In a bid to foster a healthier work environment and alleviate office stress, the DSWD-SWEAP launched its much-anticipated 2024 Sports Activities in May. The event features a diverse array of games including basketball, volleyball, chess, darts, Game of Generals, Mobile Legends, and table tennis.

On Wednesday morning of May 8, 2024, the atmosphere was filled with excitement as the FMS Men’s Basketball team, dubbed as the “FMS Bullies,” took to the court for their inaugural match. Led by their seasoned coach, Mr. Jason Ryan Obrique, the team showcased an impressive display of skill and teamwork as they clashed with the “OUS-Innovators.”


Despite the valiant efforts of their opponents, the OUS-Innovators found themselves outmatched, with a decisive defeat and final score of 80-56 in favor of the FMS Bullies.


Among the roster of players, Mr. Allan Ponferrada of Grants Division, the “Best Player” of the game, showcased his skills by scoring a total of 14 points followed by the newly hired employee of the Cash Division and the recent addition to the team, Mr. Dan Arvy Saludes, who scored a total of 13 points.


“Bringing home the championship is the GOAL.”  the team quote.

Director Wayne Belizar commended the team’s exemplary performance and called upon all FMS employees to support their colleagues within the FMS community.
