In celebration of its milestone 9th Anniversary, last May 8 Mezzo Hotel Cebu dedicated a special "Associates Day" to honor its ultimate backbone—its employees. The exclusive event centered on recognizing long-term dedication and fostering environmental awareness through the highly anticipated SHINE Project Runway: Sustainable Fashion Contest.

A Vision of Unity and Gratitude The celebration officially commenced with inspiring opening remarks from Mezzo Hotel Cebu’s President, Shannen Keisha L. Tan. In her address, Ms. Tan expressed her profound gratitude to the workforce, emphasizing that the hotel's nine years of success and resilience are deeply rooted in the dedication, passion, and unity of its associates. She commended everyone for their hard work and challenged the team to continue pushing boundaries, setting a motivating and empowering tone for the rest of the festivities.

Honoring Pillars of Dedicated Service A major highlight of the celebration was the presentation of the Service Awards, recognizing the loyalty and outstanding contributions of individual associates who have been vital to the hotel's continuous growth:

5 Years of Dedicated Service: * Sharon Enriques – General Accountant (Finance Department) * Charles Kyle Villahermosa – Bellman (Front Office Department) 9 Years of Dedicated Service: * Dayanara Carvajal – Reservations Supervisor (Front Office Department) * Mayet Ocariza – Director of Operations (Executive Office) SHINE Project Runway: Turning Waste into Wearable Art

Bringing sustainability into the spotlight, the SHINE Project Runway challenged different hotel departments to turn everyday waste into inspiring fashion statements. Each team showcased two unique designs crafted entirely from recyclable and repurposed materials, including old newspapers, plastics, abaca fiber, cartons, and office or kitchen waste.

Championing innovation and teamwork, the departments took home the following top spots: * Grand Champion: Kitchen Department – “Creative Warrior” ensemble * 2nd Place: Housekeeping Department – “Black Swan” concept * 3rd Place: Food & Beverage Service Team – “Goddess and Gods” theme

The runway saw intense competition from the rest of the workforce as well. Exceptional, eco-conscious creations were put forward by the Technical Department, the combined Sales, Marketing, and Front Office Department, and the Finance and Supply Chain Department. Their collective participation underscored a powerful message: sustainability at Mezzo Hotel Cebu is a true team effort. Through fashion, camaraderie, and a shared green vision, the management and staff of Mezzo Hotel Cebu continue to embrace corporate sustainability with creativity, heart, and clear purpose. #makeitMezzo #ShineatNine
