Chinese-Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) celebrates Christmas together 菲華工商總會同仁攜眷赴會所相聚一堂歡慶一年一度聖誕節

The 13th Council Meeting and the 11th Joint Meeting of the Executive Council were held on December 14, 2022 in the 8th floor auditorium. After that, the annual Christmas party was held which was the first time to celebrate Christmas since the epidemic for more than two years. CFBCI members arrived early with their families in a joyful mood and had a lively and festive evening together.

The party started with the greetings from the colleagues. The President of the Board of Directors, Mr. Stephen Sia, led other leaders of the Association to warmly welcome the members and their family members who had just attended the meeting together with the board members, executive directors and directors. The Honorary Chairman of the Association also came to join the meeting, and some colleagues from other provinces also took time out of their busy schedules to attend the meeting, making the atmosphere of the party warm and enthusiastic.

While enjoying the sumptuous dinner, the Association's singers took turns to sing on stage, including old songs and popular songs, which enchanted all the listeners. The Wrong Direction Male Trio, a group of Filipino singer Ramon Villanueva, prepared a number of classic songs in Chinese, Filipino and English for the party and sang them with beautiful harmonies and clear voices.

The Secretariat had prepared some unique games, first of all, a game of “rock-paper-scissors" to let the audience try their luck by giving out PHP 20 each and guessing with each other at the same table. After a tiger fight between the young and old, the final decision was made by the two directors who had a good understanding of each other and could not decide the winner by guessing three punches.

After the first round of games, the atmosphere was heated up and the second round of games was played: “Roll out your prizes/gold"; the long table was divided into several sections, each with 300, 500, 1000 prizes and special prizes, so that colleagues who drew the numbers could roll out the prizes according to their luck.

The third round of “mind-twisting games": guessing Christmas song names, Chinese vocabulary, brand names, etc. let colleagues use their brains to win prizes, and the process was endlessly interesting, with 20 questions that left the audience wanting more.
The last round of game is called “Pull out the Surprise" where eight cups with different prizes and awards and eight lucky people were allowed to pull the threads on the stage to win the prizes. After the announcement of the first three prizes and the special prizes, each of the participants who did not win the prizes were given a consolation prize, so that all the participants of the Christmas party had something to gain.
