Cebu Teambuilding Services Arranges Group Outing for Laguna Technopark Environmental Management Group
Laguna Technopark Environmental Management Group (LTEMG) was satisfied with the service that Cebu Teambuilding Services have provided for them the last year. They again engaged the services of Cebu Teambuilding Services this year for their lakbay-aral and team bonding trip to Bohol and Cebu. LTEMG is an association of environmental and safety officers of locators at the Laguna Technopark, the largest export processing zone in the country.
The group touched down at the Mactan Cebu International Airport in the early morning of April 9, 2015. They proceeded directly to the port of Cebu where they boarded the 8:45 a.m. SuperCat fast ferry trip bound for Tagbilaran City where a full schedule awaited them.
Day 1
Lunch at Ati-Atihan Restaurant
Upon arrival at Tagbilaran City, the group headed straight to Ati-Atihan Restaurant for lunch. Chicken Inasal, Pancit Canton, and Kinilaw na Isda were the main dishes served. After lunch, we then proceeded to Maribojoc town.
Binhi sa Panginabuhian Demo Farm & Training Center
The first official stop in the lakbay-aral was at the Binhi sa Panginabuhian Demo Farm and Training Center in Barangay Bayacabac, Maribojoc town. There, the group learned about how organic farming and livestock raising helped alleviate the poverty incidence in Maribojoc town. Even the good mayor Jun Evasco came by to meet the group and did part of the briefing himself.

La Veranda Beach Resort
After an exhausting tour at the Maribojoc town's organic demo farm under the heat of the scorching summer sun, the group headed to the La Veranda Beach Resort in Catarman, Dauis, Panglao Island, Bohol. They will be staying for the night. The party was too tired to do any of the planned team building activities. Instead, everyone opted for some rest and recreation. Some just lounged at the bar and restaurant having a few drinks and chitchat with their friends. Dinner was served at around 6 o'clock while a band played music to entertain the guests.

Alona Beach
Later in the night, a small portion of the group ventured into famous Alona Beach in Panglao town. While April 9 was a national holiday, the crowd was still not as huge as it is on weekends. Nevertheless, the mostly male group settled for a few beers. They made the most of the evening chatting and joking around with their friends, old and new.

Day 3
Cebu
Right after the Bohol Countryside Tour, the LTEMG pack headed back to Cebu City aboard SuperCat. The group left Tagbilaran City Port at 5:25 p.m. and arrived at the Port of Cebu a little past 7 o'clock. A Tim Transport bus was waiting to take them to their hotel at Escario Central. They had dinner at Zubuchon. Cebu Teambuilding Services managing consultant Thadz Engaling arranged some tour and recreational activities for the group while they stayed for a night in Cebu before going back to Laguna. On the night of April 10, Thadz accompanied some of the tour participants to some of the party joints in Cebu City. On April 11, 4 vans were arranged to ferry tour participants to places of interest around Metro Cebu. They flew out of Cebu on the same day.
