Three sides of the Triangle: Sights, sounds & scrumptious food
By: Bettina
Who doesn’t love seeing all the wonderful lights and parols hanging on trees every time it’s Christmas?
Tell me, is there really anyone who wouldn’t indulge in delicious food every time it’s December –and would use ‘the holidays’ as an excuse for gaining all that weight that they’re already planning to lose as part of their New Year’s resolution?
I don’t think you’ll be able to name anyone.
Because young or old, I don’t think there is anyone who won’t enjoy the lights and sounds show as well as all the newly opened restaurants this holiday season at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati.
Be enlightened and amused
It took 250,000 LED bulbs, 16 intelligent lights, eight laser lights plus a couple of ColorBlast and ColorReach PowerCore lights to create Ayala Land’s “Symphony of Parols” Lights and Sounds show for visitors of the Ayala Triangle Gardens to enjoy.
Remarkably, the use of LED lights has led to 74 percent power reduction compared to before (from 87,000 watts to 23,000 watts), giving us all more reason to celebrate and fully enjoy the show this year.
“This year’s show has impressive light spectacles highlighting more colors,” explains multi-awarded light designer Voltaire de Jesus.
“The light show is complemented by the work of renowned sound engineer Jethro Joaquin whose musical score is fun and contemporary, with a distinctive theatrical feel,” he adds.
Unconsciously you’ll just hear yourself say “wow” as the show progresses because it’s just simply an impressive sight to behold. With only the latest technology used plus a touch of artistic flair, the “Symphony of Parols” Lights and Sounds show is definitely a must-see for family and friends to visit together this season.

More reasons to make every day of December feel like Christmas are all the new and distinctively chosen restaurants that you can find at the Ayala Triangle Gardens.
The 12 restaurants that have just recently opened at the Gardens showcase a unique mix of restaurant concepts all in an al fresco dining format.

My semi-favorite place. Although I wish it would be less crowded so I can enjoy a good book while enjoying my Banapple or something...pero ASA :))
