A Dazzling Christmas at Cebu Quincentennial Hotel: Parol Lighting Ceremony Illuminates the Spirit of Giving

The holiday season has officially kicked off at the Cebu Quincentennial Hotel with the unveiling of their enchanting Christmas stars during a heartwarming Parol Lighting Ceremony yesterday, December 6, 2023. Embracing the Filipino tradition, the hotel adorned its surroundings with vibrant parols, each one carrying a unique story of craftsmanship and collaboration.

What sets these Christmas lanterns apart is the extraordinary hands that brought them to life – crafted by persons deprived of liberty in collaboration with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). This initiative not only illuminates the hotel's festive ambiance but also sheds light on the potential for positive impact within the community.

Key figures from the property graced the ceremony, emphasizing the importance of unity and compassion during the holiday season. Among the esteemed attendees were Duros Group Chairman Rafaelito Barino, Duros Group President Fe Barino, Duros Hotels Managing Director Adie Gallares, and Chief Finance Officer Rhea Mantuhac Andales.

As the Christmas stars shine bright, casting a warm glow over the hotel, they serve as a reminder of the spirit of giving and the power of collaboration to create something truly magical. The Cebu Quincentennial Hotel not only welcomes the festive season with open arms but also embraces a meaningful tradition that touches the lives of those who contributed to its shimmering beauty. This Parol Lighting Ceremony goes beyond mere decoration; it is a celebration of community, resilience, and the joy that comes from spreading light in the darkest of times.
