Actually naunahan mo lang ako sa pag-gawa ng thread about this. This is networking (binary), ang ninenetwork naman nila eh shoes, bags, and soon daw other consumer products. Mataas ang joining fee dito kaya hindi ako nagtuloy. And besides sunog na ako sa networking, kahit na ano.

Anyone into this?

I am actually part of this business na. PM me if you're interested. We have a seminar at Edsa Shangrila Hotel every week. :)

I'm actually a first-timer myself. Before, super allergic talaga ako sa ganyan. This is my first and last try with this kinda business. I wouldn't have joined if I had not seen how my childhood friend got rich in this. I joined two weeks ago, got two other high school friends to join too, and got my first check of P3,500 last Friday. So I guess it's true. :shrug:

By the way, you don't have to sell if you don't want to. Recruiting 2 people is all you need to do, since it is employing a binary system. Joining fee is P8,880

Yeah, it's at Centerpoint Building. It's todo making it a pain for us during collection days. The elevators are always full. And the ground floor is soooo crowded. And ang daming excited. 3 pm pa ata ang mga sessions nila, 1pm andoon na. Sigh. The guards became extra strict pa.

I wish the management of the building was more selective as to whom they allowed to rent/lease/buy the space. Wag naman sana doon sa ground floor at nagiging traffic yung area na yun. Nawawala yung corporate air tuloy. Sana lang kahit sa upper floors or better yet, a venue with bigger space. Tsk tsk tsk. Parang marketplace na.

Grabe, ganon na talaga ata kasama ang business sa pinas at pati shoes at bags e ginagagamit sa MLM. I even know this girl who is doing some sort of a First Quadrant, pero underwear naman ang binebenta nila.

DTI asked to investigate five companies for pyramiding
http://www.philstar.com/philstar/search_content.asp?article=98898

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has asked the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to investigate First Quadrant Inc. and four other companies for possible pyramiding activities in violation of the Consumer Act of the Phils.

An SEC official said the Commission, swamped with queries about the legality of the operations of First Quadrant, has referred the case to the DTI, which is the agency tasked to look into pyramiding schemes.

"We have referred several cases to the DTI. We have asked them to look into them because they appear to engage in pyramiding activities," the SEC official said.

A pyramid scheme is defined under the Consumer Act as a sales device or business scheme where participants invest in the right or chance to get compensation or gifts based on the introduction of more participants in the program.

The same SEC official said the Commission has been receiving lots of queries from various individuals about First Quadrant, a multi-level marketing firm that sells shoes and leather bags.

As of Oct. 11 this year, the SEC has received 33 queries on the legality of First Quadrant’s operations.

First Quadrant, which holds office at the Taipan Place in Emerald Ave., Ortigas, charges an initial investment fee of P8,880 per member. Investors get a percentage or commission from the sales of the products and through the sales of the people recruited as distributors.

The come-on is that the more downlines you recruit, the more commissions you are able to earn from the sales of those who come after you.

Pyramiding schemes normally require entry fees or compulsory purchases of a fixed quantity or products for the right to join the scheme.

The referral of the case to the DTI was in line with the SEC and DTI’s memorandum of understanding which laid down their respective areas in the investigation of pyramiding and multi-level network marketing schemes.

Based on the MOA, both agencies have agreed to make referrals and findings to each other on cases that are beyond their jurisdiction.

The DTI has agreed to forward to the SEC all MLM cases that violate securities and investment regulations. MLM contracts that involve a monetary investment in a common enterprise with promises of high profits from the efforts of other agents fall under the jurisdiction of the SEC.

SEC, on the other hand, has agreed to pass on MLM schemes that might constitute pyramiding.

The DTI vowed earlier to clamp down on unscrupulous groups and individuals using pyramiding schemes to sell consumer products. It intends to widen the coverage of illegal pyramiding activities to include multi-level marketing schemes that peddle worthless products to conceal their Ponzi schemes.

While multi-level marketing is a legitimate marketing took, it becomes illegal when the products peddled have no value and were obviously used as a ploy to defraud consumers.– Zinnia dela Peña

While I cannot confirm nor deny this, his name is being used by First Quadrant to promote their business. They say that First Quadrant is owned by Defensor and a couple who are supposed to be Marikina shoe manufacturing owners.

Beware of FQ, don't you know that binary system is also known as pyramiding . It is called the Ponzi Scheme where people are asked to invest money and recruit people to earn income, its obvious!

Don't join FQ.

Its not that I'm bad mouthing this company but according to what I have read on the investigation of the SEC, the FQ system is also similar with G - Cosmos,Powerhomes, Multitel, Prosperity.com etc, if you love your dreams and your family avoid these companies.

;) Hey guys, just want to inform you that FIRST QUADRANT with BINARY SYSTEM is simply a PYRAMIDING SCHEME... and basically pyramiding is illegal form of business here and most of other countries.. to give you an idea try to read back your philippine daily inquirer december 9 issue page b7...

its a get rich quick scam.... and getting rich is hard...... there's no such things as getting rich easily, just pay 8880 and the rest is history. and guys your market has a lot of competitors tapos pupwesto p kayo sa greenhills.... stupidity e ang daming bargain sa sapatos don at well known sa mga tao..... ay sabagay hindi naman pala kayo base sa commission ang kitaan kundi sa registration... think! think! think! guys.... you'll give 8880 and you'll receive 2000 worth of products... hahahaha!!!! where did my extra money go????? e syempre sa mga nagrecruit sayo?

in networking you must earn thru commissions and product movements para fair ang business... kaya nga negosyo dahil may produkto at may nabebenta at may sales at syempre may kita dahil may commission ka.... that is legal business... hindi katulad nyo kumikita kayo sa iniinvest ng ibang tao... e paano kung walang naginvest dat week e di wala kayong kita... e ano ang gagawin nyo? dapat ang product nyo unique para sa inyo lang kukuha yung mga tao at malaki ang sales nyo e ang kaso tumabi pa kayo sa greenhills e ang daming sapatos doooooooon hahahah!!!! sabagay, ang kulit ko talga hindi nga pala kaya base sa sales.....

Tadeus, humirit naman si Mr. SoLventBoy at yung mga AGO-GO-RAH-RAH FLP pipol na DUGYOT, MANGMANG, GUNGGONG, UHUGIN, at LIBAGIN! Lintik yung mga MLMers na yan!

I know it all - ALL THE DARK SIDE OF GREEDY FLP RECRUITERS!!!

They say that FLP MLM is a HELPING others business.

Actually FLP is a USING OTHERS business.

You HELP other people by suckering - ay mali - recruiting them pala to FLP "business meetings" where they hear nothing but baloney, brouhaha and AGO-GO-RAH-RAH-RAH CRAP about FLP, Jun Kintanar & his Ferrari, and other MATERIALISTIC DOCTRINES, urging you to quit your "enslavement" - or "employment" no matter how happy you are in your present job.

You HELP other people by teaching them and giving them improvised methods on how to keep their excitement levels high, how to lure them to a state of transient euphoria about unrealistic promises of wealth, how to do the same thing to "build their network of success" by DUPING others into the same ritual orgy of recruiting LOWLIFE con artist MLMers.

You HELP other people by spreading the gospel that EMPLOYMENT = ENSLAVEMENT, that GREED = GOOD, that FLP = MEGABUCKS. You teach others to replicate the success of FILTHY MATERIALISTIC UPLINES to create more and more intermediaries to SIPHON LARGER & FATTER RECRUITMENT COMMISSIONS from your family and friends.

Yung ayaw mamulat sa katotohanan ay namimihasa at PUPULUTIN sa KANGKUNGAN.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU FILTHY FOREVIL DYING PRODUCTS A$$HOLES!!!

we just had a seminar with the DSAP (direct selling association of the Philippines) where the undersecretary of the DTI, Hon. Adrian Cristobal gave a talk about illegal pyramids such as FQ.

Josiah Go, TOYM recepient and chairman of the DSAP and CEO of Waters philippines, an MLM company, has also presented a case study in pyramid sales schemes using First Quadrant as an example.

USEC Adrian Cristobal himself has made it known that FQ is already under very close scrutiny with the DTI, and has also been given a letter to report to the DTI and justify their marketing plan.

--------
Here is a copy of the DAO no.8, an administrative order banning pyramid schemes.

2.1 "Chain Distribution Plans or Pyramid Sales Scheme" means sales devices whereby a person, upon condition that he makes an investment, is granted by the manufacturer or his representative a right to recruit for profit one or more additional persons who will also be granted such right to recruit upon condition of making similar investments: Provided, That, the profits of the person employing such a plan are derived primarily from the recruitment of other persons into the plan rather than from the sale of consumer products, services and credit: Provided further, That limitation on the number of participants does not change the nature of the plan.

2.2 Other Forms of Chain Distribution Plan/Pyramid Sales Scheme. - Without limiting the coverage of the term "chain distribution plan or pyramid sales scheme" above, business, sales or marketing plan or scheme is considered as Chain Distribution Plan or Pyramid Sales Scheme if:

a) A promoter persuades recruits to purchase products, services, credit, title or rank whereby the recruits can receive income primarily from the mere introduction, recruitment or sponsorship of other participants into the scheme rather than from the marketing and sale of products; or

b) Where the profits of the person employing such are derived primarily from the recruitment of the other persons into the plan or scheme rather than from the sale of consumer products, services and credit and said plan/scheme includes, but not limited to, one or more of the following attributes:


b.1. revenues or income are derived from participants' entry fees;

b.2. in order to earn income, participants must sponsor a FIXED number of other participants, each of whom must in turn sponsor a fixed number of participants as in a plan compensating participants BALANCING number of recruits than number of sales volumes;

b.3. a participant's income is dependent primarily upon the participant's slot or position within the organization as determined by the time, date and order of participation;

b.4. participants are not allowed to return marketable and unused products for refund within a reasonable period of time or the conditions for such product return are contrary to the provisions of the Consumer Act and/or its Implementing Rules and Regulation (DAO No. 2, s. of 1993).

b.5. there is no fair market value for the goods received (Fair market value is a price determined an open market system. An indicator would be that consumers would still be willing to buy a product at its quoted price even without participating in the compensation plan).

huwag na sana tayo mag bulag bulagan mga FQ members. Malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw yan, walang biased opinion, only facts. makikipag talo kayo sa DTI? sira pala kayo eh :D

I think FQ will still survive for maybe a year before finally being closed down. let's all be aware of such scams.

Don't join FQ.

Its not that I'm bad mouthing this company but according to what I have read on the investigation of the SEC, the FQ system is also similar with G - Cosmos,Powerhomes, Multitel, Prosperity.com etc, if you love your dreams and your family avoid these companies.

100% correct. I just cant believe that these type of companies bring bad name to legitimate MLM. When it's binary, it's illegal! That's dogma...

Yeah you have products, but you don't earn through those. You earn through recruitment.

Haay naku fraizerph...

ok. answer this quiz first to see if FQ is not a Pyramid Scheme.

