BANKERS’ SUMMER OUTING AND TEAM BUILDING

  In the Philippines, summer adventure means surfing, snorkeling and swimming. These are activities that Filipinos look forward to every summer. Summer can be the time of the year when people get away from the grind of daily life and just unwind. To welcome the summer season, Rang-ay bankers from Head Office, North, South and Central Branches organized three (3) seperate team building events with exciting games and activities last February 24, 2019 .

Officers and staff from Head Office and Central Branches had the chance to relax, unwind and have fun at the biggest floating playground in Asia with inflatable slides, towers, bridges, human launchers, swings and the world’s first unicorn island- the Inflatable Island, located at Subic Bay Waters, Olongapo City, Zambales.

A total of fifty six bankers were divided into four teams: Red, Pink, Yellow and Green who competed with each other through team building activities such as Amazing Race, “tubig-dagat” relay and Tug of War. The outing develops good bonding among the team members along with some fun activities resulting to great camaraderie that translate to better performance at work.
