00:00The Christmas spirit is very much alive in some provinces in the country.
00:06In San Juan City, the Christmas tree was also lit up,
00:10which is the star of the Filipino culture.
00:12That's what Maris Umali is talking about live.
00:16Maris?
00:20There's a bright light, colors, and a peaceful Christmas.
00:24This is the part of San Juan City where they are lighting their giant Christmas tree
00:29which is accompanied by a magnificent fireworks display.
00:35The center of attention tonight is the 35-step giant Christmas tree
00:39that was lit up here in San Juan City as a sign of the beginning of Christmas.
00:44The theme this year is Filipino as it is important to the Filipino culture.
00:48That's why the Christmas tree is made of bamboo, copper, and others.
00:52Aside from the giant Christmas tree, there are also miniature Christmas trees
00:56that were made in the old or patapon of Barong Tagalog,
00:58a group of persons deprived of liberty of San Juan,
01:01to help them rise.
01:03These will also be sold in the Christmas Bazaar here.
01:08There is also a magnificent fireworks display that makes San Juan people happier.
01:13But it's not just the light and colors that spread around
01:16because the barangay and school singing competition was also launched
01:19that is more lively at night.
01:21There is also a one-stop shop where you can see the Christmas display
01:24in the open parking area in front of the City Hall.
01:26If you're hungry, there's food.
01:28And if you don't have a gift for Christmas,
01:30you can also buy it here in the Christmas Bazaar in San Juan.
01:36The Christmas lights in Corimao, Ilocos Norte are also very lively.
01:39The display can be found in the second floor of the municipality.
01:44The colorful Christmas halls are also decorated with trees
01:47that are surrounded by the giant Christmas tree.
01:52Aside from the light of giving,
01:54the message of unity is highlighted by the Christmas tree in Cervantes, Ilocos Sur.
01:58The 40-foot tree is made of recycled materials and painted wood.
02:06The plaza of Iligan City is illuminated by the light of the giant Christmas tree.
02:22Mel, for those who are going to the Christmas Bazaar here in San Juan City,
02:27expect that you will also visit different venues
02:30like Acoustic Performances and Open Mic Night.
02:33And of course, the Christmas Bazaar here in San Juan City is open
02:37every day from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. until January 1, 2025.
