CALBAYOG CITY –
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region VIII kicks-off
its 120th anniversary and sportsfest on June 21-22, 2018 at Baras,
Palo, Leyte marking another milestone for the main engineering arm
of the government.
The festivity gathers more
than a hundred employees from different District Engineering Offices
(DEOs) regionwide with a civic parade of participants with their
muses opening the occasion on its first day.
DEOs are grouped into team
clusters namely: Cluster I - Regional Office, Leyte I and Tacloban
City DEO; Cluster II - Leyte II, Leyte III and Biliran DEO; Cluster
III - Leyte IV, Leyte V and Southern Leyte DEO; Cluster IV - Samar
I, Samar II, Northern Samar I, Northern Samar II and Eastern Samar
DEO.
A showcase of the
different talents and skills of DPWH employees are also evident
during the two-day celebration through various ball games and parlor
games. Meanwhile, selected male candidates entertain the crowd in
the search for Miss DPWH Sports Spoof 2018.
Fierce competition can be
seen here and there but as the event concludes and participants
return to their respective DEOs, they are instilled with the
significance of teamwork. Working together is more productive than
working alone.
