Philippine Travel Journal - Game Time!

I was invited on Tuesday evening to watch a tradition here at NewHelix.  Every Tuesday and Thursday nights during the summer the staff get together for a fun basketball game at a local park.  During the day the staff take up a collection to pay for the lights on the court.  Two hours of lights run 200 pesos which comes out to less than $5 US, not a bad deal.

I sat on the sidelines and watched the guys play.  A priority for me on this trip was to learn the personalities of the developers supporting WorthPoint.  This became a great opportunity to learn more about them.  As they played I could see traits of natural leadership skills, who followed up their shots, who called out for the ball, who hustled and other traits that can relate to how a person can work in a team atmosphere.

Tonight is their Thursday game and they've convinced me to come join them on the court, not just from the sidelines.  My next blog post will be from the Iligan hospital where I'll be recovering from my heart attack.  Talk to you then.

Enjoy a couple of videos from Tuesday night's game.
