  1. You do have products, but how come there seems to be a lot of people hanging out, being dragged to your distributorship instead? Why are you focusing on dangling instant riches to your supposed future business partners rather than getting your products sold?

  2. I am just wondering, while looking at UNO, and other Filipino-owned network marketing companies like VitaPlus and AIM Global, I am wondering why is it the entry packages are usually ranging from Php 5,000.00 to Php 9,000.00. Why always like that? Why not Php 1,500 to Php 3,000.00? It would be more affordable and easier for the masses to take part in the booming network marketing industry. Think about it...

    1. hello...when you look and study real network marketing business.,malaki ang factor ng capital...kung ang mggng capital mu is 1500-3,000 ang mggng products mu is also in cheap price..ang marketing plan is also cheap..meaning for small amount of capital maliit lng din ang mgging kitaan like vera 7 etc... pero come to think of it..if you are looking for BIG business xempre mejo malaki din ang capital...(small capital-comes small income...,big capital-comes big income)..like AIM GLOBAL 7980 ang capital pero ang package na ibabalik is worth far from the capital n 7980..and ang kitaang 24,000/day is not a small business..when you explain nman what they will earn after investing that amount they will understand it...and 9,000 for a bigtime business?if you ask a business man it is really cheap for a capital :)

  3. @Curious:

    Actually, most people just don't understand the essence of Direct Selling and only focus on recruiting new members to earn money. What they don't know is they waste time using that "hit and miss" method. Whenever someone asks me about the company and what's the best way to earn money, I always say, "Focus on direct selling" even if that person wouldn't be in my team. Earning commissions by selling is much better than wasting time trying to make someone join you. Anyway, all I can give are tips, motivational words and of course, about the products.

    @Gomer:

    This is just my opinion but I believe the reason is that so that "bulk product" would be bought by the new member and the higher the packages, the higher the commissions or more like the quicker the commision not to mention, the "quality" of the products makes it expensive as well. Just imagine selling Apartment units that rangers to a price of million. The higher the price, the higher and faster your earning... that is, if you can sell the products, services, things, etc. to other people.

  4. are you familiar with the direct selling association of the philippines or dsap? as well as the world federation of direct selling associations?...

    im just wondering if UNO is a part of these organizations. if not, then why? how come you claim to be legitimate? by the way, approval from sec only does not entirely prove that you are legitimate, remember, some of the proven scams where also sec registered.


    why do you only give 5000 plus worth of products when your members invest 7000 plus in cash? should the right to the business opportunity be paid?

    and by the way, how do you prove that your products are worth buying and/or really marketable? do you have any awards proving that your products are salable enough to compete with other products out in the market? do you have superbrand recognition which proves your market dominance?

    and why do you have maximum potential incomes? shouldn't real businesses hav unlimited potential?

    and why is there a direct correlation between the number of recruits and the your income? why can't one earn a lot with few recruits only?

    and why are you implementing steep quotas every month that forces your members to buy products even if they still dont need it yet?

    and why are your products over priced? is it merely because of the business opportunity that comes with it? you may say that your products are good, but how can you prove this when you don't have big time accreditations and proofs that your products are market dominating?

    hope you spend time answering some of my questions. please don't get mad or be offended. i ask these questions to clear out the misunderstandings. thanx.

  5. >are you familiar with...

    I'm familiar with it but the thing is, UNO is a mixture of "Binary" (the reason) and Direct Selling method business and DSAP is strict with such thing. Being legitimate isn't just about the system of the business but if your business is doing the right thing.

    > why do you only give 5000 plus worth...

    Aside from the 5000+ worth of product, did you forget about the discounts and other benefits you get?

    > and by the way, how do you prove that your products are...

    Not sure about the other products but I can assure you, Ultima C which I find much more effective than ascorbic acid and the probably the reason I joined the business (I'm more of a consumer than a distributor). As for awards, people say business can buy awards if they have money but what they can't buy is the people's trust towards the product. Anyway, after the IMBESTIGADOR scandal, I believe UNO's products were featured in Unang Hirit, Umagang Kay Ganda and that morning show in QTV... not sure since I just heard from someone.

    > and why do you have maximum potential incomes...

    That's the maximum the company can give you. Remember, even though you say you have a business, you are still working under "UNO" as a distributor and you don't own the business. In short, you're doing business under UNO's business.

    > and why is there a direct correlation between the number of recruits and the your income? why can't one earn a lot with few recruits only?...

    These is the thing that a lot of people misunderstands... they assume that the only way to benefit is to recruit which is totally stupid. UNO is about product not just recruitment, you sell the products then if offer the other guy if they want to do the business as well. Not force the to just join and do "NOTHING" and recruit. They should know that the UNO product is what making it successful.

    > and why are you implementing steep quotas every month...

