Easter Sunday at The Manila Hotel: Golden Easter Egg Hunters and Ukrainian Heritage in Color

The Manila Hotel recently concluded two exciting events over the Easter weekend, offering guests both festive family fun and a rich cultural experience at the Grand Dame of the Philippines.

GOLDEN Easter Egg Hunters took place on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, at the Fiesta Pavilion. Laughter, excitement, and joyful cheer filled the afternoon as children and families enjoyed fun and engaging activities, including an Easter egg hunt, face painting, egg and cupcake decorating, arts and crafts, bouncy castles, balloon twisters, and more. Guests were also treated to delicious snacks provided by the event partners and enjoyed a captivating magic show, adding an extra touch of wonder to the festivities. A highlight of the afternoon was the live musical performance by The Manila Hotel’s very own performers, inspired by the artistry of Huntrix. 

Simultaneously, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Philippines and the Honorary Consulate of Ukraine hosted a special Easter-themed masterclass at the Roma Salon, titled “Ukrainian Heritage in Color: A Petrykivka & Pysanka Experience.” Attendees were delighted to explore the beauty of traditional Ukrainian art in a hands-on session with Ukrainian artist Arthur Tselishchev, discovering the colorful world of Petrykivka painting and the intricate symbolism of Pysanka eggs. Guests of honor included H.E. Yuliia Fediv, Ambassador of Ukraine to the Philippines, and Ms. Olena Vaniuhova, Second Secretary for Consular Affairs of the Embassy of Ukraine., who joined the activity to celebrate Ukrainian heritage and creativity.

“Easter at The Manila Hotel was marked by joy, family bonding, and cultural celebration,” said Marvin Kim Tan, The Manila Hotel’s vice president for sales and marketing. “We are proud to host events that bring people, especially families, together, whether through festive activities for children or enriching cultural experience for our guests.”

Everyone is invited to stay tuned for more exciting events, family activities, and special offers from The Manila Hotel in the coming months, promising even more memorable experiences for guests of all ages.
