In a tweet, the US envoy shared photos of her and some vendors at the Dapitan Market in Quezon City, a go-to place for those looking for cheap, but unique and elegant home decoration, art and craft supplies, Christmas decor, and housewares.

The bright and colorful Christmas lantern that is found in the home of almost every Filipino has found an avid fan in United States Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Loss Carlson, who tweeted about the beautiful parols she saw while visiting a popular flea market in Manila.

Dapitan Market, or Dapitan Arcade, brims with Christmas decorations—from parols to Christmas tree ornaments—these days as the country ushered in the pre-holiday season, a period after Halloween and before Christmas when Filipinos start to deck their homes with enchanting Christmas lights and parols. For many, it symbolizes hope and victory of light over darkness. Others regard it as a representation of when Jesus Christ was born in a stable and the Star of Bethlehem that guided the three wise men.
