Bringing Christmas to life in the Metro South

MANILA, Philippines — Filinvest City in Alabang has truly earned its place as the premier lifestyle destination in the Metro South, an ideal live-work-play community that has everything a city dweller needs.

This holiday season, Filinvest City transforms itself into a more dazzling spectacle with a unique Christmas wonderland.

On the sixth year of its holiday tradition, Filinvest City raises the bar even higher with “Christmas Comes Alive,” vivifying a section of Spectrum Linear Park with sparkling holiday decors and life-sized outdoor installations.

“Year in and year out, we set out to make Filinvest City as the most inviting holiday destination here in the Metro South,” says Don Ubaldo, head of townships. “This year, we are bringing it up a notch with Christmas Comes Alive. There are activities for everybody’s enjoyment and we have taken the festivities across Filinvest City.”

The Spectrum Linear Park, as the stunning backdrop where the main events will be held, will have four themed sections such as “The Christmas Tree,” “Once Upon A Christmas Dream,” “Aboard the Christmas Train,” and “Up, Up, and Away”—elements that are sure to keep visitors in awe.

South-grown talents such as school chorale groups and community dance troupes will also fill the air with Christmas tunes and grooves every Friday until December 29.
