Unique Lanterns Crafted with Inspiration
What made this ceremony truly special was the unique story behind the Cebu Quincentennial Hotel’s stunning parol display. Inspired by the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Three Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus, the lanterns symbolized hope and faith.
Staying true to its values, Cebu Quincentennial Hotel adorned its spaces with parols crafted by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in Lapu-Lapu City. This heartfelt initiative allowed persons deprived of liberty to share their artistry, fostering a sense of purpose and offering us, outside those walls, a glimpse of their talents during this season of hope.

It was a reminder to see and feel a sense of connection with those facing challenges.
