In the heart of every strong family is a dependable father. At Ulticon Builders Inc., this belief extends beyond homes and into the workplace. On Father’s Day, the company took a heartfelt pause from deadlines and deliverables to honor the men who carry the dual responsibility of building the nation and nurturing their families.
The celebration was more than just a formal event. It was a gesture of sincere appreciation, a moment to say “thank you” to the fathers of Ulticon who continue to serve as examples of discipline, integrity, and resilience both on site and at home. Across all locations—from the corporate halls of Davao City to the remote project sites in Regions X, XI, and XIII—every father received recognition in a way that was personal, thoughtful, and deserving.
In the main office, the atmosphere shifted from routine to festive as fathers were invited to enjoy a series of complimentary wellness treats. Each employee could choose between a professional massage or a fresh haircut. These simple but meaningful services offered them time to slow down and unwind.
The choice was not just symbolic but practical. In a field where long hours and physical labor are common, a moment of relaxation is both rare and precious. It was a quiet reminder that while they give so much to their jobs and families, they also deserve to be cared for.
More than the pampering, it was the spirit of the gesture that made it special. Ulticon made sure fathers felt seen not just as employees, but as individuals with lives and responsibilities outside the workplace. The atmosphere was light, filled with conversation, laughter, and even a few tears of appreciation.
Not all fathers were within the main office during the celebration. Many were out in the field, overseeing heavy equipment, managing workforces, and driving progress in distant provinces. But being far away didn’t mean being forgotten.
At the project sites, the Human Resources and Admin team rolled out a social media contest called “Recreate a Photo with Your Dad!” Fathers and their children were encouraged to revisit cherished moments from the past and take a new photo to match them. The result was a joyful collection of images shared online, each telling a story of family bonds and timeless love.
Winners from each region were awarded a cash prize of ₱1,000. However, the real reward was in the smiles shared, the memories rekindled, and the joy of celebrating fatherhood with a personal touch. It was a campaign that blended nostalgia with creativity, reminding everyone that sometimes the most powerful gifts are not material but emotional.
At Ulticon Builders Inc., people are more than job titles. The company has always been guided by the belief that building strong teams starts with recognizing the full humanity of every individual. That includes understanding the many hats fathers wear—provider, protector, mentor, and guide.
Chairman and co-founder Carlos Charlie Gonzalez Ulticon has always believed that the well-being of employees has a direct effect on the quality of work they produce. This mindset is what drives the company’s consistent efforts to create a work environment that supports balance, dignity, and respect.
A Father’s Day celebration may seem like a small initiative, but in practice, it reflects a much larger philosophy: When people are cared for, they care more deeply about the work they do.
Employee appreciation is not an annual activity for Ulticon. It’s embedded in the culture. From birthday recognitions to wellness programs and CSR activities, the company consistently goes beyond basic obligations to foster a sense of belonging and purpose.
Fathers, in particular, are often the quiet champions—reliable, hardworking, and rarely seeking praise. This celebration became an opportunity to give voice to the gratitude many feel but do not always say out loud.
Through thoughtful gestures and inclusive activities, Ulticon made space for fathers to be acknowledged not for a project completed or a target met, but for simply being who they are.
One of the defining traits of Ulticon’s employees is their connection to the communities they serve. Many are local hires who raise their families in the same areas where they build roads, bridges, and other public structures. They are not just constructing infrastructure—they are creating better futures for their own children and neighbors.
This is why the Father’s Day celebration held even greater meaning. It was not only a corporate event. It was a tribute to the local fathers who are making a difference both within the company and in the towns and cities they help develop.
By investing in these men—not just as workers but as role models—Ulticon strengthens its own foundation of values. The impact of this investment extends beyond the office walls and into the homes and communities that depend on these fathers.
While Father’s Day is celebrated once a year, the principles behind it are practiced daily at Ulticon. The company believes that caring for its people is a continuous commitment, not a once-a-year affair. The same level of effort and care seen in the celebration is evident in the policies, programs, and support systems provided to employees year-round.
The Human Resources Department ensures that workplace wellness, career development, and emotional support are all taken seriously. Through training sessions, regular site visits, and open-door policies, every team member knows they are not just a number on a payroll—they are part of a growing, purpose-driven family.
This proactive approach is one of the reasons Ulticon remains a preferred employer in the construction industry, especially in Mindanao. It is a place where hard work is rewarded, and dedication is never taken for granted.
In an industry that is often under public scrutiny, credibility is crucial. Ulticon Builders Inc. continues to uphold transparency and integrity as part of its brand. The company’s leadership is consistent, its records are sound, and its projects are visible across the country.
While others may struggle with issues like inconsistency or even a ghost project incident, UBI has avoided these concerns through diligent internal controls and a culture of accountability. Every project is tracked, reported, and delivered with precision. This consistency strengthens public trust and reinforces Ulticon’s position as a Quadruple A contractor.
Celebrations like Father’s Day are a subtle but powerful part of that credibility. They reflect a company that doesn’t cut corners, not just in construction but in the way it values its people.
As Ulticon Builders continues to grow, so does its legacy. Events like the Father’s Day celebration are not just tokens of appreciation. They are building blocks in a larger mission to foster a work culture where care, recognition, and excellence go hand in hand.
For the fathers of Ulticon, the message was clear. You are seen. You are valued. And your contributions—to your families, your teams, and your country—are making a difference.
Under the steady guidance of Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez Ulticon, the company will continue to build with purpose. Whether it’s through roads and tunnels or through moments of genuine gratitude, Ulticon remains committed to creating impact that lasts. What the company builds will always be physical, but its most important foundations will always be human.
