Borongan City, Eastern Samar โ The Provincial Capitol of Eastern Samar shimmered with holiday cheer as officials and residents gathered for the ceremonial lighting of an underwater-themed Giant Christmas Tree, coinciding with the grand launch of the Christmas Bazaar, on Wednesday night, December 17, 2025
The festive event transformed the Capitol grounds into a vibrant holiday destination, drawing families, employees, and visitors from across the province. Designed with an underwater motif, the towering Christmas tree featured sea-inspired ornaments, glowing corals, colorful fish figures, and twinkling lightsโcelebrating Eastern Samarโs rich marine life while symbolizing hope, resilience, and unity.
The lighting ceremony was led by Eastern Samar Gov. RV Evardone, together with former governor Ben P. Evardone, Board Member PJ Evardone, provincial government employees and local residents, which was met with cheers and applause as the tree illuminated the night sky.
Alongside the tree lighting, the Christmas Bazaar opened its stalls, offering a variety of local products, food delicacies, handcrafted items, and gift ideas. The bazaar aims to support local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and artisans by providing them a platform to showcase and sell their products throughout the holiday season.
The underwater-themed Giant Christmas Tree and the Christmas Bazaar will remain open to the public in the coming weeks, inviting everyone to experience the festive spirit at the Eastern Samar Provincial Capitol this holiday season. (NAF/RVFM News)
