesting Culture Fact!

Partnered with a display of 12 varieties of fruits, the prosperity bowl contains items like coins and currencies gemstones, herbs, red envelopes (angpao), uncooked grains of white rice and 12 eggs. These symbolize the intention to attract fortune and abundance in preparation for the whole year.
