Alabang West Parade welcomed the Christmas season with A Starlit Christmas, a month-long celebration that transforms the South into a radiant space for togetherness, creativity, and Filipino pride. The highlight of the launch was the Grand Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony held on November 7, marking the start of a season that honors the warmth and generosity of the Filipino holiday spirit.
The ceremonial lighting was led by City Councilor Macky Saito, Global Estate Resorts, Inc. President Atty. Monica T. Salomon, and Megaworld Lifestyle Malls executives Rene C. Arnobit, Vice President and Head of Mall Operations, Tinay Villanueva, Head of Brand, Creatives, and Marketing, and Vanessa Vicente, Cluster General Manager.
The symbolic lighting paid homage to the parol — the quintessential Filipino Christmas lantern — representing light, hope, and unity. Through this meaningful moment, Alabang West Parade reaffirmed its role as a vibrant community destination in the South, a place where people can celebrate, connect, and gather all season long.
The night sparkled with performances from the De La Salle Santiago Zobel Chorale and Luntiang Dagitab Dance Troupe, filling the air with music and movement that captured the joyful rhythm of a Filipino Christmas. The evening culminated in a breathtaking pyromusical display that lit up the Alabang skyline and the hearts of everyone in attendance.
“A Starlit Christmas is our way of bringing the community together, to celebrate Filipino artistry, generosity, and the shared joy that defines our culture. We want every family who visits Alabang West Parade to feel connected to the season, to one another, and to the stories that make Christmas in the Philippines truly special,” said Shiela Cervan, General Manager of Alabang West Parade.
