Executives and associates of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu served porridge and juice and handed out canned goods, duvet covers, and bath towels to 100 families in Barangay Apas on Sept. 26.
The activity was part of the hotel officials and employees monthly corporate social responsibility activity, an activity made more significant with the celebration of the 763rd birthday of the renowned Venetian merchant and traveler, Marco Polo, who traveled from Europe to Asia in the 13th century.
As early as 8 a.m., families with their children lined up as the hotel’s general manager, Brian Connelly, together with hotel volunteers served them porridge and juice.
A pack of useful items were also handed over to the 100 families. This contained bath towels, duvet covers and canned goods.
