Peninsula: Pretty in pink to battle breast cancer
MANILA, Philippines - With October designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Peninsula Manila goes all out in its support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
For the fifth year running, the hotel continued with its pink-themed promotions but with a twist. This entire month of October, the grand fountain at the front of the hotel will be illuminated in pink light from 6 to 10 p.m.
A fundraising-auction cocktail party was held at the Art Deco-inspired bar-lounge Salon de Ning to raise funds for the Philippine Foundation of Breast Cancer Inc. Bids were accepted for an overnight stay at The Peninsula Suite, a Methuselah or six-liter bottle of Moet & Chandon, jewelry from Jul Dizon and a P10,000 gift card from Itsie Bitsie Boutique.
The party’s pink theme extended throughout the hotel, where guests commented on the lovely pink flowers and candles scattered all over The Lobby and restaurants, as well as the especially designed ribbons worn by the hotel staff, while sipping free-flowing Moet & Chandon Rose Champagne, nibbling on signature pink-themed canapés, and listening to live music and entertainment.
