ANGELES CITY -- With just 47 days before Christmas, officials of Robinsons Angeles over the weekend lighted up its giant Christmas tree located at the mall facade to usher in the Yuletide season.

The annual tradition of lighting up the 14-foot Christmas tree with glittery decors and sparkling lights kicked-off the festive activities lined-up by the mall management to the delight of its loyal shoppers.

“We are jump-starting the holiday season here in Robinsons Angeles with a series of activities anchored with our mall mission that is to give joy and love to our customers,” said Robinsons Land Corporation Central Luzon Manager Jodee Paulette Arroyo.

Colorful and glittery decorations, huge balls and long wreaths and ribbons installed around the mall also added to the merry and joyful Christmas vibes.

And since it is the season of giving, Robinsons Angeles also continued its annual activity of treating orphaned children from Tuloy Foundation Pampanga.

Arroyo said that around 30 children were treated to an afternoon of fun in an amusement park and fastfood restaurant. The beneficiaries also received early Christmas packs from Robinsons Angeles just before the lighting ceremony.

“The gift-giving to less fortunate children is an annual tradition of Robinsons Land, not only here in Angeles or Pampanga but all over the country. This is Robinsons’ way of giving to our host communities,” she said.

To complete the festive mood, Robinsons Angeles invited various artists of Ivory Records to serenade the mall goers and shoppers with some lively and soulful music.

The mini-concert was highlighted by the performance of Kapampangan artist Jonas David who sang his newest single “Mamasku Ta Pampanga.”

The hit single, which is now available in digital stores Spotify and Apple Music, showcases the beauty and uniqueness of celebrating Christmas in Pampanga which amazed the audience in Robinsons Angeles.

“We had a tie-up with Ivory Music family and we were happy to provide a spotlight for very talented artists, especially our very own Jonas David who uses his music to promote the Kapampangan culture and tradition,” Arroyo noted.

She noted that Robinsons Angeles shares the same vision and goal with David in urging Kapampangans and non-Kapampangans as well to go back and visit Pampanga and experience its unique celebration of the yuletide season.
