鈥淚bahagi ang pag-ibig at lagging magmahalan
Punuin ng pagkalinga ang ating kapaligiran
Isipin ang kawang-gawa, magbahagi sa ating kapwa
Lalo na sa mga taong tanging mayroon la鈥檃ng ay wala.
Napakaraming pagsubok na sa daigdig ay dumating
Kalungkutan ang bumalot sa maligayang damdamin
Kapit-kamay tanggapin ang bawat naging kapalaran
Bigyang puwang sa puso na ang Pasko鈥檡 maipagdiwang.鈥澛� – From the poem of VP Lolita G. Herrera entitled 鈥淎ng Diwa ng Pasko鈥�
The lighting ceremony ended with a fireworks display that amazed the audience (Courtesy of Mr. Marlon Talamante https://www.facebook.com/reel/534966991436681/?s=single_unit.).
