On Mother’s Day, The Peninsula Manila honors the women who continue to inspire, nurture, and define us.
Mothers shape our lives in ways both quiet and profound. And for those fortunate enough to still celebrate with them, Mother’s Day is a chance to give something back—time, attention, and meaningful experiences.
In the year The Manila Peninsula celebrates 50 years of hospitality, it honors the women who shape our families with grace and devotion as it marks Mother’s Day on May 10.

From May 1 to 10, The Lobby sets the tone with a refined Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea served from 2:30 to 5 p.m., where delicate pastries, savory bites, and warm conversations come together in one of the city’s most iconic spaces.
On May 10, the experience becomes even more personal with “Baking Memories with Mom,” a cake decorating class paired with afternoon tea. Limited to just 10 mother-and-child pairs, the intimate session offers families a chance to create something sweet together.
For families planning a grand midday celebration, Escolta presents a lavish Mother’s Day brunch on May 10 from 12 to 3 p.m., gathering seasonal favorites and international dishes into a festive spread meant for long lunches and multigenerational gatherings.
Meanwhile, Old Manila offers a more intimate and elevated dining experience from May 8 to 10 with a specially curated four-course lunch and dinner menu, inviting guests to celebrate over thoughtfully plated dishes in a sophisticated setting.
Beyond the dining table, The Peninsula Boutique Pop-up Store at The Lobby extends the celebration with elegant take-home treats available from May 1 to 10. Guests may browse a selection of cakes, chocolate art pieces, pastries, and floral arrangements—thoughtful gifts designed to make Mother’s Day linger a little longer.
