ORNAP-ILOILO VICTORY PARTY | REAPING THE REWARDS


The Operating Room Nurses Association of the Philippines, Inc. (ORNAP) recently conducted its 40th annual convention and every member of the organization were once again enriched and fulfilled with vast knowledge and the spirit of camaraderie. However, the members from the Iloilo Chapter brought home something more than just the distinct benefits brought home by the other participants.

The aformentioned gathering of operating room nurses from all over the country celebrated the event with the theme: Teamwork and Transparency in Perioperative Nursing. It was held in The Tent, Manila Hotel, Manila last July 6, 2014 and it was evident from start to finish that everyone was excited to be part of something this big.

Moreover and just like icing on the cake, the ORNAP Iloilo Chapter took home the 'Best Local Chapter' award and definitely the celebration wasn't going to stop there. Plans were already at hand for an upcoming victory party back home.

As soon as the word was out that there was going to be a celebration, everyone was enlivened, not simply because of the prize in possession but because the event, as well, was another chance to relive the bond that was once forged between members from various hospitals of Iloilo. Apparently, preparations were made which was spearheaded by the officers of the chapter.

The party took place in Soriano Beach Resort, Oton, Iloilo on August 3, 2014. The vibrant and charming pair of Ms. Jevy Celera and Mr. Ryan Suyo paved the way as the emcees. It was very well organized as there was a prompt registration manned by Ms. Maria Amy Glyza Manzano. Of course, nothing could have been achieved without God's grace so, the activity was commenced with a prayer led by Ms. Maria Christine Barbosa. Opening remarks were given by the incumbent president, Ms. Demelen Gancero, as she was acknowledged and congratulated for doing a most wonderful job.


The party wouldn't be complete without games so everyone participated in the peanut shoot-out, the scrub relay and 'chase the tail' games organized by the officers. The WVMC Boys took home the awards for the first two games while the IDH team snatched a possible three-peat from them by winning the last event.



Then came the seemingly most-awaited part, lunch time. The food was great as almost everyone had seconds. After a while, everyone relaxed and took turns singing on the videoke machine rented out by the officers.


The whole event was so much fun and everyone was delighted. Surely enough, the award signified not only a mere celebration of winning but that everyone within the chapter was honored to have their group recognized nationwide.
