Local governments in Metro Cebu will be putting up native Christmas lanterns or “parols” on major streets as part of preparations for the coming Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit.
The Philippine Information Agency 7 reported that businesses and households in Cebu City have been asked to beautify their surroundings and put up Christmas decors and lights. The move is meant to highlight to visitors the Christmas tradition in the Philippines, a country reputed to have the longest Yuletide celebration worldwide.