1) If i become a member, do i HAVE to pay a membership fee?
2) If i join, will you earn from my membership fee?
3) Do i have to sponsor a FIXED number of participants?
4) Do i have to BALANCE or PAIR based on the number of recruits
rather than sales volume?
5) Does my income have no relationship to my SALES of products?
(hindi ko kailngan mag benta?)

if you answer YES to any of these questions, Pyramid scheme yan.

actually no doubt naman eh. you told us to ask the DTI? didnt you read my post?
The undersecretary of the DTI himself told us about how FQ is under investigation and will soon be asked to defend their illegal marketing plan to the DTI.

You said "This is the easy way to get your goals."
well kid, there IS NO EASY WAY to success. im sure you are still hyped up since you are still new... try to read MLM book, dont just listen to what your recruters tell you.

wag ka mag papa uto, try to do some research for ourself. yun lang, just read any MLM book. i wont even say anything, youll see for yourself.

NO, you DONT have time freedom yet. illusion na yan kiddo.

15K a week wont entitle you to financial freedom either.

good luck, sana mag isip isip ka. :D

I know it all - ALL THE DARK SIDE OF GREEDY FLP RECRUITERS!!!

They say that FLP MLM is a HELPING others business.

Actually FLP is a USING OTHERS business.

You HELP other people by suckering - ay mali - recruiting them pala to FLP "business meetings" where they hear nothing but baloney, brouhaha and AGO-GO-RAH-RAH-RAH CRAP about FLP, Jun Kintanar & his Ferrari, and other MATERIALISTIC DOCTRINES, urging you to quit your "enslavement" - or "employment" no matter how happy you are in your present job.

You HELP other people by teaching them and giving them improvised methods on how to keep their excitement levels high, how to lure them to a state of transient euphoria about unrealistic promises of wealth, how to do the same thing to "build their network of success" by DUPING others into the same ritual orgy of recruiting LOWLIFE con artist MLMers.

You HELP other people by spreading the gospel that EMPLOYMENT = ENSLAVEMENT, that GREED = GOOD, that FLP = MEGABUCKS. You teach others to replicate the success of FILTHY MATERIALISTIC UPLINES to create more and more intermediaries to SIPHON LARGER & FATTER RECRUITMENT COMMISSIONS from your family and friends.

Yung ayaw mamulat sa katotohanan ay namimihasa at PUPULUTIN sa KANGKUNGAN.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU FILTHY FOREVIL DYING PRODUCTS A$$HOLES!!!

Another crappy logic employed by someone who knows nothing about MLM. The business of FLP or any other MLM companies is to offer oportunity with less cost. That's why it's very applealing to people with less income. It's not the company's intention or mission to preach materialism.

Remember a MLM company is composed of distributors with different background. So people join the business with different aims in life. You can't blame someone if he's dismayed by the concept of employment. Or if he savor every moment with his expensive car. It's just a matter of choice. The point is you can achieve wathever in life wether it's material or not. Haven't you heard of financial security? Or good health? Or philantrophy? In the future I want to share my money to any good institution out there. So who's talking about greed?

FLP is a business so its the prerogative of the distributors to show the strengths of business against employment. Which is based on sound arguments. Ask any businessman and he knows the answer. FLP is not preaching against employment. Most of its distributors are employed or self-employed. They love their job. But they do FLP to have stable source of income. If you're a businessman why stay on employment?


Saturation? Far from it. You talk as if you know something. Show us statistics to support your claims. The number of distributors against the whole population or even the poplulation of 18 and older. This is not a pyramid where you live solely on recruitment. Pyramid is a bubble business wherein it grows and then burst. FLP is a MLM company. Even if recruitmet stops, the business continues. Each distributor can live on its own. You haven't even tried the toothpaste or the suplements of FLP. So why say the market is saturated. Colgate and Palmolive is still here but the market is satutated? Or Coca-Cola? Each day a new business is established ignoring the tight competition.

Happiness, possitivity, excitement are the best ingredients to live a meaningful life. So its hard to understand that you find it problematic that distributors engage in these so called orgies. I bet you drink alcohol. Which is better, an orgy of self-destruction or the the other one which is full of hope and optimism? In your argument there is full of hate and anger. Which are not good for all of us. Spare us with your flawed and pessimistic doctrine. That's why the Philippines remains a poor country. The company engange in the spirit of cooperation. How can you say that it's duping. Unrealistic promises of wealth? It's unrealistic when nobody ever achieved it. Flying to the moon is unrealistic? MLM is just a mundane task compared to that extraordinary feat. Peace.

FLP people: I hope I gave justice to you.;) I think Zeratul is a loser who blames everything for his misery.

my friend just explained to me how FQ works..and i find it convincing, who wouldn't want to earn money even tho ur not doing anything... but of course, there are still doubts because i know there is NO such thing as "Get rich quick" without doing anything. it's too good to be true!! i have joined other MLM companies such as FLP and NuSkin. i just used "some" of their products. i don't really want to sell something that i'm not sure of as i don't see any obvious results while using them. also, they are not cheap.

well, i try to look for FQ here in PEX to research and read what ppl has to say b4 i join. well, i dont think i would join anymore :D even though they say u get 50% discounts to their products....well, my reason is that, their products must be overpriced. like any stores who displays a big banner that they are ON SALE up to 70% off....who r they kidding. and i wonder how much are they selling their shoes?? no price indicated at their website. my friend even mention Golds gym and spas are included, well...i don't go to those kind of places so i dont think it'll be useful. i have gentxt and i havent even used it. he even told me that i don't have to do anything if i don't want to, he'll take care of everything, he can put some of his recruits under me, etc., masarap pakinggan!! who wouldn't want that eh?! but, nah! it's too good to be true!

well, to those who are in MLM companies who are earning heaps of money, all i can say is GOOD FOR YOU!! but do u have to brag abt it everytime?!

talaga? ILLEGAL ang FQ? my sister's friend invited me there last week pero ndi pa ako nag-yes sa kanya kc wala pa akong 8k.. hehe.. i guess i have to think about it more pa...

ayoko kc mag-shell out ng 8k for that.. i was in flp before and same with some people, i didn't get back what i invested... 12k isn't a joke..

Strange_Dejavu
Sep 18, 2003, 03:09 PM
8_otcho, you got what you paid for the instant you bought your combo pak. The products you bought for 12K is worth 20K at
retail price. you got even more than what you paid for.

why dont you sell it? maybe you dont want to?:D

why didnt you just retail your 2CC?

why dont you return your products and get your money back? (there is a 30-day FULL MONEY- BACK GUARANTEE.)

if you pay 8,880 in FQ, you will get a "gift certificate" worth 2K for FQ products. what about your 6,880?

where do you think they get the 1,000 they pay the guy who recruited you? where do you think they get the 1,500 they pay the guy who can "PAIR" from your "investment"?

in FQ, if you wanna "get back" what you invested, you have to RECRUIT others. try selling your 2K worth of products, and see if youll get back your 8,880.

who would want to join a company under investigation by the DTI and SEC? a lot of people join those thing simply because a lot of people are ignorant about such thing too.

just buy your shoes, bags, and belts directly from marikina, youll get it A LOT CHEAPER than getting it from FQ.

Up Up Up..

Just attended their seminar last night and I plan of joining them just for the sake of learning how to sell.. Kaya lang I have noticed that they already have a lot of members, amounting to more 165thousand. Parang malapit na ang market saturation nito. But on the positive side, I think they are OK, kasi they also focus on their products (which is a lot) and not only on recruitment.

:rolleyes:

Please advice. Thanks. ;)

gaano na ba kalaki kinikita mo diyan sa first quadrant? kamusta ba ang mga downline mo? kumikita ba sila? o ang kita mo galing lang sa JOINING FEE galing sa kanila?

and if you really do believe their products, why don't u try to contact the supplier direct and get a larger profit margin? Mas malaki pa ang tubo mo dahil siguradong mas mababa pa ang presyo from FQ

If you do believe in FQ, recruit mo kami lahat, ikaw sumagot ng joining fee namin, ano call ka ba?

I can't wait till the end of the next elections. Siguro kaya lang buhay pa ang FQ dahil malakas lang talaga sa gobyerno. Pag dating ng bagong administration at di pa rin tumutumba 'to, talagang malakas 'to

In my case, I won't be able to afford to raise the capital money to directly contact the supplier and get my products from them. ALthough I am still pondering the pros and cons of this MLM, I am keeping my options open. ;) I still haven't signed up yet though, mejo malaking pera yung 8,880 e. :(

And for those FQ peeps, in your case, gano katagal nyo nabawi yung 8880 na sign up fee nyo? Did you sell? or did you just recruit?

Feb 7, 2004, 12:09 PM
Hindi ko nabasa yung report ng DTI, SEC or DSAP regarding First Quadrant, pero having heard how they operate, hindi naman mahirap makita kung ang problema sa ganitong klase ng "business."

Wala rin akong formal or working knowledge about MLMs in general, pero ganito ang dating sa akin bilang isang consumer:

Sa nakikita ko, 2 and reasons kung bakit kailangan ibenta ang product/s through MLMs. Una, masyadong mahal ang product dahil sa amount of money invested in developing the product (uses best raw materials, employs the best R&D team to conceptualize the product, etc.) and therefore hindi pwedeng retail method ang pagbenta because walang kakagat sa sobrang mahal na presyo. Pero effective yung product at alam ng manufacturers that there are people who will be willing to buy it. Pangalawa, dahil na rin sa pagbuhos ng pera (limited capital) sa pagdevelop ng product, walang pondo ang manufacturer to actually go out and market the product through traditional marketing methods like advertisements. So they use MLM to sell the product in a different way. The important points are these: 1. There is a legitimate manufacturer selling legitimate important or high-quality products that are either too expensive or are too market-specific to be sold to the general population and 2. MLMs is used as a business tool to sell the product.


Ang issues ko with FQ are these:

- Yung products na binebenta hindi naman market-specific or ganoon kamahal. For me, wala namang dahilan para magbenta ng leather goods or clothes or whatever FQ is selling through MLM dahil ang mga products na ito ay available in the general market. As a consumer, hindi ko pag-aaksayahan ng panahon sumali pa sa isang company para lang bumili ng mga goods to enjoy a 50% discount, hindi naman ako kadalas bumili ng clothes or shoes. One thing I know about buying stuff is this: I'd rather pay a high price for a product that is well known than buy something cheaper with substandard quality.

- Which leads me to my second point: based from experience, hindi naman ganoon ka-ganda ang quality ng goods ng FQ. My mom bought me a pair of black leather shoes from a neighbor who was selling FQ products (a good example of a person who chose to earn from selling rather than recruiting, so may truth ang sinasabi ng FQ na you have different ways to earn). Nahiya naman hindi bumili ang mom ko dahil inaanak nya yung nagbebenta. So bili. After ilang gamit ko lang (regular use, hindi pinang-basketball or whatever "abnormal" use for a pair of leather shoes) sira na. Kinausap ng mom ko yung nagbenta upang mag-complain; tinigil na pala nung "FQ seller" yung kanyang pagbenta kasi marami daw na rin pala ang lumapit sa kanya na nagrereklamo about the quality of the goods.