    Steep quotas? You mean the Buy 1k Product for the rebates 24% of your Level 1 to Level 10 underlings, erm... downlines? You're not forced to pay such thing, you pay it to gain that benefit and remember, you need to buy a product and not pay without any guarantee.

    > and why are your products over priced? is it merely because of the business opportunity that comes with it...

    I'm not sure about over-priced since to me, that is subjective. If I liked the product, I'd advertise it. If I could get other benefit from it as well, the the better. As for accreditations, as I said before, you can buy rewards if your business has the money for it but you won't easily get the trust of the people with just that.

    Anyhow, whether you believe my words or not is up to you. You can also think I'm just talking business, but this I tell you, Ultima C made me feel better :3

  6. hello again.

    before anything else, i would like to emphasize that these comments are not meant to be personal. just discussions about the company. ok? hehe..

    1. you said it yourself, DSAP is very strict with BINARY compensation plans. and why do you think a perfectly unbiased and credible organization would be strict on this? there must be a reason, right? oh, and yeah, being legitimate is not just about "YOU" doing the right thing, its about the COMPANY, the OTHER MEMBERS and YOU.

    2. there are a lot of companies (specifically, DSAP member companies) who are giving out LOTS and LOTS of benefits and discounts without making their product packages priced higher than the actual value. please check this one out. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOSE MONEY (as in lose, with no product compensation) JUST TO HAVE BENEFITS AND DISCOUNTS.

    3. you're saying that awards can be bought. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY ACCUSATION. are you also saying that other non-networking/direct selling companies with the same awards bought the awards and not really earn it?.. if so, are you saying that YOUR AWARDS and other COMPANIES' awards are also JUST BOUGHT? . . . you mentioned people's trust, DO YOU HAVE ACTUAL PROOFS THAT people trust your company that much? as in people who are not members? could you please post figures to determine your annual sales per product compared to its distributors? that is one objective way to prove market dominance and people's trust. don't you think?

    4. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL INCOMES do not necessarily exist, this is proven over and over again by DSAP member companies. you may check their compensation plans to verify. . . network marketing is a home-based business, and businesses have no max potential income. . . binary compensations plans are unsustainable (wikipedia), so they need "SAFETY NETS" (ex. max of 63 pairs per head) to lengthen their companies existence... "even though you say you have a business, you are still working under "UNO" as a distributor and you don't own the business. In short, you're doing business under UNO's business" - isn't that just a better and more clever way to describe an employee?

    ReplyDelete
  7. continuation . . .

    5. you may personally focus on recruitment or NOT. BUT the compensation plan says that there is a direct correlation of the number of recruits to your income. this is the reason WHY most of your co-members are focused on recruitment... if you're not doing this, then your probably like a good man forced to drive a get-away car for bank robbers just because you THINK its okay. oh, by the way, Ultima C is as effective as you say it is, but thats not the point. . . using money that came from robbers still isn't good enough, right? so unless you company can prove that its legitimate and back up claims with PROOFS, then your products dont matter, YET.

    6. YES, STEEP QUOTAS! why? because people may need to purchase less than 1k per month. but because of the quotas, people are forced to add to their purchase to avail of the rebates. QUOTA is just a better and more clever term to HIDE its real identity, INVENTORY LOADING. this is also one point DSAP is very strict of. hmmmm, i wonder for what reason?. . .

    7. I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE TERM OVER-PRICED is subjective. . . effectiveness is also subjective. . . so how do we settle this? through quality of the products. thats one objective way. another are tests, and market dominance... what is the annual sales of ULTIMA C alone and how does it compare to the rest of the vitamin C industry?

    anyhow, saying "whether you believe my words or not is up to you" is good, but not good enough. WHY? because we are talking about objective data and not just opinions. . . how would you react if a medical doctor told you that you have lung tumor and can't show scans to prove it? and just say, whether you believe my words or not is up to you? would you buy that reason? i hope not...

    thank you for your reply.

  8. They say top earners in UNO would even tell new possible recruits to leave their phones, cameras or even look at their parents' wallets if they see "green money" inside. These may be a joke to them, but i know there are half truths in it..

    Too sad, many of these people are young adults who do not know much of this industry yet. And this is not just my hearsays, because I have a friend from UNO who quitted because she didn't like the system because of the one's mentioned above.

    I was just wondering because MLM or network marketing is supposed to build relationships and not destroy one.

    For me, if you really stick that UNO is a legitimate company, then you should be concerned enough to those members who are doing that kind of thing in your business. Because as what i see, there are more of them in your business rather than those who maybe running the business correctly. Because i see, there are more of them fooling people to gain income.

    Or are you one of them?? Because if you are one of these people fooling others to say,"let's go attend a party." , but end up in UNO offices, then you better be ashamed of yourself.

