Christmas Party

We had our company’s annual Christmas party last Saturday. Since there were hundreds of employees and dependents, the party was held at the huge soccer field. Each department was to set up a booth, prepare their own food and presentations around the theme ‘Pasko sa Bukid”. Because there’s just two of us in our department, I joined my previous dept while my boss joined the booth for VIP’s and guests.

The highlight of the program was the amazing fireworks display at exactly 6pm, much to the delight of everyone in attendance. And then various prizes were raffled off in between dancing to great music played by a famous live band.

All the hard work paid off because we won first prize for both booth and presentation contests. Here are some photos:

This is the view from behind our booth. You can see the makeshift kitchen sink with the clay jug and native plates with banana leaves.

Notice that the ladies are wearing pink. Last year, we wore red.

That's me wearing a black suit because I was the community's office girl :)

We were doing 'THE PAPAYA" which brought the house down.

This is the makeshift cooking area complete with claypots, nigo, native kudkuran, walis tingting and axe.


The fruit and vegetable-laden table.

Another view of the "kitchen". In front of the hut, we had a real lechon roasting, a live rooster, a large mortar and pestle used for rice and a small nativity set.

Happy holidays!
