Suntrust Comes Together Towards Success

Habemus fortem venditio familia! We have a strong sales family!

This was the proclamation that greeted Suntrustees from the recently concluded 1st Quarter Awards last May 20, 2025 at Club Balai Isabel in Talisay, Batangas. More than just a celebration, the event highlighted Suntrustees’ passion and energy in achieving success alongside each other.

Adorned with their vibrant sportswear, Suntrustees geared up for the day’s energizing activities. With the theme “Let’s Get Loud: Dance Together, Win Together,” Suntrustees continue to uphold the value of a team and teamwork.

The Dream Team

The celebration kicked off in high spirits with the first ever Suntrustees’ Leadership Bootcamp. Expected to become leaders and an inspiration to their peers, Suntrustees are put to the test of becoming a leader of their own and guiding their respective teams to the finish line. By having intimate knowledge of what needs to be done in order to function as a well-oiled machine, it’s only natural that they would be able to attain success more easily than before.

Echoing the words of Atty. Basilio Almazan Jr., Senior Vice President of Suntrust Properties, Suntrust has a strong sales family—unshakeable despite life’s adversaries and ready to power through to the top.

“There is no ‘I’ in team,” Atty. Almazan starts. “But there is ‘me’ in it.”

For a team to succeed, they must strive to stay together through the ups and downs. The collective effort of every single person will catapult their team towards their goals. While the leadership bootcamp had its own set of difficulties, Suntrustees proved that through understanding, perseverance, and oneness, they were able to reach the end—even had fun doing it.

“More than the awards, strive to create long lasting friendships with your fellow Suntrustees,” he finishes.

A Shared Goal

As the winners take center stage one by one, their recognition and accolades are not only a testament to their journey, but also an inspiration to their fellow Suntrustees. These awards are a reminder to keep moving forward and never giving up.

Atty. Harrison Paltongan, President of Suntrust Properties, says, “In order to do the things we need to accomplish, we must come together and combine our efforts in order to achieve our one shared goal.”

He emphasizes the importance of staying humble and never shying away from new knowledge in order for one to grow. And in turn, the members of a team should always practice trust, support, cooperation, communication, and collaboration in order to become whole. Only then would one achieve success.

“In order for success to be sustainable, you must succeed alongside others. For all our days as Suntrustees, our actions and decisions should always be done with the team and company in mind.”

Making decisions and actions based on personal gain will almost always backfire and consequently foster a culture of conflict and competition. Your time in Suntrust may be limited, but it is not impossible to still be here in the future. It’s imperative to always look at the bigger picture and understand that every action has its own outcome.

In the end, Paltongan encourages everyone to “become a part of our success.”

Everyday is a new beginning for Suntrustees in shaping the future of the company.
