This year marks the 41st year of procurement proficiency of the Procurement Service (PS).
PS celebrates its 41st Anniversary with a Coachella-themed party.
On 18 October 2019, a Coachella-themed party was held at the PS Main Office to celebrate the anniversary and the coming together of all PS employees from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. It is the culmination of the month-long anniversary celebration of PS and the first time that all regional depot employees were flown in to join the activities and celebration.

At the start of the month, all employees in the main and regional depot offices were grouped into teams, particularly Blue, Green, Pink, Violet, Red and White to participate in different sports such as basketball, volleyball, bowling, badminton, table tennis, darts, chess, and the e-sports mobile legends. A group chant was also included in the competition. However, due to geographical location, the regional depots’ White Team were only able to participate in the exhibition games for basketball and volleyball as well as in the group chant. The Blue Team emerged as the overall champion of the sports fest.

One of the highlights of the program was the Best Muse and Escort Competition which was participated in by the representatives of the teams in their chosen sports attire. The White Team representative was awarded the Best Muse, while the Red Team bagged the Best Escort title.

To make the celebration livelier, an acoustic band performed during dinner, and raffle prizes were given away throughout the night. PS employees also wore their best Coachella outfit and posed for the cameras for a chance to participate and win in the Best Dressed Contest. It was a night to unleash the “fashionistas” in the PS!
