Today our Chinese brothers and sisters are celebrating their Chinese New Year 2016, the Year of the Fire Monkey.  Chinese community and people in Davao City welcomed Year of the Fire Monkey with a New Year countdown celebration at Rizal Park in Downtown Davao City. The program started at 6 p.m. until midnight. It was a fun event witnessed by thousands of both Chinese and non-Chinese Davaoenos. There were also lots of Chinese lucky charms, prosperity symbols and tikoys sold as well. There is also the famous dragon and lion dance. No fireworks display also during and for the whole duration of Chinese New Year in Davao City because of the Anti Firecracker Ordinance. 

Happy Chinese New Year to All! May you all have a prosperous Year of the Fire Monkey. Kung Hei Fat Choi.
