He and his wife rode the bus from Sorsogon to Quezon City to spend Christmas with their eldest and undergo checkup for his kidney ailment.Officemates Margie Refugia and May Flor Gordo wanted a change in scenery so they went to the park since they’ve been to Luneta a couple of times already.“Kasi kokonti ang tao dito. Para maano lang ng nature,” Refugia said. “DI ba masyadong maano sa trabaho, busy, stressed. Para naman ma-unwind.”Most parkgoers, like the family of overseas Filipino worker Rosanna Tabian, had a picnic. Tabian has been working as a domestic helper in Kuwait for four years, and was able to come home this year.“Dito po sa Pilipinas sobrang saya yung Pasko kasi makakasama mo yung mga kapatid mo, family mo, mga anak mo. Kapag sa Kuwait po, wala po talagang Christmas, trabaho po talaga,” Tabian said.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/12/24/sws-nearly-7-in-10-filipinos-expect-a-happy-christmas-1159">SWS: Nearly 7 in 10 Filipinos expect a happy Christmas</a></div>The park is open today until midnight.
