Hotel Sogo, the largest hotel chain in the Philippines, opened its 35th branch on Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City last June 8.
Celebrities, local officials and media friends attended the grand launch of the new hotel, which is about 30 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and gives tourists and travelers an affordable hotel choice in Metro Manila.
The event started with a Mass and blessing led by Fr. Cian Marques. It also featured a ceremonial ribbon cutting and toast with Pasay City Mayor Antonino Calixto, Hotel Sogo chief operating officer Reynaldo Malaca and chief executive officer Gus Corpus. The hotel’s traditional “ninja attack parade” was also performed at the city’s Libertad and Pasay Rotonda districts as well as on Roxas Boulevard.
Leading the parade were Naitas Face of Tourism Sarah Joson, Supermodel International Philippines Shanice Eve Bailon, Miss Heritage International Angelica Burgos, Miss Model Asia Pacific Rose Manalo and Miss Face and Body of the Philippines April Burgos.
The parade presented a dramatic portrayal of a samurai warrior’s gallant effort to rescue the Sogo lady and her geisha maidens from the villainous black ninjas.
Hotel Sogo Roxas Boulevard is conveniently located near famous entertainment places and theme parks like the SM Mall of Asia, Star City, Cultural Center of the Philippines, World Trade Center, Manila Zoo, Philippine International Convention Center, and Manila Ocean Park.
Hotel Sogo’s excellent Japanese-themed infrastructure offers clean rooms and first-rate service at affordable rates. Along with its fully air-conditioned rooms, guests can enjoy amenities comparable with higher class hotels such as 24-hour food and beverage service, massage service, LED TVs with cable, and in-house movie channels featuring the latest blockbuster movies.
At Hotel Sogo, guests are welcomed with the traditional Japanese bow, which epitomizes the hotel’s distinct level of courtesy and service.
