The Liwanag Park 2012 & Light Show in Meralco Complex

Christmas is more fun in the Philippines! I have the opportunity to take some photos after the Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Night at Meralco Theater last December 27, 2012. It's became the tourist destination of Filipino particularly the Lopez Building show of lights dancing to the tune of "Silent Night".I truly feel the holiday spirit in the whole area and this park is opened to public. There is no entrance fee and all you need to do is to register at their gate lobby entrance. It is usually open to the public every day, until January 6, 2013 from 6 to 10 p.m. I was amazed with their church replica and small houses with colorful lights and decors. The Liwanag Park and the partnership with the DOT are just part of the larger “Maliwanag ang Pasko” program of Meralco. Celebration of the Christmas Season in the Philippines is a lots of related stories to tell, but right now, just sharing how Filipino celebrates holiday season as it unfolded through my camera.
