  • Lessons from the Mouth of an ex-OFW-now Successful Networker

    Lessons from the Mouth of an ex-OFW-now Successful Networker

    Gano iTouch Philippines, part of the worldwide presence of one of the established and leading direct selling companies in the industry of wellness, has been siring a persevering breed of professional networkers—highly successful at what they do, and raring to share their formula for success. One of these is its Ambassador Crown Diamond Director (ACDD) named Nathaniel “Nat” Falla, a former OFW (overseas Filipino worker) who attained financial stability the Gano way.

    Nat Falla has worked so hard to have gotten to where he is now. After 12 years of hardships, he can confidently say that all the hard work and sacrifices had truly paid off. Now, it’s time to enjoy what he worked hard for all these years. It’s time to share his formula for success.

    But what is success, and how does one attain it? There are a hundred and one answers to these questions, and among the best quoted answers came from the lips of Nat, a hardworking networker who rose from the ranks.

    Success to Nat means never resting on one’s laurels. “One should not give up in the face of trials because it is normal to encounter these things on the road to success,” he shares. Nat’s one person who does not hold back in sharing his experiences and past struggles with those under him. In fact, he has not stopped supporting his colleagues and downlines. It is important for him to be able to impart to his downlines the lessons that he has learned in the business.

    Nat believes that one can achieve success in multi-level marketing as long as one is truly determined. He follows three key virtues of success that kept him going all these years.
    Nat’s 3 Key Virtues of Success:

    1. Stay Focused – Understand the business and learn it by heart. Love what you do. Don’t be distracted and don’t get sidetracked because you have a dream to achieve for yourself and for your loved ones.
    2. Be Humble – Don’t put yourself on a pedestal just because you are ranked higher than your peers. Show to others that there is a natural process of climbing the ladder to success. Be generous and share with others the lessons and tips you have learned in your own journey.
    3. Keep the Faith – Never forget that God exists and that He is always there for you. Thank Him for the success and even the trials that come your way.

    Looking back, Nat remembers the discouragements and bad experiences he had when he was just starting. He was among those who would dream of being able to escape the world of debt. He was among many who wanted to fulfill their obligations in life. Now, he has finally reached what many only dream of: financial freedom. He heaved a sigh of relief that he has finally made it this far, saying “Wow grabe, sabi nga nila, eto na. Eto na ang napakasarap na parte ng business na ito.” (“Wow, this is amazing, as they say, this is it. This is what they call the sweetest part of this business.”)

    One of GANOiTOUCH’S Ambassador Crown Diamond Director (ACDD) named Nathaniel “Nat” Falla, (left, top photo) a former OFW (overseas Filipino worker) attained financial stability the Gano way. He has worked his way up to where he is now. After years of facing life’s challenges, now he can confidently say that all the hard work and sacrifices had truly paid off. He is shown in photo with wife Evelyn (right). Nat Falla shares his success and gives tips to help his members down the line to achieve what he has reached.

    Nat always keeps in mind that in this business, with his hard work he is not the only one who succeeds but he is also helping others get to where they are now. He is passionate in being an instrument to help others. The result is, like him, they, too, are enjoying the fruits of their labor.

    Being an Ambassador Crown Diamond Director means enjoying what the company has promised, such as additional incentives besides the earnings received every month. He and his fellow ACDD now receive a 3% incentive from the total sales of the company. They enjoy a bonus payout every month.

    Sandra Wee is one of the people that Nat inspired. Sandra described Nat as kind and very supportive to his downlines. She said that Nat is very generous in teaching and guiding others. And that he wants to see more people succeed in the company, “the more, the merrier”. Sandra is very grateful to Nat Falla for all the guidance and support he is giving to his peers. Her words of thanks, “Sir, I salute you, salamat sa iyong guidance, sa iyong walang sawang pag- supporta sa amin sa lahat ng aming mga kasama. At lahat ng achievements mo ay talagang pinaghirapan po.” (“Sir, I salute you, thank you for your guidance and unwavering support to me and my peers. All your achievements you have truly worked hard for.”)

    Now a fellow ACDD, Billy Quiñones owes a great deal of gratitude to Nat. He started with Gano iTouch in January 2010. In a very short span of time, with Nat’s help, he became an ACDD. Billy shares that Nat is very dedicated to helping his downlines. “Isa ako sa mga taong tinulungan niya. Isa ako sa mga taong nagbago ang buhay dahil sa kanyang mga payo na ibinigay sa akin, kaya ako ay talagang masasabi natin na isa sa mga tao na nakakuha ng mga pangarap dito sa Gano itouch” (“I’m one of those people he helped. I’m one of those people who have a changed life now because of his advice. I can be considered as one of the people who have flourished with Gano iTouch.”)

