In keeping with their commitment to continue helping the community amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila and its employees turned over a donation cheque of P100,000 to the Philippine Red Cross to help further the organization's humanitarian operations.
The amount was raised through the hotel employees' virtual fund-raising initiative even as they themselves are struggling due to the pandemic. In addition,1,400 sets of linens were donated for isolation facilities.
Sofitel Manila General Manager Olivier Larcher, together with Director of Talent and Culture Marivic Que and Director of Events Cynthia Esteban, officially handed over the donations to Philippine Red Cross secretary general Elizabeth Zavalla, Director for Fund Generation and Business Development Vanessa Lee Calixto, and PRC chairman Senator Richard Gordon who joined virtually.
“We hope this humble contribution could help our neighbors to recover during these trying times. As we go through tough challenges not only as an industry but as a nation, Sofitel Manila’s employees have been inspired by the Heartist spirit – one of our core values that aim to create heartfelt experiences. Together, we can create communities of support that could make a big difference even with the simplest of gestures,” Larcher said.
