TAGUM’S GIANT CHRISTMAS TREE
Tallest Christmas tree in the Philippines comes to life in Tagum City with a height of 182 feet.
TAGUM’S CHRISTMAS TREE IS BEDECKED WITH
TAGUM CITY — Fun. Vibrant. Colorful.
These are the words that best describe this year’s design of the Giant Christmas Tree of the City of Tagum, which the local government tagged as the tallest Christmas Tree in the Philippines with a towering height of 182 feet.
Tagumenyos flocked to the City Hall Grounds Sunday evening, November 18, 2018, to witness the annual lighting spectacle staged by the City Government of Tagum which officially kicked off its monthlong Paskuhan sa Tagum festivities.
The city’s Christmas icon is bedecked with 232,400 rice bulbs and rope lights and other decors pertaining to the recognitions harvested by the city, and some icons of the mega infrastructure projects of the LGU this year.
Ten layers constitute this Christmas tree, representing the developmental thrusts of the local government dubbed as Eagle Wings. A 12-foot giant star sits atop this tree, surrounded by 23 stars in reference to the 23 barangays of Tagum.
In his message, Mayor Allan L. Rellon said the city has plenty of reasons to be thankful for, on top of the successes of the individual families of Tagumenyos.
Most Rev. Bishop Medil Aseo of the Diocese of Tagum, who led the blessing ceremony of the city’s holiday icon, gave emphasis on the importance of the birth of Jesus Christ, as symbolized by the lights of the giant structure. /
