Eton Properties Lights Up the Season with Kumukutikutitap Year V and Beyond Beats
Quezon City, Philippines (November 17, 2025) — Eton Properties lit up the Christmas season with Kumukutikutitap: Maningning na Paskong Pamilyang Pilipino, now on its fifth year at Eton Centris in Quezon City.
The annual celebration brought together barangays, schools, and community groups for the well-loved
Inter-Barangay Parol-Making Contest, a program launched in 2020 by Eton Properties and the Office of
the Vice Mayor of Quezon City to keep the Filipino Christmas spirit alive through creativity and recycled
materials.
This year featured 81 parols, each crafted from eco-friendly and repurposed items. The entries
highlighted the themes of hope, ingenuity, and bayanihan that continue to unite communities.
There were 20 parols who received special prizes at the event, while the top awards went to:
- • 1st Place: Barangay Payatas (Payatas B. Elementary School)
- • 2nd Place: Barangay Krus na Ligas
- • 3rd Place: Barangay Bagong Silangan
“Sustainability becomes real when people experience it, not when it’s written in a plan. Kumukutikutitap
shows how community, creativity, and responsible choices shape the way we celebrate, build, and care
for the spaces we share,” said Donna Salgado, AVP for Marketing, PR and Corporate Communications;
Customer Experience Lead; and Sustainability and ESG Officer of Eton Properties.
Through its Beyond Green Initiative, Eton promotes responsible living, community partnerships, and the
creative use of recycled and upcycled materials across its developments, including Eton Centris.
Eton Properties President and CEO Kyle C. Tan underscored the growth of the initiative and the value of
collaboration.
“It is a pleasure to welcome you all to the fifth year of our Christmas celebration here at Eton Centris, in
partnership with the Office of the Vice Mayor of Quezon City,” Tan said. “Over the years, this event has
become a gathering that brings together Eton Properties, the Quezon City Government, our partners, and our community to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and the spirit of coming together.”
Tan expressed appreciation to Vice Mayor Gian Sotto and to the Local Government Units of Quezon City
for their continued support. He also acknowledged Eton’s sister companies under the LT Group,
especially Tanduay, whose recycled barrel Christmas tree once again served as the event’s symbolic
centerpiece.
“Eton Centris has always been a place where people gather, connect, and create memories. This
celebration keeps that sense of community alive, strengthened by shared purpose and responsible
creativity,” Tan added.
Ar. Adrian Chua, COO of Eton Properties meanwhile said: “Kumukutikutitap has been more than a
holiday event. It is a shared tradition that brings together Eton Properties, the Quezon City
Government, and our community here at Eton Centris to celebrate creativity and the Filipino spirit of
togetherness. At Eton, we carry that same vision throughout our developments. Through our Beyond
Green program, we continue to make sustainability part of how we build communities and support
partnerships.”
Following the awarding ceremonies, the festivities continued with Beyond Beats, a musical showcase
presented with Tanduay. Performances by Silent Sanctuary, Moonstar88, Angela Ken, Kenan, Kiss N Tell,
and Better Days brought families and guests together through familiar OPM soundtracks of the season.
The concert highlighted how music and community can reinforce the message of creative, meaningful,
and mindful celebrations.
As the lanterns glowed and the performances filled the night, Kumukutikutitap Year V closed as a
celebration of Filipino artistry, community spirit, and a Christmas season grounded in shared
responsibility and hope.
