===Philippines=== In the [[Philippines]], [[Chinese Filipino]]s (known locally as "Filipino-Chinese") exchange red envelopes (termed ''ang pao'') during the [[Lunar New Year]] or "Chinese New Year". Red envelopes have gained acceptance in the broader Philippine society. Filipinos with no Chinese heritage appropriated the custom for occasions such as birthdays and in giving monetary ''[[aguinaldo]]'' during [[Christmas in the Philippines|Christmas]] and [[New Year]]. Due to the phonetics of most Philippine languages, red envelopes are nowadays more well known as ''ampaw''.<!--please insert a reference-->
