The historic Plaza Independencia in Cebu City shines in vivid colors this yuletide season, with a towering Christmas tree as the main attraction, ready to greet visitors coming in and out of the Queen City.
The holiday display is the result of a collaboration between the Local Government Unit of Cebu City, Robinsons Land Corporation, and NUSTAR Resort Cebu’s The Mall. This is their fourth year to do so.
This glistening masterpiece features elements of the locality’s beloved culture, including The Magellan’s Cross—paying tribute to Cebu as the cradle of Christianity—alongside guitars, stars, and snowflakes, symbolizing the region’s festive spirit.

“There will always be challenging times [and] turbulence that come in our way, but we are with the Cebu City Government and we are all in this together. They have our support and they have our commitment. And [the] tree is a manifestation of that support and celebration as one community,” shares May Adolfo, General Manager of NUSTAR Resort Cebu’s The Mall and Director for External Affairs in the Visayas for Robinsons Land Corporation, touching the resilience inspired by the devastation of Typhoon Odette, which toppled their two-week-old tree in 2021.
