Ascott Star Rewards (ASR) Horizons Express Caravan 2025 was one of the biggest annual events of The Ascott Limited Philippines, the globally recognized serviced residence and hospitality brand. This year’s event also served as an extension of Ascott Philippines’ 25th anniversary celebrations and “Horizons” campaign. The two-day caravan held from Nov. 8 to 9, 2025, at the GH Mall in Greenhills, San Juan City, closed on a high note with strong engagement, exclusive travel offers, and meaningful connections, bringing to life the breadth of Ascott Philippines' portfolio across the country. ASR members and guests got to discover and explore the wonderful journey to Ascott Philippines’ 17 properties, from the country’s bustling districts like Makati City and Pasay City to the most festive cities—Cebu, Iloilo, and Bacolod.
Every year, the caravan highlights ASR, Ascott’s loyalty membership program, which rewards members with exclusive perks, and discounts for every stay they book. The event was set to be the perfect opportunity to sign up as an ASR member and access a world of benefits, from enjoying year-round savings at member rates to having welcome vouchers and complimentary services, among others.
During the first day of the caravan on Nov. 8, Ascott Philippines also kicked off the festive season with a meaningful tree lighting ceremony, attended by the group's country general manager, Patrick Vaysse, along with his executive team, assistant regional director for the Department of Tourism - National Capital Region, Ivannovich Agote, SOS Children's Villages Philippines, members of the media, ASR members, clients, and brand partners.

The simple yet meaningful tree was adorned by Ascot Philippines' 25th anniversary limited-edition Cubby plushies. Every purchased Cubby entails a Cubby donation to the SOS Village as the partner beneficiary for the Horizons Express Caravan. As a gesture of gratitude, the kids from the SOS Village had a special dance performance to entertain all guests present during the event.
“The impact of the Ascott Limited Philippines’ recent support to SOS Children’s Village focuses on nutrition and education—two basic rights of every Filipino child,” remarked Ivy Evangelista, SOS Children’s Villages Philippines’ Philanthropy and Partnerships manager. "We look forward to more efforts of delivering impact to the Filipino community and resonating advocacy for the children and young people."
