2023 Team Building Winners

The Team Presentation

Explain the importance of “TEAMWORK”, then provide an actual true situation in your workplace in which teamwork exists with positive results. If Teamwork does not exist in your team, please explain why.

The winner: Design and Engineering Department – Team II (from Left) (Kenneth, Arnel, Jomar, Fung, Michael, Archie, Jeff)


Teamwork is essential for achieving common goals and objectives in any workplace. It involves the collaborative effort of individuals with different skills, perspectives, and experiences to work together towards a shared objective. The importance of teamwork in the workplace cannot be overstated as it not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also fosters positive relationships and creates a sense of shared responsibility and accountability.

One example of teamwork in my workplace was when we had to work on a new project that required a lot of research and data analysis. The project was complex, and we had a tight deadline to deliver it. However, by working together as a team, we were able to share the workload and use each team member’s strengths to achieve the desired outcome. We assigned different parts of the project to each team member based on their expertise, and we met regularly to update each other on our progress and ensure that we were all on track. Through open communication, mutual support, and collaboration, we were able to complete the project on time and deliver high-quality work that impressed our superiors.

On the other hand, if teamwork does not exist in a team, it could be due to various reasons such as poor communication, lack of trust, conflicting goals, or a lack of leadership. Without teamwork, it could lead to a breakdown in relationships, decreased productivity, and missed deadlines. It is crucial to identify and address the root cause of the lack of teamwork to foster a collaborative work environment that enables individuals to work together towards common goals.

A Night to Remember

“The best memories are made around the BONFIRE.”

Getting ready for the night of nights
The night of nights, alright!
Don’t panic, and calm down
Now do we have to prepare a message for everybody?
Dude, I don’t think we have a choice.
Yeah it’s the night of all nights

Gotta looks just right!
It’s the night of our dreams
It’s too late to back out of it,
Don’t know what to say, coz it’s my first day
Been waiting for all our days for this

It’s gonna be a night to remember
Come on now, big fun
It’s going to be the night to last forever
We’ll never, ever forget

Then something changes my world
The most beautiful place,
That I can express my feelings.
Yes you’ll never really notice, but you probably should
Let’s express our feelings
On the night of nights
You know we’re gonna do it right

It’s going to be a night to remember
It’s gonna be the night to last forever
It’s gonna be our night to remember
And never, ever, never, ever, forget

A bonfire is a perfect opportunity to gather your friends, and family, toast wine, roast some marshmallows and hotdogs (can’t make it), and share your feelings with everybody. Everybody has a speech to share and motivational quotes to inspire. There is something about a bonfire that is just so magical. The flame dances in the night and the fire follows the airflow, the smell of the woods smoke in the air, and the feeling of warmth and camaraderie around the fire. No wonder that bonfire has been a part of human culture for centuries.


Why do we Love Snorkeling?

Allow me to provide you with an introduction to snorkeling and its fundamental aspects. Snorkeling is a popular aquatic activity that involves swimming in the water while utilizing a snorkel and mask. The purpose of the mask is to provide clear underwater vision, enabling enthusiasts to observe their surroundings with ease. A snorkel, on the other hand, is a specially designed hollow tube equipped with a mouthpiece at one end. It allows snorkelers to breathe surface air while immersing themselves in the underwater world.

The appeal of snorkeling lies in its versatility, catering to individual preferences and facilitating the creation of remarkable memories during exploration. By engaging in snorkeling, one has the opportunity to discover and appreciate the rich biodiversity present in underwater environments.

Whether you are drawn to the vibrant coral reefs, fascinating marine life, or simply seeking tranquility in the depths, snorkeling offers a unique and fulfilling experience. Embrace the adventure, immerse yourself in the wonders of the underwater realm, and embrace the beauty of nature while forging unforgettable moments.

Many travelers often inquire about the available activities offered at resorts and hotels, particularly those located near the sea. Among the popular choices, snorkeling stands out due to its accessibility, as it requires no formal training, making it suitable for individuals of various skill levels. While we do recommend that snorkelers possess proficient swimming abilities, even those who are less confident in the water can still participate by wearing a life vest or utilizing flotation devices for added safety.

One of the main reasons we love snorkeling is the opportunity it provides to witness the remarkable biodiversity present in these aquatic environments. By submerging themselves in the underwater world, snorkelers can admire the captivating beauty and diversity of marine life. Moreover, snorkeling offers a gateway to explore different destinations across the globe, enabling individuals to encounter unique situations and experiences in various locations. This immersive activity allows people to glimpse into the wonders of the underwater realm, fostering the creation of lasting memories that can be cherished indefinitely.

Snorkeling is a popular activity among people of all ages and backgrounds, and there are several reasons why it is loved by so many. Here are some possible reasons:

  1. Exploration: Snorkeling allows us to explore and discover the underwater world, which is a completely different environment from what we experience on land. This can be a thrilling and exciting experience, as we get to see different types of marine life, corals, and other underwater formations.
  2. Relaxation: Snorkeling can be a very relaxing activity as it requires us to slow down our breathing and movements to be able to observe marine life without disturbing them. The sound of our breathing can be soothing and calming, making it an ideal activity to de-stress and unwind.
  3. Exercise: Snorkeling is a low-impact exercise that can be great for our physical health. Swimming and snorkeling can improve our cardiovascular health, strengthen our muscles, and help us burn calories.
  4. Education: Snorkeling can be an educational experience as it allows us to learn about different marine life and their habitats. It can also raise awareness about the importance of ocean conservation and the need to protect marine ecosystems.
  5. Adventure: Snorkeling can be an adventure as it takes us to different locations, such as coral reefs, shipwrecks, and underwater caves. It can also challenge us to overcome our fears and step out of our comfort zone.

