RACE THAT STOPPED THE OFFICE!

Central to Profitmaster’s operations is to integrate ourselves into the Australian culture, so our team can relate to our clients as much as possible. And what is more Australian than a luncheon to celebrate the Melbourne Cup? 

The team had a function at a local Australian-style pub with a roast lunch, Fashions on the Field, and a Melbourne Cup Sweep to celebrate the day! 

There was a great deal of excitement as Verry Elegant charged down the Flemington straight to take a momentous victory! 

Ria Baculi was the lucky team member to pull James McDonald’s mount in the Sweep, Archie Baliza took out the Male Fashions on the Field, while the best dressed filly was adjudged to be Alethea Joy Sanchez! 

Being traditionally the first Tuesday in November, the Melbourne Cup comes just a few days after Halloween, a fun part of the Filipino culture each year. 

Our team has had another busy year and as we charge towards the end of the year, it is a great time for the team members to get together and enjoy two very different styles of celebrations from two different parts of the world!
