Led by General Manager Farid Schoucair and executive committee members, the hotel’s corporate social responsibility team visited the construction site at Bistekville in Barangay Payatas, Quezon City, for a concrete showcase of civic mindedness and teamwork.  

New World Makati employees and Habitat for Humanity Philippines volunteers work together to contribute to the construction of decent and sustainable homes for informal settlers in Barangay Payatas, Quezon City

Under the supervision of Allan Bermudo, Habitat for Humanity’s safety officer and project supervisor, volunteer hotel associates completed hauling 255 cement hollow blocks, transporting back-fill equivalent to a total of seven cubic meters; and excavating four holes.

New Hilot-inspired experience at Devarana Spa

Dusist Thani Manila's Devarana Spa lets spa lovers experience the relaxing combination of Filipino hilot and Balinese Boreh Remedy with its Borehilot Massage

Devarana Spa at Dusit Thani Manila invites spa lovers to experience the magic of the Eastern blend therapies through the new Borehilot Massage. 

Borehilot Massage is the fusion of Filipino Hilot Massage and Balinese Boreh Remedy. In the traditional Eastern remedies, unbalanced energy within the body causes illness. When the energy pathways are blocked, sickness begins to take form in the body causing harm to your health. The core principle of Eastern therapy is to unblock and stimulate the energy meridians, aiming to maintain health and wellness – mentally, physically and emotionally. 

Devised to bring your body and mind back into natural balance in 90 minutes, the Borehilot Massage starts with the application of a warm Boreh paste which is the combination of ginger root, cinnamon, clove and rice powder. Therapist applies this warm paste on the specific area such as upper and lower back, legs and stomach to help warm up the muscles and improve flexibility. The heat and aromatic properties of the Boreh ease the strain and promote circulation. 

What’s more, a warm banana leaves, soaking into warm therapeutic oil, are arranged to cover on top of the paste to let the heat penetrate deeper in that specific area,  this ritual will be left there for a while to reduce the tension and relieve the back and legs pain.

The massage therapy is completed with a long soothing stroke massage with medium pressure to stimulate the circulation. The benefits of this new massage are such as relieving fatigue, providing the energy and promoting luminous complexion.     

For more information, please contact Devarana Spa at Dusit Thani Manila +63 (2) 818 7081 or send e-mail to| manila@devaranaspa.com
