FOUNDERS’ AWARDEES’ TRIP 2023

Our Founders’ Awardees enjoyed a week-long trip to Italy, hosted no less than by our Chairman and CEO, Bernie Liu, and our President and COO, Alice Liu. This epic journey brought them to Rome, Siena, Assisi, and Florence.

The Founders’ Award is the most prestigious recognition any member of Team GABC can receive. The award is not about perfection; rather it is about consistent and tenacious performance, fierce loyalty to the company, the continuous pursuit of GABC’s shared goals, and a commitment to the core values – a nod to the legacy that company founders Dame Norma Liu and Knight Leo Lim Liu (+) passed on to the entire GABC family.

GREAT AWARDS TRIP 2023

GREAT Awards stands for GABC's Recognition of Employees' Achievements and Triumphs. It honors deserving employees who exemplify at heart, the company's core values of Integrity, Professionalism, Entrepreneurship and Service. This trip was even more exciting as 86 awardees, from 2020 to 2023, came together to experience the amazing cities of Bangkok and Pattaya.

These GREAT employees enjoyed four days filled with delicious Thai food, beautiful sceneries, and enriching experiences they will surely treasure forever.

THE PURSUIT FOR GREATNESS CONTINUES...

GABC Days at Mirador

After #GABCDaysAtMirador, We Are Looking Forward to a Stronger #OneGABC

The pandemic and the past two years of hybrid work setup that limited face-to-face interaction took a toll on many individuals. As we shift into a post-pandemic environment, GABC leadership wanted to provide a platform for all its employees to come together in an in-person activity that will rebuild connections, encourage emotional healing, and strengthen team unity.

The choice of venue is symbolic because Mirador also means vantage point, a place where one could have a fresh perspective and discover new horizons. The rehabilitation and transformation of the retreat center have been supported by GABC for several years now.

Pit Senyor!

For 33 years now, PENSHOPPE has continuously taken the lead in the creation of the Sinulog Arch, a symbolic fixture standing at the heart of Fuente Osmena, Cebu City. It is our way of honoring Senyor Santo Nino and expressing our deepest gratitude for the many blessings we receive each and every day. This year’s design is inspired by the colorful festivities of the Sinulog where the Santo Nino de Cebu is reverently placed at the center of the Arch. He continues to bring hearts closer to God, as He hears the countless petitions of His people, and unceasingly intercedes on behalf of the faithful.

The SINULOG commemorates the FEAST OF THE SENYOR SANTO NINO. This year’s theme “ONE BEAT, ONE DANCE FOR THE WORLD” calls out to all the faithful to find the courage to be powerful instruments of change for our nation, and for the world.
