Prosperity:This is Virra Mall in Greenhills in the middle of a Chinese New Year preparation frenzy, hence all the red decors hanging in the mall's lobby. Whereas once the Chinese New Year was not seemingly practiced, this year is more celebrated by way of being a holiday (a first, far as I can remember).
Whether this is because Filipinos just look for an excuse ot party, or whether we are finally recognizing the fact that we have a relatively large Filipino-Chinese community - the fact remains that the Chinese New Year is becoming a marketing pitch for people who wish to sell their wares with the excuse of these items ably attracting luck and prosperity to its new owners.
Add to that fact the situation that majority of Filipinos feel and one can understand why people - specially the non-Chinese, are willing put into practice all the suggestions of Geomancers, so much so that these selling of lucky charms or totems may very well match the sales of gifts for Christmas. Me? I've been practicing some of these things for personal prosperity. I get the usual luck totems, and my home has some Chinese-oriented Feng Shui items - after all, if it can help, I'm willing to get them to at least make sure I've favorable chances with business, prosperity. health and family.
