The Muntinlupa City government welcomed the holiday season with a giant Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 15.
The 45-foot Christmas tree, located at the Muntinlupa City hall quadrangle, is festooned with a three-foot star and has a 20-foot diameter base.
The tree was built using steel and adorned with garlands, Christmas balls, and resin decors, evoking a charm of a Christmas Village. It is illuminated with Christmas and pixel light bulbs, casting a magical glow over the city hall quadrangle.
