Giant Christmas Decors

On my way home to CDO after a tiring validation and audit of our clients in the western side of Mindanao, I decided to take a glance of the famous Tangub City Festivities especially during the holiday season. Tangub City is not only known for sumptuous crabs and large shrimps but is also hosts to gigantic Christmas decorations. It is actually considered as the Giant Christmas Décor Capital of the Philippines.

True to its name, I was able to see first-hand the creativity of the residents of Tangub City. You will already feel the spirit of Christmas early in this small city nestled in this side of Mindanao. The big stars they created out of the indigenous materials found locality reminds me of my childhood memories when we had adorned our bahay-kubo then with native Christmas decors. Theirs have light while ours didn’t have one.

This annual celebration and showcase at Tangub City has been featured in the evening newscast of major television and news outfits in the country. Rated K hosted by Korina Sanchez had featured it last year. And since I am working in CDO, I made it a target to visit the place this year.

Fortunately, I came face-to-face with the giant lanterns. But it was also unfortunate because I had to go back to CDO then and was able to watch the display only during the day. It is best to see it during night time when all the lights have been turned on and many tourists mustered in this quiet and small city.

Wish I could spend a time in Tangub City with my love one next year.
