We may be going through a lot of difficulties this year, but one thing we're all looking forward to is fast approaching: Christmas season.
What make Christmas in the Philippines special are the well-loved holiday snacks that are sold during the season, like bibingka and puto bumbong.

One famous snack seller is Heidi de Leon who has been selling bibingka and puto bumbong in Marikina for the past 29 years.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, her business Heidelicious Bibingka decided to bring their products online.
"Meron na po kaming mga riders na nag-de-deliver. Marami naman pong bumibili lalo nitong nag-lockdown at September na rin" said Heidi in an interview with Susan Enriquez for Pera Paraan.
In a day, she manages to sell around 10 kilos of bibingka and 20 kilos of puto bumbong, a great feat for an online seller like her who needs to get by the ongoing pandemic.
"Nagpapasalamat po ako sa Diyos dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay ngayon, na-so-solve naman 'yung everyday namin na pangkain," Heidi said.
