A little over a week before the ‘ber’ months enter, and Jose Mari Chan’s domination of the airwaves with his yuletide hits topped by ‘Christmas in Our Hearts,” Angeles City has already illuminated Abacan Bridge and Friendship Bridge with rows of flaming red, deep red, and yellow Christmas lanterns, which were designed and conceptualized by Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel.
In Southeast Asia, the Philippines, which is predominantly Catholic, is known to have the longest Christmas celebration, which officially begins on September 1. Angeles City commenced the celebration even earlier.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. said that he ordered the installation of Christmas lanterns in the city in advance to spread happiness and love early.
