MANILA, Philippines – With the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic and challenges this year, Filipinos are hoping for a better and brighter 2021. We will rise together.
Most of us expect of a quiet welcome of the new year due to safety protocols and strict rules on firecrackers and fireworks displays but hey, there are lots of concerts and events you can join or watch online.
Tonight, several establishments and companies will showcase their grand welcome to 2021 and the Year of Metal Ox.
Ring in the new year with the best and meaningful celebration — bountiful banquet, music and loud revelry in epic proportions to usher in a new year.
