36-ft Christmas Tree lights up in Pasay
PASAY City Mayor Emi Calixto Rubiano led the start of the holiday season in the city with the illumination of a 36-foot Christmas tree on Tuesday night in front of the Pasay City Hall.
The event aimed to highlight Mayor Calixto Rubiano’s commitment to offering affordable and community-oriented celebrations, in line with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ‘s focus on government frugality.
Mayor Calixto-Rubiano directed all department heads to forgo extravagant pre-Christmas events, in response to the President’s appeal for government agencies to prioritize aid for typhoon victims over lavish Christmas spending.
“This Christmas, we celebrate not only the festive spirit but also our commitment to helping those in need. Our city’s Christmas celebrations will be a testament to our values of joyful celebration and responsible stewardship of public resources.”
