Crimson Boracay donates vaccines to Municipality of Malay

FILINVEST Development Corp. (FDC), through Filinvest Hospitality, Chroma Hospitality, and Crimson Resort and Spa, Boracay, recently signed an agreement for the company to donate 5,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to the people of the Municipality of Malay as a way of supporting its host community to curb the further spread of Covid-19.

The Memorandum of Agreement was formally signed by Chroma Hospitality Country Manager James Montenegro and Malay Acting Mayor Frolibar Bautista during a virtual ceremony held on Aug. 13, 2021. Also present in the event was Patrick Manthe, general manager of Crimson Boracay.

Crimson Boracay is the first hotel/resort on the island to make such a timely donation to the people of Malay. The donation is in keeping with the company’s commitment to ensure the health and safety of all its stakeholders and is part of Chroma Hospitality’s Culture of Clean program for safer, healthier experiences for guests, staff and its host communities throughout the country. Crimson Boracay is honoring its commitment to making Boracay “Better Than Ever,” as the gesture aims to help the people of the island return to a more normal way of life as soon as possible.

For his part, Bautista expressed the municipality’s gratitude for the donation, stating that the vaccines would enable tourism in the island to bounce back from the impact of the pandemic. “This is a very big help to the [people of Malay] in order to complete the possibility of 100-percent vaccination not only of tourism workers [on the front lines], but also of the residents of Boracay,” he said.