    For me, A real networking company are those with members who cooperate with each other and not use other people at their own expense.

    1. you said it yourself, DSAP is very strict with BINARY...

    Let me just clarify this, in every business there's a chance that some goofball exist no matter how CREDIBLE the company is but it doesn't mean that the company is doing wrong. I judge the company base on what it can give me and if the product is worthy of my praise. If you recall, I mentioned the IMBESTIGADOR Scandal right? If the company isn't legitimate, it wouldn't be up for long. Legitimacy isn't decided by just an organization like DSAP alone which is somewhat I'm picking from your message.

    2. there are a lot of companies (specifically, DSAP member companies)...

    So are you saying that benefits and discounts should be free? I beg to disagree, aside from giving incentives, giving free benefits and discounts would too much in my opinion. And it's not really pay the "benefits everytime" but "pay once (order once), enjoy forever."

    3. you're saying that awards can be bought. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY ACCUSATION...

    Oh yes, heavy as a LEAD and probably even HEAVIER. The world is governed by MONEY if you know what I mean. But even though I said that, I clearly don't remember saying other companies bought awards, I just implied that awards can be bought. Also, I'm just saying I don't care about awards that much but care about how much I trust the product of a certain company. As for people's trust about UNO? Well, my friends, family, some coworkers know I'm an UNO member (consumer) and they already count because they trust the product. The difference is, they're not interested in doing the business and I'm not forcing them. As for my Annual Sales, I clearly said before that I'm more of a consumer than a distributor so it means I don't try to make profit by selling nor going around recruiting people, I don't even try to sell even though some people want to buy from me. I just try to explain the business to curious people and see if they'll be interested.

    4. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL INCOMES do not necessarily exist, this is proven over and over again by DSAP member companies...

    There's a difference between an employee and a distributor. An employee is directed by a BOSS and their income is decided by the BOSS. Here's a simple analogy. Imagine SARI-SARI store businesses. They own the SARI-SARI Store business but the products they sell isn't really theirs. Also, SAFETY NETS of course, is a business related idea that is used to ensure the existence of a company. There's a reason why it's called SAFETY NETS. If you believe a company should exist forever, then I won't force you to think otherwise.

    5. you may personally focus on recruitment or NOT...

    Of course, there's a correlation between the number of recruits and your income, that is, if your downlines are making the product move then you can gain commissions through their sales. If they're focused solely on recruitment and nothing on sale, then that's their lose because they'll spend more money trying to recruit compared to trying to make the product move by selling and that's one idea they just don't get. But actually, I don't focus on recruitment nor direct selling. As I said, I'm more of a consumer and would advertise things if I find it worthy of my praise. As for the 5th Message, I'll just shrug your obvious implication or probably accussation, asking for proofs of legitimacy about a company who got featured in IMBESTIGADOR yet still working fine. Anyway, the point is, I use Ultima C because the PRODUCT is effective to me so that means the PRODUCT matters.

    6. YES, STEEP QUOTAS! why? ...

    DSAP again... anyway, what's wrong with selling the products to its own member? Are the members forced to buy it? That's the point. If they buy the 1k product because they *can* gain rebates, then the better. They make rebates, they also helped in product movement. The members isn't the only one buying the product.

    7. I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE TERM OVER-PRICED is subjective... effectiveness is also subjective...

    Effectiveness is also subjective, heck, if you ask my opinion, everything is subjective. Statistic just weigh how many people would agree and disagree. As for effectiveness, as I said before, it is effective to me, not sure about the others since Medicines (natural and unnatural) works and sometimes doesn't work on an individual (yeah, the power of randomness influenced by probability). As for Market Dominance, I'm not a person who tracks down such thing, but one thing for sure, I'm one who prefer Sodium Ascorbate than Ascorbic Acid.

    8. Anyhow, saying "whether you believe my words or not is up to you"...

    There's a bit difference between proving something in a medical related thing and business related thing. Something like trying to prove some Physics theory against some Philosophical ideas. But as I said before, for me, Sodium Ascorbate (Ultima C) is much better than Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

    9. Thank you for your reply.

    No prob, I like meaningful discussions as well.

    @Skeptic

    That's the reason why it got featured in IMBESTIGADOR, because some goofball distributors try to extort their potential downlines (in their case, victims) by forcing them to join by making them leave gadgets and such. Anyway, I did try dragging someone to the orientation once, telling her we're going to watch some nice performance. Just happened suddenly because I was going to buy a box of Ultima C and thought I should bring her and see her reaction. Well, she liked it but not interested to do the business. I also try to discourage them by telling people, "THIS IS BUSINESS AND THERE A CHANCE YOU WON'T GAIN ANYTHING EVEN IF YOU ACT or DON'T ACT"

  11. you sound like a pretty sincere guy, and i respect that. unfortunately though, i think there's still a lot of things you need to know about network marketing.