- Which leads me to the third issue: if FQ is saying that they are doing this to help the workers of Marikina shoe factories then they're doing it wrong. In fact, they're making consumers feel that Marikina shoes are of subpar quality. You don't try to "beat the competition" by marketing your products in a different way, you beat the competition by creating better products. Lumalabas na sa FQ nauna pa yung "marketing" of the product rather than developing it (which is, as I have stated above, one of the main driving forces of selling products through MLM).

- Hindi na dapat pag-usapan pa kung saan napupunta yung PhP8,888.00 na pinapasok sa FQ. Sinasabi naman nila na yung goods, insurance, selling kit, etc. ay more than enough pa to cover your initial investment, though di mo "nararamdaman" ito dahil ang "tangible" goods lang na nakukuha mo ay yung PhP2,000.00 worth of FQ goods.

- But this absence of tangible goods equivalent to your initial investment poses a problem: you will feel "duped. " Now, it would only ba natural for you to find ways to earn back that initial investment (and then some). You'd think of the best and fastest way to do this, and that is to invite/recruit, which already isn't good. There is already a play on the need of people for money, and therefore nawawala na yung focus sa product (which is again contrary as to why you market your products through MLM in the first place). Although you still have that option to sell, ilan ba lang talaga ang gumagawa nito sa FQ as compared to those earning through recruitment? Anong percentage ng FQ members and talagang nakikinabang? Nawawala yung focus doon sa products being sold, but on finding members who will sell. Napapisip ka tuloy, saan nanggagaling yung pera na pinambabayad sa iyo everytime you recruit someone? You can't help but think na nanggagaling ito sa pera na pinapasok ng mga bagong recruits. Although the products are still part of the equation, hindi na malaki ang impact nito sa whole business more than the way recruiting members does.

- Ayoko rin nung idea that FQ is marketing the idea of getting rich fast, na posible palang kumita ng malaking pera linggo-linggo. Yun nga, kesyo kailangan "magtulungan" kayo, na nakikiramay ang upline mo sa kapakanan mo. If I were in that position, I can't help but feel na kinukuhanan ko ng pera ang ibang tao. And this becomes and endless cycle. Meron pang mga ways to maximize earning, like mga anak mo or magulang mo pwede mong gawing immediate downlines mo para mas malaki ang kinukuha mo...

- Totoong naghihirap ang bansa, but I still believe that hard work pays. And it's more fullfiling. May halong morality issue na rin kasi eh, dahil ang dali pumasok ng pera di mo maiisip kung kanino kinukuha yung pera para lang maibigay yung paycheck mo for the week. It's true: money isn't everything. I'd rather go hungry than have two cars and a business while my conscience bothers me.

Spellbindmedia, ur reading d MLM n deferent perspective, bt i cnt blame u. Ppl hav der dif perspetive n life. we ol hav dif status n life. I cn only say and suggest to research and make a study of *** business s and how it envolve n d market (d cycle ur talkng bout).

Me kagagagrad ko *** and my cors was Computer Network Eng. Which i dont hav enaf idea *** d hell s MLM and how does dis tng do n market world. As my dad s a businessman even before d FQ, he had alot of ideas and knowledge wen it comes to business. So, he made realize how do business and how it work, kc sakin daw pamamana u business namin. Thru family interest i made alot of research and study on business side, sinama ko na din ang MLM coz medyo malaking nfluence sya sa market ngyon. (dat was my story)... den wev been an active member since May 2003 in FQ.

Thru research and study, MLM s really nfluencial business way n market world ngyon. alot of MLM came out. kaya alert and ga SEC, DTI,... to analize which of d MLM and nde sumusunod sa regulation.... btw, MLM as u hav sed, its anader way of selling goods. First of ol, pag new business, dey dont hav enaf money to advertise it thru TV, newspaper... etc... kaya ang mga tao na mismo ang mg introduce thru d word of mouth (1 1/2 years ago). but now *** na ang ng eendorse ng mga products and *** goods industry ang mga nasa FQ na binebenta??? tnk of it now.

regarding sa shoes na nabili, sory to tel u, nt ol business industry hu has a 100% quality on every product. dba sam of d product maski sa market may scraches and defect. meron pa din prob ang iba eventhough may quality control (it jst lessen), kaya dey giv waranty for d products ryt! sa FQ selling area, pwede mo ma try and look for d good one. maski nabili mo na sya, may waranty to change d product pag my prob.

regarding naman sa 2,000php product package, luma na yan! mukhang matagal ka nang napaniwanagan ha! ol members of FQ had 3,000php discount voucher (500 denomination discount cheque). ano pa masasabi mo. from 8,880 - 2,000 (product package), - 3,000 (voucher) = 3,880 nalang!!!! pano pa po *** insurance, discount card, kits,... blah blah.... nde d best of ol, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!!!

auteriro_bhong, m so happy for u and d rest of FQ members! we hav a great opportunity. coz wer enjoying our life as early as now! take note! 7months of hardwork, pro its d answer to our goals and dreams. *** d hell!!!

we cnt blame aders hu dont appreciate FQ. We ol knw dat we hav our own perspective n life. i cn only say s, SORRY!, uve mis d opportunity towards d better life, brighter future, Financially sustain!!!! enjoy life as early as now!!!

PS: ano na ba buhay nyo ngyon? hehehehe! no offense!!!................ so dont be left behind!!!!

fraizerph:

What to you is a "better life and brighter future?" Yung marami kang pera? Yung malaki ang bahay at may Ford Expedition (which seems to be MLMers vehichle of choice)? Yung nakikita ng iba ang success mo? In other words, financial and materialistic ba ang measure mo a better life and a brighter future?

Tama ka when you say na iba-iba ang perspective ng tao. And for me, it is also to succeed, to live a (financially stable) life, and to be happy. Hipokrito ako kung sasabihin ko na ayokong yumaman. Pero gusto kong yumaman doing what I love, and that I see the fruits of my work and I get rewarded for the things I do.

Honestly (and this is just a personal opinion) I wouldn't want anybody who earns lots of money to feel sorry for me for missing out on a great "opportunity." Because I personally chose not to take advantage of that so-called "opportunity." I don't need anybody's sympathy for feeling proud of what I do. And I'm definitely sure hindi lahat ng tao ang habol sa buhay ay ang magpakayaman, at ang magpakayaman in such a quick way.

Kaya kong yumaman, and I'll do it the long-term, old fashion way: I'll earn it, which is what I'm doing now. I work as a freelance artist and I try to find ways for me to make myself more "marketable".

Besides, no one needs MLMs if they really want to succeed in life - I've seen people do it. I think kasalanan na ng tao iyon kung bakit sila hindi nagtatagumpay at kung bakit kailangan nila ng quick and easy way para "makahabol" sa iba na matagal nang nagtatrabaho at naabot ang kanilang mga gusto sa buhay.

Unfair ang society and unfair ang buhay, sa palagay ko wala namang madadaan sa madaling paraan para ma-overcome itong mga realities na ito...sadyang good 'ol sipag and tyaga pa rin ang best policies.

The same goes for me.

Side story. A friend of mine borrowed money from me. I didn't ask where she would use it for and I just found out later that she joined this FQ thing. She used the money for the registration fee. I had no idea what FQ is before so I just thought that she invested the money somewhere. Then one day she started bugging me almost everyday to watch something on VCD. So I asked her what it is all about. She explained to me how it works and I was shocked to find out that she is recruiting me! I mean, I already lent her the money and I am happy for her that she will earn from it. But to recruit me and AGAIN earn some more money from my registration fee??? WTF???

This turned me off plus the fact that, like what SpellbindMedia said, my conscience can't take it. Hard work pays off. Hindi ko masisikmura na kumikita ako ng pera na nakaupo lang ako. I don't know if my info is accurate. If you compare the money that you will earn from selling against recruiting, mas malaki ang kikitain mo sa pag-recruit so tama si SpellbindMedia, you will lose the focus on the selling part coz you won't really earn that much from that. People will start recruiting others to earn more. After a while, meron pa kaya magbebenta?

Anyway, a friend's friend bought 5 shares and he is now all over the place recruiting people to form his required 5 pairs. He doesn't even sell or use FQ products coz he himself admits that the products are not that good. So I asked him why he joined in the first place if he does not believe that the products they are selling have quality. He became silent for a while and started this "opportunity of a lifetime" speech. Cut the crap people. You said 30% earn from selling. What about the other 70%? I need facts. Since you started with FQ, how much have you earned from selling the products and how much have you earned from recruiting?

Oh by the way, you're right. FQ is not for everybody. It certainly is not for me because I DID NOT need this when I bought my house. Pure hardwork and pure determination to succeed paid off for me. I also can sleep peacefully at night.

why didnt you just retail your 2CC?

why dont you return your products and get your money back? (there is a 30-day FULL MONEY- BACK GUARANTEE.)

if you pay 8,880 in FQ, you will get a "gift certificate" worth 2K for FQ products. what about your 6,880?

where do you think they get the 1,000 they pay the guy who recruited you? where do you think they get the 1,500 they pay the guy who can "PAIR" from your "investment"?

in FQ, if you wanna "get back" what you invested, you have to RECRUIT others. try selling your 2K worth of products, and see if youll get back your 8,880.

who would want to join a company under investigation by the DTI and SEC? a lot of people join those thing simply because a lot of people are ignorant about such thing too.

just buy your shoes, bags, and belts directly from marikina, youll get it A LOT CHEAPER than getting it from FQ.

Bullseye!!! Nice post Strange_Dejavu..

Pyramiding is when you get products less the worth of your investment. In FLP, when you shell out 12k, you get 20k worth of products so meaning right there and then, you'll instantly have an 8k profit if u sell the products. :)

while in FQ, when u shell out 9k, you only get 2k worth of goods, so where's the 7k?? :rolleyes: It's obvious na pyramiding to kasi it's like *** 6+k ang pinapaikot nila, naglagay na lang sila ng so-called "product" worth 2k para masabing Networking sila.. ;)

Well, it's still up to the peeps on where they wanna invest their money.. just a tip, STUDY the company [and their products] where u plan to invest your money.. just my 2 cents, if u will invest ur money in a Networking scheme, might as well invest it in a company that promotes COMSUMER goods coz it's much more stable, what made me say that? coz ur network will use it on a regular basis.. well do u buy leather goods on a regular basis? do u buy new shoes every month? :D Goodluck to all. Peace! :)

I feel sorry for the people who will be at the bottom of the pyramid if and when FQ collapses. For every person who made big bucks, there might be at least 10 people who lost 8.8K investment. For every person who was able to afford a Ford Expedition, 10 people might be saddled with debt.

fraizerph: where does the bulk of your five-digit monthly income come from? From the FQ products you sell? Or from commissions you make from recruiting people?

