ACO’s ‘Oscar Awards Night’
The double celebration of Aboitiz and Company’s (ACO) 2005 Employee Recognition Night and 85th anniversary called for nothing less than the transformation of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino’s Arctic Hall into a glamorous Oscar Awards Night setting last Sept. 16.
ACO Cebu and Makati employees (who flew to Cebu just for the special event), came dressed in their finest gowns and suits and experienced a walk down the red carpet, complete with paparazzi and “ambush” interviews.
President and CEO Jon Ramon Aboitiz, in his speech, thanked the “countless men and women who have been part and are part of our company today. To all of you, we say thank you. Because of all of you, Aboitiz is what it is today.”
He reminded everyone that the new Aboitiz brand essence Passion for Better Ways “will be our revitalized outlook to guide us through our future. It will constantly remind and inspire us to continue upholding all that is good about Aboitiz and what we represent. Passion for better ways will be our way of life. We will be driven to lead, to excel and to serve all our stakeholders. Together, this commitment will propel us towards our celebrating our 100 years as a corporation 15 years from today.” Aboitiz honored this year’s service awardees, whose loyalty anddedication to the company have successfully stood the test of time.
The awardees are: 10 years of service – Esmeralda Dano,
Theresa Sederiosa, Sonia Imperial, Edgar Mahinay, Alberto Villaveto and Myrna Tantug; 15 years – Salome Juntilla, Albert Capistrano, Julie Ann Diongzon; 25 years – Melinda Bathan, Sally Misterio, Alvin Arco; and 30 years – Jovy Batiquin, Reynaldo Pancho, Endika Aboitiz Jr. and Stephen Paradies.
Txabi Aboitiz, ACO vice president for Human Resources and Quality, announced this year’s recipient of the Don Ramon Aboitiz Award of Excellence, Alvin Arco, the Power Group’s vice president for finance.
The Don Ramon award is the highest and most prestigious recognition given to deserving team members across the Aboitiz Group. It is named after the company’s patriarch whose legacy ofhard work, integrity and social responsibility has inspired a newgeneration of achievers.
The ACO Recognition Night is an annual tradition that began in 1997. This year’s special double celebration was fun, fabulous and fashionable and truly a night to be remembered!
