Megaworld’s 72-hectare township development ushers in the merriest season of the
year with its sparkling 40-foot Christmas Tree and giant lighted installations at the
‘Enchanted Forest of Lights’
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 Ilonggos at ‘The Mega Book Fair’ happening from November 8-11,
while a display of glam fashion finds will also be showcased at the Iloilo
Designers Week from November 18-30. Rounding up the treats for the season are