Short term wise, this is a very profitable "business". Long term? HECK NO! I'd rather do AMWAY, FOREVER LIVING, NUSKIN or other MLM companies out there na stable. FQ is a recruting game, they aint.
If you sell a shoe or two how long do you think they would buy again from you? Yeah sure you made 100% markup but that would last for a year or so! Sell consumables then every month they'd buy from you. Besides, the marikina shoes and bags already have discount sales as high as 70% off monthly! no need for the all-time 50% discount of FQ.
That is why the Binary system is very unstable. True, cash flow is fast and big--- only for the persons on top of the pyramid. But hey, I doubt FQ would be a member of DSA. If it is already, well, i might just change my mind. Currently I think FQ is a recruiting joke.

hello guy, just dropin by. i cnt answer all your queries by this time bcoz im very busy setling my papers and documents. Were goin to open an outlet in HongKong soon. so, just post all your comments and questions. ill try to answer that when i came back.

But eto *** po masasabi ko as of now. Chairman Bayani Fernando is also promoting some products of FQ. He signed some contracts and documents. And if you can see our brochure, BF is featured on the last page with his signature. Promoting Marikina Shoe Manufacturing Industry. --- BF is a government official. He knows the policies regarding this thing (promoting). Syempre Every government official na may mga matataas na pangalan dapat magingat sa mga illegal na makakasira sa pangalan nila right!!!. Bakit naman ipinalagay ni BF *** Picture nya? as in 1 whole page sya ng brochure ha! not just 2x2 picture. Eto *** po sa ngayon.

Ill post soon yung mga documents of DTI, SEC, and Permits.... I have already the DTI, SEC and BIR. Ill try to research for DSAP thing. what else do i have to post???

Ill be back soon.

BTW, ill just clarify something.

kennster:
8,880 includes:
2,000 php - product package
3,000 php - discount voucher
???? php - accidental insurance
550 php kits
???? - international discount card
???? - lifetime training
???? - lifetime discounts and many more....

For those na nasa ibang MLM aside from FQ, try to research kung sino mas the best but i think iba naman ang line ng products nila. FLP is medicine, DXN is medicine, Gano is Health supplement, *** else???.... FQ is selling leather goods like shoes, sandals, bags, belts, aside from that meron din polo, shirts, pants (Brands: One & Co., Brent, Gapstar, Barbie for kids apparel and many more..), handsanitiser, make-ups (colour make-ups by Kriz Aquino), Crystals (Joy Lim bt Kriz endorse the product), perfumes, comforter... etc. soon, mga makikita nyo sa grocery. actually may bigas na din doon pro its not included in 50%, discounted lang sya.

Any questions about the products and capital investment??? If anyone wants to witness the product launching on Feb 25, pls let me know so ill reserved you a ticket. The ticket is limited to VIPs because it will held on Manila Intercontinetal Hotel. Hindi kaya i-accomodate lahat ng members around 270,000 business associates. Maybe makakakuha ako ng 3 tickets hopefully. You will see the upcoming brands and new items.

Wish me luck on my Hongkong trip. Til next time.

I think ur not getting what im trying to say here.. When you receive products worth less the fee you payed, then it's clearly pyramiding.. yeah ur earning good in ur business, but that's not the argument.. what im saying is that Pyramiding is Illegal and very UNSTABLE. Also just to correct you, FLP is not medicine, FLP is into Consumer products just like Procter and Gamble.. the only difference is that we use Networking instead of Advertisements.. Also FLP is legally operating and Recognized all over the world and if that still doesnt speak of STABILITY, i dont know what will.. Im not trying to bash here.. let's just be transparent.. :cool: Goodluck on ur HK trip! ;)

fraizerph: ok ka rin noh, pagkatapos mo kaming hiluhin at pasakitin ang ulo sa malabo mong text linggo at mali maling grammar at spelling, gagawa ka lang ng breakdown ng P9,000 niyo, hindi pa clear at accurate. ano yung "????" na pinagsususulat mo?? eh miski pala ikaw hindi mo alam kung pano ang naging breakdown ng perang binigay mo. palibasa ayaw niyo nalang aminin na yun kasi ang pinaghahatian ng mga tao sa taas ng pyramid niyo.

di ka ba makaintindi?? once na mas mataas ang nilabas mong pera kaysa binalik sayo (8,880 membership fee in return 2,000 worth of products AND DON'T GIVE US THE ******** NA INSURANCE, DISCOUNT CARD, DISCOUNTS, TRAINING, etc.) pyramiding scam na yan.

PEOPLE, first thing you should watch out for, dapat equal, if not, mas malaki, ang balik sayo sa perang ininvest o pinasok mo.

FLP has no recruitment fee, the application form is a mere P6.00 at KUNG magaavail ka dun sa P12,000 wala ka pa ring lugi coz the products are of the best quality, has SEVEN seals of approval here and abroad, unique, consumer goods (pagnaubos, bibili ulit ang tao di gaya ng damit, sapatos at bag), and are actually worth P20,000, so if you sell it may P8000 ka pang profit. take note i said "KUNG" dahil OPTIONAL yung P12,000. hindi yon membership fee at lalong hindi recruitment fee.

bakit kailangan may fee ang discount card at trainings??!!? eh kung traditional companies nga, di naman sinisingil ang mga empleyado sa mga trainings eh. in FLP, walang fee ang trainings, they give it to people for free.

tsaka yung mga products niyo, aminado na nga mismo mga members niyo na hindi naman of best quality, pano ka makakarepeat sales sa mga customers mo? bukod sa di naman sila buwan buwan bumibili ng sapatos at bag, di pa maganda ang pagkagawa sa mga produkto niyo.

once you recruit by pairs, binary system yon. anong itsura ng binary system? i drawing niyo at lalabas ang shape ng pyramid. aminin niyo na rin na front niyo lang ang products para kunwari networking kayo when in truth, you're just another pyramiding company.

remember people, if you get less than what you invested, think twice, think thrice, think another time kung legit, legal and worth it ang pinapasukan niyo.

tingnan niyo nalang sa SEC at DTI, sobrang legal ang FLP. there are two kinds of networking, legal at illegal. marami ring ibang legal na network companies pero ang FLP lang ang never nagkaron ng lawsuit. eh ang FQ, pinaimbistigahan pa. FLP has been in business for many years, stable siya, available in more than a hundred countries, cited as the BEST HEALTH PRODUCT COMPANY and the MOST OUTSTANDING MLM COMPANY in the country.

people, i'm not saying na don't join FQ or join FLP instead. matatanda na kayo, may isip naman kayo. i say do the investigations yourselves. see the two sides if you have to.

Hello po sa mga mambabasa, matagal na rin pala nag-start itong thread na ito at marami na rin ang naipost at mga pangyayari. Nakakatuwa at napapatawa na lang ako sa ilang mga exchanges ng mga forumers, may kanya-kanyang mga points naman sila, mukhang aabangan ko rin itong thread na ito sa mga iba pang developments.

Ako kasi nag-join dito through my nephew, and 3 other friends mentioned it to me, yung 2 roon gusto akong irecruit, hehehe. Pero ika nga blood is thicker than water kaya nagparecruit ako sa pamangkin ko.

May mga comments that tends to be negative or against sa FQ at meron din namang positive, gusto ko ring sagutin yung ibang tanong pero, nasagot na rin ng iba, siguro I will respond na lang when needed based on my observation and personal thought.

Hindi rin kasi maiaalis sa isang company na bago na mapansin, may mga companies din na noon pa ay nademanda at naireklamo na rin, siguro halos lahat if not all companies (na malalaki na ngayon at matagal na) nung nagsimula ay nakaranas ng maraming problema gaya ng mga demandahan. From what I have read, na-clear na ang FQ about the pyramiding issue kaya naman patuloy pa rin siya sa pag-expand.

FQ is an MLM business, and MLM gaya ng sabi ng iba is not for everyone, it could work for one and would not work for another one, and yet if you work at it, sinamahan nga ng sipag, tyaga at dedikasyon ay maaaring ikaunlad at ikaasenso ito ng tao. Marami pang mga businesses available sa market, iba-iba rin ang sinusubukan ng tao, pero ano man ito, mapa-consumables o hindi eh nagagamit naman natin ito, gaya ng clothing and shoes, kailangan natin yan, di man palagian but at one point bumibili rin tayo at ang ibang tao, ang point ko rito, ano man ang produkto na kailangan ng tao ay bibili at bibili rin sila, seasonal man or hindi, iyan ay negosyo na nagke-cater sa pangangailangan ng mga tao.

Yung mga products na Philippine-made, for export quality na rin ito marami nang products ang nabebenta sa ibat-ibang bansa, ito ay nakakatulong sa economy ng Pilipinas. Kung ito man ay may problema at mahina ang quality, meron naman itong "room for improvement" para magkaroon ng pagkakataon na mapabuti pa ang produkto at maging "world class quality".

May mga produkto rin ang ibang bansa na mahina ang klase, kahit gawa pa ito sa USA, Canada, China at iba pa, pero sa katagalan ito ay gumaganda dahil nga sa improvement nito, kailangan gawin ito ng mga companies na mapabuti ang kalidad ng kanilang produkto para manatili sila sa sirkulasyon, sa merkado.

Mag-e-expand ang First Quadrant dito sa California, sa Milpitas ang magiging homebase nito at sa tingin ko ay mag-e-expand pa ito sa ibang states, at sa nabasa ko pa ay magbubukas pa ito sa Canada at Hongkong. Malaki ang pag-asa ng FQ na maging successful dito at makipaglaban sa iba pang produkto ng iba't ibang bansa at ito ay mas magiging affordable sa mga kababayan natin dito sa USA. Sa pamamagitan nito ay matutulungan ang Pilipinas sa kanyang economiya dahil mapapabilang ito sa export listings/category/numbers/statistics.

Sa iba namang business na matuturing na MLM at sa mga taong involved dito, ipagpatuloy lamang ninyo ang magaganda at mabubuting gawain at balang araw kayo ay giginhawa rin kung sasamahan ito ng sipag, tiyaga, determinasyon, dedikasyon, ano pa ba? hehehe pare-pareho na yata yon, samahan pa natin ng dasal. At kung kayo man ay yumaman at umasenso ay ibahagi rin natin ang ating tagumpay sa ating mga kababayan, sa pamamagitan nito ay atin din binibiyayaan ang Panginoon, ika nga eh you are blessing God as God continues to bless you as well.

Sa may mga trabaho naman, ipagpatuloy lang natin ito, ako man ay may trabaho pa rin at dahil din sa ating pagsusumikap, pagtitiyaga at kung anu-anu pa ay maaari tayong umunlad, umasenso at makamit ang tagumpay at mga pangarap na minimithi. At kung may opportunity na sa tingin natin ay puwede at kaya nating gawin as long as ito ay legal at moral, gawin lang natin ito.

Maraming salamat po, hanggang sa muli at pagpalain tayo ng Panginoon.

- To my observation I am getting more than what I invested so it's MLM
- there's no recruitment fees, it's an investment, so it is MLM
- And yes there's Binary System Marketing Strategy involved. Pyramiding is a business strategy, some of them are illegal, not all.

