Radisson Blu Hotel, Cebu celebrates its 15th anniversary with the theme “Shining Through,” inspired by the brilliance, resilience, and clarity of crystal—the traditional gemstone that symbolizes fifteen years of enduring strength. The milestone marks a decade and a half of exceptional hospitality, meaningful partnerships, and a legacy that continues to illuminate Cebu’s skyline.
Since opening its doors in 2010, Radisson Blu Cebu has become a premier destination for both MICE events and weddings, setting the benchmark for luxury experiences in the Visayas. Its state-of-the-art facilities and impeccable service have made it the preferred venue for prestigious gatherings — including hosting the 2017 ASEAN Summit, a landmark event that welcomed world leaders and delegates to Cebu. The hotel has also been the backdrop for countless elegant weddings, notably through its annual Something Blu bridal fair, which has inspired and connected couples with the region’s top wedding artisans.
Over the years, the hotel has earned numerous accolades that reflect its dedication to excellence. Radisson Blu Cebu was twice named Hotel of the Year in Asia Pacific by the Radisson Hotel Group, and the Operational Excellence Award in both 2023 and 2024 for consistently upholding the highest standards of service, guest satisfaction, and brand integrity. Most recently, it was recognized among the Top 10 Best City Hotels in the Philippines for 2024 in Travel+Leisure Asia Pacific magazine’s, further affirming its position as one of the country’s most distinguished hotels, among a handful of regional and more local awards for culinary prowess and creativity.

As it celebrates fifteen radiant years, Radisson Blu Cebu stands as a symbol of elegance, excellence, and empathy—continuing to shine through, in service, partnerships, and purpose.
Epson Philippines Corporation reaffirmed its commitment to environmental conservation with a recent tree-planting event held at La Mesa Eco Park in Quezon City. This initiative is part of Epson’s ongoing efforts to protect the environment and preserve Metro Manila’s vital green spaces, often referred to as the “lungs of the city” due to their role in improving air quality in densely populated urban areas. Epson believes that impactful actions—whether through its innovative technologies or community programs—should leave a lasting positive legacy.
During the event, Epson employees planted 221 native tree seedlings strategically across the park. These particular species were selected to enhance biodiversity and aid in the restoration of the watershed areas impacted by urbanization. As these trees grow, they will contribute to soil stabilization, cleaner air, and improved water retention in the La Mesa Reservoir, a crucial water source for millions of residents.
Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines Corporation, joined the tree planting activity of the company.
This tree-planting activity follows a similar initiative in July, where 150 seedlings were planted in the same location. Epson’s return to La Mesa Eco Park within the same year highlights the company’s dedication to long-term environmental care rather than one-off efforts. This consistent approach allows volunteers to be part of ongoing progress that benefits the ecosystem over time.
La Mesa Eco Park remains one of the few remaining forested areas in Metro Manila, playing an essential role in maintaining the region’s ecological balance. Epson’s partnership with the park supports conservation efforts that rely heavily on the involvement of volunteers and private organizations to restore forest cover and safeguard the watershed’s resilience.
Epson employees planted a total of 371 seedlings in La Mesa Eco Park.
“Environmental stewardship is deeply ingrained in our company values,” said Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines. “Our employees demonstrate this commitment daily, both in their work and through initiatives like tree planting. Each seedling at La Mesa Eco Park symbolizes our collective responsibility to protect the natural resources that sustain our communities.”
Through projects like this, Epson continues to transform its sustainability goals into meaningful action, encouraging employees to contribute to a greener and more resilient future for local communities.

This year, the festival embraces new horizons by spotlighting French-Filipino co-productions, feminist cinema, and the dynamic realm of animation.
