June 19, 2021 – Intertek Philippines celebrated Father’s Day virtually.  Our Country HR Director, Ms. MJ Dimatera opened the event by giving a primer on how the Father’s Day Celebration around the world started and mentioned that we in Intertek Philippines also have a “Father Figure” to look up to.

An online contest entitled BBEB Papa Plantito was launched. Due to the pandemic, there has been a recent craze in the country for gardening and the contest was a way to showcase the gardening skills of  all the fathers in Intertek Philippines. Winners were declared based on the number of likes in their post in Facebook. 

Another contest called “Honor Thy Father” was launched to give all employees a chance to give honor and  appreciation by way of special messages to their fathers, grandfathers and husbands.  Adjudged as the the best tribute is from Minerals BL, Elsie Almalvez, who dedicated a short video for her husband. 

An icebreaker game entitled “Which Movie Am I?” was played by all participants and winners received a BBEB merchandise.

To close the event, we surprised our RMD, Richard Gamo with a special video message from his family. His sons have not visited for the last 16 months since the pandemic!

It was indeed a fun and memorable Saturday afternoon, a great way to celebrate Father’s Day!
