Fern Boracay getaway

MANILA, Philippines - Fern, Inc. gave some 60 network leaders and its 2010 awardees an early summer vacation by treating them to an all-expense-paid, three-day/two-night stay in Boracay.

The “Fern Boracay Getaway” held recently was a way of celebrating new milestones achieved during Vision Driven 2010. It also inspired the attendees to reach higher goals for the new decade, as they shouted and reaffirmed: “Lipad Fern, Tuloy ang Tagumpay!”

“2010 has been a breakthrough year for Fern… this group of leaders with us in Boracay were instrumental (to this) breakthrough,” said Hannah D. Crisostomo, Fern’s VP for Business Development and Marketing. “This is our way of thanking them as well as connecting with them.”

Apart from treating the members to sumptuous food and lavish treatments, the group also engaged in different activities such as helmet and cliff diving, banana boat rides and parasailing.

To cap off an eventful day, the attendees also experienced relaxing paraw rides into the sunset. After some rest and soothing showers, the Fern members gathered on the world-famous Boracay White Beach for a Hawaiian-inspired luau that lasted throughout the night and early morning.

Fern president and CEO Tommanny Tan was also on hand to give the event’s keynote speech, and provide the direction for the new year: “Fern’s vision is about sharing prosperity. Prosperity is not just about earning money; prosperity is also (about) having the time to spend it with your family and loved ones.”

“Fern never rests on its laurels. This year we did Boracay. Next year we’re (going to) do something even grander, something even better for them.”
