Okada Manila, heralded as Asia’s most spectacular gaming and entertainment destination, will participate in the Biggest Hour for Earth, aligning with millions globally for a critical cause—protecting our singular planet, Earth.

On March 23, Okada Manila will power down its exterior lighting and the iconic Fountain to observe Earth Hour from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. The hotel will also dim its lights in its Coral and Pearl lobbies, wellness centers (The Retreat Spa and The Sole Retreat), and other areas within the integrated resort.

“By turning off our facilities and amenities for just an hour, we conserve energy and save a significant amount of electricity in our operations. These small, yet impactful, actions demonstrate our commitment to sparking positive environmental change,” said Byron Yip, President and Chief Operating Officer of Okada Manila.

This year, Earth Hour invites everyone to dedicate an hour to engaging in enjoyable activities that benefit the planet.

“We each have a role in fostering change and must act together.

We aim to establish exemplary standards for society, not only for today’s betterment but also for the benefit of future generations,” concluded Yip.
