CHINESE NEW YEAR AND THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT

Chinese New Year is a festive occasion that is celebrated in countries such as the Philippines. Filipino-Chinese communities in the Philippines celebrate Chinese New Year every year in hope of attracting prosperity, closer family ties and peace. People also participate in parades and dragon dances that are organized in China Towns in different cities in the Philippines.

Chinese New Year is not an official holiday in the Philippines so all establishments remain open.

According to Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22, 2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animals signs. The Rabbit is a symbol of endurance according to Chinese mythology.