Thanks for the "goodluck", I will try to make my own luck and do some actions to succeed, yet to me I don't believe much in luck, but I believe more about prayers and God will do the rest, so May God bless my business and be a blessing to others.

I am willing to partner or tie-up with FQ (with the other business I am involved with/in) like those businesses offering discounts to FQ members or business associates, when FQ opens in California, members will have the chance to avail of up to 50% to Hafa Jerry's Gifts which when bought to the mall or online doesn't give much or no discount at all.

There's one store in San Francisco, whom I have shown the catalog and told them about FQ and they are excited and looking forward to the FQ opening here, they could sell the products in their store which is considerably/reasonably priced, it can compete here. When that happens then export figures will go up and will help the Philippine economy, more productions, more jobs for our kababayans back home.

And my advice to those who have other businesses in the Philippines just like FQ, Forever Living and even the traditional businesses, keep up the good work and I would be happy to see my kababayans to be successful as business people/entrepreneurs. Don't get discouraged with all the pessimistic/negative people around, just move on and focus on your dreams and make it happen.

And to explain furthermore:

First Quadrant Philippines is No.1 because of the Binary System Marketing Strategy where a New Business Associate needs only Two (2) Downlines or Referrals connected to him/her, which means that the succeeding referrals or downlines that joins would be connected to the first two(2) downlines and so on. Meaning that unlike other companies where one can be greedy by connecting all your direct referrals to him/her in FQPI there is HELPING IN THE ORGANIZATION because wether you like it or not you are obligated to help your downlines by passing to them your new members making them earn also and that also applies to your upline where he/she is obligated to share his/her new members down to you.


http://firstquadrantphilippines.com/Nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=12

First Quadrant Philippines, Inc. Offers the Lowest Investment Capital on the Top 5 MLM Companies in the Philippines!

I think the above quote explains my quote, if you want more explanations you can visit this site at www.webfrix.com, it has all the information about the company.

And here's more information as continuation:

In addition to the Superb Marketing Plan of FQPI which would make the Capital Investment of Php 8,880.00 worth it, FQPI believes that INVESTING MONEY WITHOUT RECEIVING INITIALLY ANYTHING IN RETURN OR RECEIVING OVERPRICED PRODUCTS IN RETURN WITH JUST A PROMISE OF BIG PROFITS IN THE FUTURE IS TOO RISKY.

The Risk in not having an equivalent value in an Investment is that the whole thing might just be a Scam or the Promise of Big Profits is simply too hard to achieve and that investors would simply end up losing hope and its simply because of Bad and Unrealistic Marketing Strategies that is why they require a High Investment Capital in the First Place.

To take away doubts that FQPI is really for real, FQPI would not just equal your Investment Capital but Instead Exceed Its Value! you be the judge of this and take a look below on what you'll get when you become an FQPI Business Associate.

For a Small Business Investment of Php8,880.00 FQPI will give you:

50% Lifetime Discount on all FQPI products This privilege alone would make your investment more than worth it.

Php 2,000.00 Shopping Money Shop for FQPI products worth Php 2,000.00 cutting your investment to only Php 6,880.00

Prudential Life Insurance worth Php 100,000.00 To think you only invested Php 8,880.00 you'll be having a Life Insurance which is renewable annually. NOT BAD!

Privilege Card Local and International Discount Guide You'll be having access to DISCOUNTS ranging from 4% to 75% coming from 1,500 establishment worldwide including bars,travel,nike shoes,resorts,restaurants,car shops,major malls etc. and FQPI continually adds establishments to the list

FQPI Membership and Privilege Card

Php 3,000.00 Discount Voucher Since October First Quadrant Phils. Awarded All its Old and New members with a whopping Php3,000.00 bonus making the initial Investment of Php8,880 all the more worth it.

First Quadrant Credit Card (MetroBank) All Business Associates are entitled to a Credit Card by Metrobank this reassures the stability of First Quadrant Phils. because no less than the No. 1 Bank in the Philippines is Affililiated with us

how are you getting more than what you invested if you shell out P8,880 and get ONLY JUST P2000 worth of products? what kennster is saying is yung initial shell out and payback sayo. kitang kita naman na lugi ka coz nawala yung P6880 mo. ay oo nga pala, RECRUITMENT FEE kasi yon. and don't give us the ******** na for discounts and trainings yon coz one other BETTER, MUCH BETTER company, a LEGAL MLM company is giving out FREE discounts and trainings too.

FQPI believes that INVESTING MONEY WITHOUT RECEIVING INITIALLY ANYTHING IN RETURN OR RECEIVING OVERPRICED PRODUCTS IN RETURN WITH JUST A PROMISE OF BIG PROFITS IN THE FUTURE IS TOO RISKY.

hindi ba kayo ang may overpriced products? mga tao niyo mismo ang umaamin na mas mataas ang presyo niyo kaysa sa ibang stores o outlets kaya pagnagbigay kayo ng discounts, eh di ganon lang din, parang wala ring discount coz people can buy it at a lower price somewhere else.

FLP has no risk. first of all, OPTIONAL ang P12000 investment. you need not shell out that amount to become a member. eh sa inyo, no money no membership, sorry.

and if ever you do decide to invest P12000, the actual worth of the products given to you is more than P20000. kung sa inyo magsasayang sila ng P8000+, samin magkaka profit ka ng P8000+. so wala ka talagang lugi, and the FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS are of the HIGHEST QUALITY, has seven seals of approval, and adjudged as the BEST HEALTH PRODUCT COMPANY throughout the country by the prestigious CONSUMERS UNION OF THE PHILIPPINES.

Q: Can we use the First Quadrant Voucher (FQV) to purchase items in the Regular Product Catalogue?
No. FQVs can be applied only to products and services contained in the Special Product Package Catalogue.

limited pa pala ang vouchers niyo...tsk tsk...

Q: What happens when my Insurance and Discount Card privileges expire after one (1) year?
No problem. It's renewed automatically for a minimal fee of P1,000. The fee is deducted on your next paycheck. No cash out, no documents required, no hassle. You get to enjoy uninterrupted protection and benefits.

may renewal fee pa kayo???? DOUBLE tsk tsk.... feeling niyo ba MINIMAL ang P1000??!?!? P10 ang minimal, P100 pwede pa, P1000???? hayyyy..... eh ni hindi mo nga magagamit even half of those discounts tapos magbabayad ka ng P1000, LUGI KA PA!! 4% discount sa medyo magagamit mo at 75% discount sa never mong magagamit...

Thanks for your explanation Brigitts, I've read them all, ang business kasi it's not one time deal, it's a long process, para sa akin hindi ako lugi riyan, kasi it's an investment, meaning you anticipate and you look forward to getting more later as you build your business. And I believe you get P3,000 worth of products so one can sample it and use it. Regarding the Insurance and Discount Card renewal fee of P1,000.00 per year, if you are getting bonuses, that will be easy to pay and I won't mind paying it every year. Now what if they're not getting bonuses? Then there must be something wrong, perhaps the person is not doing anything to make it big in the business, perhaps no action being taken, just for one direct referral entitles you to P1,000.00 bonus eh di meron na pambayad sa renewal. Siguro naman ang isang tao eh hindi lang isa ang puwedeng marecruit or mainvite to join in the business. I am already in FQ business and I believe I will benefit from joining, I have shown this to one business we are supplying (gift items) and they are excited and looking forward to the opening of FQ here in California, they can sell the products in their store and share the business to others, and no one will and can stop them from doing it.



Okay sige, sabihin na nating mas maganda ang iyong business, ang masasabi ko lang diyan, keep up the good work and continue doing it until you fulfill all your dreams in life, slowly or fast depending on how much effort you exert on it. God bless your business and I hope and pray that you will be a blessing to others. I have seen the FLP website and I am considering joining too, I hope you won't stop me from doing that. Imagine if ever I do that, I have FQ and I have FLP, I am sure they have different products too, meaning they don't carry the same product lines, if they do then, I still have to review and find out, from my understanding FLP has consumable products that people uses on a regular basis. FQ products may be seasonal and yet people need clothing and other products in it, and it could sell in the USA and Canada. Other people have different/several businesses they are involved in and I don't mind doing it both as long as it will benefit me that I can share and pass it on to others.



I don't know exactly how many business associates FQ has, but I can't blame them from joining or they can’t be wrong in their decision to join, because there are lots of people that are successful that makes it real big and I am sure there are lots of people too in FLP that makes it big too, and you could be one of them. I am encouraging all business associates of FQ and even FLP to really strive and work hard or smart and continue on fulfilling your dreams and turn it into a reality. Para naman umunlad ang Pilipinas at ang mamamayan/kababayan natin, I would like to see that happen so they don't have to go abroad and work but rather go abroad and travel as tourist.



And if you're one of the many successful person in FLP, I encourage you to visit and tour California or other states in the USA and enjoy your trip, that goes to FQ business associates as well.



Regarding the discount naman, ewan ko lang kung bakit parang may napapansin akong "bitterness" or paninira, napansin ko lang, I could be wrong, di naman kasi ako perpekto pero I will explore and find out all those businesses that offers discounts. Kung magbukas na ang FQ rito, our business will tie up with them and offer up to 50% discount, at sa tingin ko naman sa panahon na merong okasyon gaya ng mga birthdays, holidays or any other celebrations eh magagamit naman siguro ang mga regalo (3,000+ items), we can even offer sub-wholesaler possibilities without having to pay anything except when they buy the products.



To all FQ business associates, FQ is expanding, that's a very good sign, it will reach California soon and I am encouraging you to inform your friends and relatives here in California (others states will follow, as long as there are Filipinos) to take a look at FQ business opportunity and join to avail of the many benefits FQ has to offer and again this goes to FLP business associates as well. Thank you very much for reading and God bless us all.

IN FOREVER LIVING:
To be a member, just sign-up, pay SIX PESOS for the form, and THATS IT UR A MEMBER, and at the same time you'll have a 30% discount on all products. You can also purchase products at wholesale price, sell it at retail. No FEES whatsoever. Remember, The COMBO PAK is an option, you dont have to buy it to be a member. :)

IN FIRST QUADRANT:
To be a member, you need to shell out a whopping P8,880 and in return, you get products worth P2,000.. what the? where's the remaining P6,880.. hmmm smells fishy. :rolleyes:

IN FOREVER LIVING:
I could recruit a THOUSAND people and not earn a single peso until someone buys a product. there is NO RECRUITMENT COMMISSION IN FLP. PURE AND SIMPLE. Your salary depends on the PRODUCTS you and your NETWORK move. :)

IN FIRST QUADRANT:
You need to recruit people willing to shell out P8,880 so you could earn a P1,000 recruitement fee per head, and if you recruit by pair, u get a P1,500 bonus. I think the products are just a lame excuse here. :rolleyes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep in mind that in order for a company to be recognized as a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company, it should promote PRODUCT MOVEMENT. Well i stated the facts, it's up to the people to judge. Peace y'all :)

Hay, salamat akala ko mahaba na naman ang explanation mo, I think I have mentioned that I am considering joining FLP, it's an option for me and a choice, I don't think na tinatanggihan ko iyon. As a business person, they are open to many options, choices and opportunities, ika nga eh man can't live by bread alone, they need something else to survive. So it's up to them to get those for them to thrive through and stay in business. I am happy with FQ and will be happy to any other business opportunities that I can join in and have, and FLP could be one of them, need I say more? God bless your business, keep up the good work and may you be a channel of blessings to other people while you continue to receive many blessings in your business/es.

