Celebrating Dads the SD Way: Highlights from SD Father’s Day 2025
Staff Domain believes in recognising the dedication and love our team members bring not just to work, but also to their roles as parents. On June 13, we celebrated the unsung heroes of our office, our dads, with a day filled with fun, reflection, good food, and well-deserved pampering. The SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration reminded us of the strength, warmth, and leadership our fathers bring to both family and work life.
SD Father’s Day 2025: Heartfelt Moments, Laughs, and Lasting Memories
The event began with a warm welcome from our host, June Bermudez, setting a cheerful and relaxed tone for the day. Staff Domain’s very own CFO, Ben Rajah, opened the celebration with a moving speech. He spoke about how deeply he loves his father and what fatherhood means to him.
Ben acknowledged the emotional and mental strength it takes to be a dad, saying, “I know how hard it is to be a father, and Staff Domain is always here to support you.” He also touched on the continuous learning journey that comes with fatherhood. It can feel overwhelming at times, but growth and improvement come from those very challenges. “It can be scary at first, but the more you fall, the better you become. Be optimistic, your kids are watching you,” he added, encouraging every dad in the room to be a role model through both their resilience and optimism.
Real Talk: The Q&A That Made SD Father’s Day 2025 Personal and Fun
To break the ice, we invited our dads to a light-hearted and thought-provoking Q&A session. Here’s a snapshot of the heartfelt (and often hilarious) answers they gave:
Q: If your life as a dad were a movie, what would it be?
A: John Wick. Most fathers make decisions not based on emotion, but from their role as providers. It’s all about commitment and discipline.
Q: What’s the best fatherly advice you’ve ever given or received?
A: Respect your parents, especially your mother.
Q: If you had a day off with no responsibilities, what would your ideal Father’s Day look like?
A: There’s no such thing as a day without responsibility. But if there was, it’d be drinking with my buddies and making sure my wife is happy. Happy wife, happy life.
Q: What family tradition would you like to start?
A: Being a role model. Our traditions as Filipinos include deep respect for parents. What we show our kids and how we treat others is what they’ll carry forward.
Q: If you could have any superpower as a dad, what would it be?
A: The power to never get tired. Being a father is a lifelong responsibility, and we need the energy to support our loved ones every day.
Ben also shared his insight during this session. “When disciplining or teaching your children, you can be more effective by changing how you say things. It’s about how you communicate and connect with your kids.”
Delicious Eats, Thoughtful Gifts, and Well-Deserved Relaxation
No celebration is complete without a hearty meal. We treated our dads to a delicious lunch of creamy mushroom roast beef and crispy chicken fillet. It was the perfect opportunity for them to sit down, relax, and share stories over a good meal.
To show our appreciation, each father received a curated token that included a shaver, body mist, and beard balm. These thoughtful gifts were a simple but meaningful way to say thank you for everything they do.
Afterwards, dads were treated to free massages. It was a much-needed moment of calm and care for those who give their all every single day.
A Toast to Fatherhood
The SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration didn’t end when the workday did. Later that evening, the dads of Staff Domain gathered at MoonShine, a nearby pub, for a casual after-hours bonding session. Over a few drinks, they shared stories, laughed, and built lasting memories with fellow fathers. It was the kind of camaraderie that reminds you you’re never alone on this journey.
A Father’s Day to Remember in South Africa
Our South Africa team joined the SD Father’s Day 2025 celebration with their thoughtful twist. Each dad received a gift pack featuring a shaver, body mist, and a beard balm as a token of appreciation for their big role at work and home.
The celebration brought smiles across the office, with even non-dads joining in the fun. It was a simple yet meaningful moment that strengthened team bonds and reminded us all of the value of everyday appreciation.
