Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila welcomed the festive season with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, unveiling this year’s theme of “Season of Joy.” The evening centered on togetherness, warmth, and the cherished tradition of celebrating with the people who make the holidays truly meaningful.
The ceremony was graced by distinguished guests led by Ms. Elizabeth Sy, President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Mr. Hans Sy, Chairman of SM Prime Holdings Inc.; and Ms. Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation, together with Pasay City Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano.
A thoughtfully curated musical program, directed by Nestor Jardin, set an elegant tone for the night. Performances by Vien King, The Opera Belles, and Bernie Pasamba and the Music Masters filled the lobby with orchestral flair and festive charm. Guests continued the celebration over an elevated cocktail spread prepared by the Lanson Place Culinary Team.
“The Season of Joy reminds us that happiness grows when shared,” said Nils Rothbarth, General Manager of Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila. “Whether through a kind gesture, a generous act, or the warmth of genuine hospitality, each of us can help make the world a little brighter.”
In her message, Ms. Peggy Angeles reflected on the significance of the evening: “Under the theme ‘Season of Joy,’ we gather not only to illuminate our Christmas tree but to kindle the spirit of hope, gratitude, and togetherness that this season brings. The twinkling lights before us are more than a festive display — they are a reminder that light finds its way even through the darkest nights.”
This year, Lanson Place continues its meaningful partnership with the Philippine School for the Deaf, supporting initiatives that enrich the lives of its students — a testament to the hotel’s commitment to creating uplifting, community-focused experiences.