Overall, snorkeling is a fun and exciting activity that can provide a range of physical, mental, and educational benefits, making it an enjoyable and rewarding experience for many people.

Christmas Quotes

I was writing my wish list for Christmas, but I didn’t write anything, because when I thought of you, I realized that I already have everything. – Winsomians

As I sat down to write my wish list for Christmas, my pen poised over the paper, an overwhelming feeling washed over me. It was a moment of profound realization. In that instant, thoughts of you flooded my mind, and it became clear that no material possession could compare to the joy and fulfillment you bring into my life.

The ink remained untouched, for my heart whispered a profound truth: I already possess the greatest gift of all, and it is you. You are the embodiment of love, warmth, and happiness that no present could ever replicate. You fill my days with laughter, my soul with contentment, and my spirit with unwavering happiness.

In that moment, I understood that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in the cherished connections we forge with the people who matter most. You have become the anchor of my existence, the one who completes me in ways I never thought possible. With you by my side, my heart is filled to the brim, and my life is imbued with purpose.

So, as I sat there, pen in hand, my wish list remained blank. Because when I thought of you, I realized that I already have everything. You are my greatest blessing, my wish fulfilled, and my most cherished gift.

2021 Team Building


Upon completing our extensive journey, we reached Palm Beach Resort Batangas at precisely 03:58 pm on May 7, 2021. Eager to rejuvenate ourselves, we commenced our stay by indulging in delectable snacks at the resort’s dining area. Subsequently, we took a leisurely stroll around the premises, relishing the serene surroundings.

The allure of the nearby sea enticed us to take a refreshing dip, and we joyfully swam together, reveling in the moment. Laughter filled the air as we shared amusing anecdotes and lighthearted banter with our colleagues, fostering a sense of camaraderie and connection.

Capturing the essence of our memorable experience, each of us embarked on our own unique photo shoots, showcasing our individual styles and personalities. These photographs became cherished tokens, preserving the essence of our time together and serving as a testament to the bonds we formed.

This event was more than just a casual gathering; it was an opportunity for us to unite, remain united, progress as a cohesive unit, and engage the team building activities. Through Coming Together, Keeping Together, and Moving Together, we solidified our working relationships, reinforcing our commitment to collaborative success.

Our time at Palm Beach Resort Batangas was marked by shared laughter, shared experiences, and shared growth. The memories we forged during our stay will serve as a constant reminder of the value of teamwork and the significance of building strong professional connections.

THE FIRST RUNNER-UP WINNER

The Values:


“Values play a significant role in shaping our lives and relationships. They often find their origins within the family, but they extend beyond to various other sources such as employers and corporate environments. These values serve as the foundation for building meaningful connections with others. It is within the family that the seeds of these values are first sown, influencing the values we adopt as we grow and interact with the world.”

-The Admin Team


THE SECOND RUNNER-UP WINNERS

The Laws

“From this perspective, it becomes evident that the foundation of everything lies in a higher power, often referred to as God. This implies that God holds supremacy over all aspects of existence. It is a widely accepted belief that God embodies the principles of law and order. In our representation, we have chosen to depict the purity and immaculateness associated with our perception of God. The significance of God’s presence at the beginning of all things cannot be overstated. It is worth noting that the Ten Commandments were given to humanity by God, serving as a guide for our collective well-being and moral conduct.”

“Similar to the face of the sun, we humans are aware of our propensity to make mistakes and encounter challenges. However, it is through these trials that we gain enlightenment and wisdom. The difficulties we face ultimately lead us towards solutions and growth.”

“The symbolism of weight in this context suggests the existence of awareness and also emphasizes the presence of elements that transcend the constraints of physical mass. The weight of origin represents the eternal truth that withstands the test of time, regardless of the circumstances that arise.”

“This particular representation signifies the path we must follow and the individuals we must gather in order to achieve the greater good. It highlights the importance of unity and collaboration for the betterment of society.”

“The artwork conveys the concept of judgment within a company or organization. It serves as a reminder that our actions and behaviors will be evaluated based on moral and ethical standards. Judgment in this context emphasizes accountability and the importance of responsible decision-making.”

-The Design & Technical Team II


THE THIRD RUNNER-UP WINNER

The Integrity

“In this depiction, we portray a person holding the divine essence of humanity, representing a connection between the mortal and the divine. The hand specifically signifies the embodiment of “Buddha,” a revered figure who utilized his hands solely for virtuous actions, never for wrongdoing. Thus, the needle serves as a powerful symbol of integrity, as integrity is a quality that is not immediately visible or tangible but is deeply ingrained in human nature.

Furthermore, the radiant glow emanating from the hand symbolizes the various aspects of integrity. It represents the grace, trustworthiness, helpfulness, and respectfulness that are intrinsic to the concept of integrity. Essentially, “integrity” encompasses all the positive qualities that define a virtuous human being.

This reconstruction conveys the idea that integrity is not just an abstract concept, but a fundamental part of our humanity. It encourages us to embody these qualities in our actions, just as Buddha exemplified with his own hands, to contribute to the greater good and uphold the values that make us genuinely noble”.

-The Design & Technical Team I
