Dear mga ka-Omni,
As 2024 comes to an end, I want to take a moment to reflect and share how truly grateful I am for each of you This year has been a true test of our resilience, adaptability, and determination as we navigated challenges and embraced major changes in our work setup It hasn’t always been easy, but your unwavering commitment to our shared goals has been nothing short of inspiring. We faced changes in the way we work, stretched ourselves to find and create opportunities, and learned to adapt to whatever came our way. Yet, through all of it, we came out stronger together
This year, we achieved so much We welcomed new partners like Acosta Group and Chivari, building relationships that reflect the hard work, talent, and dedication you bring every single day. And of course, we continued to strengthen our partnership with Channel Bakers, a longtime supporter of Omni, which speaks volumes about the trust and value we ’ ve nurtured over the years
But what truly makes all of this possible is you. Every single one of you has contributed in ways big and small. To our Shared Services teams who quietly but powerfully keep things running; to our Senior Management who guide us with care and wisdom; to our Omni Team Leads who encourage their teams to reach new heights; and to all of you who work hard and show up every day with passion and purpose thank you from the bottom of my heart
Your efforts remind me every day why this company is special. Omni isn’t just a workplace; it’s a community where we celebrate wins together, tackle challenges side by side, and support each other in everything we do
As the holiday season approaches, I hope you take this time to rest and spend it with the people who matter the most. Enjoy the warmth, the laughter, and the joy that this season brings. You have worked so hard, and you deserve every moment of happiness.
As we look ahead to 2025, let’s carry forward the same determination, kindness, and teamwork that brought us through this year I know there will be more challenges, but I also know we have what it takes to overcome them trust.
Thank you for everything you do I love and appreciate you all, and I’m so proud to be a part of this amazing team we ’ ve built Wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful holiday season and a bright and prosperous New Year!
With all my heart,
Vicky
JOURNEYS GROWTH of
At Omni Channel Solutions, growth isn’t just about reaching goals it’s about embracing the journey, learning, and thriving along the way. We had the opportunity to speak with two inspiring leaders: Ivan Galarosa, HR Operations Manager and Julius Acebron, Advertising Operations Manager, about their incredible paths to success Both started in entrylevel roles and worked their way up, showing dedication, adaptability, and a passion for their work. Their stories highlight how determination and a supportive environment can pave the way for personal and professional growth
Finding Passion and Purpose
For Ivan, the spark for a career in HR ignited during an internship in a corporate setting “I enjoyed supporting employees, resolving concerns, and being a reliable resource, ” Ivan recalls. Starting as a rank-and-file HR Specialist, Ivan's early focus on recruitment, onboarding, and administrative tasks gradually expanded into a broader perspective
“I realized HR isn’t just a support function it’s a strategic partner of employees essential to shaping company culture and aligning employee goals with business objectives,” he explains
A Defining Moment
One of Ivan's career-defining moments came when his manager took maternity leave, thrusting him into the responsibilities of a senior HR role “It was daunting, but I embraced the challenge. Managing HR services for a large account, processing an intricate payroll system, and validating timekeeping require critical thinking, adaptability, confidence, and competence ” That experience became the foundation for his leadership style today
Lessons from Challenges
Balancing the interests of management with employee advocacy remains a key challenge in HR. Ivan emphasizes, “Staying true to my core values and maintaining transparency has been essential ” His rankand-file days remind him of the importance of empathy and active listening, shaping his approach to managing HR operations.
To those aiming to grow, Ivan advises, “Stay teachable Adopt a ‘learn it all’ mindset instead of a ‘know it all’ attitude. Confidence combined with humility creates a solid foundation for growth.”

