  • A Humbling Experience Towards Success

    A Humbling Experience Towards Success

    In the genre of direct selling and multi-level marketing, Gano iTouch Philippines, continues to be a front liner, not only in terms of the business side, but more significantly, in creating top-notch, success-driven people.

    Hard work and patience, is just one of the motivating factors that led Rizalde Anda, or “Andy” to get to his road to success. Andy is presently a Silver Diamond Director for Gano iTouch Phils., and is celebrating his 1st year as Megastockist in Occidental Mindoro, main product outlet for the whole province.

    “I came to first know about Gano through a gym mate, Linda Alado. It all started with having me try Gano PIOIR coffee,” fondly recalls Andy.

    Prior to this, Andy was into chemical industry, being a chemist by profession. He spent almost 13 years in this business. However, there was a slump by year 2011. “The market got saturated”, he said. And by November of 2011, this was his first encounter with Gano i Touch.

    “I signed up my membership November 17, 2011 to be exact. I went first into retailing”. “A week after I joined Gano, my father had a stroke. Then he went into comatose, and eventually, he died.” And this particular incident in his life really got him to push all the more, he had to work double-time. His earnings from the retailing made it possible for the hospital bills to get paid.

    And if he can do well in retailing, he realized a bigger opportunity in networking.

    Rizalde Anda and his family

    “The product is very good and effective. Plus management support is really very good. I had to know and understand Gano, product side and business side. I attended trainings. I tried to equip myself with all learnings I can get possibly get. It is very important and a must that you really have to know the products by heart. “

    It was not an easy road for Andy. His wife, Ma. Teresa, had to leave the country to work as an OFW (nurse in Saudi Arabia) leaving their eldest with him who was barely 4 years old then. “It simply heartbreaking to see your wife leaving to work abroad and you have your son with you, who was barely 4 years old then. I promised myself that I need to be stable, find the right business for me, for my family’s sake. The investment we put in for having a Gano center came from my wife’s earnings and from the chemical business. It was all hard-earned money”.

    Determination. Collaboration. Wise Spending. “I am not for those who will just wait for money coming from their loved ones working abroad, while you are not doing your share of the responsibilities here. Or worst, hard-earned money goes down the drain. ”

    He first opened a center in Mendez, Cavite. And after only a week, a megastockist center opened in Batangas. A year after, Gano i Touch is conquering the whole of Occidental Mindoro, under Andy’s management.
    Fact of the matter, there is always a risk in any business. But for Andy, “It takes a lot of guts and determination. Instead of allowing that risk to overcome you, figure out for yourself what is the reason for that risk and find ways to address it.”

    Looking back, Andy says he made the right decision to join and invest with Gano i Touch. “The management support is very strong. Everyone is treated here like family. Good, quality products. Very supportive management).What else can you ask for?”

    “Gano is not all business. We advocate social responsibility as well. And this is top-of-mind.”

    Rizalde Anda and his family

    What for Andy is success?

    “If I may share my formula for success, first is hardwork and determination. It is also important and a must that you know what you are talking about. You have to know your product and the business inside-out. Empower yourself. Go for trainings, do research, study. Do product experience. And make sure you are hands-on with the business.”

    And what is his benchmark for success?

    “I can say I am fulfilled if I see my children, all three of them, get to have good education, I can provide them with what they need, we have enough savings, and most importantly, everyone in the family is healthy and happy.”

    Since 2007, GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc., a leading and reputable multi-level marketing company is the authorized and exclusive distributor for Ganoderma-based products in the Philippines.

  • Acer launches 2013 Brand Campaign, Salutes the Modern Innovator

    Acer launches 2013 Brand Campaign, Salutes the Modern Innovator

    Last year, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization made an experiment in two remote towns of Ethiopia, and the results were astounding. The group delivered boxes containing tablet computers, still sealed, to first-grade aged children who had never learned to read, without any instructions on what to do with them.

    Within days, the children not only opened the boxes but also found the tablets’ power-on switch and were using the preloaded apps without guidance. Within a week, the children were using the machines to learn ABC songs, and within months, they were able to breach the desktop security settings programmed by OLPC.

    This amazing capacity of the human mind to go beyond its perceived limits is the idea that fuels Acer’s campaign. Founded on the principle that technology is not just for the techie, the campaign builds on the company’s legacy of developing devices with a target user in mind, and adapting these tools to that user’s lifestyle, demographic, and even aspirations. Central to this campaign is the concept of the modern-day explorer, and how Acer and its products can spark the innate explorer in every person.

