competition at the North Star Armory Shooting Range in Makati Cinema Square.
 The week of
fun and excitement culminated on August 8 with a day-long schedule of
activities that started with a Thanksgiving Mass State of the Business
Address and Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile gave a hearthwarming inspirational
talk. Our Chairman, Cristina Ponce Enrile, also sent a short message of
inspiration. The new locations of our offices were blessed and afterwards,
a treasure hunt was conducted.
After a free lunch for all employees of JIC, the fun games began. There
were four teams that participated. The Yellow Team was composed of Godfrey
