Malls in San Juan, QC launch Christmas activities

Some shopping centers have already started conveying Christmas to their patrons, lit their Christmas trees, and launched projects as gifts to cause-oriented groups.

The launch of Christmas at a shopping mall in San Juan City is simple and meaningful. The program is not pretentious as a partnership with the emerging economy; the important thing is to feel the Christmas spirit.

In contrast to the traditional Christmas activities, three natural Indian trees are decorated and lit by the well-known mall in San Juan City.

The people enjoyed the simplicity as the program was led by San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora and Jose Emmanuel Jalandoni, the President of Ortigas Land, along with Aio Hernandez, the president of the Independent Production Workers Group (IPWG).

They do not brag about it, what is essential is the spirit of Christmas that can give light and hope to others.

In the fundraising launched where there will be a Christmas with the Stars virtual concert in December, independent production workers are the beneficiaries who have long lost their jobs due to the lack of live events.

The gift packs given to them are just initial gifts.
They will also be provided with insurance and vaccinations for members who have not been vaccinated.

Also, part of the activity is the opening of a night market outside the mall.

The vendors here are the ones who have not been stationed inside the mall in recent months because the number of vendors there is limited.

“Malaking pagkakaton po ito para sa lahat na maumbalik na ang kabuhayan ng bawat Pilipino na talagang apektado. This will be a very good opportunity hindi lang sa mga negosyante na may stalls at resto pati siempre sa mga empleyado sapagkat mas mahaba na ngayon ang kanilang work hours,” said Zamora.

“Marami po sa min nagulat din, natuwa sila especially itong pandemic talagang wala po kaming mga trabaho. Salamat sa ortigas company na binigyan kami ng pagkakataon maging beneficiary nila,” said Hernandez.
