Grand Westside Manila Bay recently welcomed the holiday season with a grand Christmas tree lighting ceremony inspired by a European Christmas village.
The festive event took place on November 12 at the sprawling property located in Parañaque City. Distinguished guests and tourism officials joined the hotel management for the celebration.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez and Councilor Paolo Olivarez attended the gathering alongside Department of Tourism Undersecretary Captain Stanley Ng. Megaworld Global Hospitality Managing Director Anna Liza Vergara and Pastor Dr. Rafael Alfonso also graced the special occasion.
European Village Theme
The hotel transformed its spaces to feature twinkling lights, gingerbread houses, festive greenery, and European-inspired market stalls. Traditional Filipino parols also added local warmth to the stunning holiday decorations.
General Manager Joe Xavier Fijardo shared that the celebration combines foreign charm with local traditions. He noted that the season focuses on family, friendship, gratitude, and sharing blessings.
Charity Initiative
Grand Westside Manila Bay launched a community project named A Village of Giving to support disadvantaged youth. The program benefits the talented children of the Minstrels Rhythm of Hope group.
Guided by the message of little gifts and big smiles, the campaign encourages visitors to share donations. A dedicated donation house stands beside the main lobby tree until December 21.
Festive Dining Offers
Guests can explore the Christmas Village Market for seasonal gifts, festive cakes, and holiday hampers. Café by Westside also offers special holiday menus and dining experiences for families.
The hotel features a special three plus one dining promo across select holiday feasts. Visitors can also catch the golden midnight countdown at the fifth-floor open deck.
