Zamboanga Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar led the opening ceremony amid rain showers due to a localized thunderstorm.
In her speech, Climaco said the ceremony is her 9th and last program to open the city’s holiday season before she steps down as mayor in June 2022.
Fake snow fell on dozens of umbrella-carrying spectators and visitors composed of government personnel, military and police officials.
The local government spent P2.5-million for this year’s Christmas display which also included lights and Christmas decorations at the Plaza Rizal, Plaza Pershing, Paseo del Mar, the small gardens surrounding City Hall, and the Zamboanga’s main thoroughfares.
The lighted Zamboanga City Hall has become a traditional event much awaited by residents of Zamboanga City.
