Lending a helping hand

The holidays being the season of giving, Joy~Nostalg’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was made extra meaningful as the group incorporated into the celebrations crafty parols made by Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) of San Juan City Jail. 

Proceeds from these hand-made parols benefit the families of PDLs, allowing them to somehow partake in the celebration of Christmas. At Joy~Nostalg, located at the heart of the Ortigas Central Business District, these special Christmas lanterns are showcased in the hotel’s lobby.

As a pet-friendly establishment, Joy~Nostalg also welcomed fur babies at its Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, dressed as iconic holiday delights, including puto bumbong and bibingka

“Sometimes, I think, we’re less forgiving of people who have gone astray, but it’s part of our responsibility to help them get back on the right path,” said Ms. Huang. “If we continue to believe them, they will find it in their hearts to believe that they can do it and make a difference when they move on with their lives.”

Giving back to the community

What’s Christmas without gifts? Joy~Nostalg understands the importance of presents during this season, which is why heart-warming holiday gift baskets from local shops and artisans are now made available on the hotel’s recently-launched E-Shop website.

According to Ms. Huang, this is their way of giving back to the community and supporting small and medium enterprises.

“These people make beautiful, delicious products, but they don’t have the right distribution network to market themselves,” she said. “We take pride in sharing these discoveries with others so that they, too, can share it with the people closest to them.”
