All provincial employees are booked at the Hop Inn Hotel at Tomas Morato (near QC Scout Memorial Circle). Standard check-in time is 2:00PM.

2. Employees are required to do car-pooling going to Luxent and Park Inn since the parking slots allocated for InnoGen at these hotels are very limited. Each BU and department should submit to HR their car pool list, HR will then forward the list to Luxent and Park Inn for validation. The use of Company cars that are not on the list is therefore unauthorized.

You are also allowed to park at the Scout Bayoran compound. HR will not be responsible for Company cars that will be parked in unsafe areas.

As part of the commitment exercises for the plenary, a display of the Philippine map will be positioned at the registration area in Luxent where each employee will have to stick their individual QR codes representing their area on the map. The display will be placed there for the duration of the cascade to allow employees to stick the QR codes during their free time. Instructions about this exercise will be discussed further during the cascade.

6. Upon arrival at Park Inn, all employees should alight at the main drop off area at the ground floor (opposite the side entrance of SM the Block).
