SUBSCRIBEChristmas displays at Policarpio St.
Policarpio St. in Mandaluyong City located near the intersection of Boni Avenue and the street going to Acacia Lane is definitely a must go to place for the holidays. The Christmas displays and spectacular lights that deck the houses are just awesome. Not only were the people and other visitors merry with such grand spectacles, Meralco, the electric company was happier.
The night tiangge (market/bazaar) is now a fixture of the street’s holiday attractions. This is an opportunity for the subdivision and maybe the home owners considering the very high electric bills.

The House of Santa Claus is another attraction. A houseful of lights and holiday decors with a multitude displays of Santas of different sizes. Here, visitors pose on a life size version.
A rich nativity scene with moving figures in one house, while another, the main attraction, is a house that’s blanketed with thousands of christmas lights from the roof down to the trees and grasses in the garden! A very opulent display that dazzle the eyes but hard on the owner’s pocket. In an interview in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the owner spent around P75,000 (around $1,700) in electric bills alone. This time, they made it a point to cut costs and target around P35,000.