HR Operations Manager
From Humble Beginnings to Advertising Excellence
Julius’ path to Omni Channel Solutions began in Eastern Samar, where he was raised before moving to Laguna to live with relatives Determined to support his mother and build a brighter future, Julius applied for a role at Omni even before his college graduation
“I didn’t overthink; I just knew I had to give my best. I wanted to take my mom out of domestic work,” Julius shares Starting as an Advertising Specialist, Julius dove headfirst into a field that wasn’t directly tied to his degree but aligned with his dreams.”
Pivotal Moments
Conversations with mentors like Vicky helped shape Julius’ career vision “I wanted to manage multiple accounts and contribute on a larger scale,” he recalls.
Julius steadily advanced through the ranks, transitioning from Reporting Specialist to Associate Team Lead, and eventually to Advertising Operations Manager Along the way, he garnered recognition, earning the True Omni Award and accolades from Channel Bakers for his outstanding contributions.
Adapting at Every Stage
For Julius, adaptability has been key. “I’ve always acknowledged when I struggled but found ways to overcome it,” he says As a manager, he focuses on building trust within his team and fostering independent growth.
“One of the greatest skills a leader can have is the ability to listen I view my team as partners, and that perspective makes it easier to adapt, learn, and grow together.”
Julius also emphasizes the value of resourcefulness, saying, “It’s not about knowing everything, but about identifying the gaps and uncovering your team's strengths. Together, we create something greater.”

Guiding Principles
Both Ivan and Julius credit their early experiences as rank-and-file employees for shaping their leadership styles Ivan’s approach is rooted in empathy and understanding employee challenges, while Julius focuses on fostering a supportive environment where failure is seen as a stepping stone to growth
“Don’t rush through your journey Take time to sharpen your saw, and when failure comes embrace it. It means you ’ re pushing your limits. Every step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goals," says Julius
“Continuous learning is key. Seek opportunities to grow, embrace change, and stay grounded. Competence paired with adaptability will take you far.” -Ivan
Building a Future of Growth and Collaboration
Both leaders reflect on their paths with gratitude for the mentors, colleagues, and experiences that shaped them. At Omni Channel Solutions, they have not only built their careers but have also contributed to a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
For Ivan, the focus is on empowering employees and mentoring his subordinates, paying forward the support he received to reach his current success. For Julius, it’s about creating strategies that combine advertising expertise with a love for learning and problem-solving
“To those aiming to grow in their respective fields: Stay curious, embrace feedback, and let your creativity shine. The journey isn’t easy, but the rewards are worth every step ” -Julius
Omni Channel Solutions is proud to celebrate the inspiring journeys of leaders like Ivan and Julius, whose remarkable paths remind us that success is not merely a destination but a story of perseverance, sacrifice, and a commitment to a shared vision of excellence
From their humble beginnings within the company to becoming passionate and purposeful leaders, they exemplify the power of hard work, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace challenges head-on
Their journeys are a testament to the values we hold dear dedication, resilience, and a desire to uplift not just oneself but the entire community By continuously pushing their limits, fostering collaboration, and staying grounded in their mission, Ivan and Julius have shown that true greatness is built on more than individual effort It is rooted in lifting others, creating opportunities, and inspiring a culture of growth and learning
Through their leadership, they remind us that no dream is too big and no challenge insurmountable when fueled by passion and purpose Their stories encourage us all to believe in our potential, rise to every occasion, and contribute to a workplace where excellence is not just pursued but achieved together

