The "ber" months haven't arrived yet, but who could blame you if you began singing Jose Mari Chan's iconic Christmas songs as early as now? It comes as no wonder because as soon as August started, many Pinoy netizens went about flooding social media feeds with memes featuring the warm smiling face of the famed singer-songwriter.
Chan has been a huge part of Christmas in the Philippines for his songs Christmas in Our Hearts, A Perfect Christmas, Mary’s Boy Child, and more, which have become the season's anthem in households, malls, jeepneys, radio stations, internet, and basically everywhere you go. These iconic songs touched the hearts of many Filipinos, that it prompted internet users to create memes about Chan.
