After more than three months of wellness sessions and weigh-ins, Drop It Like It’s Hot: The Open Access BPO Weight Loss Challenge reached its finale in a special awarding ceremony last February 5, 2025.
Challengers from Manila and their colleagues gathered at the company’s Makati City office, while their Davaono counterparts met at the Davao site, all eagerly awaiting the announcement of who had achieved the greatest fitness transformation.
The ceremony began with congratulatory messages from both Vice President Joy Sebastian and CEO Ben Davidowitz.
Fitness coaches JR and Val, who had provided ongoing support and guidance throughout the challengers’ wellness journey, were also in attendance.
After the initial presentations, the spotlight turned to the weight loss challenge results. Open Access BPO’s Clinical Services team took the stage to announce the top performers in each category, setting the stage for the announcement of the overall winners.
They noted the Makati and Davao teams will each have a second-place and a third-place winner.
