Christmas is definitely more festive here in the Philippines. One of the things I'm most excited when December starts is looking for gifts for my much awaited reunion with my family, come Christmas Day. And I think that is where the spirit of the holidays begin - from the love of your family.
And just like Lancaster New City, the flagship project of property developer PRO-FRIENDS, they aim to bring families closer in the jolliest of seasons. Last November 25, a stunning Christmas light show and a concert featuring the well-loved OPM band Rocksteddy, started the many activities that you can share with your loved ones.
Lancaster New City is a thriving township that is home to families in Kawit, Imus, and General Trias in Cavite. This year, they are celebrating their 10th anniversary by continuing its three-year Christmas tradition spanning the whole holiday season, promising a memorable bonding experience for families of homeowners and guests alike.
Starting Nov. 25 to Dec. 26, the Christmas Light Show is slated every Saturday and Sunday at the Lancaster New City. Visitors will get to witness dazzling display of laser and stop-motion lights, a Santa’s Workshop exhibition, and Christmas medleys for the enjoyment of kids and kids-at-heart. The Dekada Food Bazaar will also be open on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 4 p.m. until midnight to let every family have a scrumptious dinner while watching the light show at the Central Greens.
On Dec. 9, there will be a grand reveal of the 20-foot family sculpture called “Perpetuity” created by award-winning Filipino artist Merlito Gepte. The artist is known for his classical realist style with a touch of contemporary inspiration. “Perpetuity” is the symbol for the happy, united, and active family that Lancaster New City is home to.
Families are then invited to come together at the Open Air Cinema in Central Greens for some fun Christmas-themed games and a free film showing of Star Cinema blockbusters “Love You to the Stars and Back” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
If you're a music lover, then you're in for a treat this December 16 as Imago, Six Cycle Mind, Banda ni Keggy, Stellar, and Grace Note holds a special Christmas concert at The Square, Lancaster New City’s own commercial establishment located in Downtown Lancaster where the township’s busy business and retail district is found.
Since no Filipino Christmas is complete without Simbang Gabi, Lancaster New City will be concluding its month-long lineup of holiday events with Simbang Gabi at the uniquely-structured Parish of the Holy Family from Dec. 16-24 at 4:00 a.m., with anticipated masses on Dec. 15-23, 7:00 p.m.
The community of Lancaster New City continues to flourish, and it may very well be attributed to its warm environment and ability to keep in step with the times. The 1,600-hectare mixed-use development houses more than just a residential area, a mall, and a church. It also has a bustling IT park called the Suntech iPark in Downtown Lancaster. This establishment prides itself in being the first IT park accredited by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), proving its global competence as an ecologically sustainable business environment.
Not to mention the many conveniences offered by the township, namely, its own Transport Hub that gives residents easy access to buses and shuttles for an easy commute around the development. Also conveniently located inside Lancaster New City is St. Edward Integrated School (SEIS), a private school for students from kindergarten to high school. There is also the Leighton Hall Clubhouse with its own outdoor pool and ballroom for various events.
With these different activities, you are sure to bond with your family well, while sharing things that you are most passionate about.
