Come home to a Filipino Christmas at the Shang

-

Decked out with parols carrying the rich and warm colors of the merry season, premier lifestyle destination Shangri-La Plaza Mall brings shoppers the mood and nostalgic feeling that only an authentic Filipino Christmas can evoke.

The Shang continues its tradition of executing grand holiday decor, though this year presents a departure from the mall’s usual Western-inspired themes, with a stylized Filipino motif and the parol as the unifying element. And as a tribute to Filipino master Fernando Amorsolo, the parols, handcrafted by artisans from Pampanga, are rendered in signature Amorsolo colors.

Also in keeping with the theme of a true Filipino Christmas, the mall mounts an impressive lineup of outstanding holiday performances that shoppers and the general public can enjoy absolutely free. Catch world-class Pinoy talents in music, dance, and theater as well as notable chorale groups from various schools and universities within Metro Manila, as they regale audiences with renditions of beloved carols, kundimans, and OPM songs at the Shang’s Grand Atrium.

OB Montessori Center wishes everyone a Maligayang Pasko with their repertoire of holiday carols today, Dec. 16 at 4:30 p.m., followed by the captivating Sounds of Santiago in Diwa ng Pasko at 6 p.m.
