Funny Balikbayan Box Video!

People from the Philippines knows what a Balikbayan Box is. For those of who don't, read on. Balikbayan is a combination of two Filipino(Tagalog) words Balik and Bayan, wherein Balik meant return and Bayan means home.
When Filipinos say Balikbayan, it refers to a Filipino who went to live and work abroad and is returning to the Philippines permanently, but today it can be used to describe just everyone who comes back. Here's a broad and detailed definition of Wikipedia: Balikbayan

Balikbayan Box then meant a cardboard box used to contain various products or items to utilize a Balikbayan's check-in baggage allowance in an airline. Here's a link to Wikipedia's short description of the Balikbayan Box .

Most can't relate with the video but its hilarious what Filipinos can stuff into the box just to have something to give to his family and relatives when he comes home.


Hehehe, that's a lot of SPAM! I also found the old magazines crazy!
Anyways, if you're interested to know, the lady on video did all the script, acting, piano, lyrics and singing of that funny christmas song. She's one of the most subscribed and watched user content maker in YouTube. Check out her YouTube channel HERE.
Oh, Merry Christmas to you. :)
