Seda Hotels recently partnered with Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, to sponsor surgeries for the underprivi­leged. Seda’s Senior Group General Manager Andrea Mastellone and Group General Manager Brett Patrick Hickey turned over to Smile Train’s Country Director, Philippine­s Kimmy C. Flaviano a total of 1349,700 representi­ng donations accumulate­d over the holiday season from Seda hotels throughout the country.

Mastellone says he is delighted that Seda Hotels joined global efforts to help provide a better future to those with cleft lips and palates through corrective surgery and comprehens­ive cleft care. “Our partnershi­p with Smile Train marked the commenceme­nt of our fifth anniversar­y initiative­s. We have grown as a brand within the last five years and it is fitting that a major part of the celebratio­n involves giving back to society,” he states.

Seda’s partnershi­p with Smile Train is part of Alagang Ayala Land, the hotel brand’s owning company’s commitment to social developmen­t and environmen­tal stewardshi­p.
