MANILA, Philippines - Manila will experience a unique and more festive Yule season this year as the city government, headed by Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada, in cooperation with the Mare Foundation, will bring the country’s first-ever 3-D video mapping pyro/laser lights musical, Sulong Manila 2015 Countdown over the stretch of Roxas Boulevard on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31.
Manila Bay skies will burst with magical colors through a grand display of laser lights and massive fireworks playing to well-loved Christmas songs.
A similarly colorful pre-event activity at the Rajah Soliman Plaza, Malate, will usher in the Sulong Manila 2015 Countdown from Dec. 24 to 30.
Audiences will have the chance to savor the magic of Christmas by way of a 3-D video mapping projection skit that will bring life to buildings around the area. The 10-minute showcase will feature one family’s inspiring Christmas story.
Sponsored by ICTSI and Manila North Harbor, the first-of-its-kind event is a project of the Mare Foundation, chaired by former Sen. Loi Ejercito.
Mare Foundation is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life of underprivileged Filipinos through various development programs.
Over the years, Mare Foundation has implemented livelihood programs around the country. It also provided alternative sources of income to underprivileged families like the hog-raising project in Iriga, Camarines Sur.
It also delivers health assistance through medical/dental/surgical missions in depressed areas nationwide and provides micro-financing projects in Metro Manila.
