Bayview Park Hotel Manila successfully held its annual Christmas Lighting Ceremony on November 27, 2025, with this year’s theme: “The Light of Giving: Illuminating Hearts Through Generosity.” This theme reflected the hotel’s commitment to sharing joy and kindness with those who need it most. The event highlighted the true spirit of Christmas through unity, gratitude, and compassion.
The celebration began with the welcoming of guests, an invocation, and a heartfelt message from Mr. Eugene Yap, General Manager and President of Bayview Park Hotel Manila. Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, together with Vice Mayor Chi Atienza, graced the occasion and delivered an inspiring Christmas message that emphasized the importance of generosity and community spirit.
Guests were treated to performances by the Timoteo Paez Elementary School Rondalla, which showcased the musical talents of young Paezeños, and a special entertainment number by Bayview Park Hotel Manila staff together with the Ms. Bayview Park Hotel Manila candidates—Ms. Gem Abion from the Front Office Department, Ms. Angela De Josef, and Ms. Shanen Sornes from the Sales and Marketing Department. Their participation added glamour and excitement to the afternoon, giving guests a preview of the upcoming Ms. Bayview event that everyone should watch out for.
The highlight of the afternoon was the countdown to the lighting of the Christmas display, which brought festive cheer to the hotel and its guests.
In line with the theme, Bayview Park Hotel Manila encouraged guests to share gifts and donations, which were pledged to benefit Museo Pambata, bringing joy to children during the holiday season.
And for the very first time, Bayview Park Hotel Manila unveiled its Official Christmas Theme Song, a melody that will echo through the halls of the hotel for years to come. Behind this successful creation are the brilliant minds and creative hearts of the Bayview Park Hotel Manila Committee, Ms. Shanen Sornes, Ms. Diosa Marie Yap, Ms. Leslie Gonzales, and Ms. Vernie Galang.
General Manager and President, Mr. Eugene Yap closed the program by thanking all guests, employees, and partners for their support, and reminded everyone that the true brilliance of Christmas lies not in the lights we see, but in the kindness we share.
