Ethereal fairies, wide-eyed cherubs, pixie dust, starlit night and dancing lights all came together in a magical fairytale as Bonifacio Global City (BGC) held its annual Christmas lighting ceremony—Aglow: A BGC Christmas Fairytale, to officially welcome the holidays last November 20, 2019 at Bonifacio High Street.
Kids and kids-at-heart all waited with bated breath as BGC unveiled its stunning 55 foot Christmas tree right smack in the middle of Bonifacio High Street.
Indeed it was an enchanting night which made this mom-of-4 feel like a child again. A vision of twirling fairies , smokey effects , fireworks all combined to make a spectacular tree lighting event.
What made it doubly special was the appearance of the beneficiaries of the Christmas Aklat Project led by Fort Bonifacio Development Foundation, BGC’s social responsibility arm.
And as fairy dust rained on the venue, we walked a few steps to Italianni’s for a holiday dinner treat under the stars at the Bonifacio High Street Park which was filled with shining lights creating a truly magical spectacle. Indeed, BGC was aglow.
“BGC always aspires to bring something new for our BGCitizens. This year’s Holiday celebration centers on giving people a magical Christmas that will bring out the kid who once believed in limitless possibilities and happily-ever-afters. This whole celebration aims to spark that joy all over again,” said Myra Ocampo, Head of BGC’s Commercial Operations.
