Hahaha. Yes I tried it. And it really makes you go. Especially the tea.

This is really a 2nd job cathy. You shouldn't go into it if you don't want to put in the work its rewarding but damn the hours are long it takes a whilw to build a network that lasts.

Oh my. Now that really is a problem for me because I don't want to do that in the office

I told my Kuya since I am leaving for my expat assignment anytime this year I really cannot do this for business. But my Mom is thinking of getting into it so she has something to do in her spare time. I'll have my blood exam next week and we'll see if the results are good. What I do not like is they recommend to eventually stop all maintenance meds. My Mom isn't too keen on the idea.

Don't stop your meds. Only the doctor can tell you that.

NBI on manhunt for 7 in P500-M scam
By Ghio Ong (The Philippine Star) | Updated April 10, 2016 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said yesterday it is on a manhunt for seven officials of One Lightning Corp., a direct selling and investment firm shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for allegedly duping clients of P500 million.

The manhunt comes after the Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 155 issued hold departure orders against One Lightning president Terrence Kenji Ito and chairman Theodore Yuji Ito and incorporators Aldus Renier Tubiera, Joanary Roxas, Jake Ryu Oprecio, Edmer Maligaya, Kent Ortiz and Marcos Jordan de Mesa on Feb. 29.

All eight are young professionals, with ages ranging from 22 to 28, the NBI said.

Last Wednesday, NBI agents arrested De Mesa in the office of Aero International in Quezon City. The SEC has also issued warnings against Aero International.

Roxas and Ortiz were not at the Aero International office when NBI agents served a warrant issued by the Pasig Court on Jan. 5 against the Itos and the One Lightning incorporators for syndicated estafa, a non-bailable crime.

The warrant – the first, since more complaints against One Lightning are up for resolution with the Pasig City prosecutor’s office – stated that the suspects failed to return as much as P500 million from 100 investors.

One Lightning, formed in Pasig in 2014, initially sold health and beauty products and anti-cancer medicine and recruited prospective investors through networking.

The firm promised up to 80 percent return on investment.

The SEC issued a cease and desist order against One Lightning for selling unregistered securities in March 2015.

The NBI said its agents later found out One Lightning officials set up another SEC-registered company and two others, no longer SEC-listed, all engaged in direct selling and networking.

They put up Forward Direct Selling Corp., which was also slapped with a cease and desist order from SEC for the same violation.

The NBI said the suspects also reportedly set up Aero International and Oasis Wellness and Beauty Corp., which operated without SEC registration.

So long as people are greedy and want money the easy way, this MLM scam will never go away.

Hmm, those were the guys always parked at Shell Emerald with their cars flaunting One Lightning stickers. Kawawa naman yung mga naloko, but really, what else were they expecting.

Singer Ted Ito’s twin sons arrested over alleged P5-M investment scam | Kicker Daily News

Singer Ted Ito’s twin sons arrested over alleged P500-M investment scam
Posted on July 11, 2016 by Ron E.J. Carleon


MANILA, Philippines – The twin sons of Japanese singer Ted Ito has been arrested in San Juan City late last week after they were tagged as the mastermind in an investment scam that duped hundeds of people of around P500-M.

Apprehended by San Juan City police on Thursday are Terence Kenji Ito and Theodore Yuji Ito, president and chairman, respectively, of One Lightning Corporation (OLC), direct selling and investment firm ordered shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year for allegedly duping its clients, including businessmen of nearly half-a-billion pesos.

The Ito brothers are the twin sons of Ted Ito; the Japanese singer whose singles “Ikaw pa rin” and “Maghintay ka lamang” became monstrous hits in the 90s and staples in karaoke shops in Manila and in the provinces.

According to an Inquirer article dated July 11, the siblings were arrested by authorities while waiting in a vehicle along P. Guevarra Street, Barangay Corazon de Jesus, San Juan City on Thursday morning.

A warrant for their arrest had been issued last December 2015 by Judge Genie Gapas-Agbada of Pasig RTC Branch 254.

In April, the SEC has filed more charges against OLC and its officials for continuously offering and selling to the public investment contracts without any permit through a new company called FDS Forward Direct Selling Corp.

Aside from the Ito brothers, also charged with syndicated estafa case – a non-bailable offense – are OLC incorporators namely Aldus Renier Tubiera, Joanary Roxas and Jake Ryu Oprecio who all remain at large.

“The scheme employed by the said corporation was clearly a Ponzi scheme which they tried to hide to trying to appear as a multilevel networking company engaged in the marketing of cosmetic and health products,” said SEC in its complaint.

A Ponzi scheme is described as “a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.”

OLC started in 2014 selling beauty, health and anti-cancer products with a promise of an attractive 80-percent return of investment to potential investors.

I noticed the improvement in looks (weight loss, nice skin) of people I know that are with Unicity. I got curious and was only supposed to buy products but my kuya made me sign up in March
I was never in it for the "business". I stopped using the products because I realized it's cheaper for me to buy supplements separately in the US. But my fat lab still uses chlorophyll until now. It makes her energetic.

I got 3k plus when my little cousin signed under me. That's easy money. My first and only cheque from Unicity. Lol.

I'm just not interested in going to BKK every month or so (that's what the active members I know do) and networking really isn't for me. But I think Unicity is good for people who have PR skills. My fat lab's vet is super active with Unicity. I'm afraid nga magquit sa vet practice
