We had our Team Building Exercise last Wednesday at Mimosa in Clark, Pampanga. We left the office around 8 AM. It was a 1.5 hour drive from Makati. The venue was a surprise to all of us as we really don’t know where we are going.
We arrived around 9:30 AM and we had a short meal upon arriving. Then we proceed with all the activities. The Team Building Exercise was organized by Global Gutz. It is our second time with them. They first organized for our team building two years ago in South Woods and they prepared fun games for all of us, including playing a paint ball game.
This time, they organized an Amazing Race as our team building exercise. The first activity is the Lost Marines, then the group something walk (I forgot how they call it). The first team to finish the second activity will be the first to start the race.
They provided us with a jeepney to transport us to four locations The first location is the Clark Museum where we have to answer 10 questions and we can get the answers from the exhibits at the museum. Next stop is the cemetery where we have to look for the tomb stone of Michael Edward so we can compute what his age would be if he were still alive. Then we went to the Clark Picnic Grounds where we have to sing two songs from the Videoke machine and our scores will be added. Then we have to go around the path of the Picnic Ground using a trike to transport all the team members. Our last destination is the Nayong Pilipino where we have to search for the clue envelopes.
Both teams got equal scores so both team wins. It was one tiring but fun activity. I was feeling sick at first but got really excited when the facilitator said that we will be doing an Amazing race.
After the race, we had lunch at Holiday Inn and the food was sumptuous. My favorite is the dessert buffet station where they have churos and chocolate fountain.
After lunch, we had a round table discussion about innovation (which is the theme for this year’s team building). Good thing we only have less than an hour for this as we are all tired and sleepy already after the race and after having a heavy lunch.
We left Clark at 3 PM and head back to Makati.
I wonder where we will be going next year.
