SANTA, MASS AND EAGLES

As part of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila’s Whimsical Winterland celebration, Santa Claus is coming to listen to Christmas wishes and have photos taken with kids who have been ‘nice, not naughty” this year. Despite his busy schedule, Santa has allotted some time to be with kids on December 9, 16 and 25 at 11:00 a.m. and on December 24 at 7:00 p.m.—at Level 24 Sky Lobby. Then there is anticipated Holy Mass, a long-standing tradition of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila, taking place at Level 7 Ballroom on December 24 and 31 at 8:00 p.m.

Finally, make your Christmas celebration even more meaningful by purchasing an eagle stuffed toy for Php650 in support of the hotel’s worthy cause for the third year in a row. The money will help protect and conserve the country’s national bird, the Philippine Eagle, for generations to come.
