Right after the first week of November, houses are fully illuminated with playful lights. (Indeed Pinoy Pasko is the longest in the world!) Hoisted up zigzagging the main alleys of Puerto Princesa especially are the colorful buntings signaling the city into the annual fiesta mode. Pista na Pasko pa! - the city slogan during my late teen years - was what my Cebuano boyhood pal referred to as Pis-kot na! (In english - Pest time !).
