CBK Hardware, Inc. employees celebrated their CBK Christmas party with a theme: “A Christmas Candyland” last December 14, 2022, at the Swiss-Belhotel, Blulane, Manila. This is the first face-to-face Christmas party of CBK Hardware, Inc. since the pandemic hit in 2020.
The event venue was decorated with giant lollipops, chocolates, fluffy cotton candies, and yummy gumdrops.
The CBKians were dressed to the nines as they showed off their candy-inspired outfits. They were also treated to a free souvenir photo at the Candyland-themed photo booth. Among those stylish CBKians, who stood out at the party and won the Best Dressed awards were Ivan Teopaco and Nina Katrine Bayanin.
To make it more fun, the employees were grouped into four teams: Candy Cane, Chocolate, Gummy Bear, and Lollipop. Team Chocolate’s Raymond Peneda and Rose Ann Carato, who wore matching outfits a la Willy Wonka, earned their golden ticket as this year’s Mr. and Ms CBK. Meanwhile, team Lollipop’s Adrian Sangcayo and Mary Vic Eripol were named first runners up.
Talented CBKians from different teams also entertained the crowd as they danced to popular TikTok songs. Team Gummy Bear danced their way to becoming the CBK Got Talent champion. Teams Chocolate and Candy Cane were declared first runner-up and second runner-up, respectively.
As gift-giving is the essence of Christmas get-togethers, raffle prizes were given away to lucky employees. During the raffle draw for major prizes, eight lucky winners of three 43’’ Samsung Smart TV, two 50’’ Samsung Slim Smart TV, a Samsung S22 phone, a Samsung 65’’ Smart TV and a Samsung 75’’ Smart TV. The two 50” Samsung Slim Smart TV were sponsored by Eurostream. But gift-giving did not stop there, smartphones, kitchen appliances, washing machine and grocery packs were also given as minor prizes.
CBK Hardware, Inc.’s Executive Vice President Jan Vincent Cobankiat gave an inspirational holiday message and reminded everyone the value of gratitude and love in this holiday season.
The CBK Candyland Christmas is one of the many ways to celebrate the company’s success and culture of family, and thanksgiving.
