IN observance of this year’s Lenten season, Hotel Sogo gave away thousands of bottled water for free to parishioners and travellers last April 18, (Maundy Thursday) as part of its “Kwaresma campaign.”
Six Hotel Sogo branches nationwide including Cainta, Novaliches, Avenida, Harrison Pasay, Tarlac and Cebu set up their respective booths to distribute ready-to-drink bottled water to the people who practiced Visita Iglesia.
These simultaneous activities aimed to aid and reduce people’s thirst while doing their Holy Week activities especially this hot summer season.
Some of the efforts were coordinated with nearby major churches and local barangay units. Hotel Sogo Novaliches branch set up their booth near Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Mercy, while Harrison Pasay branch positioned near Baclaran Church, Tarlac branch in San Sebastian Cathedral in Tarlac, and Cebu branch near Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu.
On the other hand, Hotel Sogo Cainta branch stationed near the Our Lady of Antipolo Shrine to give free bottled water to the influx of “Alay Lakad” devotees. The Avenida branch which is near in Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene mounted its booth in front of their hotel building.
Moreover, this is part Hotel Sogo’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) under its Sogo Cares program, which aimed to give back to the community by conducting different community services, relief operations, donations, and medical missions.
Hotel Sogo is the fastest-growing hospitality and lodging provider in the Philippines with 39 (and counting) branches across the archipelago that provides top notch hotel services and facilities at very affordable rate.
