You should have prepared a little snack- hot coffee or pandesal - as small token to the singers. Thats how filipino do it in typical mañanita..

November to February is the best time to visit because of the cooler climate and the Pinoy Christmas. April to June is when most festivals and fiestas, like the famous Ati-Atihan, Sinulog, are celebrated, but it's also the height of the dry season when temperatures can reach 36-37°C. But the beaches are never far and the water is warm all year round. Be safe. 🌺

That is truly one of the sweetest, kindest things I have ever seen. The Philippino people are so beautiful. My husband & I have done several surgical missions there, from the US, & they gave always made us feel so appreciated & so welcome,. Happy Birthday Story!

My husbands’ family is from the Philippines. I adore the filipino culture and the way that they love and accept others. You have been welcomed into a beautiful family and will have forever friends. God Bless you and everyone that participated in this this wonderful celebration. ❣️❣️

The Filipino people are so caring and charming! I've never been to the Phillipines but I love it already.

This what makes Philippines unique from all over the world. Pureness of love, generosity, sharing and unity. Happy Happy Birthday. Kudos to all the people behind this event. GOD bless you all.

When your daughter begun to dance while they were singing I thought that was so sweet of her ,unknowingly she showed that she appreciates the birthday songs for her...your child is becoming more appreciative of small things which I believe can make her a better person someday.

I’m from Siargao, and this tradition is very common there. I used to be part of mañanita group when I was there. It’s another Filipino tradition that I can be really proud of, and even more proud that we Siargaonons, still do it. It’s nice to see you’re all able to experience it. Enjoy living in Siargao, hope to see you when I go back. xx Happy birthday beautiful Story.. xx

Mananita is not a common practice but when filipinos do it, it means you are a very special person. Story is so loved because she had mananita and they composed a song for Story alone. So proud of my fellow Filipinos. They have such a big heart.

still common here in cebu city and other provinces in the visayas and mindanao but we do it around midnight or past midnight and the participants are family and friends, we also break raw eggs on the head of the birthday celebrant.

Story upbringing is perfect. She’s so appreciative of everything. Love her and the family

So authentic, just people singing, where does this happen, not in Europe, so nice to see. And this authenticity touches the heart. Been following you for a long time and you really stand for being a role model in minimalism and happiness. Thanks for that. The way story dances to this tune shows how nice she corresponds with this nature. So many kids would go bored back to bed...beautiful

it’s called mañanita ... singing at dawn to celebrate someone’s birthday 🥳 lucky girl...happy birthday!

i love filipinos so much, this made me tear up hahaha

I'm crying right now but smiling from ear to ear at the same time. This is so touching! We really love your family! ❤❤❤

What a very Beautiful Memory on "Story's 4th Birthday". Worth preserving, a treasure to remember when she gets older, how she is being loved, not only by her adorable mum & dad but also by the people around her. "Mananita" is a rare traditional practice of showing how special you are. Story is so Adorable & Lovable that almost or all of the people she met in Siargao and those who saw her on your vlog learn to like her. What she is now, is the product of how you brought her up, Sacha & Jay, aside from being really born beautiful. Congratulations, Sacha & Jay. More blessings & God Bless. 🎄🏜

my 2nd comment because they hadn't finished the song, can confirm i'm crying! that was so beautiful of them to do

OMG .. look at that PERFECT backround behind Story.. Even those coconut tree leaves looked like peacock feather CROWN on Story.👸

That's amazing what those Filipinos did for Story's Birthday. Good people from the Philippines.

Mañanita is a traditional TIME SPECIFIC serenade to birthday celebrants. Mostly done very early morning before sunrise but others sometimes opt to do it past midnight.

Filipinos are born with a gift of being hospitable and caring. That’s why Philippines is fast emerging as the top country to visit and live as well. Happy 4th birthday Story! God bless and we love y’all from Houston, Texas.

I was crying while I’m watching, I am touch by the kindness & generosity of the neighborhood, l felt nostalgic. I’m so glad seeing Story dancing joyfully, that makes the composer of the beautiful songs and the group singers happy. The parents felt emotional too. People in Siargao & all over the world loves you. Happy Birthday Story may the Lord bless you & your parents & the whole siargao neighborhood.

There are times when this vlog resembles a movie. Seems the community has adopted the little princess.

Its truly wonderous to experience such filipino hospitality and love, we thank you, your family and Story cos we get to express an inate trait most Filipinos if not all have towards foreigners, It brings out the best of Filipinos, specially how you have treated our culture and people with love and respect, we owe you this special expression to you most specially to Story...HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL!!!

I am just a spectator here from Manila and yet I am so touched with the mañanita they did for story. It was a custom in most parts here in the Philippines that we make salubong to the day of the birthday. It means you are so loved by those who are giving it off. And story is just what this lockdown has given us. A breath of fresh air, of hope, of youth, of the future.