    Nat’s ultimate advice to those aspiring to be like him, “Kapag hindi mo ginawa ngayon may ibang gagawan d’yan. Kaya kung ako sa iyo, ngayon pa lang, umpisahan mo na. Umpisahan mo, pangarapin mo na maging Ambassador Crown Diamond Director. Kung hindi, iba ang gagawa niyan.” (“If you don’t do it, others will. So if I were you, start now. Set out and aspire to be an Ambassador Crown Diamond Director. If not, others will do it ahead of you.”)

    A Gano iTouch officer dovetailed to Nat’s inspired sharing: “Gano’s ‘once-in-a-lifetime life-changing experience’ should not miss. Our investment offer just might be the road that can lead you to success.”

  • Villar Foundation Partners Anew with DZRH in Cleaning up Manila Bay

    Villar Foundation Partners Anew with DZRH in Cleaning up Manila Bay

    The Villar Foundation is continuing its partnership with DZRH’s ‘Makabagong Bayanihan Manila Bay Clean Up.” Last year, MISIS Cynthia Villar, Managing Director of the foundation, inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) represented by radio station DZRH in its Manila Bay Clean up drive.

    “The Villar Foundation together with students and other volunteers conduct weekly clean up also. This clean up with DZRH is in addition to those. The more partners we work with, the better it will be for the environment,” said Villar. The last clean up of the foundation with DZRH was on August 25 last year.

    The clean up covers the entire stretch of Manila Bay. The Villar Foundation will take charge of the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat & Eco-Tourism Area (LPPCHEA), the same site where they do their regular clean up.

    Also known as the Freedom Island, LPPCHRA is accessible from the Coastal Road. The target area will be the open beach areas facing out to the Manila Bay.

    “We are pleased with the improvement that we are seeing at LPPCHEA. The number of truckloads of garbage that we are getting here has considerably decreased and we attribute that to our consistent clean up efforts,” cited Villar.

    The Villar Foundation will be joined by at least 1,000 volunteers from schools, barangays, NGOs, socio-civic organizations, and other private individuals and groups.

    According to her, the days following a typhoon, are usually the period when most garbages have been collected from the area since wastes from as far away as Cavite are being dragged by the storm surge in the area. And the garbage takes weeks or even more than a month to be collected.

    “Clean up plays a big factor but in the long run, we really need to discipline the people and make them aware of the consequences of their indiscriminate throwing and dumping of garbage. The immense flooding that we have experienced in recent years should send a clear signal already of the environmental degradation of Manila Bay and other waterways in our country,” added Villar.

    As per the MoA, MBC or DZRH will lead the Manila Bay Cleanup project along the coastline of Manila Bay from Navotas to Bacoor, Cavite “to help promote any and all efforts in relation to the promotion of sustainable ecosystem of Manila Bay”.

    The clean up activities will take place from 7am to 11am onwards and the garbage collected will be turned over to appropriate government solid waste collector in the area.

    “The Villar Foundation and DZRH agree that this is a joint cooperative undertaking, but more importantly, it is a major public service activity that shall help contribute to the promotion of a livable, healthier and ecological sustainable Manila Bay,” cited the MoA.

    Villar has been vocal about her strong support for the protection of Manila Bay. To recall on March 16 last year, she filed a petition for Writ of Kalikasan against a Manila Bay reclamation project that is seen to cause catastrophic flooding in the area. The Supreme Court granted her petition and issued a Writ of Kalikasan on April 10.

    “We will continue to support campaigns or drives to protect Manila Bay and neighboring areas including LPPCHEA. Moreover, we will continue to oppose projects that will cause damage and destruction to the bay and nearby cities,” cited Villar. If carried out, the Manila Bay reclamation project that Villar is opposing is seen to cause severe flooding in numerous barangays — 11 in Parañaque, 37 in Bacoor and 17 in Las Piñas.

  • Thankful for chocolate with Goya chocolates from Deli Foods, Inc.

    Thankful for chocolate with Goya chocolates from Deli Foods, Inc.

    There was a quote that says“chocolates are made of cacao beans, and bean is a vegetable and that sugar that makes chocolates sweet came from either sugar cane or sugar beets, and since both are plants they would be in the vegetable category, therefore chocolate is a vegetable.” If this is really true, then hooray goes for those who love chocolates!

