Disneyland-inspired Christmas display opens in Bayambang
THE biggest animated Christmas display
by a local government unit unveiled on Nov. 15, 6:00 p.m. at the municipal
plaza of Bayambang.
“The ‘Paskong Disneyland sa Bayambang” showcases some of the most popular
Disney characters to make it the most-anticipated season of the year and most
memorable,” Rafael Saygo, senior supervising tourism operations officer, told the
KBP Forum.
The entire plaza was transformed into a Disneyland park, divided in three areas
for different themes for Toy Story, Frozen with artificial snow and another for
under the sea for The Little Mermaid.
“No need to go to Hong Kong, no need to
go abroad, we will make Bayambang as the happiest place in Northern Luzon
because we bring to you Disneyland in our town,” he said.
Every Friday night except for Nov. 22, people will also experience the famous
mini-Disneyland parade where people can mingle with Disney characters at the plaza
and have free photo-ops.
The Christmas animated display here, as in the three successive years, remains
the biggest in the country where the essence and the lessons of Christmas are
still there, Saygo said.
Meanwhile, Carmelo Carreon, director of
the St. Vincent Prayer Park of the town, recalled during the first Christmas
animated display here, it was focused on the Nativity; it was followed by
Paskong Pilipino and last year, it was themed as Paskong Bayambangueño.
“The more important message is the
spirit of Christmas, the value of Christ coming to earth is still there:
sharing and the fun,” Carreon said.
Meanwhile, Saygo said they are thankful
to sponsors led by Mayor Cezar Quiambao and his wife Niña, who helped
financially to produce the Disneyland sa Bayambang animated display.
For Bayambang, Christmas starts on Nov. 15 and celebration will end on Jan. 10.
