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.

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.

How Vieira is transforming Palace

A cursory glance at the Premier League table suggests little has changed for Crystal Palace this season. In fact, with only one win from their opening seven games, they are three points worse off than they were at the same stage of the last campaign. And yet, despite middling results, the mood around the club is one of renewed optimism. Roy Hodgson provided stability but Patrick Vieira is striving for something more. It only takes a visit to Selhurst Park to see how supporters are responding. Last month’s 3-0 victory over Tottenham, played in a feverish atmosphere in the south-London sunshine, offered a tantalising glimpse of what the future might look like.
