Write down your wishes and hang them at the Wish- ing Tree in SM City Cebu and SM City Consolacio­n. By tradition, believers make offerings in order to gain from that nature spirit, saint or goddess fulfillmen­t of a wish.

Don’t miss the traditiona­l Lion Dance at 2 p.m. at the Northwing Atrium, and 3 p.m. in SM City Consolacio­n. There are a number of myths associated with the origin of this dance: one story relates that the dance originated as a celebratio­n in a village where a mythical monster called Nian was successful­ly driven away; another has it that Emperor Qianlong dreamt of an auspicious animal while on a tour of Southern China, and ordered that the image of the animal be recreated and used during festivals. However it is likely that the Southern Lion of Guangzhou is an adaptation of the Northern Lion to local myths and characteri­stics, perhaps during the Ming Dynasty.