    Believing and feeling that a product is working for you is not enough to say that a company is worth endorsing. The end does not justify the means. If the company is not doing good, then no matter how good the product is, it still should not be patronized. Anyway, there are a lot of the same products out there being distributed by better companies. . . this can be related to the story of robin hood. No matter how good robin’s intentions are too help the poor, his method of gaining money was no good. So his entire actions is deemed to be bad. That is why choosing a legitimate network marketing company is essential, and endorsing it doubles the responsibility you are carrying because other people may do it too just because of their trust to you. Responsible advertising should be practiced by us more often.

    id like to clear out a few points:
    1. Not being a DSAP member doesn't mean that you are not legitimate. BUT, because not everyone might meet their standards, they have just given out the 8-point test. and from what i understand from your explanations, UNO does not pass the 8-point test. (with safety nets, inventory loading in disguise, membership fees, and direct correlation of number of recruits to income)... this is the reason why most of my questions are linked with DSAP (sorry to irritate you with that). DSAP is NOT just another useless organization, it is accredited by the WFDSA (world federation of direct selling associations) and is in partnership with DTI. I think that it safe to say that DSAP has a say in anything involved in direct selling and network marketing in the philippines.

    2. YES, you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY EXTRA TO REAP BENEFITS AND GAIN DISCOUNTS. you may disagree, but this is proven OBJECTIVELY by so many companies. WHY PAY EXTRA ONCE and ENJOY EVERYTHING when you CAN PAY (just enough or equal to product value) ONCE and STILL ENJOY EVERYTHING? doesn't make sense to me. im sorry.

    3. Im just saying that we cannot use the train of thought that "awards can be bought" to rule out the other companies' edge over other products. awards and accreditations are one of the objective ways one can determine the quality of the product since being subjective isn't reliable enough. your company has also its respective awards, are you saying they shouldn't mean anything to us too since IT CAN BE BOUGHT? see, that idea goes both ways. if you use that to diminish other companies then you diminish your company too.

    4. SAFETY NETS EXISTS TO LENGTHEN THE COMPANIES SURVIVAL. right? i agree on the purpose of safety nets. what i don't agree about is why does it have to be there when some other companies do not have it and still exist for as long as they want anyway??? if a companies products are "so good", safety nets won't be needed because the demand for that product will always remain thus, triggering a supply. and that is what REAL businesses are about. Can you imagine COCA-COLA imposing safety nets to their distributors to ensure they stay longer in the market?

    ReplyDelete
  12. 1) Believing and feeling that a product is working for you...

    Well, Robin Hood is a thief who steals from thiefs, but the difference is, he's loved by many even though his acts are bad and also, hated by many (particularly the power hungry ones and probably the jealous). But that's a different story, I try to endorse the company because I find its product to be of good quality, and *I* believe the company is doing good. Yup responsible advertising is definitely a must. Most people nowadays find network marketing to be sham because of wrong impressions. UNO isn't the only networking company people ask about but many others as well like USANA, Fern, Aim Global, etc. etc. even small time network companies that would only require you to buy a product worth 700Php or so. Everytime this topic is opened to me, I always say, you're stepping in the line of business so prepare for lost and gain.

    id like to clear out a few points:
    1. Not being a DSAP member doesn't mean that you are not legitimate...

    This is where our idea would diverge. I know about the Direct Selling Association, but the thing is, UNO is not just about Direct Selling, and we've already pointed it out. UNO is a combination of Binary and Uni-level (rebates) system. To answer #4, the Safety Net you're talking about is for the "Binary system" so that the company doesn't give too much pairing bonus to the members, forgetting to gain some funds for its own maintenance. The "Binary system" is as you said before, unsustainable and the safety nets is to ensure the companies existence. The question, what if people can't find anymore recruit? You think the company would just collapse? Well, UNO's existence doesn't really depend on the "Binary system" (Pyramidding is what other calls it) but on its product which the members sell on the market. The "Binary System" is more like a bonus package where things can go right or wrong depending on the person's performance. UNO's products, if I'm not mistaken, has already been featured a few times in early morning shows... Unang Hirit, Umagang Kay Ganda, QTV, etc. not sure what products they featured though. But that's beside the point...

    2. YES, you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY EXTRA TO REAP BENEFITS AND GAIN DISCOUNTS. you may disagree,..

    Clash of opinion... we're going to spin in a spiral here so we'll just agree to disagree.

    3. Im just saying that we cannot use the train of thought that "awards can be bought" to rule out the other companies' edge over other products...

