Citadines Roces Quezon City welcomed the holiday season with its annual Christmas Tree lighting, celebrating not only festive décor but also Filipino culture, craftsmanship, and culinary artistry. Titled “Yuletide Glows Under the City Lights,” the event highlighted the rich tradition of weaving through a showcase by Punique, an organization supporting women artisans who preserve the intricate craft of “puni” palm leaf folding. The celebration honored the hands and stories behind Filipino heritage, echoing the artistry and legacy of Apo Whang-Od.
The evening also featured Norman Peñaflorida, renowned Filipino fashion storyteller, whose work brings cultural events and theatre to life using fabrics sourced from indigenous tribes across the Philippines. His presence reinforced the connection between design, heritage, and the enduring spirit of Filipino creativity, weaving culture into every aspect of the event.
Guests were then treated to an intimate dinner at Alejo Restaurant and Bar, where Chef Timothy Trinidad and his culinary team unveiled a refreshed menu inspired by family traditions and the warmth of home. Dishes such as Crispy Pata Pochero, Four-Cheese Salad, and Salmon Coulibiac delighted attendees with comforting, nostalgic flavors, underscoring the restaurant’s new culinary direction.
