Dubai (Pakistan Point News - 25th Nov, 2019) A Filipina who has been working in Dubai for 14 years has won the “Cebu Pacific Mailbox at Rove Hotels” contest, bagging three Cebu Pacific roundtrip Manila-Dubai flights, a three-day stay at Rove at The Park; and tickets to Dubai Parks and Resorts for her family.

Maryann Paglinawan, an executive secretary, wrote the winning letter to Santa. The Cebu Pacific Mailbox at Rove Hotels encouraged Filipinos to write a letter about their wish to bring their family to Dubai for the holiday season.

“Whatever we are doing here the UAE, all the sacrifices and hard work is for our families in the Philippines. And I am just one of the many overseas Filipinos dreaming of spending our Christmas with them.

I thought I won’t be able to see them this year, that is why I am very grateful to Cebu Pacific and Rove Hotels for giving my family a chance to visit Dubai for the holidays,” said Paglinawan.

The special gift package was awarded at the exclusive homecoming event organised by Cebu Pacific and Rove Hotels at Rove City Centre. Cebu Pacific and Rove Hotels presented it to Paglinawan, represented by the airline’s corporate communications director Charo Lagamon, and international marketing manager Louise Ingrid Salud, and the hotel’s senior events manager Bianca Litonjua, and senior marketing manager Miguel Roxas.

“Through our exciting collaboration with Rove Hotels, we are delighted to give UAE-based Filipinos an opportunity to once again feel what it was like to celebrate the holidays the Filipino way.

I would also like to congratulate the winner of Cebu Pacific Mailbox at Rove Hotels contest and wish her to have an unforgettable holiday,” Lagamon said.

Rove Hotels Marketing Manager Miguel Roxas, for his part, said they are happy that Paglinawan’s family will get to enjoy the holiday season at Rove at The Park.
