This year’s Christmas Street Lighting that uplift moods along the stretch of Ayala Avenue, Paseo de Roxas, and Makati Avenue pays tribute to our cultural heritage via intricate patterns from various regions (Inabel and Burdado from Luzon: Banig Tikog from Visayas; and T’ Boli, Ukli, and Yakan weaves from Mindanao). The Pag-iilaw is a well-loved Makati tradition, and this year’s bright lights are courtesy of Firefly Lighting Corporation.

These gigantic “woven” decors transform the streets into festive landmarks. These lovely Christmas street lights brighten up the holidays for the thousands who work in the central business district, as well as for those who call it home.