    Correct, I diminish it too. But as I said before, I don't particulary look at awards as a mean to go with that product. There are products which doesn't have awards yet, do quite well compare to those with awards, there are famous products like Milo and Ovaltine yet, I like QuickChoco over them... there's Coke and Pop and Pepsi but actually, I don't really care which one... (nah, I prefer something cheap)... There's also Intel vs. AMD... but anyway, it's something like experience over knowledge. You prefer knowledge, I prefer experience and vice versa. So in short, PERSONAL TASTE.

  13. 5. recruitment is a powerful tool to increase sales. i get that. BUT, direct correlation between number of recruits IS NOT NECESSARY in network marketing...

    Oh, I read the message before as "if there's a direct relation between the number of recruits and your income." Well, as you said, the number of recruits isn't necessary because Team A (which has 5 members) could probably perform better than Team B (which has 10 or more members) in terms of sales. The only difference is Team B has more Binary Bonus than Team A.

    6. INVENTORY LOADING should not exist. WHY? here's an example...

    I view that as a business scheme. Anyway, the point still remains though, it depends on the person whether they want to or not. Much like pros and cons of credit cards, or something similar.

    7. i understand that you're more of a consumer, and i respect that...

    Actually, I tried other Sodium Ascorbate as well, bought in Mercury Drug Store. For me, most of them are the same, just different brand names. Anyway, I'm not comparing them, it just happens that Ultima C *was* the one I'm using for obvious reason (discount). Something like "Generic" vs. "Branded" they do much the same. Also, Networking for me, depends on each person, but always remember to do the right thing whether you're successful or not. And of course, we don't want recommending a product which is a failure, do we?

    8. i agree with you that there's a difference between proving a physic's theory against some philosophical ideas. and thats what i want to point out too, that im not questioning your credibility as a person. what im questioning is how OBJECTIVE you can defend your product and your company. and unfortunately, you like to rely on your opinions and feelings about your company and your products more than the objective facts.

    We can't really pull out objectic facts about something that is subjective. As I said, PERSONAL TASTE. Remember when people say Erap wouldn't get many votes? Heck, he was 2nd Place in the Presidential Election. Oh, I'm an Erap supporter, but that again is another story...

    9. please open www.dsap.ph, click on the industry tab, then read on and watch the anti-pyramiding scam educational video. you'll understand more what i mean. thanx.

    Oh, I've already seen that site, but then again... personal opinion clashes with some of its contents.

    ***you sound like a pretty sincere guy, and i respect that. unfortunately though, i think there's still a lot of things you need to know about network marketing.***

    Well, thanks. There are a lot of things we need to know, that's for sure. Whether it's right or wrong the only judge is the future.

  14. It's like a preacher trying to preach something that doesn't make sense or an investigator trying to interrogate someone who's totally unrelated to the issue. You want to know how well the sales is? Go ask the company. Anyhow, I'm with the blog owner, he definitely has a lot of points.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi! I'm against the blog owner (or let me say, the business in general, if you consider IT a business). Well, let me summarize how I see the recursive story of network marketing. It's like,

    (Convincing to be a seller)
    "Hey! do you want to sell my health products? Then PAY me this amount and I'll let you. You can put your own add-ons for profit."

    This obviously doubles the income of the original seller.

    (Convincing to be a recruiter)
    "Or, if you don't want to sell my products, ask someone to sell for you. But then again, he/she has to PAY me same amount you paid. But this time you'll get some from his/her payment."

    //in fact, your recruiter can give you ALL the payment of your recruit. This is again obviously more than double the profit.//

    ~end of summary~

    My analysis here is: "Why do I have to pay to sell the products?" or, let me restate for the real message: I AM HELPING HIM/HER ON HIS/HER SALES! WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY HELPING HIM/HER?

    Companies hire/(PAY!) sales professionals to help them with their sales.

    If you tell me that the initial payment is for "MEMBERSHIP FEES," let me ask you: Do you know what a "MASK" is for? For a finance professional, we call it "free lunch."

    Wake up guys.

    Look at the real picture.

    ReplyDelete
  16. To that anon above

    You don't understand how the business works. You buy the product so that you can sell it at a higher price. You have to pay the product in order to sell it at a higher price. The initial payment for the membership you're talking about is to buy something that you would either use or sell. It seems you didn't understand the sari-sari store analogy that the blog owner made. Do you honestly think that you don't need to spend anything or take a risk to do business or work? And since you're talking about hiring, it means being an employee that is oblige to do the work because he wouldn't get paid by the boss. No offense but calling yourself a finance professional when you don't understand that simple concept and introducing some terms makes it look like you're just a wanna be.

