It is also RED Bagani Evasco’s first conduct of sportsfest since he assumed office in 2020.

β€œI am happy to see all of you with all that smiling eyes, smiling faces, the energetic vibe and very active physique. I am happy that finally, we are able to sit and cheer next to each other.”, RED Evasco said in merriment.

More than just a festivity, the said sportsfest is one of the office’s interventions to promote health and wellness as well as social support through camaraderie among employees.

The program is a proven approach that provides several benefits to having healthy workforce. It is also more needed than ever considering the effects of pandemic that took a toll on people’s wellbeing.
