GMA-7 will hold its annual year-end countdown at the SM Mall of Asia Dec. 31. A short fireworks display will kick off the party at 11 p.m., and a 15-minute fireworks show will happen at the stroke of midnight. Makati City, which usually holds a city government-sponsored fireworks display, will not have one this year due to the gas leak in Barangay Bangkal in Makati.
