Success Both Ways at PUREGOLD Sari Sari Store Convention 2024

It was packed to the brim, with people coming from all over the country finding deal after deal at the recent PUREGOLD Sari Sari Store Convention 2024. This is part of Puregold's 20th anniversary celebration which they fondly call #Asen20Tayo (or AsensoTayo), a challenge that they have been doing these past years because they know if you become successful entrepreneurs, they also become successful too. I bet you haven't seen anything like this in the country because almost 120 brands and companies joined in to being their best and super affordable products so YOU can get only the best deal from Puregold.

Ms. Susan Co, the Chairman of Puregold Price Club Inc. says "Our lovely partners, guests, ladies and gentlemen, and fellow Ka-Asensos, a happy morning to all. Today, we bare witness to the start of the biggest and grandest Puregold Sari-Sari Store Convention 2024. This also marked the 20th year of our most successful program called Tindahan ni Aling Puring which has always made us win in our respective businesses. Our new call for "Asenso Tayo" holds so much value for every one of us here today, because it's not just mine, or yours, but ours. It's been a hard couple years during the pandemic, but by doing what is necessary to create networks, this inspires us to push even more during the most difficult times. Over 900,000 members, a strong number of micro, small and medium businesses that have worked so hard to sustain lives. We are not just PANALO, it's something we all should live by. We will continue to innovate so we could help more businesses thrive. Because of our ties, we are all winners! We will be here to support you all the way!"

Here's a glimpse of the event yesterday!

MIGUEL TANFELIX Shares His San Diego Comic Convention Experience

I've had the chance to interview Miguel Tanfelix a couple of times in this site since I've covered a few of his birthdays, endorsements and shows in the past. To say the least, I've seen him grow up in person and on screen and in real life. He's had many achievements, awards and yes, he deserved all of that and more. This interview was something that I did look forward to because aside from his stint in Voltes V: Legacy (which btw I religiously watched when I was a kid) and now, something big happened recently that must be known.

You see, for geeks like me, it's a dream to be in the biggest comic convention in the world called "San Diego Comic Con". It's the largest one, even stamped by Guinness World Records. It's also where much of your DC and Marvel movies are announced before they come out of theaters. It's a big deal to just attend it, but if you're part of the show, that's a whole different level!

The Voltes V Legacy 's Steve Armstrong was asked to fix his US Visa a couple months back, but then he got word that it wouldn't be pushing through. So he kinda relaxed and worked a lot in the series and planned to go to the GMA GALA. Then a little over two weeks before the actual flight, they told him they were flying to San Diego. Imagine how he panicked because he didn't really work on his Visa. He was approved a few days before the actual flight. He also traveled with a couple of GMA Executives and his loveteam Ysabelle Ortega who plays Jamie Robinson in the same show. Miguel being in this comic con means he had to represent not just GMA or the show, but the Philippines in the biggest comic convention in the world! Here's our really long chat with him a few days ago, please enjoy!

 

Then he gave us the story of why he wasn't at the GMA Gala, and why he wasn't online that time... he was sleeping!

Miguel also told us about the little trip they had in Sta Monica and the proposal they saw while the sun was setting. It was romantic!

 In the event, there was a panel discussion that happened and they thought it wasn't going to be well attended. The place was actually filled up to the brim and still had people outside in the line. They went to the people that were not able to go inside and thanked them for their support.

I am so happy about Miguel and the whole Voltes V: Legacy cast's achievement (and you should be too), plus the fact that he represented the country well in the biggest comic convention and pop culture event in the world. The event will be shown soon online (I think), so stay tuned for updates about that. If you're a fan of Miguel and Ysabel, I hope you continue to support them especially now that this happened. It's a win not just for them as actors, but for what they've done for the Philippines. 

I hope this isn't the last time they'll be going to SDCC, and I think they're working out something so they'll be able to bring the whole Voltes V Legacy cast to the US soon.  That would be an awesome opportunity no?

Congratulations Miguel!

Come "Roar with Confidence in the Year of the Water Tiger" from Feng Shui Queen Marites Allen

To say that I'm guided is an understatement especially when I've had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Marites Allen. This year is special for Earth Horses like me who have undoubtedly weathered a lot these past few years, and now becoming more, shall I say LUCKY?

You too may have the pleasure of knowing what your fortune is during the Year of the Water Tiger (2022) through Marites Allen's 2022 Feng Shui Forecast. The event is entitled "Roar with Confidence in the Year of the Water Tiger" and will be held this coming December 26 at 6PM (times below for other territories). You may get tickets through Eventbrite, the official Frigga website, KTX.PH and ticket2me.net. I've attended previous ones and I am so excited to know straight from Ms Marites the stories that changed our lives in 2021. She also takes time to explain things, in lay man's terms so we would understand how we could have better times this year.

You can be guided and grow, aside from that, Frigga will showcase their latest products so you can mix fortune with fashion, something that Ms. Marites Allen has fabulously done throughout the years. You have to make your year work for you, enhance it with things that can help. Ms Marites always give practical advise, and honestly, I've seen a lot of people do this, but she's different. If you want to take matters in your own hands, take note of the schedule and listen to her on this date. It'll change the way you see Feng Shui, and keep it classy.

Experience this all on the event, see you there!