    Well, hold your horses, chocoholics and vegans. Before you jump for joy or go up in arms, this is just a little twist of logic to give humor to a universally loved concoction that has withstood the test of time. Whatever your race, religious or political beliefs, or social and economic status, chocolate—in whatever state—will always be chocolate and should be loved by all and be thankful for.

    And the Philippines is definitely not an exception. A nation recognized for its love for chocolates, it certainly is not left behind in the global and continuously evolving love for chocolate. This is thanks in large part to Delfi Foods, Inc., maker of “Goya” and other delicious chocolatey treats that ensures that this love affair between chocolates and Filipinos will continue towards eternity.

    With flavors like Goya Milk Chocolates, Dark Chocolates, Cookies & Cream, Krispy Krunch, Goya Almonds, Goya Almonds and Raisins, Goya Splendor and Goya Pretzel Twists, Filipino chocolate aficionados will surely be happy munching on them.

    Man’s love affair with chocolate has certainly surpassed and evolved tremendously throughout several centuries and industrial revolutions. From the time of the Mayans and Aztecs, to the efforts of Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez and the discovery of “praline” by the French, the first chocolate-making factory in the US where the modern chocolate bar was introduced, to the day that chocolate was given a smoother and finer texture, thanks to a revolutionary machine, man still continues with its relationship with chocolate. It has now become a ubiquitous part of peoples’ and nations’ lives, whether as a glorious drink or as an emotionally fulfilling chocolate bar.

    This month, Delfi Foods, Inc., maker of Goya, pays tribute to the true originators of chocolates. Without their pioneering contribution to man’s sweet palate, the people of the world would never have known chocolates—and Filipinos would never have known Goya.

    For this holiday season, get-together and other festive celebrations will definitely overflow with Goya chocolates. Holiday parties will have enough supplies of Goya chocolate candies, chocolate drinks, and other choco-coated treats. Goya chocoholics of all ages will have a blast enjoying the season even more with these world-class quality chocolates many of us have grown to love.

    With Goya chocolates an inarguable part of the Filipino psyche, expect the Philippines to solidify its position as a true chocolate-loving nation—and absolutely proud because Goya, a fully Filipino-made chocolate treat, is undeniably among the best in the world.

    Goya products are available at major supermarkets, groceries, convenience stores nationwide. Be a Goyaholic, join us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GoyaChocoholics.

  • Perk-up Your Holidays with Yummy Gardenia Treats!

    Perk-up Your Holidays with Yummy Gardenia Treats!

    This is the time of the year when the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the everyday gets transformed to something magical.

    You see it in homes already dressed up in glittering and bright lights, or in the warm feeling that wafts in the air during family reunions, or perhaps on how we uplift our character and mindset to become better persons.

    Indeed, the holiday season is a time to look with fresh eyes on all that surrounds us in our daily lives.

    Take the dinner table as an example. While we love to pile it up with all things special for this season like delectable hams or exquisite cheeses, it will not be complete without our bread to brighten up our dining experience and make it even more extraordinary and exciting.

    And if you’re one of the millions of households that chooses only the best in breads for your dining table on a day-to-day basis, then Gardenia will continue to remain part of your festive table.

    While Gardenia has already proven to be healthylicious with or without palaman, the season calls for turning the bread you love to eat every day into remarkable holiday treats.

    All you need are imagination, delight and bags of your favorite Gardenia bread to make the happy, festive change!  

    Why not go delightfully retro with Gardenia Chocolate Fondue? Along with cubed apples, bananas and white marshmallows, pick up bags of Gardenia Double Delights Ube & Cheese Loaf and Choco & Mocha Loaf, along with Gardenia High Fiber Wheat Raisin Loaf. Cube the assorted breads and watch adults and kids have fun as they dunk them in a bowl of melted chocolate!

    Ingredients:

    2 slices                  Gardenia Double Delights Ube &Cheese Loaf, cubed

    2 slices                  Gardenia Double Delights Choco & Mocha Loaf, cubed

    2 slices                  Gardenia High Fiber Wheat Raisin Loaf, cubed

    1 cup                     Melted chocolate

    1 piece                 red apple, cubed

    1 piece                 green apple, cubed

    1 piece                 banana, cubed

    1 30g pack           white marshmallows

    How to do it? Simply serve all the ingredients using a fondue set.

    Or you can get into the amazing festive indulgence mode using any of Gardenia’s amazing loaves like Gardenia Black Forest, that decadent, succulently soft and moist chocolate bread heaping with rich chocolate filling and luscious cherries, or Gardenia’s Amazing Dates and Walnuts, the soft, juicy and freshly baked bread layered with a delectable mix of fruit and nut. If not, indulge on Gardenia’s Butterscotch Loaf with its smooth-tasting caramel goodness with rich and flavorful butterscotch chips found in each slice.