    “The new campaign direction is part of Acer’s continuous effort and commitment to create tools that will bring technology to a more relevant and personal use,” Acer Philippines Inc. General Manager Manuel Wong says during the company’s recent smartphone launch.

    Acer Philippines recently introduced its three new smartphones with the theme “Let’s Play Together” and working around the idea of the world as one vast playground that people can explore to their heart’s content. The

    company launched the Liquid C1, E1 and Z2 models, which sport high speed and capacity, a rich gaming and A/V experience, navigation features, and a phone simulation function for the not-so-tech savvy individual.

    “Our smartphones—one of which is a product of collaboration with Intel—are powered up to take your life with you, whenever and wherever you go,” Mr. Wong states.

    Acer’s gadgets, indeed, empowers human creativity and productivity. Powerful computing is no longer confined to the desktop, although desktop PCs continue to offer innovative programming in conjunction with mobile gadgets, which occupy most of the time of students, young professionals and top-ranking business users.

    Acer’s V5 notebooks, for instance, are powered by AMD’s advanced A8 and Radeon Graphics processors for smooth multitasking. Those into gaming can benefit from its multiple simultaneous display output and hi-fi gaming capabilities, while those who simply want some family fun may enjoy high-def 3D viewing at home or on-the-go.

    Key to exploration, of course, is connection. Acer cannot ignore the platforms that keep us all linked to each other, such as the operating systems that enable the applications we all love. The Aspire S7 ultrabooks that run on Windows 8 have become thinner and lighter, yet support full HD and 10-finger multitouch. As user convenience is an important priority for the company, the devices have keyboards that provide ambient light for day and night use, and a cooling system layout that keeps the user’s lap cool.

    Another Acer offering that will ignite the innovator within is the Aspire U series of all-in-one PCs, which won the CES 2012 Design & Engineering Award for its one-piece polycarbonate stand in floating design. This particular line is for the tech-savvy yuppies who want to be the first to own state-of-the-art gadgets. It’s a home or workplace PC that can transform into a tablet or game console for whatever use you may have for it. It supports a wireless keyboard and mouse, touch technology, and even smart technology via the PointGrab software. It’s a true-blue all-in-one device.

    “These products are powered with features fit for modern day explorers who seek limitless fun, need power to accomplish work and personal tasks, want speed to create more, and aspire for uninterrupted connection to capture brilliant moments of life,” Mr. Wong reiterates.

    These modern-day explorers are what keep human progress constant and bring life to life. With products and programs that help them do what they do best, Acer salutes the modern-day innovators.

  • In pursuit of true excellence both in world class products and unmatched service to its customers

    In pursuit of true excellence both in world class products and unmatched service to its customers

    It was in 2007 that GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc., the authorized exclusive distributor of Gano Excel products in the country, was established. Thus far, its objective of achieving true excellence—both in world-class products and unmatched service to its thousands of customers provided by the company’s leaders—is well on track.

    The Chief Operating Officer of GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc., said that for the past 5 years, the company was relentless in pursuing excellence not just in the executive level and within the rank-and-file,but also distributors, leaders & product outlets.

    “We believe that excellence is about meeting the standards of quality performance and continuously exceeding and surpassing them. There is no second-guessing here when it comes to our mantra of excellence, and the people of GanoiTouch Philippines know that,” explains COO Leo Esteves

    In order to achieve true excellence, GanoiTouch Philippines provides continuous training at all levels, from the new recruits up to the leaders, and even conducts training for personnel of official product outlets. He said that the strategy is to make all GanoiTouch empowered and independent as well.

    Esteves further notes that regular training will hopefully motivate the employees and the distributorsto work hard in order to succeed. “Regular feedback on their performance is also a must so we could monitor their success orassess and even assist them on key performance areas where they need improvement.”

    The past 5 years for GanoiTouch has also been a true test of the company’s stability. It also helped that the parent company, Gano Excel, is a hallmark of stability, which contributed in portraying GanoiTouch’s stature in the Philippine market as a solid and stable organization that Filipinos can rely upon in building not only their financial goals but also mental and physical health through its superior ganodermalucidum-based products.

    Gano Excel, based in Malaysia, plants, manufactures, markets and distributes its wide range of products made of ganodermalucidum, a type of red mushroom touted to be better than ginseng, as its main component. At present, Gano Excel products are available in 65 countries, including the US, Canada and most parts of Europe and of course, the Philippines.

    Despite its success during the past 5 years, Esteves claims that challenges for the business remain. The fact that the company operates its business under a “multi-level marketing or MLM” strategy, commonly known as “networking,” remains one of them. However, he is not a bit worried.

