The morning’s program started with an emotional tribute to Gina Lopez (GL), chairman of ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc., who passed away on August 19.

FPIP president Giles Puno and First Balfour president Anthony L. Fernandez welcomed the participants to the walk, which was sponsored by their respective companies.

In addition to the customary warm-up and safety briefing, the milestone WTT featured a tree-planting activity and raffles where minor and major prizes were given away. The WTT’s most dedicated company and individual participants over the past season were also feted by the WTT team.

The inaugural WTT was held at the Meralco compound in 2006 and featured talks from GL, Creative Programs Inc. president Ernie Lopez and Lopez Group HR Council head Cedie Lopez-Vargas, among others.

The WTT is organized by the HR Council and Lopez Lifelong Wellness.
