We received a note from Miguel G. David, secretary of Futsal Committee in the Philippine Football Federation.

"Last March, I was very happy to see a certain event in my office happen. Best of all, other people, totally not-involved in Futsal did it (I had nothing to do with its initiation, implementation, and operation, these were regular people!)! My department at my full time day job in Citibank N.A. Philippines decided to come up with a company get together also with the visiting expatriates, and team building session. They chose Futsal!!! With 60+ people in the Finance Division, they did the following:

2 Men's Teams

2 Women's Teams

Everybody else there for the Cheerleading!

Both Men's teams will play a best of three and the two Women's teams would play a best of three. Each game not lasting more than 10 minutes per match. The final would be played with The Top Men's Team versus the Top Women's Team. The rules would be modified for the final. The Men have to wear slippers and also an eye-patch on one eye, while the Women were allowed to have an extra player which they elected to be another Goalkeeper, so the Women in total had six on the court, with two in Goal.

It was held at the Rockwell tent and Adidas Sports Kamp gladly lent a pair of Futsal goals. We all had fun that night and I participated as a member of one of the teams, greatly being held in appreciation how regular people can come to love Futsal. In the end of the three-hour event, which involved a little partying and drinking at the nearby Powerplant mall after, the Men prevailed over the Women 2-1 courtesy of an own goal (*Ouch*). It was real fun and I look forward to more companies doing the same for their team building exploits."
