Star City 25th year treat for orphans, streetkids
To kick off its 25th anniversary celebration, Star Parks Corporation treated children from 25 different charities to a fun-filled day out dubbed Saya at Ngiti sa Star City – Maagang Pamasko sa Batang Pilipino on Sept. 16 at the theme park in the heart of Pasay.
A total of 625 kids from orphanages, juvenile shelters, rescue centers and SPED institutions were treated to ride-all-you-can access, a magic show and a parade of characters from Cosplay.Ph as well as the park’s mascot group, with generous sponsors providing free food and drinks, plus loot-bags of snacks and product giveaways for each child.
The management team of Star City was also in full force, along with the sales/ marketing staff and all park attendants to ensure that the event ran smoothly. For almost all the attendees, it was their very first time to visit an amusement park, so the early Christmas treat brought smiles that lit their faces. Guardians and chaperons who are normally hard-put in caring for their wards also savored the treat as a respite from their usual duties at their respective NGOs.
Established in 1991 as a spin-off from the hugely-popular Philcite Toys and Gifts
Fair, Star City now has more than 30 different rides and attractions for people of all ages, focusing on providing families maximum enjoyment through an array of indoor and outdoor attractions, captivating both the young and the young at heart. Now bigger and better after having expanded into an annex, Star City also opened earlier this year an adventure zone that caters to corporate team-building activities.
