In honor of International Women’s Day #AccelerateAction, Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria are proud to announce their collaboration with Project Pearls, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering underprivileged communities, particularly women and children.
On March 13 & 14, 2025, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria will collaborate an initiative to support Project Pearls’ impactful program. A key program of Project Pearls is G.R.O.W. (Giving Resources and Opportunities to Women), which was launched in 2019 to address poverty and the lack of job skills and livelihood opportunities in Brgy. Batia, Bocaue, Bulacan. G.R.O.W. helps women develop sustainable livelihoods by providing essential resources and skills. The program also focuses on nurturing and empowering girls to lead safe, healthy, and educated lives. G.R.O.W. believes that empowered women have the power to uplift other women.
The celebration of International Women’s Day is more than just a symbolic gesture—both hotels are taking actionable steps to support the cause by partnering with Project Pearls to empower women through livelihood opportunities. The WoMen of G.R.O.W. take pride in their handcrafted products, created with care and purpose. These items are mindfully upcycled, turning discarded materials into beautiful, functional pieces while reducing waste and protecting the environment. Each purchase of G.R.O.W. products not only supports economic and social empowerment for women in need, but also helps provide meals for children and the elderly, as well as essentials for Project Pearls scholars.
Patria Puyat, Cluster General Manager of Crowne Plaza & Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria, shared, “We believe true empowerment starts with action. Our partnership with Project Pearls provides us with a meaningful way to create tangible change in the lives of women and children who need it the most. International Women’s Day is an opportunity for us to not only celebrate the achievements of women but also contribute to lasting, positive change.”
Guests and the public are encouraged to participate in this event and to show their support for women’s empowerment, and contribute to this worthy cause. This partnership demonstrates a shared vision of transforming celebration into tangible action, ensuring that the spirit of International Women’s Day extends well beyond March 8th.
