Open Access BPO yields 4 finishers in this year’s NYC Marathon

OABPO Blog Team Published on November 8, 2017

 

NEW YORK CITY, USโ€”Amidst the cloudy skies and the chilly autumn weather, four of the Philippine call center Open Access BPO’s representatives crossed the finish line alongside the 50,766 finishers of the prestigious TCS New York City Marathon 2017 last November 6.

Leo Penas, Ma. Leonisa Cantos, Lizelle Barbosa, and Ezekiel Narcelles trekked 42 kilometers of asphalt and pavement as part of the collaboration between Open Access BPO and cause-driven nonprofit Ryan’s Run, an official Silver Charity Partner of the 2017 NYC Marathon.

Back in early September, Open Access BPO renewed their partnership with Ryan’s Run through a $30,000 donation to the charity, which allowed the four runners to tap into their passion for running and participate in an important cause.

Bracing through the cold of New York City’s five boroughs, Penas, Cantos, Barbosa, and Narcelles had finished the marathon at 3:32:07, 5:15:11, 5:22:54, and 6:48:41 respectively.

Ryan’s Run seeks to spread awareness and help nonprofit healthcare system Allied Services to improve the lives of people with disabilities, life-changing injuries, and chronic illnesses.

Inclusive corporate cultures aren't built by accident, they are cultivated through continuous dialogue.

We recently brought our global teams together (both onsite at our Makati headquarters and virtually across our Davao, Taipei, and Las Vegas offices) for a dedicated Pride Talk focused on championing allyship and open communication in the workplace.

Sharing a simple, but meaningful, #PrideMonth message from Open Access Vice President, Joy Sebastian as we continue the celebration with our wider community.

Pride is about belonging, respect, and creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported living their authentic truths. This week is a reminder that inclusion is something we build together, every day, through understanding, openness, and genuine connection.

At #OpenAccess, we stand with our #LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to a culture where everyone can show up as their full selves at work and beyond.

Happy Pride!

Open Access BPO recently traded desk time for running shoes, turning Ayala Avenue in Makati City into a wellness zone for its team, families, and friends during the company's Fun Run 2026 on May 24.

Participants took on everything from a high-energy 10K run to a relaxed 1K stroll with their pets.

In an industry where burnout is an identified risk, events like this show what actual support for employee well-being looks like in practice.

Read the complete recap here to see how we champion employee wellness:

Instead of just talking about culture on paper, getting everyone out on the pavement builds the kind of genuine connection that keeps a team strong and motivated.