  17. UNO is not a memeber of DSAP but that doesn't mean that its not legit. DSAP is an association only, a company is not obliged to be a member of DSAP but is obliged to be a member of DTI. I'm a nurse and we have this association called Philippine Nurses Association (PNA), Renal Nurse Association of the Phil (RENAP)and Operating Nurse Association of the Philippines..I can choose to be a member or not of these association and that doesn't mean that if I am not a member of PNA, RENAP and ORNAP I am not a legit Nurse. I am still a Registered Nurse in the Philippines, right?? I have a license issued by PRC. Same as in the business. The one that really gives license is DTI and its up for the company if it wants to be registered in DSAP. The major benefit why the company doesn't want to be a member of DSAP is for the benefit of the consumer. the company can give as much as 50% discount to all the products and the consumers can still enjoy the Buy 1 take 1 previlege. on the other hand, if you are a DSAP member, the company is given only 25 % discount thats why they don't have buy1 take 1. Business men like wylie chavez, shiryl go have names to take care of in the society. why will they join the business if its illegal.?? Congressman salimbangon fanchised Uno branch to califorrnia, do you think he will risk his name just for a scam company? USA, Hongkong and Macau ares strict countries, do u think an illegal company can put office there?? think it over.. tsk tsk!

  18. UNO is scam. Nadiskubre na walang BFAD CPR (certificate of product registration) ang Kryptorganic na halong chlorella at spirulina. Instead nilalagay na BFAD Number is BFAD LTO (license to operate) No. na karaniwan nakikita nakasabit sa certificates ng pharmacies. Pag walang CPR, the product is not certified by BFAD for safety at hindi mo alam saan galing. A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT. Baka kung saang sidewalk lang galing at napulot nila Humilde. SANA MGA CONSUMERS AWARE SA MGA GANYANG BODOL BODOL NA PARA LANG ME MASABI ANG UNO NA BFAD NUMBER, BFAD LTO PINAPAKITA. BFAD LTO NO. is RW---- OR RD-----.IT STANDS FOR REGISTERED WHOLESALER OR DISTRIBUTOR.ANG CPR ON THE OTHER HAND IS LIKE THIS BFAD CPR NO. FR----- OR DR----- WHICH STANDS FOR FOOD REGISTRATION OR DRUG REGISTRATION. LOOK AT THE LABEL OF KRYPTORGANIC , ITS BEAD LTO AND THE EXPIRY DATE IS 2011, BUT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE IT IS 2013. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT UNO IS A SCAM. THEY ARE USING PRODUCTS TO COVER THEIR PYRAMIDING SCHEME. TAKE AWAY THE BINARY MARKETING SCHEME, SIGURADO THE COMPANY WILL COLLAPSE. hindi lang Kryptorganic ang walang CPR, marami pa dyan ibang products. The marketing plan of UNO is flawed, there is overpayment and sooner or later it will collapse. Kawawa ang mga naloloko. nililito ang tao sa laki ng kikitain kuno. CONSUMERS BE AWARE. ASK FOR BFAD CPR. TRY TO ASK FROM UNO A BFAD CPR IF THEY HAVE ANY. KUNG MERON MAN, BRING IT RIGHT AWAY TO BFAD FOR CROSSCHECKING BECAUSE IT IS VERY EASY TO FABRICATE. IF FOUND RED HANDED ANG UNO FOR FAKE CPR, THEN NBI WILL PICK THEM UP ANYTIME PAG HINDI NAGKABAYARAN. MARAMI NA ANG NAWALAN NG PERA SA UNO KASI UMASA MAGKAPERA.THEN ISANG ARAW, NAGIGISING NA LANG NA WALA NAMAN PALANG PATUTUNGOHAN ANG NEGOSYO NYA. BRACE YOURSELF FOR D'DAY BECAUSE WHAT I AM SAYING RIGHT NOW IS TRUE.

  19. A REGISTERED NURSE??? BE INFORMED YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT MANY THINGS INCLUDING YOUR ASSOCIATION. TONIGHT OR TOMORROW ASK FOR BFAD CPR RIGHT AWAY. PAG WALANG MAIPAKITA ANG UNO, GET OUT OF UNO RIGHT AWAY BEFORE THE P.N.A AND NBI CATCHES UP WITH YOU. SAYANG NURSE KA PA NAMAN. WE WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU. PAYONG KAPATID LANG. KAWAWA ANG PARENTS MO NA NAGPA-ARAL SA IYO.

  20. been working on a research study bout network marketing companies. i found out that not all UNO products are BFAD registered. in fact, they are even violating the R.A 3720. i do have a lot of problems encountered during the study:

    1. getting the organizational chart of UNO
    2. no statement of changes in equity in its latest audited FS (UNO is a stock corporation).
    3. vision-mission statements are different from the UBC centers from the website itself
    4. does UNO keep track of its members? (we tried asking from the management in one UBC outlet but they couldnt even give)
    5. does UNO has long-term goals?
    6. why UNO is not a member of DSAP? how come other top network marketing companies are members of DSAP?
    7. UNO products are not labelled, no manufacturing labels. why are they keeping the public the info they needed the most?

    i hope you can answer on this matter. thank you.

