NUSTAR Resort Cebu has welcomed in the holiday season via its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at The Atrium. Themed “Pearl of the Holiday Season”, the ceremony was held on 25 October.
“Every year, this celebration gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect; to celebrate how far we’ve come and to remind us of what truly matters,” said NUSTAR COO, Sean Knights. “This year’s theme, ‘Pearl of the Holiday Season’, holds a special meaning for all of us. The pearl is born through time, pressure and transformation. From something ordinary comes something radiant: a symbol of beauty, strength and grace. In many ways, it mirrors our story as a community and as a resort. Cebu, like the pearl, continues to rise with resilience and shines brighter with every challenge it overcomes.”
Now in its fourth year, NUSTAR continued its signature Installation of the Stars, a tradition it said symbolizes love, joy, peace, hope, and Cebu’s shared aspiration for renewal. This year’s star bearers were children from The Children of Cebu Foundation, Inc (TCCFI), NUSTAR’s chosen beneficiary. The final star, known as the New Star, was placed by Knights, representing Cebu’s collective optimism for the future.
Through its philanthropic arm, the Universal Cultural Foundation Inc (UCFI), NUSTAR extended support to TCCFI. The initiative will fund essential repairs and new equipment to improve the foundation’s facilities, creating a safer and more nurturing space for more than 30 resident and transient children.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Children of Cebu Foundation Inc, the staff and most of all our children at the Parian Drop-in Center, we welcome the collaboration with NUSTAR with joyful and grateful hearts,” said. Margot Osmeña, President of TCCFI. “It is because of Partners like [NUSTAR] that we have been blessed to receive and provide a home to over 6000 children over the past 33 years.”
