Now that you’ve purchased your capiz parol, you want to make sure that it stays in good condition for a long time. Capiz parols are made of delicate material and can easily be damaged by the elements.
Consider the placement of your capiz parol before hanging it. You want it to be sheltered as much as possible from the wind (it can get knocked around and damage the capiz panes and/or the bulbs can go out), rain and snow can damage not only the capiz panes but also the metal siding. Try to keep your capiz parol indoors as much as possible. Or, if you’d like to take it outside, keep it in plastic. You also have to make sure that the capiz parol isn’t placed where it can be harmed by strong wind, rain or snow.

Your parol light is out and now you’re wondering how to change it. It’s easier than you think.
PangBahay’s capiz parols all use standard night light bulbs because they’re easy to find (grocery, convenience or hardware stores carry these bulbs), easy to replace and they only use 4watts.
Here’s how you change a bulb.
Unplug your parol.
Open the back cover of the parol. The back cover is secured using standard screws.
Find the non-functioning light. Test the light first, it might just be loose. Tighten it, and see if that works.
If the light is burned out, replace with a new night light.
Replace the back cover and secure it with the screws.
Plug your capiz parol and enjoy!

The capiz parols of PangBahay come from Pampanga where generations of capiz parol makers have lived. The Filipino capiz parols we offer are not made in factories, but in people’s homes or community buildings. The capiz parol makers are family-owned businesses employing their neighbors during peak times making it a source of much needed income for a number of families.
Capiz parols are well-known not only in the Philippines but the world over as Filipinos have migrated just about everywhere!
It’s amazing how such a beautiful capiz parol comes from a simple shell which comes naturally in white.
These shells are hand cut to specific size panes for each parol.
The panes are painted individually by hand.
The capiz pieces are held together by a thin piece of metal (also hand cut) and soldered together to form the shape of the parol design.

Filipino Traditions
Filipino parols are so symbolic of the Filipino Christmas season. It’s the star that shines brightly for the world to see that Jesus our savior was born. A Filipino parol shines in every ones house to celebrate the season of sharing, giving, peace and love. Filipino Christmas parols are so unique and for us Filipinos, easily recognizable as the symbol of our faith and our culture.
Another symbol of our faith is the belen. It’s another thing that we had in our house when we were growing up during the Christmas season. It’s not so much a big focus here in the US, but I do remember that it to be a prominent fixture in our Christmas decorations. A belen is a nativity scene and the most basic version you can find is one with a manger, Mary, Joseph, the

Christmas to me back home wasn’t so much the Christmas tree trimmed with balls and garlands or the puto with queso de bola. What I remember most are the parols that that hang under the bridges or overpasses. It was such a profusion of color and filmy streamers swaying in breeze.
Christmas season in the Philippines begins when the parol vendors come out. Unlike here in the US where Christmas season begins in late November after Thanksgiving, parol vendors start selling their parols in the “ber” months, September, October, November and December. Christmas season in the Philippines is a significantly longer period of time.
There are only two types of parols (if we really simplify it). There’s the traditional parol and the capiz parol. The parol that makes me really nostalgic for home is the more traditional parol. The star with
