MANILA, Philippines – A shopping mall in Quezon City is using lights and sounds to bring cheer to their customers amid such trying times, in anticipation of the holiday season.

TriNoma, an Ayala-owned mall along Edsa, launched on Saturday its second annual Merry Musical Lights Show with the theme “Magical Circus.”

“This year’s display of lights is expected to be more fun and lively with color-changing spheres and sparkling lights scattered around the garden restaurants,” TriNoma general manager Anthony Sablan said.

The show, which plays for eight minutes every 7 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m. until January 5, 2014, features Filipino and foreign Christmas songs set to a dazzling light display.

Some recognizable tunes include “Joy to the World,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Noche Buena” and “Mano Po, Ninong.”
