As the holiday spirit enveloped the final month of 2024, ECo Global and ECOSLAi hosted an unforgettable Thanksgiving party at Shangri-La Makati on December 9th. The event, attended by esteemed clients, partners, and colleagues, featured a vibrant theme of red, green, and gold, creating an elegant ambiance for the evening.
The program, co-hosted by Marvin Morante, Cleo Peñanueva, Grace Aquino and Danelle Aguirre, began with a special video presentation highlighting ECOSLAi, ECo Global’s breakthrough core banking solution for rural banks, its extraordinary vision and significant milestones for 2024. This was followed by heartfelt acknowledgements and recognition of our pilot clients from Upland Rural Bank of Dalaguete and First Mindoro, as well as our partners from FlexM, Mindox, Triseed, Finscore, Unawa, InsiteMY and Cardtrend, celebrating the spirit of collaboration that made this event possible.
The dinner buffet offered a delightful array of mouthwatering dishes and indulgent desserts, catering to every palate. Live acoustic music by Michael Ocampo and friends provided the perfect backdrop for dining and conversation, while engaging performances by Danelle Aguirre entertained the guests.
In recognition of the strong bonds within ECo and appreciation for their dedication, loyalty awards were presented to employees who had served the company for 5 (Karlyn Amoyo and CJ Rivera) and 10 years (Grace Aquino). The highly anticipated raffle was a highlight of the evening, with everyone winning a prize, ranging from Bluetooth speakers and tower fans to computer chairs and headphones. Major prize winners took home an impressive selection of items, including a Mi Pad, Galaxy Watch, 55-inch television, air conditioning unit, and the grand prize winner, Leonard Eroles, won a trip for two to HK Disneyland.
The evening concluded on a high note with closing remarks and a heartfelt video presentation thanking ECo’s founder and CEO, Ms. Elen Dela Rosa. Singer-songwriter Michael and host Marvin then led guests in singing and dancing to ECOSLAi’s theme song, “Echoing,” as the after-party began. The dance floor came alive in vibrant celebration, as the spirited people of ECo danced the night away in full festivity.
