Team Bayanihan™ Experience
What if one day with your team could turn trust into action, conflict into collaboration, and work into bayanihan?
Most team buildings are forgotten as soon as the bus ride home ends.
People laugh, play games, take photos — and then Monday comes. Nothing changes.
Team Bayanihan isn’t like that.
It’s one day designed to shift the way your people work together — so trust shows up, ownership multiplies, and bayanihan becomes the way your team moves forward.
Team Building Isn’t the Games. It’s the Gain.”
Two months ago, an HR manager called us.
She was looking for a team building package.
That’s the norm in the Philippines.
Most venues, event organizers, and team building facilitators offer “packages”: a set of games, an overnight stay, some food, maybe a pool. Fun? Yes. Transformative? Rarely.
But during our discovery call,1 something shifted.
Instead of talking about games, we talked about her team.
She told us what they were struggling with:
- People didn’t fully trust each other. Conflicts stayed unresolved.
- Team members avoided accountability, often waiting for instructions.
- And leaders wanted team building that didn’t end at the venue, but carried into daily work.
That conversation revealed the real need.
Not a package.
A shift.2
We validated it with an assessment and random interviews. And from there, we designed Team Bayanihan for them — shaped by their input and powered by more than 20 years of team-building facilitation experiences in the Philippines.
The workshop itself?
Immersive. Fun. Focused. Safe.
- They laughed and learned about each other — the first step to building trust.
- They faced conflicts head-on, then turned them into ways to collaborate.
- Through games and tools, they strengthened team accountability, becoming more proactive and solution-focused.
- They even launched quick projects to practice bayanihan at work.
Three weeks later, the HR manager called again.
She told us that after their Monday morning huddles, her team is now using bayanihan3 as a guide for their work. She’s already seeing more engagement and more positive energy in the room.
That’s the difference.
Not a package of games.
But a shift that turns trust into action, ownership into accountability, and work into bayanihan.
The Team Bayanihan workshop is designed to create a shift your people can feel right away—and sustain long after the session ends. Don’t wait for problems to pile up. Start the shift today and see the difference in how your team works, trusts, and delivers. Book a discovery call.

Team Building at TUV Rheinland’s 150th Anniversary
When TUV Rheinland marked its 150th anniversary, they celebrated not just longevity but the power of teamwork—acknowledging that every employee’s talent, care, and commitment make the difference. That’s exactly what we champion at Team Bayanihan: when people feel valued and leaders show genuine care, teams rise higher, trust grows deeper, and results last longer.
What Teams Are Saying
“We used to spend our team buildings just playing games. Fun, yes, but nothing really changed. In Team Bayanihan, we faced our conflicts and learned how to turn them into collaboration. Now, our meetings feel lighter — and more productive.”
— Maria Santos, HR Manager
“At first, I thought it was just another bonding activity. But the moment we started tackling real issues, I saw my team step up. People who used to wait for instructions are now taking ownership. It’s not hype — it’s a real shift.”
— Carlos Dela Cruz, Operations Lead
“Three weeks after Team Bayanihan, our leaders are still running the huddles, and our staff are more engaged than ever. It’s the first time I’ve seen a team building that actually carried into daily work.”

FAQ About Team Bayanihan
Got questions? We’ve answered the most common ones below. We want you to know exactly what to expect when you work with us. From group size to rates, from venues to follow-through — here’s everything you need to understand how our team building workshops work.
1. What is Team Bayanihan?
Team Bayanihan is both the name of our group and our signature one-day team building program. It’s designed to help teams build trust, ownership, and shared purpose.
2. How many people can join?
We facilitate groups as small as 20 and as large as 400 for our one-day program. For conferences, we also run 90-minute team building sessions for up to 2,000 people.
3. Do you offer other programs?
Yes. Aside from Team Bayanihan, we design other workshops like Team Malasakit, Team Synergy, Team Commitment, and Team Alignment. We also customize half-day, whole-day, and multi-day workshops depending on your goals.
4. Do you organize venues and events?
No. We focus on designing and facilitating team building programs — not events organizing. We don’t provide venues, but we can recommend some. We don’t take commissions from venues.
5. Where do you conduct your programs?
We do team building all around the Philippines — in offices, hotels, resorts, or conference halls. All you need to provide is a space big enough for interaction.
6. Do you offer packages?
No. We don’t base our programs on a fixed number of games. Instead, we design tailor-fit workshops around your team’s needs. Location and group size may influence our rates.
7. How much do your programs cost?
Our facilitation rate for 20 to 30 participants starts at ₱60,000. Clients cover travel, transportation, and accommodation costs when needed.
8. Do you work with government?
We are SEC-registered and issue receipts, but we are not PhilGEPS-registered. We don’t work on honoraria. Many government team buildings spend on venues, food, giveaways, and pasalubong, but rarely invest in facilitators. If you need honoraria-based services, there are others who can provide this.
9. How do you sustain the results after the workshop?
We don’t want team building to be a one-off event. That’s why we provide tools like Kamustahan, the Monday Huddle Kit, and email reminders to help sustain the shift.
10. When is the best time to book?
The busiest months are from October to December, then January to July. August is usually off-season. We recommend booking early, especially toward year-end.
11. Can Team Bayanihan be part of a strategic planning workshop?
Yes. Team Bayanihan is a great activity before strategic planning. When teams trust each other and know how to turn conflict into collaboration, planning becomes more honest and productive.
12. Do you work with event organizers and venues?
Yes — but only when they introduce us directly to clients. All our programs must be tailor-fit to the client’s needs.

- What is a Shift?
A shift is the moment when people stop seeing things the old way and start moving in a new direction. It’s not just an insight in the head. It’s a change you can see in behavior. A shift is small enough to happen in a moment, but powerful enough to ripple through a team, a culture, even an organization. ↩︎ - Bayanihan: the Filipino spirit of working together so no one carries the load alone. ↩︎
