When in Iloilo during Christmas season, Central Philippine University (CPU) is truly not a place you wouldn’t like to miss. Perhaps you’ve heard that Ilonggos come together to witness and experience the annual ‘Festival of Lights and Music at Central’.
People from different parts of the city and province may experience the holiday feeling as the whole university transforms into a glittering landscape of Christmas lights and decors. This annual Christmas tradition is not complete without the nightly musical performance featuring amateur singing aspirants of all ages which added meaning to the Chritmas feeling.
During the opening night, a grand fireworks display followed by the switching on of thousands of colorful festive lights draws many spectators as it marks the month-long celebration.
Clusters of food stalls are also available with varieties from inasal to pizzas and fruit shakes.
This annual tradition is set to open this coming Dec. 4, 2009 following the theme, “Hatag Gugma sa Paskwa ‘09” made possible through the CPU Alumni Association Inc.
Very nice. I can’t wait for the opening of lights.
