A few common questions.
Helpful starting points for the traditions, the planner and this independent guide.
What is pamasko?
Pamasko means a Christmas gift in the Philippines. It may be cash or another present. Aguinaldo is another word associated with Christmas gifts, including those from godparents and relatives.
How much should I give?
Choose an amount that suits your own circumstances. Our planner has editable example figures, not a required or recommended amount.
Can I claim a Christmas cash gift here?
No. Pamasko is an independent information website. We do not offer cash payouts, run gift claims or collect payment details.
Does the planner send money or save my details online?
No. The planner only calculates the amounts you enter. If you choose to save, the plan stays in this browser using local storage. It is not uploaded or synced to an account.
Make a little room for giving.
A thoughtful Christmas begins with a small, personal gesture.
