Resorts World Manila recognized by regional CSR body

RESORTS World Manila (RWM) recently received the Asia Responsible Enterprise Award (AREA) for Social Empowerment for its Love Dish Project during the 2018 International CSR Summit held at the Marriott Grand Ballroom.

The Love Dish Project was one of RWM’s CSR initiatives for 2017. By putting together Filipinos’ love for food, celebrities, and charity, the project gave RWM members and guests the opportunity to experience the culinary expertise of select celebrity chefs while allowing them to contribute to the greater community.

Proceeds of every order from the LOVE Dish lineup were donated to three partner charities: COR Foundation, Right Start Foundation, and the Pasay Social and Welfare Development
