Intramuros is glowing once again as Meralco officially switched on its Liwanag Park at Plaza Roma, ushering in the holiday season with dazzling lights and sustainable displays.
For the second year in a row, Meralco—through its social responsibility arm One Meralco Foundation (OMF) and in partnership with the Intramuros Administration—opened the festive attraction on November 26, 2025.
Leading the ceremonial lighting were OMF President Jeffrey Tarayao, Intramuros Administrator Atty. Joan Padilla, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, Meralco Senior Vice President Ferdinand Geluz, and Senior Vice President Atty. Arnel Paciano Casanova.
Visitors can expect a mix of creativity, heritage, and sustainability. The centerpiece is a 20-foot Christmas tree crafted from recycled meter covers and steel crossarms, lit up with energy-efficient LED bulbs. Another standout feature is a charming replica of a Meralco tranvia, built from recycled wood as a nod to Meralco’s roots and its historical connection to the famed walls of Intramuros.
The Meralco Liwanag Park is open daily until January 4, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., giving families, tourists, and heritage lovers plenty of time to enjoy the lights in Manila’s historic walled city.
