The longest and  most celebrated holiday in the Philippines is CHRISTMAS. As early as October people started decorating their houses with the "PAROL", a Christmas Lantern influenced by the Mexicans.  Traditionally, parols are made from  bamboo sticks, Japanese paper and a candle in star shaped  designs which symbolize  the star of Bethlehem that guided the Three Wise Men  to the manger of the newly-born Jesus Christ. Later, in San Fernando, Pampanga people used plastic sheets of different colors and galvanized iron wires with blinking lights. Today, the most recent innovation of parols are those made of capiz seashells with blinking or dancing lights which our company, ROVILAND MERCHANDISING manufactured for over ten years under the trademark “Pampanga’s Lantern”.  We make sure that every single parol we make passed a strict quality control using  only  the best capiz shells and standard electrical components so it will last  for years with its original lusters.  Because we believe that hanging and lighting a parol is an ultimate expression of faith, love and hope for the family throughout the years.  For inquiries, please call us at Manila 294-1359 or email us at roland168@roviland.net.
