The Season of Tribute: A New Way to Celebrate the People Who Matter

The “Ber” months are here—and in the Philippines, that means the holiday spirit is already beginning to unfold.

But before the Christmas parties, reunions, gift-giving, and festive gatherings take over our calendars, The Tribute Hotel is inviting everyone to pause and celebrate something even more meaningful: the people who make life worth celebrating.

This September, the hotel launches “The Season of Tribute,” a heartfelt campaign built around a simple question:

Who deserves your tribute?

It could be your parents or grandparents who have always been there. A partner who makes ordinary days special. Friends who have stayed through the years. A mentor who helped shape your journey. Colleagues and employees whose hard work often goes unnoticed. Or even an everyday hero who deserves to hear, “Thank you.”

A tribute doesn’t always have to come wrapped in a box.

Sometimes, it’s a meal shared around a table. A weekend spent together. A long-overdue catch-up with an old friend. A quiet celebration with someone special. Or simply creating a moment that tells someone, “You matter.”

And that is where The Tribute Hotel hopes to make the season even more memorable.

Turn Gratitude Into an Experience

Located in Quezon City, near the vibrant Tomas Morato district, The Tribute Hotel offers a welcoming setting for the moments that deserve to be remembered.

Gather the family for a meal at Don Tomas, enjoy a relaxing city staycation with someone special, or bring your favorite people together for an intimate celebration.

Because sometimes, the best way to show appreciation isn’t by finding the perfect gift—it’s by making time for the people who matter.

The Season of Tribute is designed to carry that spirit throughout the final months of the year, with each month shining a light on a different group of people deserving of recognition.

October: A Tribute to the People Behind the Work

As companies begin preparing for year-end celebrations, October turns the spotlight toward employees, teams, colleagues, and partners.

These are the people who help turn ideas into results, keep businesses moving, and make achievements possible. It’s a perfect time to step away from the daily routine and celebrate the people behind the work.

November: A Tribute to the Journey

November takes on especially meaningful significance for The Tribute Hotel as it celebrates its second anniversary.

The milestone becomes an opportunity to recognize the guests, employees, partners, and community members who have been part of the hotel’s journey.

Two years is more than a number—it’s a collection of stories, connections, celebrations, and memories.

December: A Tribute to Togetherness

And then comes December—the heart of the Filipino holiday season.

The Season of Tribute culminates in a celebration of togetherness, welcoming families, friends, balikbayans, colleagues, and loved ones for Christmas parties, reunions, holiday stays, and festive gatherings.

After all, the holidays have always been about coming home to the people who matter.

Give More Than a Gift

The holiday season often becomes a race to find the perfect present.

But perhaps this year, the more meaningful gift is something that cannot be bought: time, appreciation, and a moment together.

The Season of Tribute encourages everyone to start the giving season with gratitude—to look around and recognize the people whose presence, kindness, hard work, love, or friendship has made a difference.

So, before the gifts are wrapped and the Christmas lights go up, take a moment to ask yourself:

Who deserves your tribute?

Then make the moment count.

ALEJO RESTAURANT AND BAR AT CITADINES ROCES QUEZON CITY LAUNCHES NOSTALGIC FILIPINO CLASSICS WITH A MODERN TWIST

The new menu at Alejo Restaurant & Bar, the dining spot for Citadines Roces Quezon City, allows customers to rediscover Filipino comfort food. Alejo is located at 100 Don A. Roces Avenue in Quezon City. The restaurant is changing the dining landscape by combining old and new ideas.

The new menu is based on the premise that food is memory, and it fits with the idea of “Where memory meets flavor.” It lets people go back to the foods they ate as kids, from simple meals to memorable family gatherings, but with strong, modern twists that make them taste better for today’s diners.

The New Menu: Something Old, Something New

Guests can enjoy Filipino favorites that have been given a new twist. Each dish is meant to bring back memories while also bringing new culinary surprises:

Thrice-Cooked Lechon Kawali is a new take on the Filipino classic that is cooked to a beautiful golden crisp. Alejo’s Fried Chicken is a classic comfort food that Alejo has made even better with his own style.


Baby Squid in Olive Oil is a dish that comes from both Filipino and Spanish cultures. Salmon Kilawin in a Cup is a new twist on a classic dish that is cool and tart. Grilled Pork with Cerveza Sauce: Pork with a strong beer-based sauce for a tasty variation. Camaron Gising-Gising is shrimp mixed with a spicy, creamy sauce for a strong bite.

Chef Timothy Javier Trinidad is behind the flavors.

Chef Timothy Javier Trinidad, an award-winning chef who puts his heart and everything into the Alejo kitchen, is the creative force behind the menu. Chef Timothy is known for his love of tradition and his desire to try new things. He takes Filipino native favorites and turns them into dishes that are both warm and interesting.


Chef Timothy explains, “Every dish has a story.” “We wanted to capture the feeling of nostalgia—the food you grew up with and shared with family—and present it in a way that speaks to both the past and the present.”

A Filipino Cultural Dining Experience

Alejo is more than just a restaurant; it’s a location where cuisine connects the past and the present. Alejo wants to make experiences that touch both the heart and the taste buds by putting new spins on old Filipino flavors.

The unveiling of the new menu is an exciting step for Alejo as it works to become a place where people can have excellent meals in Quezon City. It fits perfectly with the lifestyle experience at Citadines Roces.

You can now get the new menu every day at Alejo Restaurant & Bar, which is at Citadines Roces Quezon City.
