00:17The Taguig City Government decided to light up their year of Christmas by the lake.
00:22In this 3rd year, new attractions should be seen
00:26such as the TLC Park that can be found along the C6 Road next to Laguna Divay.
00:32One of the attractions this year is the Christmas Animated Display
00:36where the rich tradition is being shown every Christmas through life-size mannequins.
00:42In addition to what should be seen is the Northern Lights Experience
00:46which is the first in the country that is inspired by the beauty of Aurora Borealis.
00:50In the park, you can also see the Christmas Tree
00:53which symbolizes hope, unity, and happiness
00:57that will be a part of the portrait of each visitor.
01:00One of the attractions in the park is the Lights of Christmas Park,
01:04Walkway of Lights, TLC Food Park, Gravity Area, and Mercado Del Lago Floating Village.
01:10One of the places that visitors can visit now is the Glass House
01:14where the famous paintings from the local artists of Taguig are displayed.
01:18According to Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano,
01:21the lights and decorations of this year are more colorful
01:24that reflects and reminds us of the blessings received by the city this year.
01:29Last year, there were more than 20,000 visitors to the park every day
01:34not only from Taguig but also from other cities and provinces.
01:40That's why Taguig LGU has also prepared what it expects this year.
01:47We did a lot of augmentations and we're very blessed
01:51because aside from the security team of our city,
01:54the Philippine National Police is also on board.
01:57They also helped us in the coordination and augmentation of our police force.
02:01So we're hoping and praying of course that this year,
02:05everything will be smooth in terms of security.
02:11There are medical and health desk, CCTV cameras,
02:15and also security personnel around the park.
02:18A parking space is also prepared for visitors who have a car.
02:23There is also a priority lane for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and Buddhists.
02:29Their pets may also be allowed, but under certain conditions.
02:33Entry into the park is free,
02:35and visitors are encouraged to book online or call on the phone,
02:40but walk-in visitors are still welcome.
02:43The park is open from today, December 1,
02:46from 5 to 10 p.m.,
02:48every Sunday to Thursday,
02:50and from 5 to 11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday.
02:55Christmas by the Lake will last until January 12 of the next year,