To all business minded people and who are already involved in any, keep up the good work and God bless your business/es as well. I love to see my kababayans succeed in life so they don't have to work abroad (and be away with their loved ones), because right there in the Philippines, there are many (business) opportunities.

God bless your business/es and your network and as I have told brigitts, may you be a channel of blessings to other people as you continue to receive blessings and reap the rewards of all your efforts.

To the prospective business associates wether FQ or FLP, keep up the good work, work at it with enthusiasm and all other factors and means to make it successful in the business and God will bless you more as you share it to others.

Sa mga FQ Business Associates, bukas na po ang FQ International Inc., sa may Milpitas, California, paki-check lang ang website for more details, I was there with the grand opening and it was very successful, ang daming tao during the morning and evening events, the FQ products na gawang Filipino ay nasa California na ngayon, very competitive and presyo, afford ng mga kababayan natin dito at mas mura pa sa mga leading malls dito, kaya pang export quality talaga ang mga gawang Filipino, more orders and demands are coming up, kaya more business to the manufacturers of Filipino products under FQ and their constituents, more employment sa mga kababayan natin sa Pilipinas and more export revenues na nakakatulong din sa economy ng Pilipinas.

Kaya sa mga FQ Business Associates na based sa Pilipinas at sa iba pang bansa at sa mga interesado pang sumali, you can inform your friends and relatives in the USA to join in and or buy even as customers, malapit na pong magbukas din sa iba pang bansa gaya ng Canada na kalapit lang ng USA, susunod pa rito ang mga states na maraming Filipino rin, kaya the future is bright for FQ International, Inc and FQ Philippines Inc.

Yan lang po muna ang mga balita, sa ibang mga balita naman na nababasa natin, kindly show people proof in black and white and supporting documents and not from mere hearsays, baka napasalin salin na ang balita at sa bandang huli ay may dagdag-bawas pa kaya hindi nagiging maganda ang resulta. And get the information from reliable sources, those who are "in" the FQ business and not from outside sources that maybe unreliable and baseless, that we can say na paninira or some sort of crabbing.

In the meantime, let's continue on with our lives and do/be the best we could be, sipag, tyaga samahan pa ng dasal at action. Maraming Salamat Po at pagpalain tayo ng Maykapal.

Just happened to pass by this thread and I want to post my experience with this company.

I used to work at a call center at eastwood and do a little commercials on the side for extra income. My friend introduced me to the business about a year and a half ago, and I seriously did it (part time) for about 4 months, then went to full time after my income at first quadrant exceeded (to almost 3x) what I was earning in the call center.

So far, I haven't experienced any major problems with the company other than they sometimes run out of certain products, or when it gets a bit crowded in the (greenhills) office. But thats about it. No problems with the checks ever since.

With my current income of P00-75T/week, I was given the opportunity to save enough money to buy a franchice or put up a business of my choice. It has also allowed me enough freedom to pursue the things I want to do. I am posting this not to brag but to be a testimonial of the enormous opportunity that this company brings.

Anyone can do it. But of course this isn't a get rich quick scheme since it will also demand some hard work at the beginning. The real key to becomeing successful in this business is helping people.

actually matagal na akong iniinvite dito sa FQ dahil shempre nde ako makajoin dahil medyo nasa isip ko eh pyramiding. Tulad ng Powerhomes, etc... at iba. Pero nung na-analyze kong mabuti at napuntahan ko office nila sa Greenhills ang masasabi ko eh stable na company.

kaka member ko lang last month. mababawi mo rin naman agad eh.
breakdown

2K - For Products
3K - Voucher para sa mga products din nila

so me worth of 5K para sa mga products nila.

sabihin na nating kumuha ka na rin ng pair.
1k Per head plus 1.5K pairing edi me 3,500 ka na?


5K + 3.5K = 8,500 Pesos.. me 380 ka pang natitira?

sabihin na natin yung 5K na products na ginamit mo eh ipangbebenta mo. Example Yung shoes sa SM is 2K nakuha mo lang shempre ng 1K sa FQ. Then ibebenta mo ng 1.5K eh di me kita ka ng 500 Pesos di ba?

i was also invited there...went to gh and saw their products....i didn;t like their products actually, it's sooo common i can buy the shoes/sandals at a cheaper price in malls na less than 1000 pa. even the bags, make-up, clothes, jewelries, etc...i wonder if Kris even uses their make-up e yun pa mahilig sa imported products yun. i prefer the make-up line of Forever Living Prod. w/c is an organic make-up tipong kahit may skin asthma ka or super sensitive skin mo e d ka matatakot gamitin make-up nila...and Kris even uses their make-up :lol:

visit www.foreverliving.com or my flp site www.geocities.com/myflponline ...it's available worldwide, in 100+ countries na. what i like abt here is that their products are unique and joining is cheap! P6 lang...

Just happened to pass by this thread and I want to post my experience with this company.

I used to work at a call center at eastwood and do a little commercials on the side for extra income. My friend introduced me to the business about a year and a half ago, and I seriously did it (part time) for about 4 months, then went to full time after my income at first quadrant exceeded (to almost 3x) what I was earning in the call center.

So far, I haven't experienced any major problems with the company other than they sometimes run out of certain products, or when it gets a bit crowded in the (greenhills) office. But thats about it. No problems with the checks ever since.

With my current income of P00-75T/week, I was given the opportunity to save enough money to buy a franchice or put up a business of my choice. It has also allowed me enough freedom to pursue the things I want to do. I am posting this not to brag but to be a testimonial of the enormous opportunity that this company brings.

Anyone can do it. But of course this isn't a get rich quick scheme since it will also demand some hard work at the beginning. The real key to becomeing successful in this business is helping people.

Keep up the good work and continue to inspire and encourage people to do their best when they join this kind of business, and now you have other business other than FQ, congratulations. I hope and pray that more people will be successful like what you have experienced, with the current situation in the Philippines, all we need is to help each other towards financial freedom and free from bondages. Focus and or concentrate more with the business that helped you made it and claim your success. Isn't nice to see that all our kababayans can afford to buy everything else they need, it could be materially but the effect is so rewarding.

As you may already know, FQ is already open in California, the rest of the states will follow so if you have relatives or friends here, introduce them to the business, they may or may not like it but what is important is you shared something that could also help them in the future, introduced your business and just continue on.

God bless you and your other businesses.

kaka member ko lang last month. mababawi mo rin naman agad eh.
breakdown

2K - For Products
3K - Voucher para sa mga products din nila

so me worth of 5K para sa mga products nila.

sabihin na nating kumuha ka na rin ng pair.
1k Per head plus 1.5K pairing edi me 3,500 ka na?


5K + 3.5K = 8,500 Pesos.. me 380 ka pang natitira?

sabihin na natin yung 5K na products na ginamit mo eh ipangbebenta mo. Example Yung shoes sa SM is 2K nakuha mo lang shempre ng 1K sa FQ. Then ibebenta mo ng 1.5K eh di me kita ka ng 500 Pesos di ba?

Keep up the good work too and congratulations for joining FQ, just like Kace, in due time, could be faster or at your own pace, you'll be able to achieve even more what others have achieved, like you could also venture in, invest or start up another business that would help you attain financial freedom. Continue to support Philippine made products, with FQ's opening in California it will definitely help the Philippine economy with it's export receipts and it continues to improve to compete in the international market.

If you happen to know someone from California, you can introduce them the business, show them the site and tell them about the branch here in California, sooner or later it will conquer the whole USA and would reach Canada and other countries. Isn't it nice that with FQ as a new business on it's 3rd year have accomplished a lot already and have helped more of our kababayans with their financial needs and they have gained more friends and experiences that will also help them towards success.

God bless your business and more to come your way.

Congratulations too with your FLP business, may you prosper more and be successful with it, so that you too could have financial freedom and could help more people especially your family and relatives and yes even your friends. Just like Kace, you can also venture in with other businesses available, it's okay if it's not FQ (since you don't like it as you have mentioned like it didn't passed your standards, we have the freedom as to whom to patronize, whether we get something back or not), this (FQ nor FLP and other MLM biz) is not for everybody just like any other businesses, different folks and different strokes and strategy. People can just be customers and yes then can still join the business as they pleases themselves, as long as they want it, as long as it will benefit them, just like the benefits you have been getting to your FLP biz).

God bless your business and more to come...

hi people..i just got home from a free dinner in aveneto only to find out that iwas being recruited in FQ. i dunno the guy sounded so convincing that eventhough me and my husband are a little tight right now on the budget he was so convinced and was very much willing to join FQ. so i decided to visit this site hopefully to find out if there really is such a thing as "easy money". however, after reading some of the things posted here, im really having second thoughts. the part of taking home P2000 worth of marikina made stuff was kinda fishy to me since my dad owns a shoe factory and P2000 is way too much for thier so called "packages". im really confused here. i want to join since they claim to give good opportunity or some crap like that but at the same time, im not very comfortable in the idea of swindling someone else's money to gain money...phew! help! enlighthen me people. i dont have anything against FQ i just want to know the real score. thanks.:confused:

Hello sexythang, thanks for sharing your thoughts with all of us. If you want to hear more of FQ success stories go to www.firstquadrant.org if you want to review how the business works since you have already heard and seen it, you can go to either www.webfrix.com or at www.geocities.com/fqjecal for detailed review and explanations.

Right now they are giving P5,000 worth of combined packages based on retail price, that is part of the P8,880 you are investing to be a business associate of FQ. Now investing is different from swindling, do you feel that the one that is trying to recruit you is trying to swindle you for money? Or do you see the bonus of P1,000 and or P1,500 as incentive for recruitment or sponsorship as your money being swindled from your own money that you have invested? In MLM business, people are rewarded with the people the have signed up, that's from the company policy to reward people who have worked their way in sponsorship. When I joined FQ, my nephew sponsored me and I didn't feel that I am being swindled because of the bonus he is getting. Right now I am not really eager or really demanding that I sponsor or recruit people to join FQ, but I have signed up my mother in another lineage so that I can also work for that line in the future should I have more people under me. My mom, didn't felt that she was also being swindled, she have seen the business explanation and have nothing against FQ.

Again if you want to hear more about the real score, ask the people who have been in the business, who are "in" the business and not from the outside sources which are somehow for some reason are confused as well, I could be wrong but I think they are confused that they are saying/thinking negative things but been wanting to join.

