Santa's New Look
Takes "Local Tread
Santa Claus is taking on a
new look in the Phillipines,
The traditional, snow -suited
Santa has been popular for
years but with the gradual rise
of nationalism, Santa is be-
coming "Filipinoized."
More and more advertise-
ments show Santa's sleigh being
pulled by water buffaloes rath-
er than reindeer.
The temperature is hardly
DECEMBER 23, 1971
ever below'75 degrees in this
tropical climate, so Santa is
often seen wearing a "barong
tagalog" rather than a snow
suit.' Barong" is a cool, thin
native styled shirt made of
pine- apple fiber.
Instead of a snow cap, the
"new" Santa wears a pointed
hat called a "salaket."
The traditional Santa can
still be found in Manila's dep-
artment stores, but the time
may not be far off when he
disappears altogether.
