Mandurriao, Iloilo
City –
Property giant Megaworld’s Iloilo Business Park officially kicked off the Christmas
season with a dazzling display of lights and color as over 38 giant animal
installations lit up along Megaworld Boulevard, Festive Walk Mall, Festive Walk
Parade, and Plaza Delgado.
With a ‘nostalgic childhood Christmas’
becoming the theme of this year’s decorations, bright lights and lively
performances took center stage at the Festive Walk Mall Outdoor Atrium, which
culminated with the lighting of the 40-foot Christmas Tree. The ceremonies were
led by Iloilo City Councilor Jay Treñas, Iloilo Business Park vice president
for sales and marketing Jennifer Palmares-Fong, and Festive Walk Iloilo general
manager Buford Tan.
Adding more color and luster to the evening’s
festivities was the official launch and lighting of the ‘Enchanted Forest of
Lights,’ a collection of giant lighted installations scattered in various parts
of Iloilo Business Park.
A must-see attraction within the 72-hectare
township this holiday season, the Enchanted Forest of Lights is composed of huge
LED-lighted displays that reach as high as 15 feet. These include larger-than-life
replicas of squirrels, dogs, bears, and giraffes, as well as sea animals like
goldfish, dolphins, octopus, and whales. A display of fantasy creatures, such
as the unicorn, also added to the magical wonder evoked by the whimsical
lighted displays.
“Christmas is all about savoring moments and
creating new memories with your loved ones. With our dazzling displays,
attractions and events, we invite everyone to celebrate the most wonderful time
of the year here at Iloilo Business Park,” Palmares-Fong said.
Keeping the magic of Christmas alive, local
performers from Parkour Iloilo, Jumpstreet Gymnastics, and Claravall-Gonzales
School of Classical Ballet regaled the audience with their aerial tricks,
acrobatics, and graceful ballet performances.
Over 40 kids from families belonging to the
Ati Community of Lanit—an indigenous community based in Jaro, Iloilo—added
flair to the celebration with their surprise performance. Concluding the
Christmas kickoff celebrations was the Kinaadman Chorale, which serenaded the
crowd with their own rendition of classic Yuletide carols.
During the event, Festive Walk Iloilo also
unveiled a series of upcoming and exciting events and activities in store for
mall goers this Holiday season.
An experience of wonder and adventure awaits
