Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the first and only
world class theme park in
the Philippines, highlights
the Filipino Christmas tradition through the launch
of EK’s Giant Parol at the
Agila Grounds last November 26, Sunday.
According to EK
President and Chairman
Mario Mamon, EK is committed to showcase the
Filipino Christmas tradition
of parols and local festive
decorations to bring nostalgia during the holiday
season. “We are very excited to share with you the
biggest parol in the Philippines!” It is our aspiration
to provide a destination
where families can create
their enchanted Christmas
stories,” Mr. Mamon further explained.
EK tapped renowned lantern make
from Pampanga, Eric Bondoc Quiwa, in the
creation of the 22-foot parol installed at the
Agila Grounds. This is the centerpiece of the
theme park’s holiday events along with 100
parols around the park.
EK’s Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Cynthia R. Mamon shared that the making
of the biggest parol is a three-week labor of
love: from conceptualization and design, up
to framing, welding, partitioning, installing the
electrical components, then lastly, finishing.
It is illuminated by 1,700 LED lights and will
have a daily show of lights every night at the
park.
EK is also set to showcase their
homegrown talents through their Christmas
shows such as Christmas At The Kingdom
(EK Story), Brooklyn Diaries: Oh Paskong
Maligaya (OPM) and Eldar’s Christmas Parade featuring its storybook characters to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
The park is now open six times a
week from Tuesday to Sunday, 11AM to
8PM. Starting December 18, the theme park
will also open its gates everyday, from 11AM
to 8PM with extended hours on selected special holidays until January 7, 2024.
