There are activities for everybody’s enjoyment and we have taken the festivities across Filinvest City.”

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.

will also fill the air with Christmas tunes and grooves every Friday
starting November 16.
