Manila Hotel gives back this Christmas


MANILA, Philippines - In the spirit of Christmas, Manila Hotel gives its guests the opportunity to give a gift and help the kids of the House of Refuge Foundation Inc.

Manila Hotel is offering Nutcracker Cookie Jars wherein proceeds from the sale will be donated to the House of Refuge.

The kids of the House of Refuge were treated to exciting games and activities during the hotel’s Christmas tree lighting and The Nutcracker Christmas theme launch recently.

“The Manila Hotel maintains its commitment in helping underprivileged communities. With this project, we hope to share the joys of the season to the children of the House of Refuge,” says Manila Hotel executive vice president Enrique Yap Jr.

The House of Refuge helps abandoned and orphaned children in Metro Manila. It has three major programs: residential care, legal adoption, and independent living for older children.



Every monetary and in-kind support received by the House of Refuge will greatly help in the education, health, and other basic needs of the children.


Since its inception, the House of Refuge has served more than 1,000 children. It currently cares for 36 children aged four to 17.

“It’s really an honor that Manila Hotel chose House of Refuge Foundation Inc. to be the beneficiary of the Nutcracker Cookie Jar. Your contribution, be it small or big, will greatly make a difference in the lives of all the precious children in our care,” says Glady Bunao, directress of the House of Refuge.

There are only 500 limited edition cookie jars available at the Delicatessen for P1,500 net. For reservations, call 527-0011.
