February Breaktime Honoring the Heart and Purpose of AOC

February 4, 2026 – Alas Oplas & Co., CPAs continued its 2026 journey with its February Breaktime, themed “Heart Loud for One AOC”. Held in the midst of the busy season, the activity served as a meaningful celebration of unity, passion, and purpose. More than highlighting hard work, the initiative recognized that our people rise together—fueled by heart, driven by commitment, and strengthened by a shared culture that values both excellence and genuine connection.

The day began with the regular First Wednesday of the Month Mass, celebrated by Reverend Father Ogie Orpiada. He reminded everyone that through the Holy Spirit, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, and that Jesus willingly offered His life out of love. He encouraged all to live the Eucharist through gratitude and service each day.

Following this, host Marvin Cadapan extended a warm and gracious welcome to all attendees, offering heartfelt greetings to the employees. As part of the monthly program, the event included the introduction of new hires, the celebration of February Birthday and the recognition of employees reaching significant milestones to AOC.

In this February Breaktime, distinguished partners— Fernando Santos, Loraine San Pedro, Senior Partner Glesie Martinez, and Managing Partner Ryan Sabug—shared inspiring messages honoring the dedication, passion, and hard work of AOC auditors and accountants. Their insights reminded employees that perseverance, integrity, and commitment not only drive the success of the firm but also embody the heart and purpose of AOC, even during the busiest season.

Love Month is a perfect time to honor the passion, resilience, and dedication of our colleagues—especially during this busy season. In line with this, the HR Team invited everyone to take part in a special appreciation drive dedicated to recognizing our hardworking employees.

Below are some of the heartfelt messages and praises shared by employees:

To cap the session, AOC treated its employees a special Magnum ice cream as a gesture of appreciation for Valentine’s Day. This thoughtful initiative celebrated the team’s efforts while reinforcing the firm’s commitment to recognizing and valuing its people, adding a touch of warmth and joy amidst the busy season.
