LIST: Ayala Malls Spark Pinoy Holiday Magic with a Slew of Special Christmas Activities

This holiday season, Ayala Malls is once again solidifying its place as the ultimate holiday destination with the return of the much-anticipated Holiday Trail for its second edition. The lifestyle hub officially ushered in Christmas 2024—the season that begins earlier in the Philippines with the arrival of “ber” months—by hosting a memorable Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Glorietta Activity Center.

Simultaneously, giant Christmas trees across 30 Ayala Malls nationwide illuminated the night sky, amplifying the festive mood and spreading Christmas cheer across the country.

A Christmas Celebration Close to Home: Filipino Traditions and Nostalgia

Four iconic Ayala Malls led the charge in celebrating the holidays. With the theme Christmas in My Home, this year’s festivities honor Filipino traditions and evoke nostalgia, beautifully captured in vibrant holiday illustrations by renowned artist Robert Labayen. At Ayala Malls Circuit, Labayen’s artwork brings the spirit of Filipino Christmas to life, while One Ayala adds a heartwarming touch with the Nostalgia Train. Greenbelt delights guests with a contemporary Filipino Christmas Salu-Salo, accompanied by the soulful Filipino carols performed by Jed Madela.

The Holiday Trail reached its grand finale at Glorietta, marked by the launch of Ayala Malls’ holiday anthem, “Christmas in my Home,” beautifully performed by the talented Mix Fenix. The evening’s celebrations soared to new heights with a breathtaking performance by popstar royalty Sarah Geronimo, leaving the audience in awe and capping off the night with unforgettable joy.

Commuter's Guide to Modern Jeepney Routes, Fares in Metro Manila

With the easing of Covid quarantine measures in Metro Manila, the government reopens a number of jeepney routes to try to get life in the metropolis back to something like normal. But for the time being, only the modern public utility vehicles or the "modern jeepneys," as we call them, will be allowed. They will serve areas in Metro Manila that are under general community quarantine (GCQ) as the transition into the “new normal” continues. Below are the routes of modern jeepneys allowed to travel based on the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG). Cashless fare payment systems are implemented and only 50% of total passenger capacity can be used to comply with social distancing measures.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u