    Speaking of butterscotch treats, try the special Gardenia Butterscotch Loaf and tweak it a bit to become a rich teatime snack or a true morning indulgence.  In a loaf pan, simply layer the trimmed bread slices with sliced kiwi, almond and nut chocolate, cream and honey and then chill to make the awesomely delicious Gardenia Butterscotch Kiwi Cake.

    Ingredients:

    8 slices                  Gardenia Butterscotch Loaf, edges trimmed

    3 pieces               kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced

    2 bars (30g)        almond and nut chocolate, chopped

    1 240ml pack     all-purpose cream, chilled

    3 Tbsp.                 Honey

    How to do it: Combine all-purpose cream and honey in a small bowl then mix until well blended. Spread the mixture at the bottom of a loaf pan then top it with 2 slices of Gardenia Butterscotch Loaf, cream mixture and the kiwi slices. Repeat the procedure until the pan is filled. Chill the cake at least an hour before serving.

    Indeed, Gardenia remains the best of breads whether you eat it every day or transform it into scrumptious morsels fit for the season of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and the everyday into something magical.

    The Gardenia Flavored Loaves are available nationwide at leading supermarkets and convenience stores.

  • Make your nights shine bright with Uratex Premium Mattress

    Make your nights shine bright with Uratex Premium Mattress

    After a long day at work, whether a stressful time at the office or at the field, we can’t seem to stop ourselves from constantly looking at the clock and hope it’s the end of another work day. The image of our bed bellowing on top of our head doesn’t help, for it somewhat pulls your eyelids to close and rest your tired and weary body.

    And the onset of the breezy and cold, Christmas night is pulling you to deep slumber even further.

    But never worry. It’s a good thing that your bed is one place in your house where you can just lie down and doze off all your stress and worries away. And it’s also a good thing that you have Uratex Premium mattresses to lie down your tired body on for that ultimate comfort.

    The Uratex Premium Touch Viscoluxe Memory is an example. With advanced and combined pocket-spring system and body-molding memory foam that provides for that soothing slumber, this outstanding mattress is sensitive to body heat and weight and gently matches to the body’s contours in order to provide relief to pressure points. It also allows the joints and spine to be in natural alignment for that full-body feeling of relaxation and a comfortable sleep with less toss and turns for those who work hard all day long.

    Or if you’re someone who desires mostly designer-made items, then the Trapunto by Rajo Laurel is perfect for you. Meaning “to embroider” in Italian, the Trapunto, designed exclusively by globally renowned fashion designer Rajo Laurel, features classic European quilting style known for fine elegance and exquisite beauty for that unmatched luxury, support and comfort. The contoured cut and knitted fabric cover provides a soft, posh feel for a cool and relaxed sleeping pleasure. The foam and cover are treated with Sanitized® so you’re protected against bacteria, fungi, dust mites, mold, mildew and odor. And being a 3-zone mattress, Trapunto ensures superior support in the shoulder, lumbar and hip areas.

    Say goodnight and goodbye to: back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, joint pain, headaches, muscle aches, sciatica, bed sores, pressure points, numbness, stress, fatigue and insomnia if you use the Uratex Senso Memory Foam Mattress. It is made of high-quality memory or visco-elastic foam developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the US for its astronauts and relieve them of extreme pressure during takeoff. It is also treated with Sanitized® to provide safe and effective protection against bacteria, fungi, dust mites, mold, mildew and unpleasant odor.

    The Uratex Orthocare Mattress, meanwhile, is a Phil. Orthopaedic Association trusted mattress that helps relieve pain, especially for sleepers with back-pain problems. This medical-grade mattress combines a high-density polyurethane mattress and a multi-zone topper with breathable open-pored cell structure, plus fashionable jacquard-woven damask fabric treated with Sanitized® and quilted cover with an elegant, classic design.

    For those sensitive to dust mites, allergens and other harmful microorganisms in the bedroom, use the Uratex Purifoam.® Treated with Sanitized® for long-lasting, safe and effective defense against bacteria, fungi, dust mites, mold, mildew and unpleasant odors, Purifoam® offers superior quality and made with first-class knitted fabric cover for combined strength, comfort and assured long-lasting protection. This mattress is also a definite must-have even for kids, who spend long and tiring days at school—physically and emotionally.

