Manila, Philippines – December 20, 2025. In the spirit of the holiday season, Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria have come together to support Project Pearls’ this year’s Toy Drive campaign, which aims to bring joy and hope to underprivileged children. Both hotels, together with their staff and leadership, have generously contributed toys and gifts to help make this festive season brighter for the less fortunate.
The donation initiative is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and their philosophy of “True Hospitality for Good,” which encourages giving back to local communities. For this year’s holiday campaign, both hotels along with donations from Cluster General Manager, Ms. Patria Puyat, and her family have provided toys, school supplies, and other essential items for children in need.
Patria Puyat, Cluster General Manager of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria, shared her thoughts on the meaningful contribution: “At IHG, we believe in the power of hospitality to create lasting connections, not just through our services, but through acts of kindness that can change lives. This holiday season, we are honored to partner with Project Pearls and bring smiles to children who deserve a brighter future. It is through collaboration and community efforts that we can make a difference, and I am proud that our team along with my family can contribute to this beautiful cause.”
In addition to the direct donations, the staff of both hotels have worked together to collect and organize gifts for the children, ensuring that each child will receive a token of love this Christmas. The support from the hotels’ employees, as well as the generosity of Ms. Puyat and her family, exemplifies the heart of true hospitality where giving goes beyond business and into the community, reflecting IHG’s core values of caring for people, the environment, and local neighborhoods.
Project Pearls is a non-profit organization focused on uplifting the lives of marginalized children and families through educational programs, health care services, and livelihood initiatives. The Toy Drive campaign is a key event that brings together donations to provide toys for children in the communities that Project Pearls serves.
Both Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria express their heartfelt gratitude to all staff members, guests, and partners who contributed to making this initiative possible.
