Tonight
is the awaited ceremonial lighting of Christmas tree at Pastrana Park in Kalibo.
Mayor
William Lachica and local officials of Kalibo will lead the ceremonial
switch-on of Christmas lights and fireworks display at 5 p.m which will be
witnessed by the residents of Kalibo and its neighboring town in Aklan.
Every
corner of the plaza and the trees will be decorated by beautiful and flashing
Christmas lights called “Iwag it Kalibonhons”.
The
construction of the gigantic Christmas tree which is based on a nativity scene
and larger compared to the previous years’ is supported by Aklanons from
Juneau, Alaska.
It
can be recalled that the lighting of the giant Christmas tree has been the
annual tradition of Kalibonhons in reminiscing the Christmas season and the
Birth of Christ and in line with the start of "Misa de Gallo".
