Every year, multilingual Open Access BPO (OABPO) rings in the new year with a grand celebration, uniting its teams in a spirited kickoff that sets the tone for the months ahead.

More than just parties, these are moments for employees to come together, recharge, and step into the new year with renewed enthusiasm and a shared sense of purpose.

Our Taipei, Manila, and Davao teams kicked off the year with bigger parties than ever, celebrating within days of each other.

The celebrations, dubbed Wanderlust Bliss: The Open Access BPO Kickoff Party 2025, featured a Bohemian-inspired theme that embraces creativity, self-expression, and a free-spirited approach to new beginnings. The theme reflected the company s culture—dynamic, diverse, and unafraid to break the mold—setting the perfect tone for the year ahead.

OABPO Taipei: Ten Years Strong

The OABPO Taipei team’s party last January 24 was a triple celebration: cheers to a fruitful year, early festivities for the Chinese New Year, and a festive bash that congratulated OABPO Taipei on its 10th anniversary.

Company President Henry Chang and Global Vice President Joy Sebastian opened the celebrations held at the ILLUME Taipei Hotel.

Aside from the food and drinks, the attendees enjoyed lots of games at the party, including a dance contest and the Sugar Cookie Challenge (as seen on the show Squid Game).

On January 26, two days after the Taipei celebrations, the Manila team got dressed in their best Bohemian-inspired outfits and gathered at The Enderun Tent in Taguig City for their kickoff party. The party started in the afternoon, accompanied by reggae music from Open Access BPO’s long-time party buddy Collie Herb.

CEO Ben Davidowitz then took to the stage to jumpstart the festivities, thanking everyone for their hard work and dedication in 2024. He also hyped everyone up with the unprecedented raffle prize pool this year.
