In a world where businesses often race toward the next milestone, the Taberna Group of Companies (TGC) chose to pause, and give thanks. On December the 10th, 2025, the Cities Events Place was transformed into a warm, joy-filled venue for Kasama, Kasalo, Pasasalamat: TGC Partner’s Appreciation Day, a celebration dedicated to the business and media partners who have walked with TGC through more than a decade of challenges, growth, and triumphs.
The gathering opened with a heartfelt milestone video tracing TGC’s humble beginnings, built on faith, perseverance, and purpose, leading to its present-day success as home to four thriving brands. Ka Tunying’s Restaurants, Kumbachero Food Corporation, Taste of the Town Catering, and Outbox Media Powerhouse Corporation. The audiovisual tribute set the tone for an afternoon anchored in reflection and gratitude.
Following the video, TGC COO Mrs. Rossel ‘Mrs. T’ Taberna delivered an inspiring message centered on humility and thankfulness. Speaking with sincerity and clarity, she reminded guests of the core values that fuel TGC’s mission. As she emphasized, “Dito sa TGC, namumuno at naglilingkod kami nang may puso at pasasalamat.” Her words resonated deeply with attendees, highlighting the company’s commitment not only to business excellence but also to leading with heart.
The spotlight then shifted to the people behind the scenes as Ms. Luchi Vitales, HR Executive of TGC, introduced the TGC Communi-T, an empowered team bound by shared values and a shared vision. Her introduction reaffirmed that TGC’s strength lies just as much in its people as in its brands.
When TGC CEO Anthony Taberna took the stage, his message blended gratitude with warmth, echoing the company’s appreciation for those who have supported its growth. He extended his heartfelt thanks to media partners, noting, “Maraming salamat sa tiwala at suporta. Katuwang po namin kayo sa bawat kwento at tagumpay.”
In a separate reflection shared after the event, Taberna added a message that captured the very soul of the gathering,
“In every story we tell and every work we do, we are grounded by gratitude. Our partners are not just part of our journey, they help shape the road we walk on. Their trust strengthens us, and their support inspires us to serve with even greater purpose.”
One of the event’s highlights was the awarding of tokens of appreciation to TGC’s esteemed business and media partners. A lavish grazing table and merienda spread prepared by Taste of the Town delighted the guests, along with thoughtful gift boxes courtesy of Ka Tunying’s. Adding life and color to the celebration were spirited performances, an energetic dance by Mascot TonTon, live music from a local band, and raffle prizes that brought excitement to the room.
But beyond the festivities and entertainment, the afternoon unveiled something far more profound: a portrait of TGC as a community built on faith, humility, and unwavering gratitude. As expressed in the milestone video, “Ito ay higit pa sa milestone, ito ay patunay ng aming pusong pinalalakas at aming pagiging taus pusong nagpapasalamat.”
This message encapsulated the essence of the event, an affirmation that TGC’s success is not measured solely by its business milestones, but by the people who believe in its mission and the relationships it nurtures.
TGC is composed of Ka Tunying’s Restaurants, Kumbachero Food Corporation, Taste of the Town Catering, and Outbox Media Powerhouse Corporation—four brands united by one purpose: to serve with heart, excellence, and gratitude.
