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.

We would recommend that you place your capiz parol on the inside of a window. Your friends and neighbors will still be able to enjoy the beautiful lights of your capiz parol from the window and at the same time, you’re protecting your capiz parol from harmful outside elements.

Once the Christmas season is over, and it’s time to put your capiz parol away, you will want to put it back into it’s original packaging. Another way to preserve the capiz parol is to place it in a hard sided container similar to the wreath plastic storage boxes.

Taking good care of your capiz parol will help you maintain it’s condition for many years to come!

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!

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.

Wiring and lights are added before the larger pieces are soldered together.

The result was a time enduring vehicle with a remarkable combination of Filipino ingenuity and creativity in the midst of the post-war crisis. In terms of appearance, no jeepney is exactly the same. Each jeepney was designed with well-detailed artworks elaborately displayed on its bodies and even in the vehicles interior. Every single one has its own unique design and is usually given touches often reflective of a common-man’s sentiments of the time.

Today, the Philippine Jeepney is the most popular means of transportation in the Philippines. It is proof of the Filipino’s world renowned ability to produce efficient technology from scrap machinery and limited financial resources. Truly, jeepneys have become the country’s symbol of adaptation to global influence and change.

We all remember Christmas in the Philippines. For a Filipino, the Christmas parol is the symbol of Christmas. Parols of all sizes and materials hang in people’s home, along the streets, on the trees and everywhere you look there’s a Christmas parol. Filipino Christmas parols are festive and bright in color and light.
