27 Years of BusinessTrends:
A Celebration of People,
Gratitude, and Giving Back

September 5, 2026

BusinessTrends celebrated its 27th anniversary on August 26, 2026. While reaching another year is already something worth celebrating, this year’s anniversary felt even more meaningful. It was a time to celebrate the people who have been part of the journey, give thanks for the years behind us, and give back to the community.

A Night to Celebrate the Team

On August 28, the BusinessTrends team gathered for an anniversary dinner.

After the usual days filled with meetings, deadlines, client concerns, and day-to-day responsibilities, it was a welcome chance for everyone to step away from work, enjoy a good meal, and simply spend time together.

The evening also included recognition and awards for employees from different departments. Every organization has people working behind the scenes to keep things moving. At BusinessTrends, that includes the teams supporting our clients and candidates, as well as recruitment, operations, payroll, administration, and many other areas of the business. The anniversary dinner was a chance to recognize their contributions and, more importantly, to simply say thank you.

There was plenty of laughter, good food, and stories shared throughout the evening. For a few hours, it was less about work and more about being together as a team.

From Celebration to Service

The celebration continued the following day, August 29, but in a very different setting.

BusinessTrends partnered with KAWA Pilipinas for a community outreach focused on preparing meals for people and communities in need. KAWA Pilipinas is a volunteer-driven community kitchen that serves the homeless, urban poor communities, children and elderly with special needs, persons deprived of liberty, and survivors of natural and human-induced calamities. The organization calls the people it serves its “beloveds”, with food as its love language.

For BusinessTrends, it was a chance to put that spirit of giving into action. From preparing ingredients to packing the meals, the team worked alongside the KAWA organizers and was able to put together 3,470 packs. It was hands-on, busy, and definitely tiring, but it was also filled with teamwork, conversations, laughter, and a shared sense of purpose. As some employees put it, “Pagod, pero worth it”. Knowing that the meals would reach people who needed them made the long hours and hard work worthwhile.

More Than Just an Anniversary

The two-day celebration made BusinessTrends’ 27th anniversary more than just another company milestone.

The dinner was a way to appreciate the people within the organization. The outreach was a way to extend that spirit of appreciation beyond the workplace. Together, they reflected something simple: people matter, and giving back matters too.

27 years comes with many things to be grateful for, the employees who have stayed and grown with the company, those who have joined along the way, the clients and partners who have placed their trust in BusinessTrends, and the many experiences that have shaped the company over the years. Every chapter has brought something different, and each one has played a part in bringing BusinessTrends to where it is today.

Looking Ahead: Continuing to Create Opportunities

As BusinessTrends looks ahead to another year, the anniversary is also a reminder of the work that still matters.

For its clients, BusinessTrends will continue to provide workforce solutions that help organizations find the right people, manage their workforce, and focus on growing their business. Through recruitment, staffing, workforce management, and other HR solutions, the company aims to support businesses as they build the teams they need for the road ahead.

For employees and candidates, BusinessTrends will continue to create opportunities for people to build their careers, develop their skills, and find workplaces where they can contribute and grow. The company also hopes to continue building strong relationships with its clients and partners and finding more opportunities to give back to the communities it serves.

27 years behind us. Another chapter ahead. Blessed and grateful for everyone who continues to be part of the BusinessTrends journey.
