Backroom, Inc. gears up for a brand-new start in 2013

MANILA, Philippines - Christmas is always a happy and highly-anticipated Yuletide season of the year for Backroom, Inc. Like what the title of a popular song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” Reunions and parties, exchange gifts, Simbang Gabi, Christmas carols, noche buena and Santa Claus. Indeed, Christmas is a time of merry-making and thanksgiving.

Last Dec. 19, Backroom celebrated its annual Christmas Party at LOCALE in Moomba Plaza 21 Mo. Ignacia cor. Roces Ave., Quezon City. The party began with a Thanksgiving Mass officiated by Reverend Fr. Allan Samonte followed by a sumptuous dinner.

One of the highlights of the party was the videoke singing competition among Backroom staff and guests. Jonathan Valdez hosted the much-awaited contest. Philip Rojas emerged as the champion with his rendition of the song Heaven. He received a cash prize and a Platinum karaoke. Jamie Almario (sang You) won first place while Cynthia Rivera (performed Bailamos) was second place. Jett Valle (sang Just a Smile) and Jay Castillon (performed Wind of Change) placed third and fourth, respectively.    

Parlor games were also played with Backroom staff, artists and guests as contestants.

The cash prize for the Employee of the Year was donated to the victims of Typhoon Pablo.

The night would not be complete without the raffle draw where each staff brought home gifts and cash prizes. Likewise, raffle prizes were drawn for lucky guests.

Throughout the years, doors of opportunities continue to open up for Backroom staff and artists. While some left, new additions came. Friendship and love always prevail.

The Backroom artists present during the party were Bianca Gonzalez, Gelli de Belen, Pooh, direk GB Sampedro, Jayke Reyes, Boy Abunda and the new Backroom talents.

It was a night of fun and friendship as everyone celebrated the Backroom Christmas party. Backroom now gears up for a brand-new start in 2013 with happiness, peace and prosperity for all.
