The young stars join an ensemble cast in a four-part anthology about the unexpected moments and relationships that make Christmas Filipino.
Christmas in the Philippines comes with its own set of traditions, unexpected reunions, and stories worth telling. This November, Seth Fedelin, Francine Diaz, Brent Manalo, and Mika Salamanca are bringing some of those moments to the screen through Netflix’s first-ever Filipino holiday anthology, Paskong Pinoy.
Premiering on November 26, the four-episode collection explores the many ways Filipinos experience the holidays, weaving together stories of romance, friendship, family, and the occasional twist of fate. For the four young stars, the project offers a chance to be part of a lineup that captures different sides of the Filipino Christmas experience.

Seth and Francine lead one of the anthology’s romantic stories, taking viewers on a getaway to Boracay where an unexpected meet-cute sets things in motion. With a holiday trip as its backdrop, their episode promises romantic detours and surprises along the way, adding a little kilig to the season’s lineup.
Brent and Mika join Kaila Estrada and JC Santos in an episode centered on family gatherings and traditions. Filipino Christmas celebrations rarely come without their share of familiar faces, complicated relationships, and moments that bring everyone together. Their story explores the warmth and unpredictability of those occasions, placing family at the heart of the holiday narrative.
The anthology also brings together other familiar faces for two more stories. Enchong Dee and Barbie Forteza take on an office romance set against the demands of the Christmas rush, where the possibility of love offers an unexpected source of motivation during the busiest time of the year.
For viewers looking for a dose of nostalgia, the original TGIS cast reunites on screen. Bobby Andrews, Angelu De Leon, Rica Peralejo, Bernadette Allyson, Michael Flores, Ciara Sotto, and Polo Ravales return as friends whose lives have taken different turns through the years. Their episode revisits the bonds of friendship and the ways people find their way back to one another.

Directed by Mark Reyes, Paskong Pinoy brings together different generations of performers and stories under one holiday collection. Each episode takes on a familiar part of the season, whether it is the thrill of meeting someone new, the comfort of reconnecting with old friends, or the complicated joy of spending time with family.
After all, no two Filipino Christmases look exactly alike. Sometimes the best parts come from the plans that change, the people who unexpectedly show up, and the connections that make the season memorable.
Catch Seth Fedelin, Francine Diaz, Brent Manalo, Mika Salamanca, and the rest of the cast in Paskong Pinoy, streaming exclusively on Netflix beginning November 26.
