The National Nutrition Council-NCR (NNC-NCR) Achieve Team had their two-day teambuilding activity on May 19-20, 2022 at the Good Food Farm, Magdalena, Laguna to strengthen unity among members and promote enthusiasm to achieve performance excellence.

This year's teambuilding, with the theme “May the F.O.R.C.E be with us”, emphasizes some of the qualities that the NNC-NCR team should have to achieve more: Focus, Optimism, Resilience, Commitment, and Excellence. These are just some of the good qualities or traits that the team must possess to be more efficient and successful.

As a tradition, before proceeding to the activities, the team visited St. John the Baptist Parish Church in Calamba City, Laguna to give thanks to the Lord for the blessings especially for the good health of everyone, success of all activities conducted and continued love, care, and protection of everyone. They also visited tourist spots in Calamba City: the giant Claypot and Rizal Shrine. They also had the chance to visit St. John the Baptist Parish Church in Liliw, Laguna.

Through the activities conducted, the team was able to understand better the need to pull each other up by encouraging, supporting, helping, and pushing each other in achieving their goals in work and personal life. They also had the opportunity to destress, recharge and appreciate nature.

Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator Milagros Elisa V. Federizo hopes that even after this teambuilding activity, the team will focus more on the tasks at hand, be optimistic, resilient, and committed to attain excellence.
