Thousands gathered along Session Road, Baguio City on Friday on the 9th year of Saint Louis University’s (SLU) lantern parade.

The colorful lanterns left the crowd in awe during the opening of the city’s monthlong Christmas celebration.

Andrew Macalma, SLU dean of student affairs, said majority of the lanterns was designed and hand-crafted by the students in accordance to this year’s theme, "One Heart, One Mission: The CICM Journey."

SLU, a Roman Catholic school established by the Congregation Immaculati Cordis Mariae (CICM) missionaries in 1911, is the largest university north of Manila.
