Castañeda – Corporate Secretary, Panorama Summit Hotel, Councilor Myrna Dalodo Ortiz – Chairperson of Sangguniang Panglungsod Committee on Tourism and Beautification and Mr. Willenito P. Tormis, Jr – Chief, Davao City Tourism Office.
It’s festive and grand celebration at the Panorama Summit Hotel Saturday night as they switched on the Christmas lights signaling the start of the holiday season from above the City of Davao.
For the couple Rey and Linda Castañeda and with their children nothing is spared to make the family and corporate Christmas tradition a successful event. Dr. Rita Castañeda Dover, VP for Operations, . illustrates this in her welcome message to a bevy of guests from the government and private sectors. As she talks the rains ceased revealing the spectacular scintillating expanse of the city by night. The panoramic view is seen visibly from Panorama Summit Hotel. The name speaks for itself.
This year’s theme, XMASKIPAPZ eloquently conveys a meaningful message. The President and graceful host, Madame Linda, encapsulates the holiday spirit as “Christmas Kahit Papaano” to feel the spirit of giving and thanksgiving. Daughter Fides, the Corporate Secretary, further elucidates this saying “simply lang pero marami palang laman”. Simple but meaningful, she added.
Tanya Rabat Tan, Tourism Regional Director, expressed her appreciation to the Castañeda family for contributing in no small terms in making Davao City the top tourist destination in the country.
Amidst the jovial celebration for the advent of Christmas is a humble, quiet patriarch – Renato “Rey” dela Rosa Castaneda – the man behind Rely Construction Company, watching her family members who jointly and successfully oversee the operations of Panorama Hotel.
