Last November, Viva Entertainment celebrated its 37th year with a bang as it threw a grand anniversary party full of fun, food, and prizes to be won. Employees went all out as they showed off their talents in an interdepartmental competition ala Your Face Sounds Familiar hosted by none other than Billy Crawford. Check out the highlights from the party below:

The interdepartmental talent contest was judged by Direk Paul Alexei Basinillo, photographer Raymund Isaac, dancer and choreographer Georcelle Dapat-Sy, and actors Dennis Padilla and Al Tantay.

 

Billy Crawford, who hosts Your Face Sounds Familiar on TV, brought his energetic brand of hosting to the Viva anniversary party.

Around 500 employees and guests easily filled up the auditorium of the Tektite Towers in Ortigas.

 

Energy was at an all-time high as employees joined party games and lined up to try their luck at the prize roulette.

 

Bosses Vic del Rosario and Tess Cruz drew the major prizes which reached up to 10,000 pesos. The biggest surprise of the night was when Boss Vic added even more money to the prize pool, bringing the total prizes up to half a million pesos!

 

Viva employees brought their A-game during the Your Face Sounds Familiar contest, dancing and singing in their detailed costumes complete with hair and makeup. Impersonated groups included Destiny’s Child, Wonder Girls, Regine Velasquez and Ryan Cayabyab, Salbakuta, the Pussycat Dolls, and the singers of Lady Marmalade.

 

The big winner of the night was the Finance department, which performed to a medley of songs from films such as The Greatest Showman and Mamma Mia, as well as “Bang Bang” by Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, and Jessie J. The group was led by accounting bosses (top row, fourth, sixth, and ninth from left) Jecelyn Carrera, Cynthia Beguia and Jenifer Asio; and business development officer Frederick Pedroso (top row, second from left).
