00:00The Beach Resort will host the New Year's Eve gatherings in Cagayan de Oro tonight.
00:06Let's talk about what happened.
00:08First news live, James Paolo Yap of GMA Regional TV Games.
00:13Happy New Year!
00:16Susan, good morning and happy new year.
00:19Here in Cagayan de Oro, some people are more willing to celebrate the New Year outside their homes to watch the fireworks display.
00:28Some people started the celebration of the New Year countdown through the worship service at St. Augustine Cathedral Church in Cagayan de Oro City.
00:36Many families also spent time in Gaston Park where they were happy to watch the symphony of lights prepared by the LGU.
00:43Many also rushed to buy fireworks in the designated area in Rotonda in Cagayan de Oro City.
00:49When night came, many people watched the fireworks display from Cagayan Bridge.
00:55Some cars and motorcycles also made noise as part of the New Year gatherings.
00:59According to Cagayan de Oro City Police, the gatherings were peaceful.
01:05Now, they are stuck at the Beach Resort because they are expecting more people to come there today.
01:12It is the tradition of the family, especially in our tradition as Filipinos, that there should be fireworks to get rid of negative vibes, bad spirits, and bad luck.
01:26We're very happy and even though it's raining, the glass is still raining.
01:32Susan, up until now, the Cagayan de Oro City Police has not reported any incidents.
01:42They are reminding our fellow Filipinos to stay at home to avoid bad luck.
01:50Thank you very much, James Paulo Yap of GMA Regional TV.
02:02Thank you for tuning in to Unang Balita.
