Bilyonaryo Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala could very well be Makati’s very own Father Christmas.
The chairman of the Ayala Group is proud to transform Ayala Avenue into an Instagrammable spot every Yuletide season with festive lights installed along the road starting November.
“Ayala Land, Inc. has lighted up Ayala Avenue with Christmas tidings and cheers –a yearly tradition that started back in the 1960’s,” Zobel de Ayala said in a Facebook post, sharing a photo of the stunning decor at the heart of the business district.
Complementing the Christmas lights along Ayala Avenue is the Festival of Lights at the Ayala Triangle Gardens, which has been running for 15 years.
Ayala Avenue will be the venue of the New Year’s countdown that will be hosted by the local government of Makati for the first time since 1999.