    If you desire deep that’s sound enough for you to be able to relax in the most comforting way ever, then the Therapoint Mattress, a superior grade, high-resilient foam with the Coolmax® Technology Mattress cover, is for you. Its high-performance fabric dries fast and balances body moisture and helps minimize exhaustion caused by perspiration during sleep and maximizes sleep quality. The Therapoint® Mattress is one of the most durable and long-lasting foam mattresses ever designed, perfect for athletes and highly active individuals.

    So how would you know what type of bed is best for you based on your physiological needs? Well, Uratex still has the right tool. The “Pressure Imaging System” uses advanced technology to match an individual with a type of mattress by measuring pressure, comfort and support. To do that, Uratex uses the system connected to a computer with custom-designed software. The result is a graphical display of an individual’s various pressure points in one’s body that would help you choose the best mattress for you.

    Ah, the mattress. Next to buying healthy food, a mattress that fully supports our body for a restful sleep should be a priority. It doesn’t really have to be a fancy-looking mattress; as long as it functions well in protecting our body, relieving us of pain and other discomfort while we sleep so that we may be recharged the next day, the mattress should be perfect.

    It just so happens that its name is Uratex, the trusted mattress brand in the country, that makes our nights—or Christmas nights—shine bright.

  • Transform Gardenia loaves into irresistible holiday treats

    Transform Gardenia loaves into irresistible holiday treats

    You’ve made your list and checked it twice; hauled out the tree and strung up the lights. So, what’s missing?

    A festive table, that’s what!

    With the Yuletide party season in full swing, chances are, you’ll be hosting one or two get-togethers with long-lost friends or balikbayan relatives, not to mention the grand culmination of all that seasonal eating: the Noche Buena table.

    Make sure your table reflects everything that’s celebratory and indulgent. It is Christmas, after all. In addition to the Classic White Bread you know—and love to eat—on a daily basis, stock up on Gardenia’s line of flavored loaves inspired by special occasion cakes.

    The Amazing Dates and Walnuts Loaf, for one, captures the flavor of your favorite Food for the Gods. Indulge your senses in the soft, moist and freshly-baked goodness studded with a luscious mix of fruit and nut. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: A perfect accompaniment to cheese, salads, or to eat as is or slightly buttered.

    Gardenia’s Amazing Black Forest Loaf recalls the decadence of its inspiration: a lusciously soft and moist chocolate bread with generous twirls of rich chocolate filling and laden with sweet, succulent cherries. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: Great with your holiday ham and cheese, a bowl of soup, or as an accompaniment to a holiday breakfast of scrambled eggs and fruit salad.

    The loaf that’s been rhapsodized about in blogs, Gardenia’s Butterscotch Loaf not only captures the smooth, caramel-y goodness of butterscotch candies, it’s also got irresistibly rich and flavorful butterscotch chips. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: If you can’t stop yourself from eating it straight off the bag, you can toast it and slather with butter or sprinkle sugar on top of the butter. Great, too, as the Singaporean favorite Kaya Toast, a popular snack among Singaporeans. Simply spread with coco jam.

    Now who can resist Gardenia’s Ube-Cheese Loaf? It’s a tempting fusion of flavors: ube-licious on one side complemented by cheese-tastic yumminess on the other. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: Top with all-purpose cream, some milk and your favorite holiday fruit for an easy but decadent treat.

    Make kids of all ages merry this season with Gardenia’s Chocolate Chip Loaf. Each slice comes with generous sprinkling of delicious chocolate chips. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: Make cream and jam or jelly sandwiches, slice diagonally into triangles, and watch the kids (and a few adults) fight for their share!

    Get the best of all worlds this Christmas with Gardenia’s Choco Ripple and Mocha Marble Loaf. It’s an irresistible pairing of rich chocolate and creamy mocha in one loaf, generously laced with ripples of premium chocolate. Also available in mini loaf size. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: Lightly toast, spread a little cream cheese, sprinkle with crushed walnuts or pistachio, then slice into long rectangles to mimic biscotti and serve with after-dinner coffee or tea.

    After a night of Yuletide merrymaking, wake up to delicious Gardenia California Raisin Loaf, baked with juicy bursts of sun-dried California raisins and raisin juice that are both nutritious and delicious. Savor its oven-baked aroma, natural sweetness and soft, moist texture with every bite. HOLIDAY INDULGE TIP: Serve as French toast on Christmas morning.

    Trusted for its quality and freshness, Gardenia remains your choice when it comes to the Noche Buena table for deliciousness as is…or dressed up in the festive flavors of Christmas.

    Gardenia Classic White and Flavored Loaves are available nationwide at leading supermarkets and convenience stores.
