From discovering new flavors to celebrating beloved Filipino festivals, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls is proving that today’s lifestyle destinations are about much more than shopping. The company has earned 12 recognitions at the 22nd IABC Philippine Quill Awards, highlighting campaigns that brought together food, culture, sustainability, technology, and community in creative and meaningful ways.

Megaworld Lifestyle Malls has added another impressive milestone to its growing list of achievements, earning 12 recognitions at the 22nd IABC Philippine Quill Awards for campaigns that showcase the evolving role of lifestyle destinations in Filipino everyday life.

Among the honors is a prestigious Top Award in the Communication Skills Division, one of the highest distinctions given by the Philippine Quill Awards.

The company also received five Awards of Excellence and six Awards of Merit across initiatives covering strategic communication, experiential marketing, sustainability, cultural placemaking, dining, media relations, social media, customer experience, and emerging technology.

The recognition reflects a new generation of mall experiences—ones that invite people not only to shop, but also to eat, celebrate, connect, discover local culture, and participate in their communities.

World of Flavors Puts Food and Culture in the Spotlight

Leading Megaworld Lifestyle Malls’ winning campaign was World of Flavors, a dining-focused initiative that explored the stories, cultures, and people behind the many flavors found across its lifestyle destinations.

The campaign’s Audio/Visual entry received the Top Award in the Communication Skills Division, while World of Flavors also earned recognition in Media Relations and Social Media.

At its heart, the campaign looked beyond the plate, highlighting the stories and cultural influences that make food such an important part of the travel and lifestyle experience.

By celebrating diverse cuisines and the people behind them, World of Flavors transformed dining into an opportunity for discovery and connection.

More Than Merry Brings a Fresh Take to Holiday Storytelling

The holiday season also proved to be a winning moment for Megaworld Lifestyle Malls through More Than Merry, its Christmas campaign.

The campaign received two awards under Marketing, Advertising and Brand Communications and Audio/Visual Communication, including recognition for its creative use of artificial intelligence in storytelling.

The initiative demonstrated how technology can be integrated into festive campaigns to create engaging and memorable experiences while giving traditional holiday storytelling a contemporary twist.

Wrapped In Style Turns Fashion Waste Into Christmas Décor

Sustainability took center stage through Wrapped In Style, a Christmas installation created in collaboration with Filipino fashion designer Michael Leyva.

The project gave discarded couture materials a second life by transforming them into festive holiday décor.

Its creative approach earned recognition in Sustainability Communications, Breakthroughs and Innovations, demonstrating how sustainability can be integrated into experiential design without sacrificing creativity or visual appeal.

The installation also highlighted the possibilities of creative reuse, turning materials that might otherwise have been discarded into an eye-catching part of the holiday experience.

Megaworld Brings Visayan Festivals to Its Townships

For travelers and culture lovers, some of the most compelling recognitions came from Megaworld’s efforts to bring celebrated Visayan festivals into its lifestyle destinations.

The company showcased major regional celebrations including Dinagyang in Iloilo, the Cebu Mangoes and Cebu Lechon Festivals in Mactan, and MassKara and the Chicken Inasal Festival in Bacolod.

These initiatives gave visitors an opportunity to experience elements of local culture, food, traditions, and community celebrations within Megaworld’s townships.

The regional festival program earned two recognitions in Marketing, Advertising and Brand Communications and Special and Experiential Events.

Cebu Lechon Festival Celebrates a Beloved Culinary Tradition

The Cebu Lechon Festival at The Mactan Newtown received two additional awards, putting the spotlight on one of Cebu’s most iconic culinary traditions.

More than a food event, the festival celebrated the province’s distinctive roasting techniques, local culinary talent, and the communities that have helped make lechon an integral part of Cebuano celebrations.

For visitors exploring Cebu, experiences like this offer a flavorful way to connect with local heritage while enjoying the province’s celebrated food culture.

Paw Club Access Makes Lifestyle Destinations More Pet-Friendly

Megaworld Lifestyle Malls also received recognition for Paw Club Access, a digital loyalty and rewards platform created specifically for pet owners.

The initiative was recognized under Customer Relations for creating a more convenient and engaging pet-friendly mall experience.

Through rewards, dedicated pet access, amenities, and community activities, Paw Club Access responds to the growing demand for destinations where people can enjoy more experiences with their pets.

It also reflects how lifestyle malls are adapting to changing consumer habits, creating spaces designed around the needs of modern families—including four-legged members.

Redefining the Modern Lifestyle Mall

The 12 Philippine Quill Awards recognitions underscore Megaworld Lifestyle Malls’ approach to creating destinations that are increasingly connected to the interests and lifestyles of their communities.

“We continue to shape lifestyle destinations that evolve with the needs of our customers and communities. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to creating experiences and connections that make our malls more relevant to everyday life and more meaningful to the communities we serve,” said Graham Coates, First Vice President and Head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

Organized by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Philippines, the Philippine Quill Awards is one of the country’s leading business communication awards programs. It recognizes communication initiatives that demonstrate strategy, purpose, effective execution, and measurable impact.

As the retail and commercial development arm of Megaworld Corporation, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls operates lifestyle destinations across the Philippines, creating spaces where shopping, dining, entertainment, culture, sustainability, and community come together.

With its latest haul of awards, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls continues to show how the modern mall can be more than a retail destination—it can be a place to discover Filipino food and culture, celebrate local traditions, embrace sustainability, and create meaningful everyday experiences.
