Team's Message:
"The Philippines is famed for its unique way of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas Eve. One would travel a thousand miles to discern the magnificent traditions of Pinoy Christmas Celebration. One of which is Caroling that depicts the beauty of human relation and the deep thought, "No one is a stranger on Christmas Eve, but brothers by heart and soul." If this brotherly affection wouldn't be realized, not all the snow in Alaska would make Christmas white. Next are the lights, the wonderful and pefect Christmas lights that brighten up the dark nights of Butuan as well as the heart of each Butuanon. The sound of the Butuanon Traders along the sidewalk that rush into one's ear harmoniously enlightens the soul. These evidences are enough to prove the presence of Christmas in Butuan's Atmosphere."
