In this photo by Bullit Marquez, an orangutan named "Pacquiao" and a zoo owner wear Santa costumes while posing for pictures in the Philippine capital, Manila. The orangutan is one of the main attractions in Manny Tangco's private animal collection in Manila's suburb of Malabon, which also includes the native Philippine Brown Deer, in the background. Tangco's message this holiday season is awareness about feelings of animals, especially when revelers explode firecrackers for the raucous New Year celebrations. Some cities in the Philippines have banned firecrackers due to high number of injuries.
