Eugene Toquero and Mark Striegl Open Workout at KMA Fitness and Martial Arts Gym

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We caught a glimpse of  Eugene Toquero, one of the brightest mixed martial arts (MMA) flyweight talent from Cebu, and Mark "Mugen" Striegl, Japan-born Fil-Am MMA featherweight, before they enter the ONE Championship cage on the night of April 24, 2015 for ONE: VALOR OF CHAMPIONS.

An open media workout was held at the KMA Fitness and Martial Arts Gym located in Makati city on the afternoon of April 21, 2015 featuring the two fighters of One Championship (formerly One Fighting Championship), Asia's biggest MMA organization..

Both fighters displayed both power and endurance as they demonstrated their speed and agility in the open workout. We can sense their eagerness and excitement towards the upcoming fight night at SM Mall of Asia Arena where thousands of people are expected to watch several matches, five of which will highlight Filipino fighters including the two.

We were fortunate enough to personally interview Toquero, the "Pambansang Siko ng Pilipinas,"  two days before the open workout at our radio show at the Family Business show of Radyo Uno last Sunday, April 19, and we got to know him a little better like the facts that he's happily married with three kids and initially got into fighting mainly for financial reasons. He did expressed his fears every time he enters the cage but believes it is just part of his work as a fighter.

Tupperware Brands Highlights Opportunities in Direct Selling at the 7th Go Negosyo Summit

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Tupperware Brands highlighted income opportunities for women and even students at the 7th Go Negosyo Filipina Entrepreneurship Summit held recently at the World Trade Center in Manila. The event is a yearly project of Go Negosyo, a non-stock, non-profit organization of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship.

During his talk, Mr. Graciano S. Pangilinan Jr., Tupperware Brands’ President and Managing Director shared, “Direct selling is a means to earn extra income that anyone can do—even students! It is a good opportunity for students to study and learn from at the same time. This is a career in itself and can be a fulltime business.”

Direct selling, he said, is similar to the retail business. “But, unlike most businesses, it entails eliminating the middleman by going directly to the customers and consumers. In layman’s terms: YOU are the store,” described Mr. Pangilinan. “The direct selling industry is often misunderstood because of pyramiding scams that have plagued the networking business model in the past. It’s always important to study a company’s marketing plan and know that you earn by selling the products and through hard work. It’s a risky business if you earn solely on recruitment and without a product.”

Mr. Pangilinan explained that Tupperware Brands is an active member of the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines (DSAP), which works hand-in-hand with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the Department of Trade and Industry. Thus, to verify a company’s credibility, he advised people to check whether the direct selling companies that interest them are registered on www.dsap.ph.
