IN SUCH trying times, Cebu Parklane International Hotel remains steadfast with its distinct Cebuano hospitality and hopes to spread positivity this holiday season.
On Dec. 3, 2020, Parklane kicked off its yuletide festivities with a night of merriment, which included Christmas carols, a sumptuous Filipino buffet spread, a recap of the year that was and the highlight of the night, the lighting of the Belen.
Instead of the typical Christmas tree, Parklane opted to start a new tradition this year: the Belen, a depiction of the nativity scene, a symbol of hope, resilience and family. The theme for this year’s holiday celebration is “Saad sa Pasko.”
During the lockdown, Parklane launched a new initiative called Cocina Collective, which aims to provide healthy, quality meals to medical and non-medical frontliners in Cebu. As part of its corporate social responsibility, the hotel partnered with several institutions, including hospitals. / CHRISTIAN B. QUILO
