The program started with games that everyone enjoyed. First are our all-time favorite and never absent game at birthday parties, Trips to Jerusalem. The mechanics, 5 pairs will compete until only one pair remain. But there’s a twist, the couple has to stick together and when the music stops, it would be the ladies who need to carry the guys. The winners of this game were Mr. Benjie Dayo from the Chairman of the Board (COB) Department and Ms. Chloe Ann Lanzado of Audit Department. Both of them received a gift certificate.
Another game is Paper Relay, five guys and girls have to compete. The mechanics, each player of the group has to use their lips to pass the paper to the next. More like a kiss, actually, but only a paper between the lips. Sounds awkward? Not for the girls, passing the paper from their lips to the next one is a piece of cake, but the boys, they can’t even pass the paper from the first person to the second. Of course, the ladies won effortlessly. These ladies received a gift certificate as a prize as well.
The main event of the program is the search for Mr. and Ms. Valentine. The mechanics are very simple. Each employee will get 2 paper hearts. Then they will give one heart to a girl and the other one to a guy, more like a voting contest. Once everyone is done, In photo: Mr. Dayo (L) and Ms. Lanzado (R) pose with the Starbucks gift check they received as a prize. it’s time to count who received the most hearts.
