Like most Filipinos, 'Destiny Rose' star Ken Chan spends Christmas with his family.

"Talagang inii-spend ko 'yung Christmas ko with my family talaga. Sobrang mas doon ko nararamdaman yung spirit ng Christmas, together with my family. [May] simpleng kainan, basta sama sama kami, with my friends," he shares in an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com.

But aside from being with his family, the actor also finds time to do some good deeds during the holiday season. Along with his friends and co-artists, Ken visits the young cancer patients at the Philippine General Hospital.

"Every year, pumupunta kami sa PGH para sa mga batang may cancer. Nagbibigay kami doon. ine-entertain namin sila. Nagbibigay kami ng mga toys for them para mas maramdaman nila 'yung [Pasko]. Alam mo kasi kapag bata 'di ba? Kapag binigyan mo ng toys, walang kasing saya 'yan. so isa sa mga dahilan para mas mapawi 'yung sakit na nararamdaman nila is 'yung mapasaya namin sila. Bibigyan mo ng toys, magpapakain kami sa kanila, papasayahin namin sila."

He still does not have any concrete Christmas plans this year, but he is really looking forward to have his family with him.

"Hindi ko pa alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin sa Christmas pero looking forward na Christmas ko is kasama ko talaga 'yung pamilya ko. 'Yun talaga. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano'ng mangyayari, kung out of town ba ako noon, 'di ko alam eh. Wala pa kong idea but I'm expecting na sana sa family ako."
