Time is really changing. I thought Christmas season ends on the celebration of the Three Kings, usually the first Sunday of the year. In our Barangay, Christmas is extended. As of today, February 24, all the Christmas lanterns are still on the lamp posts. (See photos!)
A week ago, our Barangay councilmen started taking out the Christmas lights. I expected that everything related to the celebration of the Yuletide season will be taken down. But, to my surprise, the Christmas lanterns were all still hanging as is on the same spot where they are during Christmas 2008.
Is this a gimmick? Or, is this what we called "katamaran"? Para nga naman wag na ikabit ulit sa Christmas 2009 eh di wag ng alisin. Buti sana kung me ilaw ung mga lantern, makakatulong para maliwanag sa gabi, Problem is, the lights of the Christmas lantern is not even working kaso putol ang kuryente. Ninakaw nung isang taon!
So this means, we will just let those lanterns deteriorate day in day out. Come stormy season I am sure most of them will be damaged! Then what! Buy a new one? And where will the budget come from...from the politicians who will be vying for an election? Galing ng Gimik!!
