00:00 Road to Christmas it is!
00:02 Now that the Christmas lights have been lit up in Ayala Avenue in Makati,
00:07 does the public already feel the Christmas spirit?
00:10 In the live performance of Mark Salazar.
00:12 Mark!
00:15 Vicky, in front of the Stock Exchange in Ayala Avenue,
00:22 which is a symbol and center of commercialism,
00:25 the Christmas lights have been lit up.
00:28 But to the ordinary Filipinos who we asked,
00:32 is Christmas clear for them?
00:35 2, 1.
00:37 The Christmas season in Makati has officially begun.
00:41 The lights of the giant lanterns in Ayala Avenue in Makati are lit up.
00:48 A tradition that gives good luck
00:50 is led and supported by the city of Makati
00:53 and supported by the people of Ayala.
00:56 We are glad that we are recovering.
00:58 This is the second time we will be experiencing the lights post-pandemic.
01:04 So I hope the spirit of the season permeates the hearts of everybody.
01:11 Together, let us celebrate the recovery that was 2023
01:17 with a very Merry Christmas
01:19 and look forward to an even more prosperous 2024.
01:24 Every night, Ayala Avenue will remind us
01:27 that the Christmas rush is here
01:29 and that we need to prepare for Christmas.
01:33 I don't have a budget.
01:35 You don't have a budget?
01:36 Are you still waiting?
01:37 It's still early.
01:40 Usually, I give gifts to my family.
01:43 Do you have a budget?
01:44 No.
01:45 You don't have a budget?
01:46 No.
01:46 How about you?
01:47 Maybe now that I'm here in Manila, I can save money
01:52 and provide a better gift to my family when I go back to the province.
01:58 There were many trials, but many people were grateful to those who talked to us.
02:04 Are you excited to receive or give?
02:07 I will give now because I'm getting old.
02:12 Of course, it's stressful, but there are things that are cheaper to buy.
02:17 I'm budgeting. I'm finding ways.
02:20 Most of all, it's enough to be with my family.
02:23 Christmas is the reason why they came home.
02:26 I'm on my own.
02:27 I'm the only one at home.
02:30 So, when it's New Year, I'll be with my sister.
02:34 I don't have both parents.
02:37 I'll go to them.
02:38 You'll go home?
02:39 Yes.
02:40 It's more fun to be with my family.
02:44 It's my first time here in Manila.
02:46 I haven't experienced being away from my family.
02:50 But she can't deny that there's also what's called Christmas anxiety.
02:55 For others, Christmas around the corner is a pressure that can be stressful.
03:00 I'm not.
03:01 I'm with the group who are excited for Christmas.
03:04 In September, I'll be building a Christmas tree at home.
03:08 They say that I'm the one who's the spirit of Christmas in our house.
03:15 [ambient street sounds]
03:20 Vicky, Christmas is like that.
03:22 It's a mixture of different emotions.
03:24 Emotions can also pass.
03:27 So, let's try to make this Christmas a happy and hopeful one.
03:33 From Ayala Avenue, for GMA Integrated News,
03:37 I'm Mark Salazar, with 24 Hours.
03:41 That's right. Thank you, Mark Salazar.
03:45 Kapuso, we're with you 24 hours a day.
