BAGUIO
CITY – Mayor Mauricio Domogan said reports that the bulk of the city
government’s yuletide fund is intended for a Christmas tree here were not
accurate.
“That’s
not true, we are working on a limited budget for this year and we have
allocated P1 million for the Christmas celebrations,” he said.
Domogan
added the reported P600,000 was not intended for the Christmas tree alone but
for the entire Christmas lights and decorations which will be placed in
strategic locations in the city.
“Being
the most visited place for its cool climate especially during the yuletide
season, it is also fitting that we decorate our city so everyone can feel the
spirit of the season,” Domogan said. “The lights and decorations purchased
during the previous season will also be re-used to save on expenses.”

a giant Christmas tree adorned with lights is now being constructed atop
