The boldest and the brightest stars of San Miguel Properties, Inc. came out to shine at the 2016 SMPI Star Awards last April 8.
The annual recognition night gathered SMPI's employees, sellers, and executives for one night of partying at the Makati Diamond Residences, one of the many projects of San Miguel Properties. Its luxurious setting was the perfect backdrop for the evening's theme, Betting It All in 2016.
Amidst bright lights and festive decorations, the men and women of SMPI were transported to Las Vegas, the Entertainment Capital of the World, where the production numbers certainly did not disappoint.

The evening opened with a Broadway-inspired performance by SMPI sellers and employees. Taking the entertainment to the next level was the 2016 SMPI Interdepartmental Competition. Four groups - the Sales, Marketing and Leasing Departments; the Legal and Asset Management Services; Office of the General Manager and Business Development Unit; and the Finance Department and Accounts Management Group - participated in a dance showdown against each other. In the end, it was the Legal and Asset Management Services group that took home the P15,000 prize and the title of SMPI Interdepartmental Competition Champion.
Not to be outdone, SMPI's own boyband, the Kanto Boys, composed of Atty. Bien Alde of Legal and Asset Management Services, Technical Team Head Arch. Abet Ventura, and Accounts Management Group Head Jenzell Libunao, performed to shrieks and screams as they danced to and sang songs from boybands across the decades, including the Backstreet Boys, Taiwanese pop sensation F4, and the country's very own Rocksteddy and VST and Company.
But more than the entertainment, the 2016 Star Awards also brought in glitz and glamor as the best of SMPI?s sellers and employees were recognized for their exemplary work all throughout 2015. Sales Reservation and Sales Booking Champions, as well as SMPI?s Service Awardees, basked in the limelight as they received their awards from SMPI Mancom members Karen Ramos, Cecile Ang, Atty. Karen Cas-Caballa, Ma. Alma Geronimo and Jenzell Libunao.

Sellers and employees received the news with excitement and anticipation.

Capping off a night of entertainment, glitz and awards was a special performance from retro rockers The Bloomfields. They had everyone dancing and grooving as they rocked out to favorites from the 1960s up to the present.
