By Jennifer Franco, Information Officer, Manila<br />
This year’s crew and family gatherings of<br />
<strong>Odfjell</strong> in the Philippines (OiP) opened in<br />
Cebu on 4 May with 113 participants composed<br />
of vacationing crew and families of<br />
our seafarers from Cebu, Bohol and other<br />
nearby provinces.<br />
Representing OiP during the event were<br />
Crew and Family Affairs Head, Agnes<br />
Enesio, Payroll Officer Jesus Hernandez and<br />
Crewing Manager Tareyton del Pilar, who<br />
conveyed information regarding Company<br />
updates, Ship Management’s Safety Culture<br />
Programme, and other projects initiated for<br />
<strong>Odfjell</strong> crew and allottees. OiP also invited<br />
guest speakers to tackle special topics on<br />
financial planning and wellness, as well as<br />
medical and health benefits.<br />

Enesio said that this year’s crew and family<br />
gatherings puts premium focus on disseminating<br />
Company and project updates<br />
to participants: - Unlike previous conferences<br />
wherein we included light-hearted<br />
activities, this year, we opted to allot more<br />
time for discussions and open forum with<br />
the participants. We have lots of updates/<br />
information that need to be shared. Since we<br />
aim to have open and honest communication<br />
with our crew and allottees, we believe that<br />
reinforcing our transparency and giving more<br />
focus on information dissemination will help<br />
us achieve this objective. Whilst next year’s<br />
gatherings can be mixed with a little more fun,<br />
we believe that this year’s conference format<br />
will yield positive results.<br />
OiP's <strong>2013</strong> Summer outing<br />
Fun in the sun, mud and rain!<br />
By Jennifer Franco, Information Officer, Manila<br />
Despite the unpredictable weather in the<br />
Philippines, the sun shone and warmed<br />
the chilled air last 29 April as <strong>Odfjell</strong> in the<br />
Philippines (OiP) opened its summer outing<br />
at the Lake Caliraya Resort in Laguna.<br />
HR, in cooperation with the Employee Board,<br />
prepared a good mix of challenging and fun<br />
team building activities for the staff during the<br />
outing. From obstacle relays to poster making,<br />
swimming and belting it out at ‘Videoke’, the<br />
various activities brought out the fun and the<br />
creative side of the personnel.<br />
Thank you to HR, the Employee Board and to<br />
all personnel for making this year's summer<br />
outing a success!<br />