THE FITNESS DIARIES
Overcoming Challenges and Building Strength
Earlier this year, Omni Channel Solutions introduced its gym membership benefit in partnership with Anytime Fitness a perk that's well-loved by a lot of team members looking to improve or maintain their fit lifestyle. As an organization that values both physical and mental wellbeing of their team, providing this benefit was an easy decision.
While many fitness routines can be achieved outside the gym, for some, the gym is much more than a workout space. It’s a sanctuary, a place to test their limits, and a cornerstone for personal growth.
Let’s get to know a few of our team members who have taken their fitness journeys to the next level, thanks to this initiative
From Fatigue to Fitness
For Advertising Specialist 3 Edz Villanueva, the epiphany to start getting fit struck before the pandemic. Days spent feeling sluggish and drained after long days at work finally pushed her to evaluate "I assume it was just normal stress or fatigue," Edz explains "But one day, I realized I wasn't feeling my best, physically and mentally. That's when I knew it was time for a change."
Her journey began with a focus on weight loss and strength training, but as her journey progressed, so did her outlook. "I realized that being fit isn't just about strength," shares Edz. Now, her regimen is a blend of cardio, flexibility, and recovery sessions And she's also quick to point out the gamechangers "Nutrition and rest are just as vital as the workouts themselves."
Trusting the Process and Maintaining Motivation
But even with their impressive progress, Edz and Kenneth know that staying committed to fitness has its challenges. Skipping workouts or losing momentum is easy with just a little slip So how do our gym goers stay motivated?
"On days when I feel like skipping the gym, I remind myself why I started," Edz explains. "I think about my long-term goals and how good I’ll feel afterward physically and mentally Plus, having someone to work out with, like a friend or a trainer, keeps me accountable and motivated."
Kenneth echoes this sentiment "I have a friend who encourages me to go to the gym with her That kind of support makes all the difference. It’s easier to stay on track when you ’ ve got someone cheering you on. "
20kg Lighter and Stronger
Reporting Specialist Kenneth Acuña's journey started last January and with a pair of running shoes and a dash of determination. "Jogging was my go-to in the beginning," he recalls Soon, he leveled up by hitting the gym four times a week (thanks to Omni's gym membership benefit) and tweaking his diet. His efforts definitely paid off in the end "My biggest milestone was losing almost 20kg by July!"
Whether you ' re lifting heavy weights, jogging in the fresh air, or just starting with a brisk walk, every step you take brings you closer to a healthier, happier you. The journey won't always be easy, but as Edz and Kenneth prove, it's always worth it!
So, what's stopping you? Lace up your shoes, take that first step, and start writing your own fitness success story You've got this!

Omni Stories Beyond the Workplace #BEYONDTHEDESK
At Omni, we ' re more than just colleagues we are a community of diverse individuals with unique passions that extend far beyond our jobs. While being a part of Omni brings us purpose and achievement, it's often the hobbies we pursue outside that truly shape who we are; it's a reminder that life is a balance, and fulfillment usually comes from exploring what excites us the most.
Here are some incredible ways our team members are making the most of their time beyond the daily grind by celebrating passions that keep them inspired and motivated
THE PAINTER EXTRAORDINAIRE
Brian Chan, Advertising Specialist 3
My painting hobby started after my partner and I had a conversation about painting a sunset beachfront during a trip to La Union. I went on YouTube to learn to paint again, which led me to create my own 'Starry Starry Night' painting Afterward, I made my own style by creating more paintings of landscapes and landmarks around the world. I've never imagined how happy I am with these developed skills I accomplished then and now.
What advice would you give someone who wants to pursue your favorite activity as a hobby?
I have two ingredients for painting: patience and focus You need to be patient while doing your brushstrokes and focus on the scenes you'll do. It's easier to learn right now by searching various tutorials on YouTube, but I encourage you to go beyond your talents and learn more At the end of the day, it pays off to fulfill your creative mindset too. Keep going and keep learning!
OUR OMNI FREE DIVERS
Red Co-Untian, PPC Campaign Manager
Red: I initially started with snorkeling when I realized I also wanted to learn to freedive. The most challenging yet rewarding experience was overcoming the open water and learning to stay calm at deeper depths Getting the chance to take in the beauty of the corals and other marine life is incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. Many people think freediving requires extreme swimming skills, but once you learn the proper techniques and follow the safety guidelines, it'll all be worth it!
Jaze Quizon, Advertising Specialist 2
connection with the ocean is unmatched. Being underwater is incredibly peaceful, away from the noise and chaos above One of my best experiences was during a dive in Coron, where I saw a school of colorful fish around a coral reef. The beauty and calm of that moment made all the challenges worth it Each dive brings a new sense of achievement and a deeper love for the underwater world
What advice would you give someone who wants to pursue your favorite activity as a hobby?
Red: Start with a beginner course to learn the basics, focus on proper breathing, and enjoy the journey it's definitely worth trying
Jaze: Always dive with a partner. Practice staying calm underwater, even when you can't see much Take your time and be careful not to touch or disturb any marine life!
THE BOULDERING ENTHUSIAST
Lyrra Partosa, Creatives
Associate Team Lead
Bouldering, which is indoor rock climbing without a harness, was introduced to me by some friends I was curious about the sport and wanted to try something new, exciting, and challenging. Many people think climbing is only for the extremely strong or super-fit. But that's not true. Climbers come in all shapes and sizes. Technique, balance, mental focus, and problem-solving skills are just as important as physical strength.
What advice would you give someone who wants to pursue your favorite activity as a hobby?
Start small, and don't be afraid to fail. It can feel intimidating at first, especially with advanced climbers around, but everyone starts somewhere Focus on your progress, and enjoy the process of learning.
Hobbies aren't just a way for us to unwind, but they're a source of growth and inspiration May these stories inspire you to reconnect with your own passions to try something new!
Are you passionate about any activity in particular? Reach out to us to get a chance to be featured in our next Round Up issue!

