Crimson Manila Press Release

CRIMSON Hotel Filinvest City, Manila ushered in the holiday season when it switched on the lights at this year's tree lighting ceremony held recently at the hotel lobby in Alabang.

The epitome of contemporary comfort in the south of Manila decked its halls with glittering decorations that revolved around this year's theme, "Take Me to Christmas, Take Me to Crimson."

The festive tree itself was festooned with a variety of ornaments that called to mind old-fashioned hot-air balloons soaring into the skies, bearing in them the heartfelt wishes of children of all ages.

Hotel General Manager Arlene Tongco said: "Why choose Crimson for your Christmas celebration? There's the experience itself. Here, the holidays are about more than just decorations, [as] they're about creating memories that bring loved ones closer together. Whether you're enjoying a festive escape in the city, planning a lively family gathering, or simply unwinding with seasonal food and beverage treats, we're here to make every moment feel special."

Tongco was joined at the foot of Crimson's tree by Ivannovich Agote of Department of Tourism; Ria Sarrosa, vice president of Operations at Chroma Hospitality; Allen Ampaya, Muntinlupa City councilor; Catherine Ilagan, president of Filinvest Alabang Inc.; and Santa Claus, who made a surprise appearance at the event.
