Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao lights up the Christmas season with a heartwarming celebration of Filipino traditions. This year, the hotel embraces the spirit of Paskong Pinoy with a colorful display of parols, the iconic Filipino Christmas lanterns.
Filipinos call these star-shaped lanterns parol, which symbolize warmth, hope, and unity – values that resonate deeply with the Filipino spirit. Each parol transports guests to a nostalgic journey, reminiscent of childhood Christmases. Its origins can be traced back to the dawn masses, misa de guinaldo or simbang gabi traditions, guiding people to church with its soft, hopeful glow. At Waterfront, this symbol takes on new meaning, extending warmth and light to each guest, reminding them of home, childhood memories, family traditions.
In keeping with its tradition of giving back, Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao has partnered with the House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer, Inc. to make this Christmas season brighter for children battling cancer. A portion of the proceeds from the Christmas tree lighting ceremony will be donated to the foundation to help fulfill the children’s wishes and support their medical needs.
As the Christmas tree is illuminated, guests are invited to join in the festivities, which include Filipino Christmas carols by the Southern Philippines Chamber Singers, graceful dances by Siningtala, and delightful array of homemade Filipino-inspired dishes with a twist. The hotel’s commitment to providing memorable experiences and giving back to the community makes it the heart of holiday celebrations.
