(SPOT.ph) No one takes Christmas as seriously as we Filipinos do. A few weeks before September 1, you can already see Jose Mari Chan memes online—and soon enough, you'll see photos of bibingka and puto bumbong too. This often lasts until the end of every year, especially during Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo.
But what about the other eight months prior to our four-month-long Christmas season? We rounded up a list of stores where you can order the violet, buttery puto bumbong during Christmas, summer, monsoon season, and all the days in between.
