Ormoc City is preparing to usher in the Christmas season with a breathtaking visual spectacle as a collection of illuminated outdoor installations — crafted by globally acclaimed Filipino designer Kenneth Cobonpue — makes its grand debut on 1 December 2025.

At the heart of the display is a monumental light sculpture inspired by nature’s fluid forms, rendered in Cobonpue’s unmistakable contemporary artistry. Its sweeping contours and radiant hues weave together a vibrant mix of color and texture, turning the city plaza into a glowing open-air gallery once night falls.

The launch event will treat attendees to live performances, a short program, and the ceremonial lighting that will officially open the installations to the public. A special concert headlined by the Sessionistas will add to the festivities, culminating in a fireworks show to illuminate the Ormoc skyline.
