Not Just Balisong: Batangas City's Holiday Attraction

Shepherds and wise meen seek Jesus. 
I was fortunate to spend the holidays in Batangas City, the capital of Batangas province in Luzon, Philippines. Batangas, which is well-known for its Kapeng Barako (Liberica coffee) and balisong (fan knives), draws a lot of visitors this holiday season because of its animated show on the birth of Jesus Christ. The life-sized nativity scene is set in front of the Batangas City Hall's Administration building, just across Plaza Mabini. It narrates the events leading to the Savior's birth and the wise men's search for Jesus.
