RUDOLF LIETZ, INC. recently held its 34th Annual Company Outing at Piña Colina Resort, Tagaytay last 22-23 March 2014. Less than an hour away from Manila, the resort provided a venue for RLI employees to showcase their mental and physical athleticism through fun games and activities. This annual event also serves to strengthen the family-like bond of the company and its employees.

The company outing started with a prayer and a message from the CEO, Rudolf Lietz. First on the list of activities is the Cheering competition wherein 3 groups—Red, Blue and Yellow—presented their group cheer to the judges.

The CEO then gave a brief history of RLI. He showed photos of the company from his archives and shared the story of how the company started and grew into what it is today. This allowed both old and new employees to understand and appreciate the company and its values.

After lunch, the activities resumed with a series of mentally stimulating games such as The Great Egg Drop and Relate To People.

There were also more physical games such as Maria Went To Town and Sack Race. The main event, however, was the Amazing Race Filipino Style, which has a series of traditional Filipino games (i.e. Tumbang Preso, Sipa, Luksong Lubid, and Palayok) spread out through various stations in the resort’s obstacle course that each team must complete with the shortest possible time.

Once the teams have rested, the judges headed by the Vice President, Elizabeth Lietz gave the awards for the winners of the competition. Prizes such as Most Appealing, Most Energetic, Most Athletic, MVP (Male and Female), and Best Leader were handed out to deserving participants. Both Red and Yellow teams won the Cheering contest. As for the winner,

Blue team bagged 3rd place,

Yellow team placed in 2nd,

and Red team was the overall champion.

The program ended with a closing message from the VP.

From the rest of the evening until morning the next day, all participants were given the chance to enjoy the resort’s facilities and their much-needed R&R.
