00:00 You don't need to fly to North Pole to see Santa Claus.
00:06 Welcome to Santa's.
00:08 Because Santa is only here in Antipolo City.
00:12 Welcome to Jardin de Miramar.
00:16 Where you can see the two-story houses that Santa displays.
00:22 This is Casa Santa Museum.
00:28 Ho ho ho!
00:29 [music]
00:32 Sometimes, it's only during the year of Christmas.
00:36 That's why some people decorate their houses
00:41 to make it look over the top.
00:44 In 1994, Edna started collecting
00:48 anything and everything about Santa
00:50 that she bought around the world.
00:53 It's always on her agenda to find and buy pieces
00:57 that she can add to her collection.
00:59 She has a very small Santa Claus figurine.
01:03 It's about 1.5 centimeters in size.
01:07 It's very small.
01:08 There's also a life-sized Santa.
01:11 And the most expensive piece in her collection
01:14 is a Santa Claus figurine made out of Swarovski crystals.
01:17 She bought it several years ago.
01:20 It's also small.
01:21 It costs P25,000.
01:23 To make Christmas feel like Christmas,
01:26 they also have nativity scenes.
01:28 [music]
01:30 Toy Factory Room.
01:32 Santa's elves prepare the gifts.
01:34 They make the toys for Santa to give away.
01:37 [music]
01:39 And the Grinch Room.
01:41 The collection wasn't really intentional.
01:44 It started with a gift from a friend.
01:46 A Christmas tree.
01:47 And from then on,
01:49 the collection grew bigger and bigger.
01:51 Last year, we were closed.
01:53 We couldn't accommodate the guests.
01:55 Especially the kids and families.
01:58 Because we also had to, of course,
01:59 protect the employees and potential visitors.
02:03 But this year,
02:04 it's like there's a Christmas miracle.
02:06 We're happy that now,
02:08 Casa Santa is open again to visitors,
02:10 and to families, to children
02:12 who want to experience the beauty of Casa Santa.
02:15 Now, we have to follow the safety protocols.
02:18 All visits are by appointment only.
02:20 Per tour, we limit the number of people to only 10 packs.
02:25 The advantage of that is
02:26 you can see the entire Casa Santa.
02:28 [music]
02:34 If you're betting that this Christmas,
02:36 there will be snow,
02:37 then go to the City of Pines.
02:40 Baguio City.
02:41 Baguio Christmas Village is open.
02:44 Good for the family, friends, or lovers.
02:47 Some of them are from Pabisaya or Mindanao.
02:50 Their theme this year is
02:52 "Colors of Christmas."
02:54 [music]
02:57 There are cottages that have Santa hats.
03:01 There are also Christmas decors here.
03:04 [music]
03:07 And in the middle of the village,
03:09 you'll see the giant fountain
03:11 that's almost as high as the house
03:13 that's colored by Christmas lights.
03:17 You can also take pictures here with Santa Claus.
03:20 Don't forget to go to the Wishing Wall.
03:23 [music]
03:26 And the Nativity Pageant.
03:28 The people who are celebrating are real people.
03:30 For our nativity characters,
03:32 we require them to wear masks.
03:34 The people who are celebrating are fresh graduates
03:38 who don't have a job yet.
03:40 So we can help them.
03:41 And of course,
03:42 the most anticipated by tourists,
03:45 the snow!
03:47 Every 15 minutes!
03:49 Feeling like you're in a Korean OK Drama.
03:52 [music]
03:55 It's a special mixture.
03:57 We've been using it for a long time.
03:59 So it's proven that
04:00 our artificial snow is safe.
04:03 [music]
04:05 We're still waking up.
04:06 Since we've already expanded our travel guidelines,
04:10 there are more tourists
04:12 who are climbing up the snow.
04:14 There are also more people
04:16 who are entering the Christmas Village.
04:18 [music]
04:23 At first glance,
04:24 you'd think it's just a simple Christmas tree.
04:27 But when you look closely,
04:30 [music]
04:37 the Christmas tree is decorated
04:39 with Janine's Christmas Village Collection.
04:42 There are kids who are buying ice cream,
04:45 tourists who are playing in the water,
04:47 and ice skating.
04:48 There's also a choir that's rolling
04:51 and people who are playing in the snow.
04:53 The theme this year is Janine's Christmas decor,
04:56 Carnival.
04:57 There are ferris wheels,
04:58 merry-go-rounds,
05:00 and people skating.
05:02 I just added more.
05:04 There are barns,
05:05 fishing villages,
05:07 food stalls,
05:07 and toy stores.
05:09 In the mini town,
05:10 I have restaurants,
05:12 hotels,
05:13 churches,
05:14 ferris wheels.
05:14 I bought it for around Php 9,000.
05:17 The displays in her Christmas Village
05:19 are in almost 200 pieces.
05:22 And the price of all of these
05:24 is Php 60,000.
05:27 For me, the collection is priceless.
05:28 But the other pieces in my collection
05:30 are already retired.
05:31 They won't be releasing
05:33 that kind of piece.
05:34 My family
05:35 is always happy to see them.
05:38 When I look at them,
05:39 I want to shrink
05:40 so I can enter the village.
05:43 Janine's Christmas wish?
05:44 I haven't been to the Christmas Village yet.
05:47 But I dream of going to a Christmas town
05:50 or Christmas Village
05:51 with a family and snow.
05:53 My tips to make a good Christmas decoration?
05:57 It doesn't have to be expensive.
05:59 You just have to show your artistic side
06:02 and innovate
06:03 so we can save more.
06:04 I asked the sellers
06:10 even though it's embarrassing,
06:12 "Do you have broken pieces?"
06:15 And then, they can fix it
06:17 so it can be used.
06:19 Even though the pandemic is still in the middle of the world,
06:25 no one can stop Christmas.
06:28 It's still going on.
06:31 Thank you so much, Kapuso!
