The Heartists from Novotel Manila Araneta City (NMAC) united to raise funds in support of the J. Amado Araneta Foundation (JAAF). Last night, during the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, GM Maria Manlulu-Garcia and RM Darwin Labayandoy handed over the collected funds to Rowell Recinto, JAAF Trustee and ACI Senior Management Consultant, alongside Diane Romero, JAAF Executive Director.
Giving back stands as Novotel’s heartfelt gesture of appreciation. Despite facing challenges, the solidarity and unwavering determination of NMAC Heartists enabled them to overcome obstacles together, emerging stronger. They express gratitude for the support from JAAF and Araneta City.
Mr. Recinto, in accepting the pledge, highlighted JAAF’s 20-year journey in creating pathways to opportunities. He also mentioned collaborative projects between JAAF and Novotel, such as tree planting activities resulting in over 3,000 trees in Rizal Province and Quezon City. Additionally, NMAC’s repurposed scrap soap by a PWD community in 2022 was sold to JAAF for distribution to public schools. Novotel’s yearly initiative, “Bucket of Blessings,” where employees volunteer to give gifts to indigent communities, has been a consistent part of their contributions over the years.
A heartfelt thank you to the Grateful Heartists of Novotel Manila Araneta City!
