During the opening of the Liwanag Park, Meralco officers treated their guests with some musicale number from the Mandaluyong Children chorale and Meralco chorale while the guest are feasting on the sumptuous food prepared for them. There were turon, pancit, bibingka and a lot more that made us feel that Christmas is just around the corner. What makes it more like Christmas is in the air already are the things you see around the place like the shining Christmas lights, towering Christmas trees, sparkling parols, there were also light displays and attractions like Christmas figures made of scrap copper wire, a mini train that the public can ride, a Toy Town and a bazaar and and many others… it just made the atmosphere more like the spirit of Christmas is here already.

As the program unfolds, Meralco officers headed by Mr. Manny Pangilinan together with the Department of Tourism representative welcomed all the guest and the participants of the lighting ceremony. It was also during this time that they announced that Meralco will be giving away a prize of P5,000 that will be given on a daily basis from the period of December 1-22 to the chosen individual who will be joining the "Maliwanag Ang Pasko" contest.
