Corporate Social Responsibility Shoutout: North Palm Hotel and Garden

Last October 8, 2011, with the event planning and management headed by PREP Davao, an eco-friendly hotel opened. It was North Palm Hotel and Garden, located in Lanang, Davao city.

Aside from having the opportunity to own the eco-friendly hotel branding, North Palm can also help a lot in educating people on environmentally sound ways to take care of Mother Nature.

Here are some of the things that North Palm does to pay their share in taking care of our environment:

• Using solar heat to warm up your showers
• Utilizing rain water for cleaning your rooms, bathrooms, the entire hotel and for watering the plants.
• Employing waste management systems inside the room so you can properly segregate your waste
• Keeping the hallways open to let natural breeze flow through
• Using only organic detergents and cleansers for all cleaning activities
• Application of eco-friendly paint all over the hotel
• Putting the No Smoking Ordinance under strict compliance
• Use of recycled wood for flooring and stair treads

Aside from North Palm’s eco-friendly commitment, they’re also keen on aiding advocacies that help uplift livelihoods, families and communities.

Kudos to North Palm Hotel and Garden! Don't forget to show them some love! Click this link to like their Facebook page.

Davao Welcomes the 2nd Sony Centre @ Abreeza

Last June 22, 2011, Davao's 2nd Sony Centre opened at Abreeza Mall, Davao city.

Among Sony's edgy attractions were a set of ribbon dancers, drumbeaters and a soul-acoustic band that brought the store to life even before the awesome play stations, VAIO laptops, LED TVs, Cybershot digicams and  walkmans became "open for mass consumption". Speaking of masses, mass hero Vice Mayor Duterte also graced the store opening and tried out Sony's 3D TV. (Actually, he cut the ribbon with the Sony Executives as well.)

Right after the ribbon cutting, guests and Sony's media friends gave Sony gadgets a look-see while enjoying the yummy cocktails from Blugre cafe. Mallgoers also enjoy free picture taking and photo printing at the posh posh posh Sony Centre.

A little later, Sony also did a raffle contest, giving away 5 P500 gift certificates for TGIFriday's and 5 wireless HiFi headphones. Sadly, Your New PR Girl did not win anything. That's why I ate a lot of cake that night.

Here are some pictures of the Sony Centre - Abreeza opening:
