City Hall celebeates Employees’ Week with health, wellness and service activities
The City Government of Baguio marked its annual Employees’ Week with a line-up of simple yet meaningful activities aimed at promoting health, wellness and convenience for its workforce.
The celebration, organized by the Local Government Unit of Baguio Employees Association Inc. (LGUBEAI) in partnership with various city offices, ran from December 4–5, 2025 and featured on-site services designed to make essential health checks and government processes more accessible to employees.
A key highlight was the Health and Wellness Services offered by the Health Services Office (HSO).
Throughout the two-day event, employees availed themselves of free general health check-ups, blood pressure monitoring, basic medical consultations, dental services and oral health assessments and health education sessions promoting healthy living and city wellness programs.
The Philippine Red Cross-Baguio Chapter conducted a bloodletting activity, encouraging volunteerism while helping sustain local blood supply.
Employees seeking assistance on legal documents were accommodated through an Information and Education Campaign on civil registry processes.
Staff from the Local Civil Registry Office handled queries regarding corrections in civil registry documents and facilitated applications for marriage licenses.
To support civic participation, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) – Baguio City set up an offsite voter registration booth, allowing employees to register or update their voter records without leaving City Hall.
Additional services included nail care, massage and haircut, giving employees a chance to unwind and practice self-care during the workweek.
Representatives from the Philippine Veterans Bank provided information on opening accounts and applying for loan services.
LGUBEAI officials led by president Daisy De Guzman said the week-long observance underscores the city government’s continuing commitment to employee welfare, ensuring that personnel not only perform their duties but also feel supported, valued and cared for.
To kick off the celebration, the association conducted its general assembly last Nov. 28 where members were apprised of the association’s current financial status, projects and programs meant to address the welfare of the members.
Councilors Paolo Raynor Salvosa (who also represented Mayor Benjamin Magalong), Betty Lourdes Tabanda and John Rey Mananeng graced the event and delivered inspirational messages addressing the well-being of the City Hall workforce.
De Guzman thanked the members for their continued cooperation assuring that the association will continue exploring and adopting programs that will benefit not only the employees but also the public that they serve. – Aileen P. Refuerzo
