Bring a sparkle of tradition and innovation to your holiday celebrations with the Nebulae Parul – the latest in Christmas lantern craftsmanship by Balantuk Enterprises®.
Designed and manufactured in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, the “Christmas Capital of the Philippines,” these stunning lanterns combine the timeless beauty of the classic parul Fernandino with modern innovation, creating a piece that’s as functional as it is festive.
Founded by Alvin Garcia and spearheaded in marketing by his son Raji Garcia, Nebulae Parul exemplifies a family’s shared vision for reimagining the Filipino holiday tradition.
What started with Alvin’s passion for lantern-making evolved into an industry-leading, export-quality product.
“We provide export-quality lanterns made with durable, cost-effective, and energy-saving materials, and we ship worldwide to spread the light and jubilant spirit of the Fernandino Christmas,” shared Raji, who now heads marketing and distribution for Nebulae paruls.
A New Generation of Lanterns
Launched in 2023, the Nebulae Parul series is the epitome of modern craftsmanship, infused with the Christmas spirit. Crafted from premium polypropylene plastic, these lanterns are lightweight, shock-proof, and durable, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
The 24-inch lantern comes equipped with energy-efficient, 15W programmable LED bulbs, which cast a warm, festive glow. Designed with international appeal, the lanterns are available in both 110V and 220V options to accommodate global customers.
Each piece in the Nebulae series is available in four exclusive designs:Sam,Rafa, Elle, and Xhan. These designs pay homage to the star shapes and intricate patterns of traditional Filipino parol while incorporating modern programmable LED modules that create mesmerizing, twinkling effects.
In addition, the lanterns feature interchangeable design covers, allowing customers to adapt the style to suit their space and taste.
Built to Last, Bound to Share
The Nebulae lanterns are built with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. Made from hard, sustainable plastic, each piece is meticulously designed to be easy to assemble, durable, and shock-resistant—making it a thoughtful and sustainable addition to holiday décor.
With Balantuk Enterprises’ commitment to quality, each Nebulae lantern undergoes strict manufacturing standards, ensuring it meets export quality for durability and performance.
The Garcias’ vision doesn’t stop at quality lanterns; it extends to the joy of sharing Filipino heritage across the world.
“We ship worldwide to spread the light and jubilant spirit of the Fernandino Christmas,” said Raji, encouraging customers at home and abroad to embrace the magic of the Nebulae lantern.
As demand grows, Balantuk Enterprises plans to introduce new size options, making it easier for homes of all sizes to enjoy these luminous symbols of holiday cheer.
