In her opening speech, Sandoval emphasized that the event aimed to support small businesses as part of the city's recovery program.

"I will bring more jobs to Malabueños," Sandoval said.

"When you get to talk to our local vendors, you will understand why it means so much more to buy your gift from our Paskuhan Village," she added.

The Paskuhan Village is a project of the local government that provides an opportunity to Malabon local vendors to showcase their products in the Christmas Bazaar.

Aside from business opportunities, the Christmas bazaar delivers the vibes of this Holiday season.

The ceremonial lighting occurred after the traditional countdown which took place at 7 p.m.
