Amana Waterpark Resort: Pandi, Bulacan


It's summer! As expected most of the companies are having summer outing. This time around, our institution decided to go up north, Bulacan. Last year we spent the team building in Batangas, that was beach and this time around it's a pool.


Adult price for day tour is P 250.00 wasn't able to memorize the prices because we were only given the stub and claim it. The price was all worth it. You just can't bring soft drinks inside. Security on the entrance is strict, which is a good thing.


Still pays to be part of the committee because you will arrive earlier than with your co-employees. Unlike last year, this time no games were prepared so we have more time to stroll. We took advantage of being there early, strolled the huge resort and took some pictures.


The resort is cool! There were life-sizes cartoon characters displayed on the area. Good enough for the youngsters to enjoy. I will consider myself one of them then! See it guys for yourself.












Aside from eating... wouldn't enjoy the outing if I am not going to hit the pool and swim! Well I love swimming and it's one of my hobbies. Enjoyed the huge waves of the wide pool. Making laughs and silly things with my friends! Strutting some skin on the pool too!







The bonding time with my co-employees and friends was great. It was a time to relax and chill from paper works. Sharing good memories with them that will be cherished forever.

Italy displayed their spectacular fireworks display. Other participating countries who performed earlier were South Korea and Malta, United Kingdom and Spain, Finland and Portugal, China and Netherlands, Australia and Canada.




















The Philippines, as always a crowd favorite, though not an official competitor impressed thousand of viewers. There was technical problem happened during the presentation but it was continued after few minutes. What I did not forget, was the moment when most of the people were silent and song of the late Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" was played while the presentation was going on. I really had my goose bumps at that moment.









Eventually, winners were announced after the presentation of the Philippines. First place: Canada. Second Place: Australia and Finland. Third Place: Netherlands. It was a spectacular show indeed!
