The DA-Philippine Carabao Center (DA-PCC) marked Mental Health Awareness Month with activities promoting wellness and inclusivity on October 30, 2024, at its national headquarters in the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
Organized by the Human Resource Management Section, headed by Cecilia C. Abo, and the Management Systems Audit Office, led by Alvin David, the event aimed to foster a positive and inclusive work environment.
The activity included classic Filipino childhood games like Patintero, Chinese Garter, and Touch Ball, bringing a sense of fun and connection while helping to reduce stress. These activities encouraged employees to unwind, reconnect with their playful side, and build stronger bonds with colleagues.
DA-PCC also hosted a Trick-or-Treat activity for employees and their children, who came dressed in their favorite costumes and enjoyed receiving candies and chocolates as treats.
Another activity conducted by DA-PCC was a Mental Health Bingo card game, where participants completed tasks beneficial for mental health. To win, all bingo tasks had to be finished for a “Black-out.” Eduardo Nastor Jr. and Ma. Cecilia Mariano emerged as winners by submitting their completed Blackout Bingo cards before the deadline.
These activities highlighted DA-PCC’s commitment to supporting mental wellness and creating a healthy work-life balance for employees and their families.
