“The FPIP Sportsfest 2025 is not just for the thrill of competition, but to rekindle the connection among locator companies,” said Ricky Carandang, Vice President for External Affairs. “We want to build a strong sense of community and make everyone feel that they belong to a larger, vibrant community here at FPIP.”

“It was great to see employees from different locator companies cheer for each other. Their energy and sportsmanship are what make the FPIP Sportsfest special. More than just a tournament, it is about building relationships outside of work,” he added.

The badminton tournament follows the success of this year’s golf tournament, held in May for locator executives. Basketball, volleyball, and a fun run are set for later this year.
