Looking for a sweet way to support a cause this October, or Pinktober rather? Marco Polo Ortigas Manila has brewed up the perfect treat just for you. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the hotel is lighting up the Ortigas skyline in pink and offering a special Pink Drink in partnership with Cardinal Santos Medical Center.

The Pink Latte, priced at P200, is a coffee-based drink with a twist—healthy beetroot syrup gives it a stunning pink hue that’s sure to catch the eye because it’s as pretty as it is delicious! Blending creamy milk with a smooth espresso, this drink offers a balanced mix of subtle sweetness and rich coffee flavor, and hey if you want to opt for non-dairy milk alternatives, just ask the friendly baristas and they’ll be happy to change it up for you.

But this drink is more than just a visual and flavorful delight—every sip supports breast cancer patients in need. "Proceeds from the Pink Latte will be generously donated to the Cardinal Medical Charities Foundation, Inc. (CMCFI), which provides financial assistance for underprivileged patients seeking breast cancer treatment," shared Cardinal Santos Medical Center President and CEO, Mr. Raul Pagdanganan. 

Marco Polo Ortigas Manila General Manager Fredrik Johansson also expressed his gratitude, saying, “We are proud to continue our breast cancer awareness advocacy through this Pinktober campaign. It’s a privilege to be able to contribute in even a small way to the fight against this illness that affects so many lives in the Philippines."

Enjoy your Pink Latte in one of Marco Polo Ortigas’ stunning restaurants—Café Pronto, Cucina, Lung Hin, and Connect Lounge—all known for their elegant interiors that perfectly complement the city’s vibrant energy. 

The campaign runs until October 31, so don’t miss out on the chance to sip for a cause and be part of something meaningful this Pinktober.
