This is a very popular Christmas song in the Philippines and the top favorite when Filipinos go carolling. In fact, this song whose original title is Namamasko is all about going to someone’s house to ask for aguinaldo — a Christmas gift usually taken to mean money.

Namamasko is from the Tagalog word Pasko meaning Christmas. It’s sort of like house-visiting wassailing.
