The Sunwest Group Holding Company, Inc. (SGHCI) has ended its year with a stylish and elegant Bohemian-themed Christmas Party at the Midas Hotel and Casino in Pasay City last December 14, 2018.
The program started with a Mass Ceremony followed by the welcome remarks of the emcees, Ms. Natalie Grace Go, a newly-hired employee of the Audit Department, and Mr. Garret Sol of Engineering Department.
Each employee represents themselves stylishly and grace their own-style outfit at the party. Some put in extra effort to their outfits as they wore colorful wigs to complement their get-up, while some went for the ‘simple yet elegant’ look. Look at the King and Queen of the Night that definitely stole the show.
If you thought beauty pageants were just for girls, think again.
While glitzy gowns, lip gloss and sparkling tiaras maybe some boys’ worst nightmare but not with Sunwest Gentlemen employees. The highlight of this Bohemian-themed party was the Beauty Pageant with a twist. Nine representatives from different departments showcased their talent, challenged their level of wittiness, and strutted their glamorous “Save Mother Earth” recycled costumes on the runway as if they were competing for crowns in a girl’s world.

• Audience Participation: 25%
• Relevance: 50%
• Confidence/Participation: 25%
(Total: 100%)
