Winford Resort & Casino Manila has launched its 2025 holiday theme, 'Pasko in Full Bloom', in collaboration with the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts Alumni Association, Inc. (UPCFCAAI).
The initiative, which began last November, aims to celebrate the warmth and wonder of Filipino Christmas traditions through an art exhibit and elaborate decorations.
The 'Pasko in Full Bloom' theme transforms the resort into a vibrant display of Filipino craftsmanship and culture, offering visitors a unique festive experience.
The collaboration with UPCFCAAI includes the 'Flourish in Full Bloom' art exhibit, which runs from 14 November to 5 January 2026.
This exhibit features colourful and expressive artworks that highlight the artists' celebration of life and supports the Hapag-Sining nutritional subsidy programme for financially-challenged students.
A symbolic occasion
During the tree lighting ceremony on 14 November, Winford Manila's President and COO, Jeffrey Evora, highlighted the symbolic nature of the celebration.
Evora said: "As we officially launch the Pasko in Full Bloom, we are also reminded that Christmas is more than just a season, but it is also a symbol of renewal, new beginnings, and of the power to rebuild after hardship."
Pearl Ortega, UPCFCAAI President, remarked on the exhibit's purpose: "This exhibit aims to contribute to our nutritional subsidy programme called Hapag-Sining for the financially-challenged students of UP College of Fine Arts."
For more information on the festive celebrations at Winford Manila, visitors are encouraged to explore the resort's official social media pages or visit in person to experience the art exhibit.
