At midnight, Filipino families gather together and eat a midnight meal, a belief that would ensure plenty of food in the coming year. Filipino children follow a custom of jumping up and down twelve times, believing that they would grow taller in the coming year.
Sa hating gabi, bago mag bagong taon, ang mga pamilya sa Pilipinas ay nagtitipon-tipon at sabay-sabay kumakain sa paniniwala ng pagkakaroon ng mas maraming pagkain sa darating na taon.
