Golden Haven Extends Compassionate Care Through Memorial Assistance for Families in Need

In moments of profound loss, Golden Haven continues to extend its commitment to compassionate memorial care by providing assistance to families who may otherwise struggle to afford dignified funeral and cremation services.

Through its Chapels and Crematorium operations in Las Piñas, Golden Haven provides free cremation services for stillborn babies and infants below three months old, offering families a dignified way to honor and remember their little ones without the additional burden of cremation expenses.

The initiative reflects Golden Haven’s belief that every life, regardless of how brief, deserves to be treated with dignity and remembered with love.

Candy by Day, Cocktails by Midnight: F1 Hotel Manila’s Halloween in BGC

A trick-or-treat ballroom for the kids and a gold-versus-crimson night at Canary, both on October 31 — from Php 1,600 net for an afternoon of trick-or-treating, Php 1,429 net for two rounds of cocktails at the bar, and Php 7,488 net for the weekend staycation

Halloween at F1 Hotel Manila BGC comes with a choice of sides. On October 31, the hotel runs two parties under one roof: The Naughty & The Nice, a trick-or-treat afternoon in the ballroom built for children, and The Wicked & The Divine, a late-night takeover of Canary where guests pick angel or devil at the door. Both sit inside Heritage Holidays at F1 Hotel Manila: Homeward for the Holidays, the season's campaign running through November 1 across the hotel's rooms, restaurants, bar and function spaces.

Trick-or-treat in the ballroom: The Naughty & The Nice

Children choose a side at the door — a gold halo headband for the Nice list, red felt horns for the Naughty — then work through six trick-or-treat stations set around the ballroom, including a Nice list station handing out gingerbread parol cookies from The Patisserie. A Halo & Horns photo booth, a face-painting corner, a magic show, inflatables, a bubble show and a Nice List signing wall run alongside, and each session closes with a costume parade crowning Best Little Angel, Best Little Rascal and Best Family. Every child ends up on the Nice list.

Php 2,188 net takes a child through all six stations, the photo booth, the face painting and the costume parade, with the food stations open throughout. The Php 1,422 net rate on Hot Deals has sold out; the rate now stands at Php 1,600 net. The same booking brings 20% off the Weekend Lunch Buffet and 10% off at The Patisserie that day.
