2024 was indeed a fantastic year at HGS OSS! From honoring unbelievable milestones to welcoming new members of the team, everything was a wonderful success. Achievements like this inspired us to make YEP 2024: Stellar a spectacular and remarkable experience for our Cebu teams.
Two months before, we hosted YEP 2024: Stellar in Manila. Our teams took the limelight at SMX Convention Center, donned in shimmering outfits, showcasing wondrous talents, and were honored with well-deserved opulent awards.
Continuing the celebration, our Cebu teams took center stage and danced every moment at the Nustar Resort, celebrating individual and collective success.
This YEP was the perfect way to end 2024 – with our teams who exemplify what makes HGS OSS truly stellar.
Walking the Space in Style at YEP 2024 Cebu
Our teams elegantly landed on the red carpet with their out-of-this-world outfits. Some donned shiny, splendid outfits to become the brightest star in the party. Other teams had planets and glitter as their accessories to emulate celestial bodies.
Just like every YEP, we recognize those marvelous attendees who best represent the annual theme – this year it’s Celestial Chic! Among those radiant stars, we finally crowned our Stars of the Night! First was Emely Fe Revales bathed in a white dress like she was the goddess of space. The other winner was Cherry Capariño, wearing a metallic purple to embody the galaxy space. Last but not least, Distanz Monterde who was looking like an extraterrestrial being with planets attached to her dress.
These wonderful teams left us starstruck with their starry outfits. In every YEP, they never fail to command the stage, always leaving a lasting impression.
Showcasing Cebu’s Finest Talents to the Universe
Two talented teams electrified the stage with their star-studded talents. One could only take home the grand prize, so imagine how our two team contestants were all out on center stage. Just like with YEP 2024 Manila, these performers pulled out creative dance concepts following the theme, Exploring the Futuristic World.
The Celestial Vanguards’ performance immersed us in a galaxy space—the room was dark, and the talents were wrapped with twinkling lights. They literally proved they were the brightest stars on stage! Their performance was also immaculate, dancing to TikTok trends and APT by Bruno Mars and Rose.
The Supernova Squad also danced to various choreography of TikTok tunes. Despite the genres played—from chic dances to hip-hop grooves—this group smoothly performed their routines. Their matchy red and white outfits truly lit the stage with holiday festivity, plus an out-of-this-world performance! No wonder they brought home the title of YEP 2024: HGS Got Talent Cebu.
Everyone, let’s congratulate our talented teams who brought their passion and creativity to the center stage. In every YEP, our teams have been consistently incredible showcasing their undeniable talent and charisma.
Honoring Infinite Excellence at YEP 2024 Cebu
Our amazing teams in Cebu have been remarkable in every huddle. From organizing unforgettable events to hosts commanding the stage, we honored those teams who showed excellence during the year 2024.
For the first recognition, we presented the Runway & Getaway event as the Best Huddle Award. Last August, our teams creatively donned outfits representing their family role – like a gardener, pet caretaker, breadwinner, and chef! They surprised us with their unique family role, making this event out of the ordinary.
Next, the Best Host Award was given to no other than, Izzy Manggo. With his one-of-a-kind talent, charisma, and energy, we presented him with a splendid award. Let’s give him a big round of applause!
Ending the Cosmic Journey of YEP 2024 Cebu
Our special guest performer, Catherine’s Sundae, a proud Cebuano band performing for more than a decade, serenaded us with enchanting tunes. We were on cloud nine when they played their rendition of each song that’s truly a night to remember.
Of course, a dinner party experience is impeccable with a rave party! We had DJ Ashley Balunan throw a flashy party, creating a memorable experience that had everyone dancing the night away.
Working alongside our incredible teams has always been an exciting journey. These talented, driven individuals continue to make our place a fun and unique experience at HGS.
Onto the Next Chapter
YEP will always be a celebration of our teams so this is not a goodbye but rather, see you on the next YEP journey ahead! After all, our excellent team is the heart of HGS, shaping a bright and successful workplace.
The shining party may be over, but you can always relive the memories from our Cebu party highlights found on the HGS OSS Facebook page. Now that 2025 has stepped in, we can’t wait for what’s in store at HGS OSS this year. But it’ll be more exciting when you join us via Careers Site to be part of our next annual YEP celebration.
