MANILA CITY, Philippines -- Christmas will be brighter in Metro Manila figuratively and literally as the Meralco Corp. once again launches the annual ‘Maliwanag ang Pasko’ campaign in Manila Cathedral.
Maliwanag ang Pasko is known to give recognition to the households and churches that embrace the tradition of lighting up every Christmas with their most creative display of lights and decors.
This year, the project is themed as “Campaign of Hope,” as Meralco hopes everyone to share hope and brightness in their communities by lighting up for Christmas.
The word “share” is emphasized since the winners for the best decoration will be given the chance to grant donations to orphans of their choice, allowing the winners to share their blessing to those in need.
Manuel Lopez, chairman and CEO of Meralco, said the company is working with local government units in helping spread the word on the project.
Manila City Mayor Alfredo Lim gave his full support on this project and his administration also plans to add additional lights in some streets for safer and brighter Christmas in Manila.
The chosen beneficiaries of the said project are charitable institution which primarily advocates children’s welfare.
Lopez admits that the children would always have a soft spot in his heart and though it may sound cliché, ‘they are still our future,’ Lopez added.
With this, the supporters of the said project foresee that this Christmas season will definitely be a bright one with everyone lighting up their homes and bring brighter light to the children.
Lighting up for brighter Christmas for everyone

I hope Meralco can bring down the price of electricity. That will truly brighten up everyone.
Homemade Christmas gifts are easier on the pocket, easier to assemble and often seem more sincere than many store-bought presents.
You are a very smart person!
Thank you for your help!
Once the festive season sets in we tend to splurge and involve in more splurging. Our hearts and our homes are the brightest during this season but I think the feeling of selflessness should be all around the whole year. It was a good idea to brighten the country during Christmas since traffic is heaviest during the season.
