May isang Pinoy na humihingi ng tulong: Is this a scam? - Pelican Parts Technical BBS

Nasunog daw negosyo at walang wala na.

Tutulong sana ako. Kaso may condo at may Porsche pa. Ano ba namang klase yan? Eh mayaman pa naman pala. Ako nga walang condo, tutulong sana. Nakakahiya.

Oo nga ano, 2004 ang join date. Cool!

I think they're also saying that a lot of families depend on their business for livelihood. No harm in helping out.

Thanks for pointing out the Top Gear coverage.

Kaya siguro hindi maganda sa aking paningin, nung una kasi, ang dating parang walang wala after the fire. "Only 2000 pesos left in my pocket and the shirt on my back." Yun naman pala maraming property, tapos hihingi ng pang-negosyo.

Naintindihan ko kung kailangan ng damit at pang tawid for immediate needs. Pero kung nahingi ng pang-negosyo, tapos meron ka namang pwedeng pang puhunan...

Story about the fire and dog could be true but there is something about his priorities and decisions that I wouldn't agree with.

to paraphrase someone knowledgeable in the field once said, "there's one born every minute..".
it's up to the reader to decide.

Topgear posted, ian king and Soong is helping raising a fund for them. Ngayon ata yun?

It pays to really have a network, for sure mas madami pang mas masaklap ang nangyari compared to his.

The dude is selling his Porsche na ata.

Naalala ko din yung time ni Courageous Catie, buhos din ang tulong. Nataon naman na active sa social media ang parents and magaling how they handled it online.

Yup, he was not upfront so people started doubting his motive.

Actually may savings siya for the family, educational plan, invested in a condo and a porsche. Ayaw nitang gamitin kasi daw para sa kinabukasan ng pamilya nya. But he wants to restart the business to help the 100 employees or so who depended on him for their livelihood. Wala daw masyadong kita un business pero gusto nyang tulungan ang employado nya. May insurance coverage naman pero hindi sapat. Marami di daw syang utang na raw materials for the business. Long story short, kailangan nyang humingi ng $50K to jump start the business again. Ang siste libre ang gusto, no strings attached. Kung negosyo pala to eh di maghanap siya ng partners.

Okay din sa build up for asking help, use the 100+ employees "bread winners" as a leverage.

Yep medyo off for me, andami diyan mas masaklap ang dinanas.

Nataon walang network like him to put up a fund raiser / ask for help like this.

Slap in the face for the proletariat. Pag ordinaryong tao minalas sa negosyo, wala, wipeout.

Pag mayaman nalugi, siguradong may mayamang kaibigang tutulong and mas madaling makabawi.

Ganun talaga, harsh reality. Ayoko lang yung paawa effect niya sa social media. You can ask from your rich friends to help you get back up on your feet, but publicizing it is just poor taste for me.

Ganun naman talaga e. Importante talaga ang connections

Ok lang sakin paawa kung totoo naman. Ang nakakainis, ayaw ibenta ang 911 nya dahil ipapamana pa daw nya sa anak nya. Mas importante pa ba yun? E ang bata pa ng anak nya

[yebo]

simple lang solution ng problem nya. sell the 911 and mortgage/sell the condo. he is eithwr really stupid not to see this or just plain thick skinned to care that he is looking like an ass.

there are more people more deserving of help than this.

My impression on why he does not want to exhaust all his available means is because he is not invested (emotionally) on the business itself. He said that business was built on the 1800s, then he has to be at least 4th generation owner. If this happened to his ancestors who built the business from scratch, I would suppose they would sell all to build it again.

Also, it seems like they are keeping the business running out of goodwill for their loyal employees, he said it is not even earning well anymore. That could be another reason why he is not willing to risk all (I have a friend who also kept their barely earning business so that their employees of over 3 decades don't lose their jobs) He seems like a person with good values, but I'm just wondering why they had to seek help from the public. He needs $50,000 which is around P2.5M, coming from a moneyed background, can't his parents/grandparents/aunties/uncles/cousins/wife/in-laws pool the money to give 2.5M? That's a little over the cost of a Camry or Fortuner. It's not life changing money for the family of a guy who at 38 yrs old can own 2 Jaguars and a Porsche (and those are the only cars we know)

Weird priorities.

I thought meron sya cancer or some life threatening ailment.

His Richie Rich friends are helping him.

I just hope the money goes to those 120 employees (like what he said) and not to a new Porsche.
