The complete reopening of the luxury hotel in March signaled the end of a two-year interruption to its business operations in the wake of disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
For the entire month of April, Winford Manila Resort & Casino (WMRC) is not only making a comeback, but also celebrating a milestone—its 5th Anniversary since launching on April 17, 2017. Aptly dubbed SINGKO SWERTE, the month-long extravaganza offers members and guests irresistible deals and special attractions for a limited time only.
“Our goal in 2022 and beyond is to regain the strong momentum we enjoyed in early 2020, now that things are finally returning to normal,” said Jeffrey Evora, President and Chief Operating Officer, WMRC.
“We are welcoming back guests to Winford Manila with their safety being our top priority not only to ensure they have peace of mind, but so they will feel like they are in a place that is as safe as their own home.”
During the closure, WMRC focused its efforts on making the necessary safety enhancements throughout the property in preparation for the ‘next normal’, earning it the Safety Seal Certification—an exclusive distinction given to accommodation establishments that implement and enforce safety protocols set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) to combat the spread of COVID-19.
On the entertainment front, award-winning and multi-talented artist Ice Seguerra will perform live on stage on April 30 at Hippodrome Bar Lounge located on WMRC’s second floor. A former child star, Seguerra has appeared in more than 30 movies and television shows to date. It wasn’t until his teen years that he turned his attention to music, with his single “Pagdating ng Panahon” scoring him a major hit in 2001. He went on to win against big names like Bituin Escalante, cementing his status as one of the most sought-after performers in the country.
Other SINGKO SWERTE exclusives include a room deal for a one-night stay in WMRC’s spacious Deluxe Room with breakfast buffet for two for as low as PHP3,600 nett. Foodies are also in for a treat with a brunch buffet featuring unlimited lechon at Spanish-Filipino fusion restaurant Copa de Manila located on WMRC’s ground floor from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on April 24.
Major prizes are up for grabs in the SINGKO SWERTE raffle where participants can earn a chance to win one or more of 15 brand new CFMOTO 400 NK, HONDA CLICK 125i, and YAMAHA MIO GEAR 125S motorcycles, plus a variety of big ticket items from any of 15 ongoing raffle draws until April 30.
SINGKO SWERTE is bannered under ‘Panalo ka sa San Lazaro’, a WMRC campaign geared to help boost the economy and jumpstart tourism in the area. The initiative also aims to promote the establishment’s world-class facilities as being at par with the metro’s 5-star hotels minus the prohibitive rates, thus offering guests a ‘win-win’ (panalo) experience in San Lazaro—where WMRC is situated—and where the historic Hippodrome horse racetrack once stood from 1912 to 2003.
