Beware of Philippine Prudential



July 1, 2013 – Monday, my husband birthday and we decided to celebrate it at SM Fairview after we fetch Sundae in school.

We arrived at around past 12pm and we want to have our lunch immediately. Then there is this gay, Kelvin Flores, who approached us and introduced himself as an agent from Philippine Prudential. He said he will give us a freebie, gym bag or wall clock. They are not selling anything just a product presentation. Just to be polite, we gave him a moment to entertain him.

He said we have a chance to win a car, trip to Thailand or event a cash. We just need to listen to the 45-minute presentation. Since it’s for free and we are not really in a hurry, we give it a try. Honestly, I have been invited by a gay named Rannie in Gateway Mall in Cubao, but, I left my card holder in the office so he said that I just came back in the afternoon. I have all the access to the internet but unfortunately I was not able to do research after that due to my hectic schedule.

Going back, we signed up the form that tells that we are willing to attend the 45-minute presentation. He walk us to their office at the lower ground floor of SM Fairview. Just like Kelvin, they all look approachable, and then they introduce me to Jessica Joy Paviscino (not sure with her last name). We listen carefully although I’m not actually interested to whatever they will offer since I already have a Sunlife Insurance and a UITF, we are after the raffle, since I thought that this might be a birthday gift to my husband.

While listening to the presentation, they took care of Sundae at the next table. So nice isn’t it?

We didn’t notice that the 45-minute presentation lapsed to what they promised. And now my Sundae is having tantrums. So my husband decided to go out and play at the Grolier shop next to the Philippine Prudential’s office. While my husband is being warned by the staffs, they are not offering me to avail the Endowment Savings, which I only have to pay Php9,000 and no monthly installment after that. I said no since I cannot afford to open for another account and might not be able to support all the finances. But they really insist that the offer is not a GASTOS instead IPON.

And now another agent came forcing me to avail kahit magkano lang mam. I said I have a discipline when it comes to shelling out money.

Good thing, Sundae is now crying so we were able to leave the place.

So next time you see gays/gals from Philippine Prudential, turn away from them. I believe you can afford to travel or even buy a car without them.

Drypers Gift for Grabs


This is the second time I redeemed gifts with my empty Drypers wrappers. The first time I redeem I opted for Sodexo gift checks and I received 4 GC. You may see my previous post here. This time, since I like the smell of the Drypers shampoo, bath and head to toe wash, instead of just redeeming GC I added those items. I'm not sure until when the Gifts for Grabs promo last but I do hope that there will be more promo next year.

Thanks Drypers!

Sundae conquers Puerto Princesa

Sundae's boarding pass
At last! after more than a month, was able to post it, our Puerto Princesa getaway, another adventure for my Sundae. This is her first time to travel via airplane and glad she enjoyed it despite here annoyance with her seat belt.With us are my officemates, Daddy was not able to join us since he has commitment.

We fly via Seair, since Sundae is under 2 years old, her 2-way ticket is only P400 =). We left Manila by 2:15pm and arrived at Puerto Princesa airport by around 3:45pm.

Welcome to Puerto Princesa Airport
From airport, we took tricycle going to Almonte Transient which is only 10minutes ride. The place is very ideal. Malapit sa wet market at supermarket. And no need to book for City Tour dahil yung ibang location is just  a ride away lang.

On our first day, we have 3 island hopping and snorkeling. This tour cost P1,300 per head and the view and fun is priceless. Seeing Sundae appreciate the beauty of nature is more than paying P1,300.
Ready for island hopping!


Baker's Hill
Day 2: Since the transient is located near the city and that no need to book a city tour. =) we are all bagets naman, so we just helped ourselves for the city tour. City tour if booked in travel agents would cost P600 per head. We first go to Cathedral and just beside it is the Plaza Quartel. Then we proceed to Mitra's Farm where Sundae had her first horse back riding for P50. At Mitra's Farm you can enjoy zipline for P500. After that we just walk going to Baker's Hill. It has a playground and few zoo animals. And our favorite part! Lunch at Dampa!

Crocodile Farm
After lunch, we then went to Crocodile Farm, a jeep ride is P22. Our last stop is the souvenir shop. You can use your credit cards in some shops.
