Grand, Glittery, and Gold at
Marriott Manila
It was a night of all things shining, shimmering, splendid as Marriott
Hotel Manila’s associates – aptly called Brilliant Hosts – celebrated their
Annual Party last February 10 at the Manila Ballroom. With the theme “Grand,
Glittery, and Gold,” the hosts were in their best regalia as the men were
dapper in their suits and tuxedos, while the ladies strutted their stuff in
their beautiful flowing gowns. All of the hotel’s departments were divided into
groups and were tasked to create a video presentation based on an era assigned
to them, from the roaring 50’s to the modern 2000’s, whilst still staying true
to the night’s theme. The Sales & Marketing and Engineering team defended
their title and emerged as the champion for the 2nd straight year
with their rock-and-roll inspired 80’s music video, while the F&B Kitchen
team won 2nd place with their throwback 90’s entry and the
Housekeeping and Laundry team bagged 3rd place with their flashback
50’s short film.
Fritz Andal of the Engineering Department and Joanna Tiglao of the F&B
Kitchen Department emerged as the Best Male and Female Performers respectively,
while Cholo Martillo and Jane Manzanero, both from the Sales and Marketing
Department, won as Male and Female Stars of the Night.
The video presentations as well as the individual winners were chosen by
Mr. Ronan Capinding, Mr. Roly Halagao, and Mr. Paul Daza.
Marriott’s philosophy of “putting people first” resonates in the manner
that the Brilliant Hosts provide utmost service to their guests by exemplifying
the adage of their brand founder Mr. J. W. Marriott, “If you take care of your
associates, they will take care of the customer, and the customer will keep
coming back.” And for one day each year, the company celebrates in thanksgiving
for all the hard work and commitment that its hosts provide to make Marriott
Hotel Manila as successful as it is today.
