Makati City in the Philippines lit up the night sky on December 31 to welcome 2025 with an explosion of color, music, and cultural pride. Thousands packed the streets for the annual New Year's Eve bash, blending traditional Filipino dances, modern pop performances, and a jaw-dropping fireworks display that left everyone spellbound. 🌟
CGTN Stringer footage showed families laughing over street food, Gen Z crowds grooving to K-pop remixes, and elders sharing stories of past celebrations—proof that the Philippines knows how to throw a global party. 💃✨ Local artists took center stage with bamboo instrumentals, while neon-lit drones formed the number '2025' above the iconic Makati skyline.
'This energy is pure #PinoyPride,' said one attendee, snapping selfies for their 500K TikTok followers. From lechon feasts to midnight media noche rituals, the night was a vibrant reminder of how Asia’s festivals unite communities worldwide. 🇵🇭