rished moments so far was when miled at me that smile was so ull of love, and it made all the s and tough moments worth it At realized how much my baby me and that connection is lways treasure
What advice would you share with people looking to become new parents?
Parenthood doesn't come with a manual, and no one is truly prepared for all the ups and downs There will be tough moments when you question yourself but trust that you ’ re doing the best you can. Be kind to yourself and ask for help when you need it. It's also important to take things one day at a time Each day is a learning experience; every phase your baby goes through is temporary and part of their journey. Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy the little moments because they grow so quickly.
Daddy Amiel and Baby Aki
It's been a rollercoaster of emotions; it's so exciting seeing him grow every day but also tiring to have to care for the baby round-theclock but with just one smile, all our troubles fade away. The nine-year gap between our third child and newborn surprises me because there's so many new ways to take care of babies, thanks to evolving technology! Every day is momentous when you have a growing baby but being able to work from home allows me to be able to look after him better.
What advice would you share with people looking to become new parents?
Parenthood is tiring and exhausting but when you see your child experiencing milestones, it all becomes worth it There are new things that will excite you every day

For many Filipinos, pets are more than just animals in the home; they're family. More and more petowners are now referring to their well-loved cats and dogs as their 'furbabies' while branding themselves as ''furparents' in turn
Now, there's growing pride in having local breeds at home. Aspins (short for 'Asong Pinoy') and Puspins (short for 'Pusang Pinoy') have proven time and again to be ‘ paw-some ’ companions. With local celebrities like fashion icon Heart Evangelista (fur-mom to Panda the Aspin) and actress Jodi Sta Maria (who rescued Naia the Puspin at the airport) championing the adoption of native breeds from the streets, it’s no surprise that more people are opening their hearts to Aspins and Puspins After all, a pet doesn’t need a pedigree to be special.
But it’s not just celebrities who are leading this 'trend'; some of our own team members have also opened their homes to Aspins and Puspins, in hopes of giving them a loving home

cally my 'living meme ' her ways make me laugh!" Shannon her 5-year-old furbaby. "She’s et but very shy A funny quirk is o anything unexpected like if a r falls in front of her, she’ll freeze And she has this one ear that’s ent down which I love. On the i is super active and scared of

Changing Local Perceptions One Friendly Paw at a Time
"I tell people that aspins have charming personalities and are just as loving as any purebred dog. And when they see how wonderful Kawrie and Kai are, I think they start to see things differently," says Shannon about her pups "It’s honestly so rewarding to know that I gave them a home they might never have had otherwise. The love and loyalty they show us every day is priceless, and it’s something I wouldn’t trade for the world!"
Sweetzel also attests to the unique 'healing powers ' of her furbabies. “When I'm sad or tired, they will come to me for playtime or cuddle beside me, ” she says “Cats offer a lifetime of companionship, no matter what stage of life you ’ re in ”
She also recalls a time when her Puspins showed resilience during a nearby fire “Two of my cats went missing, but we eventually found them hiding behind an alley full of plants,” Sweetzel shares. This story just affirms that eve
though they’ve become house cats, they still have that street-smart instinct.
For Shannon and Sweetzel, their Aspins and Puspins are not just pets; they’re family for life
Both furparents have also expressed the importance of adopting local breeds to save them from being victims of animal cruelty. Sweetzel says, "there's an overpopulation of Aspins and Puspins out in the streets; adopting them can help save them from being victims of road accidents, animal cruelty, and even developing rabies."
So, If you ’ re thinking of adding a furry friend to your home, consider adopting an Aspin or a Puspin You’ll gain a faithful companion who will love you unconditionally and in return, you’ll give a deserving pet the chance to experience life in a home filled with warmth, laughter, and, of course, the occasional treat!
