The Curious Case of the Missing Muntinlupa Lantern Lights

We thought “How the Grinch who stole Christmas” was just a movie. Apparently, in Muntinlupa, it is not.

Netizen Alvin Tiamzon reached out to us over the weekend disgusted and disappointed about people who stole the light bulbs on Muntinlupa City government-placed Christmas lanterns.

“These Christmas lanterns along Centennial Avenue were brightly lit at night… until people started stealing the light bulbs 😤😡 (and this area is just beside the PNP Muntinlupa HQ),” Tiamzon sadly expressed in a Facebook post.

It can be clearly seen from the photos that the Christmas lanterns were punctured and the light bulbs stolen.

So much for the spirit of Christmas.

He then called on the City Hall to find all means necessary to find out who the perpetrators are (maybe check CCTVs in the area).

C’mon, people. They’re Christmas lanterns for crying out loud.
