Around 450 Lopez Group employees and their family members and friends attended the HR Council-Lopez Lifelong Wellness Walk the Talk at The Greenery in Baliuag, Bulacan on March 19, 2016.
Sponsored by Energy Development Corporation (EDC), OML Center and Lopez Holdings Corporation, the “hostilities” jump-started with EDC vice president Beth Nasol delivering the invocation.
With OML Center policy researcher Marianna Vargas taking on the emceeing chores, Atty. Maria Amina Amado from Lopez Holdings led the recitation of the Lopez Credo and Values.
Welcoming the participants was OML Center executive director Marianne Quebral. First Balfour SVP Carlos Salonga, meanwhile, introduced the Zero Hero project.
The concept of this project is that by achieving a zero-waste lifestyle, we can become a hero. In a nutshell, it is living well by throwing away less; by using less, we are actually doing more.
March birthday celebrators were recognized and presented with a birthday cake, and the traditional stretching/exercise portion got under way as John San Pedro and the Rockwell Club led the crowd in warming up.
Before trudging the planned walking route, Rolly Vargas from the EDC Emergency Response Team delivered a short safety briefing to further ensure the safety of the walkers along the way.
The Greenery is a wedding events place but is also a hub for any special occasion. It has three theme-based venues—pavilion, lighthouse and open garden—that can accommodate the creativity of the bride and groom in creating their perfect event. (Story/Photo by:
