Mañanita is literally to ''early hours of the morning''.It Is simply way of greeting a birthday celebrant by serenading him with a special songs.
This was done on the birthday of our beloved tatay Oleg during his 75th birthday celebration.Mañanita is avery common tradition in our place in Camotes Island.We did this every year during his birthday.Early morning around 4:00AM choires and guitarist offers thier songs and flowers to the celebrants.
We prepare the foods as a thank you gift for the choires for thier offers.We prepared boiled sweet potatoes bread,coffee, sphagetti, and Puto maya(steamed) glutinous rice flavored with coconut milk,ginger with sugar.
Im soo happy to witness these celebration for this is rarely happened that i was there on his birthday due to time and distance.
We love you so much tatay Olig💞💞
Thank you very much!
Food looked delicious, magnificent celebration
