00:00
And in barely a couple of hours, the year of the slimy, stealthy, and slithering serpent kicks off.
00:06
And in ground zero for this year's celebration of Kung He Fat Choy,
00:10
our Denise Osorio has set up a spot to observe the mirth, pageantry,
00:15
the sounds and sights of celebration in the heart of the Filipino-Chinese community in Manila.
00:20
Denise kindly got us up to speed with developments in Chinatown right now.
00:31
Yes, William, tonight we witness yet another popular tradition being celebrated
00:36
that's close to the hearts of the Filipino-Chinese community here in Binondo, Manila,
00:41
celebrating the Lunar New Year with prosperous wishes.
00:46
Known as the heart of Chinatown in the Philippines,
00:49
people have flocked to this area from all parts of the country
00:52
just to slither in the year of the wood snake.
00:56
As you can see just behind me, how the whole place is filled with celebratory air
01:00
and decorated with all sorts of red lanterns and lucky charms and colorful bright lights.
01:06
Many of the Catholic Filipino-Chinese community are attending mass at the Binondo Church,
01:12
a tradition that resonates with Filipino cultures of greeting the new year with solemn prayer.
01:17
On the other side of the area, some are praying with lit incense sticks,
01:20
whilst others are exchanging items that hopefully brings luck in the year of the snake.
01:25
And of course, there will be loud and bright fireworks when the clock strikes midnight
01:29
and thereafter as it is believed to ward away bad spirits and welcome good luck.
01:34
William, many roads are already closed even as I speak and well before midnight
01:38
given an estimated 1.5 million people are expected to descend on Binondo and celebrate here tonight.
01:44
As of 9pm, the Binondo-Intramuros bridges are shut down to vehicular traffic.
01:49
The same goes with both northbound and southbound lanes of Jones Bridge.
01:53
There's a whole stretch of Quentin Paredes Street from Padre Burgos Avenue
01:57
all the way to Dasmarina Street and Plaza Cervantes.
02:00
William, officials are encouraging people, families to come down here tonight
02:05
to celebrate along with the festivities but make sure to get a good grip of your children
02:10
as to not lose them in the crowd.
02:12
Also tonight, after the fireworks show, there will be a drone show which will add sparkle to the night.
02:18
That's the latest here in Binondo, Manila. Back to you, William.
02:21
Yes, thank you, Denise Osorio reporting live from Binondo.
