Dito lang Manila.”Dior Co, a BGC resident, noticed the screen while walking around with her 5-year-old daughter Elise.“Living here in BGC it’s always very vibrant. So to see that they’ve even added more lights and more entertainment is just amazing for us who live in the city,” she said.“Through this we can see the newest thing in BGC, the newest thing that can entertain us, the newest thing that we can try out.”Reyes added they hope the new attraction—which he said fits the district’s “innovative” and “cutting edge” image—would engage people to become more than spectators.“‘Pag nakita mo ang ganda ng content, and that’s why napakalaking value rin for advertisers, it’s really a very compelling way, and a new way to showcase ‘yong product, ‘yong services, to tell a story," he said.“And we think that if it’s done right, it really is going to be a ‘wow’ experience.”
