Probably I'm one of the expectant of the lighting ceremony of the Ortigas East Christmas Street Musical Light Tunnel, not just because I was invited but looking forward to seeing this musical light show. So, good thing I was there to witness and have some photos under it.

Ortigas & Company leads in welcoming the most wonderful time of the year in Metro Manila once again as it opened the Ortigas East Christmas Street Musical Light Tunnel to usher in the holiday season on November 4, 2019.

Set to light up the premier developer’s Ortigas East estate in Pasig City, the Christmas Street Musical Light Tunnel will brighten the holidays for the whole community with an enchanting light display playing alongside well-loved Christmas songs. With this show, families and friends can come together to celebrate the joy of the holiday season within the bustling estate.


“Ortigas & Company continues its rich tradition of ushering the Christmas season for the whole community by bringing back the Christmas Street Musical Light Tunnel at Ortigas East. This one-of-a-kind spectacle aims to bring together families and friends inside the bustling estate to celebrate the holidays and inspire hope and joy for all during this yuletide season,” says Jaime E. Ysmael, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ortigas & Co.

To light up this holiday spectacle, famed musical troupe Buganda Drumbeaters, students from Meridian International Business, Arts and Technology (MINT) College, the Rosario Zooombrgy of Pasig City, CCF Saints Dance Ministry, and employees from Ortigas & Company unveiled the lights and musical display through a series of festive musical numbers during the launch.

In addition to the lights and musical display, a mural to be designed in collaboration with students from MINT College will be unveiled in front of the Silver City 1A building during the holiday season. Titled EVERYTHING COUNTS, the mural aims to inspire environmental awareness among the whole community and invite them to come together to take immediate action towards environmental conservation and preservation.

Guests are also invited to take part in the festivities in the estate through the #OrtigasEastDanceChallenge, an activity where families and friends are encouraged to dance to the lights and sounds of the Christmas Tunnel and post their videos online. Those who come up with the most creative dance videos stand a chance to win prizes. Guests can visit and follow Ortigas East on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/OrtigasEastOfficial/ for more information on the contest mechanics.

There will also be a StrEAT Food night market open every night from 6PM to 10PM starting November 5, 2019 until January 5, 2020, where foodies in the Metro can gather to enjoy their favorite Filipino street eats. Foodies are also encouraged to bring their own utensils to the night market in support of the estate’s focus on eco-friendly and sustainable standards.

A variety of holiday activities are also happening inside the estate’s retail destination, Tiendesitas, where families and friends can gather to enjoy the fun and festive celebrations within the bustling community. Guests can kick-off the holidays as they visit the Gift of Wonders - a larger-than-life installation that will awaken the Christmas spirit during the gift-giving rush at the Food and Pet Village.
