Site Makati's Planning Session at La Luz

It's the start of Q4 and since CBG Makati is in it's somewhat infant stage, old Site Makati TLs but with Boss Amel as a new Operations Officer In Charge (OOIC), we needed to have a relaxing but fruitful planning session. I was excited when Boss Jerome chose La Luz as our venue for our planning session because it was my first time to go there. I've heard so many things about La Luz and how beautiful the beach was. IMHO, the beach was not really out of the ordinary, except probably with the how we got there. It was my first time to experience going up a mountain to get to the beach. I think it was because of this that La Luz had the feel of a secluded beach.Ü The cabanas were also nice and very relaxing. The mandatory 900Php for the food was worth it because the food tastes great and it was a buffet!Ü The rooms were also well designed and I suggest going there as a group of at least 4 to fully utilize their rooms. I guess the biggest difference between La Luz and the nearby beaches with the Sigayan/Kabayan beaches is the water. Sea life is more abundant in La Luz compared to Sigayan. According to TL Berns, even saw an eel while snorkling in La Luz' beach.

We missed out on the beautiful skies the previous day but I was not a loss because the planning session we had was a good one. Ideas were flowing freely and there was a feeling of ownership since the action plans set mostly came from the TLs.

Doods and I were hoping to get clear skies the following morning after the planning session but the weather was not on our side. I had a hard time taking pictures of the beach because of the thick haze even with a polarizer. I wanted to go to the other side of the beach were there were a lot of rocks along the shore but my enthusiasm was dampened due to the hot and very cloudy weather. I will surely go back there but I'll plan it to make sure that I get clear skies when I do. :)

Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there.
