AP Team and the Tagaytay Rendezvous
By: Maria Laurice E. Pelayo
The 25th of July 2014 dawned as an ordinary day for most of the teams in the Finance Shared Service (FISS) but the Accounts Payable team, under Ms. Hersie M. Andico, have taken their well-deserved break, laid down their thinking caps, and packed their bags for a day of adventure, excitement and fun at Gratchi’s in Tagaytay City.
Not your ordinary team building.
The day started out with hints of bad weather but the sun did shine despite the not-so-friendly weather forecasts for the day (as if Divine intervention took care of the imminent rain caused by some Low Pressure Area). Otherwise, who would’ve imagined the whole AP Team indulging themselves (under the beautiful sun rays that only Tagaytay could muster, that is) with outdoor activities such as Rope Challenge, Fishing, and Trekking?
Indeed, said activities brought out such enthusiasm from the team. Though the activities were undeniably physically challenging, the members of the AP Team proved themselves as equally determined to overcome the obstacles prepared for them and thus succeeded with flying colors (amidst gales of laughter, tons of sweat, and well--bits of bruises here and there). The experience definitely upgraded the definition of “adventurous” a notch higher for the AP Team and did cause the bond amongst the members to be strengthened further.
The Moves, the awards, the winners… After the action-packed activities concluded in the morning, the Accounts Payable Team then proceeded with the program prepared for their getaway. Said program was emceed by Ms. Ledivinia Rojas of ASEAN and EMEA team and consisted primarily of the highlights for the day: the GROUP DANCE contest and the awarding. Four groups battled it out with their sizzling and funky moves; each of the group allowed no favors and evidently showed no mercy. However, though each group has provided exemplary performance, Group 1 (led by Gerlie Bagares) emerged
