BGC Lights up High Street with Wizardy Wonder

BGC enchantingly welcomes the holiday season with a Harry Potter-themed spectacle

BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY – The wonder of storybooks comes in where the ordinary slips away. As the crowd gathers in excitement at the heart of the district, Bonifacio Global City writes in a night of delight at the Harry Potter-themed Christmas tree lighting, accompanied by the stellar choruses from Gian Magdangal and Karylle, ending with a skyline decorated in sparks.

Under the glow of the night, an excited crowd gathers along High Street, as the Hogwarts Express arrives. The scene was decorated in lights, house banners dressed overhead, and a giant Christmas tree peeking over brick walls, lighting up much more than the show but also the smiles on the faces of guests as the evening festivities unfolded.

Amidst the chatter, the UST Chorale set the tone for the whimsical evening, before singers Gian Magdangal and Karylle joined in with songs such as “Tuloy Na Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko” and “This Christmas” to brew enchantment in between each of the layered melodies.

With radiating anticipation, all eyes were set to the stage where Hon. Congressman Jorge Daniel S. Bocobo, Taguig City, 2nd District and Hon. Mayor Lani Cayetano were joined by FBDC’s Enrique Manuel Jr., Ms. Lourdes R. Reyes, Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Jaime Francisco T. Galvez, Executive Director of BGCEA. to lead the cue and reveal the magic. When the final second ticks, the brick walls open up to unveil the grand Harry Potter-themed Christmas tree that was decorated in purple and gold, wrapped in its own train track, and topped with a massive sorting hat. A page-turner into the world of magic.

In its own perfect storybook endings, BGC tied the bow to a sparkling night worth remembering, and painted the sky in showers of color with a gorgeous firework display. At that moment, as the cheer rippled through each one with their head tilted back, the city shared in one feeling that captured the magic of the holiday season: joy that is made more special as it is spent together.