    “GanoiTouch’s networking business is absolutely legitimate, fair and sustainable. We have never been complained about because we provide real and effective products that are proven around the world, and that’s a fact. In fact, I can see the company’s continued growth and become one of the top networking companies in the country,” he said.

    He said that there is no other direction for the company but to grow. “Gano Excel is continuously expanding its plantation of ganoderma and upgrading its manufacturing facilities in order to manufacture more products and make them world class yet affordable.”

    Among its most popular products among Filipinos are the PIOIR Coffee and Chocolate, the Tongkat Ali, Ganoderma and Excellium. He even hinted that Gano Excel is currently testing possible additions to its product lineup but declined to specify.

    For the Philippines, Esteves also confirmed that sustainability plans are already in place, specifically in relation to company and brand visibility in other areas. “We have to make sure that we are actively present in all major areas in the country, yet we will make sure that our inventory will be able to meet consumers’ and distributors’ demands and expectations.”

    Succeeding in the business is already in the horizon, according to Esteves, and counts on 3 factors—world-class quality products, a stable and successful global company that’s built to last and finally, a legitimate and fair business that’s sustainable for life.

    And to honor their most exemplary performers that contributed to the success of the company during their 5th anniversary, GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc. is throwing a glitzy and glamorous bash entitled “In Pursuit of True ‘Excel-lence: Faster, Higher, Stronger.” This 5th year celebration of GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc. will be held this coming March 23, 2013, 1 p.m., at the Aliw Theater located at the CCP Complex, Vicente Sotto Street, Pasay City.

    To make things even more exciting, a brand new Toyota Innova is up for grabs during the anniversary raffle.

    “This grand anniversary celebration is our way of saluting the leaders of GanoiTouch Philippines, Inc. for helping develop excellence not only in mind, body and soul, but also in health and in wealth. Our goal to enrich people’s lives and provide hope and economic stability through better health as provided by our superior products and legitimate income opportunity will definitely remain for the years to come,” explains Esteves.

  • Fighting colds mean being free from dust mites

    Fighting colds mean being free from dust mites

    We all know that the common cold, a viral infectious disease of the respiratory tract, is one of the human body’s most familiar and regular ailments. Different people have very similar symptoms like coughing, sore throat, runny nose or fever, but many suffer for variable periods of time, from as short as 3 days to as long as 3 weeks or even more, depending on the body’s immune system reacts to the infection.

    However, despite advancements in medical technology and improvements in medicine formulation, cure for the common cold remains elusive but definitely, the symptoms can be treated or even prevented.

    But did you know that the cold you are having right now may not be because of a viral infection but an allergic reaction? Despite displaying similar symptoms to a virus-based cold like itchy nose, runny nose or cough, the cold you are having right now may be because of allergic reaction to microorganisms such

    as “dust mites.” These “critters” leave behind waste matter on our bed, pillows, blankets and other beddings, curtains, sofas and other foam-based material, which may be the culprit to our cold.

    How do these dust mites bring us the dreaded cold?

    Well, it is also part of our own doing. Our own skin, and most especially food bits that drop on our beds or sofas whenever we feel having breakfast in bed or eating while on a DVD marathon, are consumed by dust mites and results to their waste droppings. Not meaning to scare you, but did you know that a 10-year-old mattress contains millions and millions of dust mites?

    So how do you contain dust mites? Vacuuming may be a solution but the problem is it only removes surface dust, not dust mites because they have several powerful legs that cling to the fabric. And even if the vacuum removes the dust mites, they will still return and continue to wreak havoc on the household, especially children who have weaker immune systems.

    Now, the most effective way to get rid of dust mites is to kill them using “C” ultra-violet light—deadly against dust mites yet less harmful to humans.

    Luckily, there is now a UVC-based device that will consistently and effectively kill dust mites—the Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy Cleaner.

    The Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy Cleaner can effectively eliminate 99% of bacteria and almost 94% of dust mites, and can also help deactivate the dangerous H1N1 Influenza A virus. This was based on studies conducted by the Tokyo Allergy Research Center and the Japan Food Research Laboratories.

    Raycop’s process to eliminate dust mites and even other allergens is via its patented 3-step allergy care system: vibrating, sterilizing and double-filtering. It has a Vibrating Pad that that vibrates a whopping 3,600

    times per minute, and shakes particles and dust mites away from mattresses, pillows and other fabrics and linens to make sure that even the most stubborn dust mites are removed.

    The UVC Sterilization lamp, meanwhile, kills bacteria to leave surfaces germ-free. Using lamp technology from Philips and Sankyo, it uses a lamp with a highly efficient and effective 253.7 nanometer wavelength, the same germicidal ultraviolet wavelength used in hospitals, clinics and laboratories.

