Around the world at Sheraton Manila Bay

The newly launched Sheraton Manila Bay marked the start of the yuletide season with its first Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the hotel lobby.

The program kicked off with the ceremonial lighting of the Christmas tree led by Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno, Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan, together with Sheraton Manila Bay general manager Richard Masselin joined by the hotel owner and vice president of Adriatico Consortium Inc. Jerome Sy. The Community Choir, the hotel’s singing ambassadors, serenaded the guests while the hotel’s culinary team prepared a festive buffet feast. Sheraton Manila Bay officially announced Bahay Tuluyan as the hotel’s chosen partner beneficiary for all upcoming CSR activities including a cross-exposure program for underprivileged youth. Bahay Tuluyan is a non-government organization that provides a variety of programs and services aimed at preventing and responding to abuse and exploitation of children in the Philippines.

Celebrating the magic of Christmas around the world, the festive decorations reflects this year’s theme “Sheraton Manila Bay: Where the World Gathers” taking inspiration from the Sheraton brand positioning as the “World’s Gathering Place” deeply rooted in over 400 communities in 70 countries. The main attraction is the 12-foot Community Tree that showcases miniature Christmas villages with iconic landmarks representing various regions where the Sheraton Hotels is present. Featured prominently at the base of the tree is our very own Philippines with a traditional bahay kubo, kalesa and parol. Other holiday embellishments are in tungsten and copper hues accented with champagne and oyster colors.
