Shangri-la group pays tribute to frontline heroes

Makati Shangri-La

AROUND this time of the year, Shangri-La Group’s hotels in the Philippines would normally have gathered to light up their Christmas trees set set amid festive decorations to welcome the yuletide season. Tradition takes a different turn in 2020 as Edsa Shangri- La, Makati Shangri-La, Shangri-La at the Fort, JEN Manila by Shangri-La, Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort and Spa and Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, Cebu choose to celebrate the season by reaching out to local communities and honoring our frontliners — the enduring heroes of this generation.

Shangri-La hotels in Makati, the Fort, Edsa and JEN Manila by Shangri-La have partnered with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) for their Kaagapay Protect Our Healthcare Heroes Project. The Kaagapay Project was launched by the PDRF in April 2020 to help bring immediate aid to medical professionals and hospital workers who continue their relentless fight against the spread of Covid-19.

A fundraising initiative committed towards supporting the healthcare sector, Kaagapay provides much-needed medical supplies such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilators for hospitals across Metro Manila. From November 22 to December 28, 2020, Shangri-La Group’s city hotels in the Philippines will hold the Star Cookie fundraising program. All proceeds from the Star Cookie Program and the written holiday greetings will be distributed to frontline communities through Kaagapay.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too.

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs.
