It’s a yearly date.. to spend a night at Meralco Liwanag Park,  then dinner at a restaurant of their choice. The kids have been looking forward to that day, specially that they have seen the Belen the last time we passed by Ortigas Avenue. My little girl even asked why Joseph is holding an umbrella (oh what a cute observation!)..

Now, I can’t wait to tell them that Meralco Liwanag is now open, once again, to the public! It is open everyday (until January 6) from 6-10 PM. I guess this weekend or next will be a Liwanag Park weekend for us.

The Liwanag Park and the partnership with the DOT are just part of the larger Maliwanag ang Pasko program of Meralco, though. Under the program, Filipino households, too, are enjoined to do their part in lighting up their homes this season. In return, they get the chance to win prizes. To join, they may take a photo of their lighted homes or of any of the Liwanag Parks and upload them on the Meralco Facebook page.  Every entry helps contribute to Meralco’s program of energizing public schools in Palawan, Bohol, Quezon and Dinagat Islands. By joining the program, customers, therefore, not only help brighten their communities, but they also get the opportunity to help uplift public schools in the country and provide a better future for underprivileged school children.
