When you say Christmas sEASON in Kawit, It reminds me of GIFT GIVING, KIDS SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS, A WEL LIGHTED STREET, PLACE TO EAT PUTO BUMBONG (RICE SWEETS) AT THE KAWIT CHURCH, CREATING A MINI BETLEHEM IN THE ALTAR OF THE CHURCH AND MAYTINIS FETIVAL. A well-loved Caviteno tradition, the Maytinis is a dramatic retelling of St. Joseph's and the Virgin Mary's search in Bethlehem for a place to stay. They found not a room, of course, but a stable where Christ was eventually born.Much rejoicing erupts as the play ends, culminating in a lively parade down the streets of Kawit. Its a uniquely Filipino translation of this ancient biblical episode.

Kawit is waaaay to close to Manila. When you dive into the water, you most likely hit your head to something else before you feel water.
But still , there is a lot of fish swimming around....
