A Reason To Visit

The Ateneo de Manila University has launched Halina sa Sabsaban, Come to the Manger. Different sectors of the school created Filipino adaptations of the Christmas Manger using mostly recycled materials. I highly recommend bringing your family to see the different Christmas parks. I believe it is best to see them after 6pm when the Christmas lights are opened.

Here are some of the pictures of the walking tour. As the mangers are located on the main road, we parked near Gate 2.5, ate dinner along Katipunan, re-entered thru Gate 3 for the first manger.

My pictures don't do justice to the beauty of each 'masterpiece'. Kudos to everyone who put their time, creativity and effort in making each manger an enjoyable creation to see. 

I invite everyone to see the Ateneo Christmas Parks. My kids had a fun time. I'm sure other kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy them too.
