Poll: Festival of Lights

Well, this is not about a literal Festival of Lights. It is just that the Christmas season brings out the cheer in most people, including business establishments, and they usually put up Christmas lights on different colors and formations to light up their business spaces.

My hubby went around and clicked on most interesting displays, but we haven’t gotten to the more posh residential areas. For now, I will share some photos with you.

But we noticed that there are not too many stores now who put up Christmas lights, as compared to years past. Why do you think so? Please share your answer here and I will publish your choice, your name, and your link. Okay? So I hope you leave comments here.

A lot of businesses didn’t put up Christmas lights display this year because:

a. Prices of Christmas lights have gone up – 0 –

b. Even if they can afford the lights, electricity rates have gone up – 1 – Virtual Writer,

c. For austerity measures – 0 -

d. All of the Above – 7 – Meili_Lo, Pilgrim, Ms. Donna, Anne Fallarme, Ria Stevenson, Kringle, Lizzie,

This brightly-lit building is the Central Negros Electric Cooperative or CENECO. Wonder why we get brown-outs almost everyday?

Santa Cops in the Philippines

In the spirit of the Christmas season, all posts will be related to Christmas. And this time, it is about the Santa Cops of the Philippines.

Members of the NCRPO have taken to the streets in their campaign against criminality during the Christmas season. It has been established that crime rates increase during the season, especially petty thefts.

To thwart the criminal elements from doing their trade, the cops have started the Santa Cops campaign–to increase police visibility and deter crimes in the streets and other crowded areas. But they decided on the Santa Cops theme in order to go with the spirit of the season.

But aside from thwarting criminal activity, the Santa Cops also help people, such as helping this old lady cross the street. They also give out candies to children. And sometimes, those in complete Santa costume, take time out to have a picture taking with interested kids.

People say that they feel safe with so many cops around. But let us all continue to pray for ours and our family’s safety. ONLY GOD can completely protect us all our lives.
