Novotel Manila officially heralds the beginning of the festive season with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony held at the hotel’s lobby. Cluster general manager Maria Manlulu-Garcia, together with hotel manager Darwin Labayandoy led the ceremonial affair with special guest, Araneta City’s senior management consultant and executive director of J. Amado Araneta Foundation Inc. (JAAF) Rowell Recinto along with the Vice President of Accor for operations for Vietnam, Maldives and the Philippines, Xavier Cappelut.

It was a spectacular affair as members of the media walked into a gold-themed brilliantly lit holiday tree. The night was a celebration in honor of the loyal hotel guest through Accor’s loyalty program, media friends and community partnership, JAAF.

“This time around, it is our time to give back, in the spirit of our fruitful partnership and the ethos of generosity, the Heartists (employees) of Novotel Araneta City have come together to pool our resources and to raise funds supporting J. Amado Araneta Foundation Inc., the social development arm of the Araneta Group dedicated to the vision and legacy of its founder – J. Amado Araneta. This is a testament that reflects our shared values as part of this community,” Garcia shares.
