‘The Gathering Star’ Sheraton Manila Bay Ushers the Holiday Season

Sheraton Manila Bay kicked off the festive season with a captivating Christmas tree lighting ceremony held last Nov. 9 at the hotel’s newly renovated main lobby.

Embracing the theme “Gatherings & Stories,” the event not only celebrated the joyous spirit of the holidays but also highlighted the hotel’s deep commitment to sustainability.

The “Gatherings & Stories” tree lighting event showcased Sheraton Manila Bay’s dedication to creating an unforgettable Yuletide experience that intertwines the festive spirit with sustainability. The focal point of the celebration was the 15-foot Sheraton Tree of Sustainability, a stunning eco-conscious masterpiece meticulously crafted from actual tree branches, sustainable wood shavings, moss, and dried fruits.

Adorned with glistening crystals and apricot-colored embellishments, this lush tree symbolizes growth, resilience, and the inherent beauty of nature, embodying the hotel’s unwavering dedication to environmental consciousness.

Hotel general manager Richard Masselin presided over the ceremonial lighting, joined by the distinguished members of the hotel’s executive committee, including Juvy Agudon, director of sales and marketing; Alex Encarnacion, director of engineering; Jennifer Labita, director of finance; and Roy Aguba, director of human resources. Adding to the splendor of the occasion, the esteemed guests of honor who graced the occasion to illuminate the tree were Manila Mayor Hon. Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan, Vice Mayor Hon. John Marvin “Yul Servo” C. Nieto, and Barangay 699 Chairman Edwin “Amo” Chan.

The enchanting ceremony, hosted by hotel marketing manager Stephanie Cabrejas, was complemented by the festive melodies of the “Lighter Side Movement,” creating a harmonious atmosphere of celebration.
