Maine in COD’s ‘homecoming’

Maine Mendoza and Baeby Baste are joining the grand “homecoming” of the well-loved Christmas on Display (COD) attraction, which returns to Araneta Center at the Times Square Food Park at 5 p.m. today.

Created by businessman Alex Rosario Sr. in 1957, COD transferred to Araneta Center in 1966 and has since become a prominent holiday attraction in Cubao until the Manila C.O.D. Department Store ceased operations in 2002.

With bright lights, music and more than 40 moving mannequins, it will touch on Araneta Center’s theme “Christmas is Home.”

COD will have 15-minute shows from 6 to 10:30 p.m. on Sundays to Thursdays, and from 6 to 11:30 p.m. on Fridays to Saturdays until Jan. 6.