One other reason, why I joined is because I have another business (just small) which I would like to have affiliation through Countdown Philippines (www.countdownphilippines.com) which offers discounts to customers/consumers, FQ offers that discount privilege to their FQ BA or members. If and when that happens which I think is very possible, then I will be offering discounts to FQ BA's that could also be our subwholesalers/subagents, that's if they are interested. Right now our market is in the USA and Canada and soon to be in the Philippines.

One more thing, I know it's only money and yes it is hard to earn money in the Philippines, but if we have the right motive, right attitude, joining an MLM business wether FQ, FLP and others available (those legals of course) would gain you more friends that will help you along the way, and that's priceless.

And if you think, it's not for you, it's not your cup of tea and not your personality, then by all means don't join, that's when regrets sets in and bad mouthing and sour graping follows along, and then there's hearsays that's been passed on from one person to another and by the time it get to you, it's all distorted and or even made up just to destroy the reputation of the company/business. But don't you worry, there will be another opportunities out there that you could proudly join in and will be oustpokenly share to everyone that you know, and if you found one, please by all means too, share it with us and we'll be glad to check it out, but don't be surprised if for some reason it's not also for us, not our type, not our cup of tea and not our personality, because MLM business is not for everybody, there is some other business that is also for you, for me and for the rest. Just don't loose hope and move on towards your success and financial freedom, don't let anybody get you down and discouraged nor steal your dream.

Thank you very much for reading, God bless you and have a great day. I hope this helps/helped.

That's alright Masquerade, just like my earlier post, there's a lot of business opportunity available that could work good and well to different people, it could be "in" for some people and not all, and could be "out" for some people and not all. You could still be a customer and a friend of those who invited you, if you don't like to be a customer nor a friend, I guess that will still be fine... it will be not your lost nor their lost, so we'll all move on.

And to sexythang, just wanted to remind you too that FQ is already open in California, just like my previous postings in this thread, if in case you signed up, you can inform and introduce the biz to your friends, family and relatives here, if you don't have connections in California then maybe we'll wait til FQ opens in other states of the USA, in Canada and other countries. It's up to you really, the choice is yours, do you want to join the ride? If not now, there will be another ride available, if never, that's alright, you're still a friend to the one who invited you, if not then you could be a friend to him/her/us and we'll let you ride and tag along on our vacation trips.

Also, one of my cousin have seen the opportunity already from another person, I followed up on him and he's interested, gave him vcd's that explains the business and sooner or later, they'll be "in" because it will be my wedding gift to him and his wife. Now, will I feel that I am swindled? definitely not, because I could gain bonuses for direct referral and or pairing.

God bless us all, those who are already in the FQ business and all other legal MLM's out there in the Philippines. Keep up the good work and we'll see you all at the top...

That's a good question (with regards to DSA - is it the Direct Seller's/Selling Association?), I wish I know the answer but I can find that out, now maybe if you can call FQ Corporate Office and ask to be connected to the upper management, like the CEO, CFO or COO then they'll be able to provide you with an answer, they can probably show you all the legal documents in running a business in the Philippines. And if you do found out the legalities of the FQPI company, please let us know here and post if it's really legal or illegal, I think there was issues before that DTI made an inquiry but FQ was all cleared of the allegations by the skeptics and detractors. With regards to SEC or DTI (they've conducted an interview, research or investigation and they we're cleared of all the allegations as stated earlier) accreditation? Yes they are accredited, they have the copy of it (SEC accreditation) in the business manual. FQ has been in existence for 2 years, now on it's 3rd year, they are paying taxes to the Philippine government, bonuses are being taxed too, they are one of the many contributors of taxes as source of fund for government projects and services.

As for California, I can provide you with the information like their Seller's Permit, Business License, California Board of Equalization number, it's all in the Business Manual. And maybe too, we may have to direct you too with the management of FQII, if you have questions too or needs verification of the legalities of FQII company in it's operation here in California, USA.

Great move for FQ to go international and start here in California, supported by the Mayor of Milpitas City, California who is also an FQ member and I believe the former Mayor of Daly City, California have also heard and seen FQ, I won't be surprise if he too would be a member of FQ and be an business associate as well.

There's no doubt in my mind that FQ will make it big here in the US with the backing of the many BA's that have already signed up and have seen the opportunity working for them. And with FQ opening in the US (and other countries to follow) it will help the Philippine economy with export receipts figures, with employing more people in the Philippines, that's why it is also being endorsed and acknowledged by former President Cory Aquino and current President GMA.

FQ products are "gawang Pilipino", proudly Philippine made and export quality that's why FQ made it in the USA.

What more can I say but to support FQ company with a great mission to the Philippines and the Filipino people worldwide.

Thank you for reading and God bless us all.

Thanks HafaJerry for answering my question. Although I'm already determined to join this company (coz I saw in INQ7.NET that FQ has been cleared of allegations), I was just wondering why FQ hasn't applied yet in DSA for membership. If an MLM company is a DSA membership kasi, people would automatically think that they're completely legal, thus giving an advantage for FQ to invite and actually get more people to join :)

by the way who's paying who in first quadrant? or where is the commissions coming from?

First Quadrant paying your commissions? or new people (your friends) investments paying for your commissions?

i'm really hands up with awe to First Quadrant owner.... all they do is set up the company with products as props and set up a compensation scheme .....for every investor or recruit, you get THE OPPORTUNITY to earn commission and first quadrant gets profit......you work hard to keep recruiting for more investor for commission and first quadrant gets more profit for each recruit of your friends.... WHAT IF THE RECRUITING or INVESTING STOP! what will happen to multitel...ooopps i mean first quadrant? anyone?

Hope that when this thing blows and out sa media, Carlos Agassi will pop out and shout VICTIM! and then return all the money and say it's all just a show so that no one gets hurt. and the amount of 400,000 plus memers x P1,000 first quadrant get from each investor will be return.....the biggest reality show ever done.............

what! FQ gets P400,000,000... no wonder there's JC Martin, Proest, Legacy for Life, igen portal.... those kind of business owner knows that there is a big market demand for this kind of investing to help them make BIG i mean really BIG profit in a very short time........they are very very smart business people ....

just a survey out of the 400,000 plus members how many gets a check? the minimum check of P1,000

so how is this helping our economy? anyone?

Hi guys, member din ako ng FQ. Ive been a member for 2 weeks pa lang and i've really been rewarded well for my efforts. Kahit na ani pa ang sabihin ng ibang tao tungkol dito sa pinasok ko, hindi ko na papansinin kasi it has really been helpful. Dun naman sa mga members na nagsasabing walang future dito, siguro depende na sa effort na gagawin mo. Bakit ko nasabi? kasi kami kumikita eh. Depende siguro sa nasalihan mong group. Kase our group devotes most of our free time para dito and we believe in the business. Yun lang naman yon eh. Maniwala ka lang.

Dun sa mga skeptics pa rin hanggang ngayon, tingin nyo ba makakapag bukas ng main office to sa Califronia kong hindi to legit? and the company has been going for 2 years na. It won 3 awards already and is being endorsed by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Corazon Aquino. Dun sa mga willing maniwala, kung ako sa inyo give it a try. Malaking tulong talaga.

MANELS - Product Provider

LORDSWILL MOVEMENT

IGENESYS and PORTAL INNOVATIONS are failed companies merged with the other two. Ngayon naging IGEN-PORTAL. Hmmm... baket papalit palit ng pangalan ang company? Beware.

if you don't have anyone who you are positively sure who'll join, don't join. kasi hindi ka rin tutulungan ng uplines mo, like what they claimed when they were recruiting you. kahit kamag-anak mo pa yan. my upline was my long-time bf's relatives, pero hindi nila ako tinutulungan. the "tulong" they're giving me is bigyan nila ako ng downlines ngayon pero i have to recruit para mabayaran sila. i don't think tulong yun. mappressure pa ako. and ayoko rin dagdagan ang pagkakamali ko. ayoko rin naman magrecruit ng mga kaibigan ngayong wala pa nangyayari sakin (ni isang singko wala pa bumabalik sakin). hindi ako ganun ka-garapal.

if you're the type na ma-PR and can tell kwentong barbero stuff, o kaya naman experienced in hard-core selling, i think kikita ka dito. pero if you're like me who prefers to verify first if the program works before recruiting, i suggest do not join kasi hindi ka talga kikita unless magrecruit ka.

just my experience. fyi, i'm a member for more than a month now.

if you want to earn additional income, go for the usual stuff. direct selling or buy and sell. or u can make stuff you can sell. at least dun kahit singko may babalik ***.

hmmm... hey guys, 8 mos. na ako sa FQ and I tell you grabe ang naibigay ng tulong sa family ko FQ. malaki kitaan but you really have to work hard. kumbaga... ito para sa masipag, matiyaga may determinasyon at may diskarte. of course it depends a lot on the group na sasalihan mo. kaya lang parang hindi yata maganda yong upline na tutlungan ka pero ipressure ka magrecruit para mabayaran mo sila...hmmm.

ito naman walang pwersahan, marami dyan nagmember only to enjoy the 50% discount at direct selling ang ginagawa, i know somebody from cagayan na dito nagfofocus kasi big time customers nya.

all i can say is that kahit anong legitimate mlm pasukan mo, nasa sa iyo talaga how you are going to work it out. total it's your own business... swerte mo lang pag talagang comitted ang uplines mo para tulungan ka.

my husband who worked in the government service for 8 years e nagresign na at fulltime FQ na kasi we have comitted ourselves to our downlines. kung gusto mo sali ka sa group namin and we'll help you build your network.

Kung hindi ga makapal ang mukha nyo, dont ever push your self or magpauto sa matatamis nilang dila na sumali sa ganitong business... It's really a waste of money and pagminalas pa kayo sira ang buhay nyo...If you're an employee ididiscourage nila kayo na kesyo wala daw future sa pagiging employee... mga ganung pang-uuto ga... Tapos magpapromise na tutulungan ga kayo...hay naku wag kayong umasa sa mga ganyang tao...ALa eh they are only fooling you...

Marami ga akong kakilala na sumasali sa ganitong business. Yung isa ere nasira yung family nila kasi yung babae nauto na sumali naniwala naman na yayaman daw sya at magiging milyonaryo... yun sinanla yung bahay at pati yung ibang gamit nila para mag-3 heads. Nung una excited kasi halos araw-araw nagseseminar at nadala sa mga pang-uuto...Hindi makatulog kasi atat na atat yumaman...Hanggang dumaan ang ilang linggo, buwan at ngayon nga ata mag iisang taon na pero yung pinuhunan nya wala pa sa 1/4 na nababawi... Yun nagalit yung asawa, nagsisihan at nag-away at ngayon nga yung babae sa sobrang hiya ata umuwi na lang sa probinsya at iniwan yung pamilya kasi puro utang at yung bahay nila nakasanla... Siguro laking pagsisisi nya at sumali sya sa ganyang business na hindi man lang inisip kung kaya ba nyang mag-uto ng tao tulad ng iba....
Isang halimbawa lang yan ng dulot ng pagsasali-sali sa MLM...Marami pa akong alam na kwento ng buhay na nasira dahil sa pagsali sa MLM.

