00:19I know, I felt the Christmas right away because
00:23the noisy, noisy, and noisy children who sing the Christmas carols are here again.
00:31More than two weeks before Christmas,
00:34the Palace of Manacanang was reopened.
00:37The return to activity was held to celebrate the nationwide gift-giving day.
00:43President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Arnetta Marcos
00:48were happy to share the gift with the children.
00:51Some First Family members, Joseph Simon and William Vincent,
00:58were also there, bonding with the children.
01:00Aguinaldo received more than 2,000 children.
01:04Each of them had a bag full of school supplies and household goods.
01:08Food was also free, such as cotton candy, ice cream, and packed meal.
01:14According to President Marcos, despite the noise,
01:18he wanted the Christmas celebration to be joyful and noisy,
01:23especially for the families affected by the calamities.
01:27You know, Christmas is our open house because that's the tradition of our family, the Marcos family.
01:38When I was young, we lived here.
01:42I hope that we will have a Merry Christmas because we were given a little time to be with our loved ones,
01:53to celebrate a little, to be happy a little, and to eat a lot of lechon and ham.
02:03That's Christmas for the Filipinos.
02:06We had a hard time last year.
02:08We were hit by the El Niño and La Niña floods.
02:14Our agriculture went dry.
02:18The El Niño and La Niña floods followed.
02:23It was full of typhoons.
02:25So I hope that we will have a Merry Christmas.
02:28The First Family also prepared other joyful activities.
02:32The kids were very happy with the inflatables,
02:36where they can slide and jump.
02:39The games were exciting,
02:42like the one where President Marcos pulled the string of the Rock of Goodies.
02:47The kids felt their gratitude and love
02:52for the First Family and the Christmas caroling.
03:03More than 30,000 kids participated in the nationwide gift-giving.