  21. Haven't been checking around lately but I'll answer some of your question.

    1) I'm not sure if this would be related but, some things are not easy to get. Like pulling data (fruits) from branches, things aren't that easy to get... The fastest way is to climb the tree (go to the main building) and get the fruits. Not unless you have the proper tools ready.

    2) I'm not really into stock.

    3) I'm not sure how different it is. But I did encounter some Vision-Mission where there are different versions (Long ones and Short Ones) but not entirely different (not UNO related though)

    4) I'm not a core-member so I wouldn't really know and basically, I don't really care but if asking a UBC Outlet didn't lead you anywhere due to inexperience management or some other issue, then you should ask the Main Branch because all transactions go there if I'm not mistaken. Take note though, you'll be stumbling upon confidential documents so don't get worked up if they just give you a simple "Yes" answer and a little bit of explanation on how they do it.

    5) I can't basically answer that question on UNO's behalf but I do believe that every serious business aim for a long-term goals. Bankruptcy and business closure is every businessman's enemy and would avoid that inevitable as much as possible.

    6) You should read the comments above, you'll find my answer there.

    7) Haven't been ordering stuffs from them for a long time since I've got my purpose from them (gain a more healthy body). But if your claims are true, I'm quite sure it should have already been scrutinized *again* in the TV, (they always have a slot in the morning shows). People investigate things but sometimes they make mistakes with their investigation, whether a good mistake or a bad mistake. As for them keeping info away from the public, I'm not sure about that. As I said, business has all sort of confidential documents but if you think those documents shouldn't be confidential then that's another story. As for "R.A 3720" I'm not sure how they violated it, and if you and others really think they did, why are they still functioning without problems? Wouldn't that mean that the government isn't doing anything to prevent this violation? So, if they got approval from government agencies it's either

    1) Nothing is wrong or simply...
    2) Money Talks

    Either way, the blame wouldn't be just about how flawed you see the business but how flawed the government is.

  22. oh thank for your answers. i appreciate it. :)

    1. im from Cebu. and i cannot fly to Manila to ask for it. my study has its limitations, too. :'( too bad, it would have been better if i can get those juicy information from the main branch.

    2. oh well. i don't too. but as a accounting student, i wonder why their FS is incompleted compared to other network marketing companies' FS.

    3/4. ahhh. so, longer and shorter versions pala yun? haha. nakakatawa kasi when we went to UBC outlet here in Cebu, they didnt entertain us. so we pretend that we're going to be members of UNO just to ask few questions from the management. i do not generalized that all UBC outlets have bad management. i guess nagkataon lang siguro na hindi alam ng management. we couldn't ask other UBC outlets here in Cebu because of time-constraint.

    5. yes, i agree on that too. mahirap nga lang humanap kung anong mga long-term goals nila. sa iba kasi, nakapost lang ung long-term goals nila sa website.

    6. yeah, nabasa ko na pagkatpos kung magpost. hehe.

    7. we checked their files at SEC. since SEC region 7 doesnt have the hard copies of their files, we tried viewing it online thru SEC I-view card (we're thankful for that!) i have no idea why they erase the manufacturer of their products. we checked also their BFAD certification and only 3 products are BFAD registered. i think around 6 are Halal registered. stated in RA3720, products should be labelled with the manufacturer's, BFAD registration No. and other necessary stuff needed to be in the product.

    when we ask a prominent UNO member why the products do not have labels, he answer that those info are "confidential". They are not labeling the products because the consumers might know who are their manufacturers. This is to prevent the consumers from buying the products directly from the manufacturing companies.


    i guess the government itself is not doing their tasks again. marami talagang mga nangyayari, malas lang talaga ung mga nadadakip. at swerte sa wala.

    daghan kaayo salamat for the reply.

  23. Let's go back to definitions:

    Business - An economic system in which goods and services are exchanged for one another or money, on the basis of their perceived worth. Every business requires some form of investment and a sufficient number of customers to whom its output can be sold at profit on a consistent basis.

    Network Marketing - Direct selling method in which independent-agents serve as distributors of goods and services, and are encouraged to build and manage their own sales force by recruiting and training other independent agents. In this method, commission is earned on the agent's own sales revenue, as well as on the sales revenue of the sales-force recruited by the agent and his or her recruits (called downline). Also called multilevel marketing (MLM), cellular marketing, or by other such names, it is a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry that distributes practically any portable item, although restricted or banned in several countries due to its history as a vehicle for CONSUMER FRAUD.

    Consumer fraud - The defrauding of a consumer of various products and services which do not perform as advertised, or overcharging and levying hidden charges through deceptive business practices.

    Who is a "wanna be"?
    Finance professional ~ not a fraud professional.