    Finally, Raycop uses a cartridge filter that captures the larger particles and traps them so they cannot go back to the room and helps extend the life of the Micro Allergy Filter, which is the one that traps the smaller particles to make sure they do not escape as well.

    So better prepare against colds. Try the Raycop UVC Anti-Allergy Cleaner and help protect your household against dust mites, colds and other respiratory problems.

    Raycop is available at Rustan’s Department Stores, S & R, Landmark, Wilcon Builder’s Libis and soon at Abensons. For more information about the Raycop product line and its outstanding features, visit www.raycop.com.

  • Primed for Growth: Roberts AIPMC’s full range of Tiger Leaf springs delivers strong, durable performance to a diverse, loyal clientele

    Primed for Growth: Roberts AIPMC’s full range of Tiger Leaf springs delivers strong, durable performance to a diverse, loyal clientele

    Rarely does it happen that a vehicle owner, manufacturer, mechanic, or service dealer makes a profession of loyalty to a car part—much less to one hidden under a vehicle’s frame. But a brand of leafsprings developed by Roberts Automotive and Industrial Parts Manufacturing Corporation (Roberts AIPMC) has set an entire industry abuzz as it received nods of acclaim and approval from a rapidly growing clientele both in the Philippines and abroad.

    Tiger Leaf springs was launched by Roberts AIPMC in 1994 under the same German brand that served Europe for over 120 years. Since then, Tiger has not only established itself as the country’s leading line of leaf springs; it has also expanded to include conventional multi-leaf to parabolic (mono-leaf) types, each built to outlast the lifespan of a vehicle. Stamped with cutting-edge technology, strengthened by a world-class manufacturing process, designed with rock-solid durability and heavy-duty power, these leaf springs deliver the kind of enhanced performance suspension that customers are looking for, as well as a reliable, comfortable ride no matter how rough the road, or how heavy the load.

    Leaf springs, or molye in Tagalog, serve as one of the most commonly used vehicle suspension technologies today. Taking the form of slender, arc-shaped spring steels, typically attached between the frame and axle of a car, these parts help spread load more widely over the vehicle’s chassis—thus ensuring steering stability, easy handling, and maximum passenger comfort.

    While leaf springs are meant to bend, flatten, extend, then return to their original shape, some easily falter under the weight of an overloaded vehicle; others deteriorate quickly after weeks, months, years of use; still others buckle simply under the stress of tough terrains and rough roads. In each case, the affected system parts pop, squeak, bounce, or clunk—exhibiting all the sounds and symptoms of poor, faulty suspension.

    Roberts AIPMC distinguishes itself from the competition by making sure that none of the above happens, and by making Tiger Leaf springs as strong and as durable as possible. The process begins at the company’s state-of-the-art 1,300-sqm. manufacturing plant at the Canlubang Industrial

    Estate in Cabuyao, Laguna, where each Tiger Leaf spring is manufactured from imported raw materials and developed to meet the international standards of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

    Fatigue tests determine the durability, elasticity, and fatigue life of leaf spring assemblies; hardness tests, meanwhile, ensure that the leaves have been properly manipulated by the heat treatment process and hardened for maximum strength. Shot peening, a process in which steel shots are propelled at the tension side of each leaf, is also performed to increase the fatigue life of the springs and smoothen the surface of the leaves. And to verify that all the component parts, materials, and base fixings are fit for the application and vehicle for which the leaf springs are designed, load tests are performed. Throughout all these processes and tests, Roberts AIPMC conducts rigid quality control inspections, which are always guided by the company’s ISO 9001:2008-certified quality management system. Tiger Leaf springs are further backed up by excellent after-sales services, delivered by a specialized support group formed to respond to the various needs of Roberts AIPMC customers.

    It is thus hardly a surprise that Tiger is the only leaf springs brand trusted by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, Toyota Motors, Isuzu Philippines Corporation, Nissan/Universal Motors Corporation (manufacturer and distributor of Nissan light utility vehicles) and Pilipinas Hino, among many others in Roberts AIPMC’s list of OEM clients. More and more individual vehicle owners, mechanics, and service dealers are also recognizing the value-driven performance of world-class Tiger Leaf Springs.

    Tiger Leaf springs are currently manufactured at a rate of approximately 600 tons a month. The rare loyalty that the brand has won, however, makes Tiger primed for even bigger growth: something that, judging by the way its leaf springs work, Roberts AIPMC will also be more than equipped to handle.
