Home Credit Philippines Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary With A Fantastical Outing For 14,000 Employees To Enchanted Kingdom And Other Venues.

Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) recently held celebratory events for its 14,000-strong workforce in honor of its 10th anniversary. For the first time in the company’s history, the top consumer financing firm invited its employees, their families, and friends to celebrations held at different resorts and convention centers around the country.

An enchanting day in the Enchanted Kingdom was planned for more than 6,700 employees from Metro Manila and neighboring regions, guaranteeing maximum fun. For those two days, the theme park was off-limits to the public. Workers received two standard day passes, spending money, a complimentary photo to commemorate the occasion, and a reimbursement for their transportation costs. Additionally, each employee may bring up to five guests.

Its promise of “no small roles” was kept. Employees from HCPH’s 30 regional offices enjoyed a variety of outdoor and aquatic activities at adjacent resorts and conference centers to honor the company’s “everyone matters” motto.

Since we opened for business in the Philippines a year ago, the Home Credit family has expanded greatly. In just a decade, we went from 158 personnel to the staggering 14,000 we have today. To keep our employees in peak emotional and physical health during this expansion, we require their full participation. Everyone here knows how important our employees are to our business’s success. We respond by giving them chances to succeed on a personal level and redirecting their attention to other parts of their lives, such as their mental health. Chief People Officer Alpha Omega Aquino of HCPH noted that this work break is one of several initiatives to encourage a healthy work-life balance in honor of the company’s tenth anniversary.

SM Store Hosts Shop & Share a Toy Event in Celebration of Christmas

Many Filipino traits are well-known, including the countrymen’s generous spirit, unending devotion to family, and special reverence for the holiday season. The longest Christmas celebration in the world starts as soon as the “ber” months start, earning the country fame. Beyond the celebrations and feasts, though, this time of year represents a resolve to help those less fortunate, especially children.

In light of this, the SM Store launched the “Shop & Share a Toy” campaign from December 1–15, 2023, to inspire its loyal customers to brighten the lives of children around the country. The campaign enabled customers to get a new toy for just P100 with a minimum single-receipt purchase of P3,000 at any SM Store. It was a joint effort of the SM Foundation, SM Cares, and well-known non-governmental organizations such as World Vision, Good Neighbors Philippines, and UNICEF Philippines. Children in the age range of three to seven received five thousand (5,000) brand-new toys from different parts of the nation as a result of this joint effort.

Sharing and giving are important values at the SM Store. This holiday season, “Shop and Share a Toy” bring less fortunate children delight through a meaningful collaboration among SM Store, partner NGOs, and our dedicated shoppers. Mr. Dhinno S. Tiu is the executive vice president of the SM Outlet.

There are 365 days in a year, and every child in the Philippines deserves to feel the pure delight of a new toy, just like any other child would. Thanks to your generosity, SM Store was able to help less fortunate children celebrate Christmas in style while simultaneously providing them with the tools they needed to develop holistically through play. As the Christmas season begins, SM Store hopes that everyone will continue to give gifts in the spirit of the season, which will help spread love, generosity, and compassion.