  24. I'm not a networker and I'm not interested to be one but that anon above makes me laugh. Anyone can pull definitions and bullshits and call themselves professionals. So, what's your point in posting that? Trying to add something to your blunder? No wonder you were called a "wanna be"

    Don't mind me, I'm just a troll passing by.

  29. hi..i share the same sentiments with you d'Greater1, I'm an UNO member and I guess people will never understand the real essence of the business because they haven't see what we have seen, its not about recruiting members that will give you the success but cherishing the learning we got from the experience which had been very beneficial to me and to those people I have shared. Most people are parachute-closed u know what I mean.. and i'm greatful that i'm not the only one who have this kind of perspective..nice meeting u and continue to nourish and inspire people-Ailz..:)

    1. lol keep on sugarcoating your pyramid scheme and disguising its manipulative methods with "learning from the experience ". the bottom line is, uno takes advantage of its investors' money. that's why the initial fee is high at around 7k and that's why recruiters promise high investment returns to attract more and more people. uno needs an exponentially increasing investment base if it wishes to see all its investors properly compensated with its ridiculously high returns promise. uno does this because it doesn't have authentic products that would sell just as much as it earns from its recruiting scheme. uno is a bogus company that taints the name of network marketing. and it's ironic because you members say it is we who are closed-minded when you opted to throw principle out the window and focus instead on just earning a quick buck, no matter what the rest of the world says. talk about selective comprehension. you're nothing but selfish individuals making filipino commerce that of greed and profit. this is why china will always be better than the philippines.

    1. this is so ironic because you can't deny that the bulk of the money you are getting is from the investments of other people. if you rely solely on selling uno's products (which aren't very good mind you), then you'd be swimming in a sea of poor returns. uno in essence is a business of investments, not a business of serving people by genuinely creating quality products for them to use and enjoy.

      you people are just focusing on getting rich that you've lost the essence of effective entrepreneurship. this is why the philippines is behind in the global competition of commerce.

      Delete
    2. Agree, if you had a great product that was easy to sell, they'd be selling that product instead of trying to find suckers who believe they are getting rich. the only product being sold here is an illusion

  33. astig naman nitong scammer na to gumawa pa ng blog para maka-engayo ng mga mauuto hahaha xD

    wag kayo magpapauto dyan sa mga networking na yan makikitid mga utak nyan karamihan dyan walang pinag-aralan at gusto kumita ng malaking pera (kapal ng mukha no? di na nga nag-aral tapos gusto kumita ng mabilis na pera kaya nanloloko ng kapwa kapal no? iba na talaga ngayon kumita lang ng pera handang-handa upakan ang kapwa) wag kayo gumaya dyan

    meron lang ako i-share sa inyo

    ung mga ganyang networking na yan katulad lang yan ng First Quadrant. Remember?? Isa itong networking company or mga grupo ng sindikato o scammer na nakapanloko ng mga investors usually mga professionals na nasilaw sa mabilis na pagkita ng pera pero nauwi lang sa wala na-feature to sa balita. Kung duda kayo i-search nyo sa google

    Para malinawan kayo lalo itong mga nag-uusbongan na mga networking companies isa lang ang intensyon nyan katulad ng First Quadrant mangako ng magandang buhay at magrecruit ng maraming myembro tapos boom! wala na bankcrupt kasi hindi na kaya i-sustain ung "Pyramid" (meron kasi itong maximum point ma-sustain ang pyramid kapag lumampas dito pwede na natin masabi na good as bankcrupt/bagsak na ung networking company)

    kung ayaw nyo maniwala sa kabila ng explanasyon ko kayo na bahala tutal nagpapasilaw kayo sa easy money at pangakong yayaman agad kayo sa kanila. gusto ko lang makatulong :-D

  37. Do you mean the Essentials™? Actually, it's a food supplement so there aren't really any bad side effect except for the first few days to a week, you/some will feel a bit lightheaded (if your body is full of toxin), joints and back will temporarily hurt for those who has rheumatism and arthritis. It means your body is being cleansed, you should drink a glass of water and rehydrate yourself. There are different effects to different people. For example, I take Cobra everyday before I found out about USANA then tried it and like the result so instead of taking Cobra everyday, I just take Essentials™, and what's more, it's good for the body and bioavailable so over 95% of nutrients are absorb by the body.

    If it's about the price, then I'll say it's a WIN-WIN compared to those others you see in the Market and in Commercials. The product contains 112+112 (224 tablets) and can be consumed within 3 to 4 months, if we breakdown the price, it'll be like 30Php per day (you take 2 tablets combination) and the quality is high grade. You'll notice the effect, but most of the time, people are very pleased in their feedback.

  38. wanna know the truth about these network marketing???? UNO for example. it's not about selling their products, the secret behind these is easy.
