The first quarter of the year signals the start of CSA’s preparation for the year round Manila
Employee Relation (MER) activities.

Spearheading our department’s preparations are Joyce Bati and Harold Cruz. They have been
designated by our DM Eric Tanjutco as CSA’s representative to the MER committee.

As of this writing, MER is still on the planning phase of the 2009 activities. According to Joyce,
events lined up for 2009 will be as healthful and exciting as last year, albeit tempered due to the
global financial crises. MER is expected to have its budget cut in support of Fluor’s streamlining
program of cost saving in the face this crisis. A survey was rolled-out last January to FDIP
general membership by the MER to help in their planning and capture a broader interest.

Bati said that she encourage all CSA members to support MER this year by joining the events and
being part of a healthy, happy and active team.

“Start honing your skills and get those muscle moving to prepare for an explosive strike, a fast
break lay-up, a dagger spike, a runaway finished and a grand performance finale”. Bati added.
Cruz stressed that even with the current crisis facing us, the office remains committed and
continue to support MER’s 2009 program for the advancement and benefit of every FDIP
members’ well-being .

Knowing CSA’ers energy and dedication for sure that they will be ready for every MER event for
this year. As a matter of fact, groups from REC & BP Whiting CSA members have been doing
regular nightly jogging around the fun run course. Habshan 5 members are continually having
their badminton friendly games and CSA dribblers have their regular scrimmage sessions.

MER is dedicated to support "work-life balance" concept by providing activities that relieve stress,
promote active lifestyles and creativity and foster teamwork and camaraderie amid an
atmosphere of good-natured competition among FDIP employees.
