San Fernando, Pampanga is known as the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines" for its Giant Lantern Festival, where competing parols that once measured about 2 feet across have grown to roughly 20 feet in diameter, lit by thousands of bulbs. The century-old tradition has made the city's festival the most prominent lantern celebration in the country.
