That joyous Christmas feel is here with Christmas trees and blinking lights all over the city. First to light up its towering tree was NUSTAR Resort and Casino. It was a glittering affair in late October that spelled “Mystical Holiday Magic.
” So festive and colorful! “Bituin Ng Pasko” is the theme of Seda Central Bloc’s Christmas tree. Bedecked with capiz shells, sinamay and rattan thingies, the tree came alive with GM Ron Manalang and his dynamic team on the frontline. Highlight of the merry gathering was an innovative Filipino dinner masterfully tweaked to offer something familiar yet different in some creative way.
Kudos to executive sous chef Johnbill Degamo and to GM Ron for the extraordinary dinner treat. Musical numbers came from the University of the Visayas Choir and the Sisters of Mary Boystown-Minglanilla Handbells Ringer. On the other hand, Seda Ayala Center Cebu had Sinag ng Parol as its tree lighting theme.
Lady of the hour was GM Gwen Dela Cruz who announced that once again the Seda Hotels are supporting Smile Train Philippines (an organization helping out children with cleft palate) for its Christmas undertaking. *** The Miss Cebu 2025 finalists were introduced during a press conference at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. Twelve leggy beauties are now preparing for the pageant to be held in January.
Part of their training are lectures on personality development, Cebu’s history, culture and heritage, and all else that makes a Cebuana beauty relevant .
