The 35-foot Christmas tree lights up the Parqal, marking the start of Aseana City’s magical holiday season.

Parañaque City, Philippines - You know that it’s already the season of Christmas when the streets are all gleaming with colorful lights, kids are caroling with Christmas songs we all know from the heart. But the heartwarming part of it all is when we see a giant Christmas tree, shining with lots of hanging displays on its branches. Aseana City brings this festive and nostalgic feeling to Parqal as they light up their giant Christmas tree as a mark of the start of holiday festivities in Parqal, transforming Aseana City into a hub of seasonal magic and community spirit.

Present at the Christmas Tree lighting was Dr. Sylvia C. Wenceslao, Chairwoman of D.M. Wenceslao Group; Mr. Edwin C. Wenceslao, Director and Vice President of Treasury; and Mr. Paolo C. Wenceslao, Director and Chief Operating Officer, D.M. Wenceslao Group; as well as Hon. Edwin L. Olivarez, Mayor of Parañaque City; Hon. Benjo Bernabe, Vice Mayor; and Hon. Eric Olivarez, Congressman. Their presence highlighted the event’s importance as both a celebration of the season and a testament to the growing community of Aseana City, which continues to build in the future. 

“As we gather tonight, I can’t help but reflect on what this event truly represents. Apart from celebrating the festive season, this is also an excellent opportunity to appreciate the year that has passed and acknowledge the people who made it more meaningful,” said DMWAI Director, Mr. Edwin C. Wenceslao.

Members of the Barasoain Camerata PH Chorale serenaded the guests at Parqal’s Christmas Tree Lighting.

Guests were treated to a musical experience, serenaded by the talented choir of Nord Anglia International School and the Barasoain Camerata PH Chorale, whose performance filled Parqal with the warmth of Christmas. Adding to the festive cheer, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance, delighting the guests, both young and young-at-heart, before the much-awaited lighting of the grand Christmas tree.

“As we light the tree tonight, may it remind us that Christmas is not only about the lights that shine around us, but also about the light we bring to one another. May the glow of this tree symbolize the strength of our connection and the bright future that we will build together at Parqal and Aseana City,” said Mr. Edwin Wenceslao. 

As Christmas draws closer, Aseana City promises even more opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the magic of the season— creating lasting memories while strengthening the community spirit that defines the real Christmas in the Philippines.
