Winford Manila kicks off holiday season with art display and Filipino elegance

The holiday festivities have fully bloomed at Winford Resort & Casino Manila.

Underscoring the Filipino warmth, wonder, and winning moments, Winford Manila highlights the festive and heartfelt celebration of the Christmas season in the Philippines. This year, the integrated resort teamed up with the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts Alumni Association, Inc. (UPCFAAAI) for an art exhibit in celebration of Filipino artists and the Hapag-Sining initiative in support for the financially-challenged students of the institution.

Winford Manila’s Pasko in Full Bloom features elaborate decorations that reimagine Christmas celebration with a touch of Filipino culture. It transforms the integrated resort into a tapestry of colors inspired by Filipino craftsmanship and traditions creating an experience that feels both festive and proudly local.

During the tree lighting ceremony last November 14, Jeffrey Evora, Winford Manila’s President & COO, emphasized that this year’s celebration is also a beacon of renewed faith and hope that blooms within everyone. “As we officially launch the Pasko in Full Bloom, we are also reminded that Christmas is more than just a season, but it is also a symbol of renewal, new beginnings, and of the power to rebuild after hardship”, he added.

Making the gathering more meaningful is the launch of Flourish in Full Bloom by UPFCCCAI. The art exhibit that will run from November 14 to January 5, 2026 features sceneries and elements that showcase explosion of colors, bright imagery, and expressive application of pigments and rich textures depicting the artists’ celebration of life. “This exhibit aims to contribute to our nutritional subsidy program called Hapag-Sining for the financially-challenged students of UP College of Fine Arts”, Pearl Ortega, UPFCCCAI President, remarked.
