National Customers' Choice Annual Awards 2014 Recognizes Outstanding Companies and Individuals

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It's the time of the year again to recognize outstanding companies and individuals who have excelled in their respective businesses and careers. It is but proper to give recognition to a year of hard work and perseverance especially to those who went through some desperate times before they finally reached their success. An award is an acknowledgement for all the efforts exerted, a reminder to keep the perseverance, and an encouragement to always do our best.

Everyone reveled in happiness as each one of the awardees of the National Costumers' Choice Annual Awards for 2014 received their respective awards conferring to them the recognition for their most outstanding contribution or achievement. The awarding ceremonies was held last December 4, 2014 at the Hotel Richmonde Eastwood in Quezon City.

The awards celebration is a joint undertaking of the National Customers' Choice Awards Annual Council, Philippine Events Specialist and Marketing Services Co. Ltd., Consumer Eye Marketing and Research, and the ShopBest Magazine.

A huge gathering of Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs (SME) were seen in attendance at this awarding ceremonies that's now definitely bigger and better. There were lots of familiar brands present that were all eager and anticipating the moment they would go up on stage and received their much-awaited award.

 

This awards and recognition ceremonies highlight the art of competitiveness and excellence in trade and commerce to further innovate and improve Philippine companies, product brands and services.

It is truly a great motivation to pursue a path towards greater excellence especially when you know the whole world expects you to provide quality products and services. I believe we should always inculcate in our minds to exceed the expectations of the public and make them realize what they need even before they ask for it. I would always try to think of ways to become more innovative and unique and always take the initiative to go beyond the standards and traditional ways.

It is also good to know that part of the proceeds of this undertaking will go to the Philippine Events Specialists Outreach Program (PESOP). It is admirable to be able to share the blessings to those who are in need.

Special guest for keynote speech was General Alexander Yano, former Chief of Staff of the AFP (2008-2009) and former Philippine Ambassador to Brunei Darrusalam (2009-2010) who gave an inspirational message to all attendees of the event.

General Yano shared with us his experiences and how he emerged triumphantly inspite of challenges along the way.

A special message was also given by the organizers of the event led by the National Customers' Choice Annual Awards Chairman Mr. Wilfredo Lemque.

Among the special guests was actress Ms. Kris Bernal, a popular GMA-7 Kapuso artist, and also an awardee.

Special performances from the graceful dancers of the Shirley Halili Cruz dance company entertained the audience.

Special mention should also be given to the fabulous dishes served during dinner. Kudos to the chefs of Hotel Richmonde Eastwood for pampering us with their sumptuous culinary treats.

We should also recognize our adorable host for the night, Ms. Joan Montecillo, who also announced during dinner that she was about to get married soon. Congratulations to the lucky groom and husband to be.

Another NCCA Awards official was Ms. Ma. Rhodora Bariso, NCCAA Vice Chairperson, who gave the Welcome Remarks at the event.

It was a full house that night as the Hotel Richmonde Eastwood function room was filled with so many awardees and other special guests. Outside where booths from several companies like KLH Beauty Solutions, Twenteen, Watty Shots, Stone Leaf, Telematico, 24/7, and EasyShop.ph

The awarding ceremonies was a lengthy part of the night as they awarded a great number of companies and individuals. There were several familiar names and companies of which I already had the opportunity to meet them before and during my blogging stint.

To avoid long loading times of this blog post due to so many photos, I would not be posting all awardees' photos here except this one that recognizes the special guest, Ms. Kris Bernal, for Outstanding Professional Achievement Award in Credible Product Endorsing and Entertainment Industry.

Of course, I won't let the night pass without some photo ops with the lovely Kris Bernal.

Thank you National Customers' Choice Annual Awards for giving rightful recognitions to well-deserving award recipients. You give them the much needed encouragement to continue doing their very best and moving towards greater excellence.