So thoughtful of the locals. Such gesture makes integration to the community really easy. The beautiful backdrop of the ocean conveys some romantic vibes. Belated Happy birthday, Story.

She is loved by the people of Siargao. Mananita is serenading to someone loved and special.

I long to retire in the Philippines someday, I miss these type of celebrations, the warmth, well intentions, kindness and genuine love Filipinos have for others are so special. Story has a wonderful record of this to look back on how her new "family" celebrated her 4th birthday!

Can't believe how grown up Story looks! Craziness :) Looks like she had the most wonderful birthday and we're definitely jealous! Bean's wears her "special Story clothes" today! 🤗 x

special mañanita for special girl. we filipinos feel special and loved if someone mañanita us on our birthdays😊 lucky girl! Happy Birthday!

Wow..That is a special Birthday celebration for Story and she enjoyed it and dance to the music. It is so fitting for Story in the shoreline celebrating it.

Yes, Filipinos still is still doing the “Mañanita / Mañanito”. Normally it’s very early morning. Love it

It’s in our culture treating people as a family member even though we didn’t know eachother as long as you respect and kind to one another. And we loved to offer of what we have/can. As long as you appreciate it and like what we offer/give to someone, specially people like you who came from the very far country. That don’t have relative or any member of your family behind you. We’re so humbled to share or express our feeling to welcome you with an openarms. And to feel you at home 🏡. in very simple way of life. I know you surprised to those people came with the landlord even if you didn’t know them. But in our culture it doesn’t matter if you know me or that person as long as they’re kind to you all. And as being a Filipino we love to see new people and loved to be part of the occasion. Specially bithday gathering and Fiestas. So I hope if you see them on the road or in the beach 🏖 or market or in any public places don’t hesitate to greet them and they’ll loved it 👍👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😘😍

Woah I can't control myself now, I cried as I listen to them singing happy birthday to story. I also love how story reacted and danced to show how she really appreciated it. ♥️😭

Never heard of this. It's amazing! One of the first songs sounded like a song of praise. It wasn't just one song too, a virtual sunrise concert for a very special 4 year old. So thoughtful to have a cake in her favorite color too. Just amazing kindess, love and sincerity for her and your family.

Jay's voice actually cracked at 15:56. Emotional moments. I love watching these positive emotions unfold. 😭😭😭😊😊😊❤❤❤

Wow!!! I truly enjoyed this video!!! So wonderful to see how "community" should look like!!! This is what our world can look like!!! Three cheers to the Filipino culture!!! Three cheers to this group of Filipinos!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STORY❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. Even here in the turbulent USA I could feel the emotions. Thanks again. God bless you and your lively little family.😇🙏

That birthday serenade was soooo special.

Mañanita is an early dawn birthday serenade to greet the birthday celebrator. Usually, the birthday celebrator would wake up to the songs. Afterwards, a light snack is served and everybody gets to greet and congratulate the birthday celebrator. Oh how I miss this Filipino tradition. 😃 Happy birthday Story! May you have many many birthdays to come. God bless you sweetie!

It was really special. People like these help keep faith in humanity. And Story deserves it.

My 94 year old passed away in 2015. He used to cry when our neighbors serenaded him on his birthday every year. Sooo touching!!! Happy birthday beautiful Story!!!

Most island communities and provinces here in the Philippines still practice Mañanita. We do it here in my town as well. 💜 Happiest Birthday, Story! 💖

Wow, what an uplifting treat for all. This act of kindness rekindles my heartfelt belief that people are truly good! I needed to see that...Thank you!!

What a beautiful serenade done at sunrise especially for Story for her birthday celebration! Such a joy and lovely tradition called 'Mañanita'! Because Story is so sweet and special and a fantastic offering that I hope she'll remember whenever she celebrates her birthday. Truly amazing!💜💟💖

She’s bigger now. We did mañaneta a long time ago. After we sang we throws flowers to the celebrant. I Miss Philippines. May God guide her always to the right path. Ameen.

It's my first time encountering Mañanita and never realized how special it was and full of emotion, it was such a beautiful moment waiting for the morning sun to rise. Filipino life and tradition in an island can never be compared anywhere else.

Ahhh! I miss having Mañanita. I used to be one of the groups that goes out early in the morning and sing for family & friends. We still do it in out village in Davao. My mum is having one this Nov 20 as it’s her birthday. It’s a lovely tradition. The early morning one they call it Mañanita, and when it’s done in the evening it’s called Harana. I’m so happy you are happy Story! 🥰🥰♥️♥️

Because she’s loved. Happy birthday. We love you story

Mananita is done especially for special people.They do it for the one they love and appreciate.if they composed a song for Story that means its more special.it's a heartwarming experience something you will never get anywhere.Quite impressive.
