Brace Yourselves, Jose Mari Chan Memes Are Coming

September is just another month for people around the world, but for Filipinos, it’s a sign that it’s time to gear up for the Christmas season.

The Philippines is known to celebrate the longest Christmas in the world, from Sept. 1 — or what we call the start of the “-ber” months — to the Three Kings’ Day on Jan. 6. Along with putting up Christmas lights and decorations at home, one thing that Filipinos never miss once September comes is welcoming the Christmas breeze through Jose Mari Chan memes.

Yes, he’s making a comeback again this year so if you’re up for some laughs, we’ve listed below the funniest social media posts about JMC and his iconic Christmas song!

Don’t worry about Jose Mari Chan. He’s aware of the memes, and he’s okay with them as long as we don’t go overboard. In an interview, he even encouraged seniors like himself to get vaccinated. Now that we live in uncertain times, he has reminded us to follow the three Ps: be patient, protected, and prayerful. Stay safe, everyone!
