During its yearly Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, Hotel Lucky Chinatown (HLC) brightened the hearts of its respected guests, customers, families, and friends during the busy holiday season. The message conveyed was one of hope, which goes beyond festive cheer.
The celebration, which took place on November 8, 2023, in the hotel’s Main Lobby, was enhanced by the attendance of students from the Philippine Institute for the Deaf (PID), which is HLC’s official partner. Honoring his city with love and support, Hon. Chairwoman Marissa Alejandro of Barangay 293 and Vice Mayor Yul Servo’s representative, Mr. Archie Dema-ala, were present to lend their distinguished presence to the occasion.
The glowing lights and the exquisitely decorated tree weren’t the only things that added to the evening’s grandeur and spectacle. The ceremonial lighting of the “Tree of Hope” represents the community’s radiating oneness and hope, which promotes harmony and coziness.
“Christmas is not a season for me, it’s a feeling,” says Jeremy Russell Go, Hotel General Manager. “In a world where hope is more vital than ever, our ceremony symbolizes a collective wish for brighter days and shared joy.”
As part of their sustainability partnership with the Philippine Institute for the Deaf this Christmas, HLC provided nearly 300 kg of used bar soap from the hotel operations for PID’s “Soap for Hope” campaign, an initiative that helps reduce hotel waste by turning used soap into something useful.
Back to the event’s highlight, this year’s tree adorned with dazzling lights, red and gold ornaments, and a star atop the tree, took center stage, exuding an ethereal glow that captivated the onlookers.
Each ornament stood not only as a magnificent design but as a metaphorical representation, with the red decors reflecting warmth, comfort, and the love shared among family and friends during the festive season, and the gold blings bringing light, wealth, and the presence of God.
Without a festive treat from its host, this magnificent occasion would fall short of its expectations. The Cafe dé Chinatown provided a great meal for the attendees. Using regional fruit, HLC’s culinary heroes worked their magic to create Sampaguita Shortcake, which features tastes exclusive to the Megaworld brand.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony at Hotel Lucky Chinatown served as more than just an extravagant show of celebration; it was a symbolic act that brought people together in the spirit of the season by serving as a reminder that, even among the twinkling lights, there is a beacon of hope.
