00:07The year of the fire horse is in Rio de Janeiro,
00:10and it's not a joy.
00:12But in the beginning,
00:14there was a message to the Chinese Embassy
00:16to the drone show at fireworks display.
00:19According to Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines,
00:21Jane Chen,
00:22it's a good look at the two people
00:25at the same time.
00:32As the Chinese often say,
00:36close neighbors are better than distant relatives.
00:41So over the past decade,
00:43China has consistently been the Philippines' largest trading partner
00:47and the largest source of imports.
00:50So we strongly believe that we're neighbors,
00:54so we're friends.
00:55Dagdag pa ni Jing,
00:57bahagi rin ito ng mas malawak na direksyon,
01:00ang mas pinalalakas na people-to-people exchange,
01:03at mas pinatatag ang komunikasyon ng magkabilang panig.
01:07Aniya,
01:08naibalik ang political dialogue sa pagtatapos ng Enero,
01:11matapos itong mahinto ng mahigit isang taon.
01:14Palalawakin rin ang trade, investment,
01:17at education talks.
01:19The Chinese Embassy would keep its doors wide open
01:23for the engagement with all sectors in the Philippines
01:26to enhance mutual trust and understanding.
01:30I hope that all the people here will continue to serve as an envoys
01:35and a breach of China-Philippines friendship
01:38by contributing to the static growth of our bilateral relations.
01:43Sinabi naman ng Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry,
01:47Inc. of FFCC-CII,
01:50ng selebrasyon ay mas nagiging makabuluhan
01:53dahil sa pagtutulungan ng Filipino-Chinese community
01:56at ng pamahalaang lunsod ng Maynila.
01:59Indeed, great things happen when we all work hard,
02:05hand in hand, together.
02:07Let us continue to pursue programs that uplift lives,
02:11support business, growth, and promote harmony in the society.
02:17Pero ang mas nangibabaw ay ang experience ng mga tao
02:21na sabay-sabay na tumitingala,
02:23napapatingin sa susunod na kislap sa himpapawid
02:26at nagre-react sa bawat sunod-sunod na putok sa langit.
02:30Hindi lang mga Pilipino at Chinoy ang nakicelebrate kagabi
02:33dahil may mga first-timers at may mga turistang sinadyaang binondo
02:38para maramdaman ang Lunar New Year dito sa Pilipinas.
02:42Para sa mag-asawang Ellie at Alexa Branton,
02:44hindi lang tungkol sa magandang fireworks display ito,
02:48kundi ang mas malalim na kasaysayan ng pagkakaibigan
02:51ng mga Pilipino at Chinese.
02:54Usually, most of the fireworks are banned from like America,
02:58but here, it's way better.
02:59The best fireworks show that I have seen.
03:02Very colorful talaga at sobrang,
03:07especially tayo mga Pilipino ay cultural, diba?
03:11And it's so maganda na makita yung Filipino, Chinese friendship.
03:16Para naman sa ilang pamilyang ginagawa ng tradisyon ang pagpunta sa binondo,
03:21iba pa rin ang saya kapag kumpleto ang pamilya,
03:24lalo na kung may pagkakataong minsan lang ang magsama-sama.
03:28At ngayong taon, mas dumagdag pa ang wow factor.
03:32Dahil bukod sa fireworks, meron ding drone show na nagpa-level up sa gabi.
03:37Kaya para sa mga nanonood, mas kakaiba ang pakiramdam kagabi.
03:41Yearly talaga kapag nandito kami sa Philippines,
03:45lalo na pag umuwi yung asawa ko from barko,
03:47talagang sineselebrate namin pag may time kaming mabuo.
03:50Talagang umupunta kami dito sa Chinese New Year.
03:54There's a lot of fireworks.
03:55It was actually really cool.
03:56And the drones that was added in.
03:58That's the first time.
03:59I mostly see those videos on China.
04:02Sa bawat kislap sa langit ngayong Year of the Fire Horse,
04:05sabay-sabay din ang hiling ng marami,
04:07mas masiglang taon, mas masaganang araw,
04:10at mas mapayapang kinabukasan.
