HATCH Art Exhibit, 5th Edition
Press release. This is a sponsored post.
The Manila Hotel, in collaboration with Manila Bulletin, is bringing back HATCH for the upcoming Easter season—a one-of-a-kind exhibition of exquisite Easter eggs. Visitors will be greeted to a wonderful display of cutting-edge collaboration of Filipino artists in the Grand Lobby of the hotel.
HATCH: The 5th Edition, which showcases 18 individually customized acrylic eggs showcasing a variety of creative styles and distinct personalities of Filipino contemporary artists who come from different disciplines, aims to promote the local art scene and highlight the creative genius of local artists. Each Easter egg has an own narrative to tell, much as the artists adapted their separate distinctive mixed media approaches.
Featured artists include: Addie Cukingnan, Agi Pagkatipuna, Al Perez, Aner Sebastian, Carlito Ortega, Carlo Magno, Cindel Tiausas, Carlos Cee Cadid, Demet dela Cruz, Migi Sebastian, Egai Fernandez, Emmanuel Nim, Jinggoy Salcedo, Margie Organo, Maria Magdamit, Migs Villanueva, Monnar Baldemor, Reen Barrera, Remy Boquiren, Roger “Rishab” Tibon.
In 2020, Manila Bulletin won the gold award for HATCH during the 55th Anvil Awards. The exhibit moved from city to city where visitors were introduced to an exceptional showcase of Filipino artistry.
HATCH will be on display at the Grand Lobby of The Manila Hotel until April 23, 2023.

Manila Hotel Charity Dinner Concert to Fund Children Nutrition Program
Press release. This is a sponsored post.
Save the date! The Manila Hotel will stage a charity dinner concert to raise funds for a massive nationwide nutrition program for children. Happening on November 26, 2022 at 6:00pm.
The announcement was made by Joey Lina, The Manila Hotel President and former senator after the formation of an alliance of non-governmental organizations called “Alliance for a Healthy Philippines” (AHP) last October 6, 2022 also at The Manila Hotel. The alliance aims to increase awareness on the serious children malnutrition problem in the country and to implement barangay-based nutrition intervention programs especially during the child’s first 1,000 days. The organizations include Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Jaycees, Midwives and the World Vision and others. The AHP will work in tandem with the government, particularly with the National Nutrition Council (NNC).
The performers in the concert include the country’s premier music artists Isay Alvarez, Lara Maigue, Rachelle Gerodias, former press secretary Atty, Mike Toledo, former executive secretary Atty. Salvador Medialdea and Joey Lina.
Malusog na Bata, Malakas na Bansa is the battle cry of the organization. The theme of the concert is “Yes, I Believe”.
In a letter to various business organization and individuals asking for support to the nutrition program and the charity dinner concert, Lina explained the grim statistics surrounding the country’s children’s health and nutrition:
“The underlying cause of 95 child deaths daily in the Philippines is child undernutrition.”, according to the 2015 Unite For Children report from United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). This makes children undernutrition in our country much worse than the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2016 Global Nutrition Report said the Philippines is among those with the highest wasting and stunting prevalence. Of a total of 130 countries ranked lowest to highest on wasting prevalence, the Philippines is ranked 93rd. On stunting, the Philippines has 30.3% prevalence and is at 88th spot out of 132 countries also ranked lowest to highest.
Health experts have warned that “chronic undernutrition leads to stunted growth, which is irreversible and is associated with impaired cognitive ability and reduced school performance, as well as poor work capacity and productivity.”
When it comes to Intelligence Quotient (IQ) in Southeast Asian nations, the Philippines ranked lowest according to a study released last year by the World Population Review.
The Philippines ranked lowest in reading literacy among 79 countries, and second to lowest in mathematics and science, based on the evaluation last 2019 by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
Unless the country is able to solve the children’s malnutrition problem particularly in the child’s first 1,000 days, the most critical period in the child’s brain growth, the Philippines’ human resource will be not productive and school performance will be poor, Lina added.
