Breast Cancer Awareness month at the Peninsula Manila
The Peninsula Manila joins its sister hotels in Asia, North America and Europe in support of breast cancer awareness month throughout October with “Peninsula in Pink,” a group-wide campaign to raise awareness and funds through select, pink-themed offers, including afternoon teas and a specially designed pink ribbon pin. A percentage of this year’s proceeds goes directly to improving and upgrading the facilities of East Avenue Medical Center’s Breast Care Center together with its chosen beneficiary, the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care, Inc.
“In Southeast Asia, the Philippines has the highest incidence of breast cancer,” says The Peninsula Manila general manager Sonja Vodusek. “One in every 13 Filipinos falls victim to it and, as a woman, a sister, a daughter and the general manager of an institution that has worked for more than 38 years with various local organizations to help make a difference in the lives of people, I believe very strongly in the fight against this terrible disease.”
An exclusive “Peninsula in Pink” ribbon pin has been designed to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pins are available for sale in The Lobby for P250, with a portion from each pin sold donated to the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care, Inc.
The Peninsula Manila’s “Peninsula in Pink” October initiatives feature a French twist with French-inspired, pink afternoon teas, desserts and cocktails.

In addition, The “Peninsula en Rose” Afternoon Tea offers may be enjoyed with a glass of rosé Champagne at P1,980 for the set and at P2,350 for the buffet. For every “Peninsula en Rose” Afternoon Tea sold, a donation will be made to the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care, Inc.