LET'S ALL ACCEPT NA SA MLM KUNG SINO YUNG PIONER AT MAKAPAL ANG MUKHA SYA LANG YUNG NAGIGING MALIGAYA...

naku...wag kang maniwala sa mga yan...honestly, sa panahon ngayon hindi ka na kikita sa MLM. magsisisi ka lang pag sumali ka dyan. para ka lang kumuha ng bato na ipupukpok mo sa sarili mo. oo, sa una medyo exciting yan kasi yung mga matatamis na dila ng mga nagrerecruit sayo like yung iba dyan... kesyo, tutulungan ka at hindi ka pababayaan, naku gagamitin ka lang nyan para marecruit yung mga family members mo, mga co-workers, relatives mo etc. tapos ikaw pa sisihin ng mga yan pag hindi sila yumaman. *** kung ako sayo, wag kang maglalabas ng 8880 or 7000. sayang lang yan... ikaw rin bahala ka...sasakit lang ulo mo sa kaiisip na yumaman...

Alam nyo, asa inyo parin naman ang disisyon kung gusto nyo kumita o hindi. Ang mga nag invite sa inyo, syempre gusto ka nila tulungan pero ikaw, kung ayaw mo kumita, e syempre hindi ka kikita. Eto lang iyon, aalain mo lang kung ano ang ginagawa ng mga kumikita para kumita ka rin, e kung aalamin mo ang ginawa ng mga hindi kumita, syempre hindi ka kikita.

ikaw na rin nagsabi, kailangan mo mag recruit para kumita. tapos ayaw mo mag recruit. anong kita inaasahan mo? fyi. di pa ako member nf FQ. Iniipon ko pa pang join ko. =D


<snip> and ayoko rin dagdagan ang pagkakamali ko. ayoko rin naman magrecruit ng mga kaibigan ngayong wala pa nangyayari sakin (ni isang singko wala pa bumabalik sakin). hindi ako ganun ka-garapal.

if you're the type na ma-PR and can tell kwentong barbero stuff, o kaya naman experienced in hard-core selling, i think kikita ka dito. <snip> hindi ka talga kikita unless magrecruit ka.

i think an 8000 pesos investment is worth a lifetime of 50% shopping discount. saka if you're contented with a less than 20K salary per month, stick with your job. But if you would like an opportunity to earn more than 100K a week, and you have the determination to make it happen, pwede ka na rin magsugal ng 8k. Di mo naman ikakahirap habam buhay ang 8k.

Tama ka jan. definitely worth your investment. Di ako nagsisi sa pagjoin ko sa FQ. Kahit na gamitin mo na lang for personal use yung privilege mo na 50% discount, sulit ka na. Di lang yan... marami pa silang upcoming product range, like appliances and grocery items. Imagine getting 50% discounts on all these items. No need to go to the malls and wait for them to bargain non-moving stocks. Also heard that they are putting up their own mall type shop. If anyone is interested to join you may contact me at 0916-5213377. Our group is very active and supportive.

Oct 7, 2004, 12:39 PM
Hmm... I don't wanna be too negative nor too positive, but I moderate a yahoogroup discussing income sources and finances.

Here's my post about a recent solicitation that I was under:



First Quadrant and Mission and Purpose


Ok, I was invited again to a First Quadrant presentation by a friend.

I can say that the presentation was very attractive. They showed me lots of checques. Hehehe... I know that was REALLY attractive.

But what was this presentation really appealing to? To my rational mind, or to my emotions, to my greed?

Tell me, what decisions have we made, that's emotional in nature, that have been good for us in the long run?

When angry, what have we done? Haven't we seen numerous times that an enraged husband kills when in such an emotional state only to repent later?
What illogical decisions have you made when you were angry? When you were elated? When you were in need?

What is my Mission and Purpose in life?

What is Mission and Purpose?

What guides businesses all throughout its existence to be successful?

Compare, say in a shoe manufacturing business:
My mission and purpose in life(in this business) is to make $500 M in one year.
My mission and purpose in life(in this business) is to let people see and decide that our company is committed to the quality of our shoes.

What emotion does the first mission and purpose drive at?
GREED. plain and simple.

How will this affect decision making for this business?

Ok, an example. Suppose I were to make a shoe. The current margin is say 500 pesos (1/56th of a dollar in current exchange rates). And suppose I am selling 120,000 of those shoes in one year.

So I am making 60 Million pesos in one year, or about $1 Million/year (of course we don't reduce from this other expenses, to make analysis simpler)

If my M&P was to make $500 M in one year, a decision to raise the price of each shoe by $499 is very much REASONABLE to the first M&P. (yes this is an exaggeration, but I hope you get what I mean)

REASONABLE. Why? Because of the M&P.

How sustainable will this decision be? How long will customers trust my company?

Using the 2nd M&P as my guide, I won't try to make any decisions that will jeopardize the business in the long term.

How many customers will I enrage by raising my products to skyrocket prices?

What is your mission and purpose?

What is your mission and purpose if you join 1st Quadrant?

Where does the money earned in 1st Quadrant come from?

To answer this, the presenters (well one of them is my friend) admittedly told me that it came from recruits.

I tried to ask if there was reason to believe that 1st Quadrant is a legitimate network marketing company, that it will be sustainable even without the entry of new members.

But they didn't tell me that.

I asked how big a chunk were earnings from product sales from their total earnings. They said very minimal. And I agree. We agreed.

So how sustainable is it? What is critical mass?

Why will I join a company if the long term view isn't promising?
What is the ratio of EARNING members from NON-EARNING members?
Where do earning members get their income?
why will I want to earn out of other people's misery?

It makes no sense to me. Only to my greed.

Btw, by 'rational' I mean one that is purely rational.

We rationalize every time we make a terrible, emotional decision:
(I am not a smoker)
Premise "I like to smoke."
Antithesis "It's bad for the health."
Rationalization "People will die anyway."

Premise "I'd like to earn from 1st Q."
Antithesis "You'll only earn alot out of recruits."
Rationalization "I am helping them. I am helping my country. I am helping the Marikina shoe industry."

My reply "You are selling a promise, a promise that people will earn, when in reality, the structure doesn't support it, the structure doesn't support long-term success."

...But of course since Franchising also charge Franchise fees, it is OK for Network Marketing companies to charge for membership.

This is me rationalizing after GREED kicked in to me, hehehehe, but I went back to my M&P, which is:
"To let people see and decide that I am committed to their financial wellfare."

And I believe it will guide me in the long-term for long-term success.

Just read about how businesses great and small close down due largely to an invalid M&P.

True, some of them have short-term successes, and they were indeed great successes, but eventually they fall, unless they restructure their M&Ps, and from there restructure their businesses.

An example:
Who is the most successful investor of all time?
What guides his everyday decision making?
If it were "TO MAKE ALOT OF MONEY", how open, "weak" is he to invest in a stock that is potentially profitable in the short-term since the demand is up, yet the company isn't solid?
But Buffett doesn't make such emotional decisions.

The analogy to first Q:
How open, "weak" are we all to invest in a company that is potentially profitable, but only if some other people doesn't earn from it?
How open, "weak" are we to make money knowing that some will not earn?

Why will we want to earn from other people's misery?
Why will we want to earn knowing that some people won't?

But of course that's just one side of the coin. An emotion may be driving this message. (compassion)

I've seen the catalogs, and true, there are products there that are priced fairly.

I will still look into that.

(Member sha dito, paging... pwedeng mahiram *** catalogs. Yung pricelist lang... kung pwedeng email pwede rin.)

I really want everyone's opinion about this. Please share your minds.

Your comments, pwede **, but it is better if you join the Y!group...

Marlo_kalbo. I like the way you analyze things. That's a good sign that you'll be heading success very soon. Mission and purpose is vital to any task. People who live the happiest and most fulfilling lives all have more than just a sense of mission, they are ON a mission.

Every success in network marketing company has had a "cause" or mission. Sometimes a mission revolves around a product, and sometimes it revolves around personal growth and development. More often than not, a company's mission is a combination of the two. Which is in the case of First Quadrant. Kaya nga aside from their mission of helping people who chose to be in the Business Quadrant (R. Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant) succeed, build their own pipelines to move beyond job security and begin to achieve financial security... FQ's tagline "Everything is in the First Quadrant" is focused naman on bringing a wide range of quality products that will satisfy each and everyone's needs.

You can still claim it by using an SPA (special power of attorney) form. If you need any more help, just feel free to contact me (09189306391) and I'll be glad to help you out.

hi blakedaddy, tnx sa offer ng help ha ! I appreciate it! kaya lang transferable nga ba ang membership? Actually wala pa akong nakukuhang kahit anong voucher dun, nawala nga ang recibo ko kasi,And one more thing if I transfer pano yung nagiisa kung downline. Di nga rin kumikilos yun eh parehas kami nang yr na nagjoin.

u can always approach any upline,not necessarily un nag-invite syo,but preferably un ka-group mo,kase the more they help u,the more they benefit kaya 2lungan talaga. www.firstquadrantphilippines.com is open not only to webfrix group kaya u can join the forum there,wag ka mahiya. under construction pa un www.rightquadrant.com under super uplines mel&cora medel. Wala ako idea about sa paglipat pero u can always re-enrol para u can choose saan group mo ****& dapat sa active group like mine hehe but of course weigh ur options kse nga naka-enrol kna,sayang money na ni-invest mo so palaguin mo,all u need to do is 2 continue. U sure 1k for the lost ID?? or kasama na un renewal ng countdown privelege card& insurance??d ble i'll ask sa sat,punta ko dun.pati ba un 2k worth of products di mo pa na claim??:)

hey!good morning!Alam mo tama ginawa mo tanong ka muna ng mga feedbacks kasi sayang yung pera iinvest mo pag nagjoin ka.Tingnan mo yung investment versus ROI o return of investment.As you can see napakaliit ng RETURN.Why not look at my business you can do this online kahit wala ka prospects here kikita ka.Tuturuan ka namin kung papano.Maliit lang ang investment sa amin at may money back guarantee pa.Matagal tagal na din ako sa ganito business pero first time ako nakakita ng ganitong Marketing plan.Grabe talaga kahit maliit ang sales dito sa pinas kikita ka ng malaki kasi GLOBAL SHARING ka agad pag nag join ka.Less than 1thousand pa lang members dito sa pinas pero my kumikita na ng 2milyon.Imagine kikita ka sa sales ng Downline mo,sales ng upline mo,sales ng crosslines mo at sa sales ng buong mundo.Saka dito never ka masaturate kasi trillion o higit pa ang prospects mo dahil buong mundo gumagamit ng internet.Unlike FQ limited lang.Wala naman commitment kung gusto mo malaman HOW? mag txt ka lang sa akin Eman name ko 09169878666 o kaya email mo ako sa jenbalani@yahoo.com.Thanks and Good luck!Be open mind dont limit your resources.

hmm.. kung saturated na pala ang FQ e di paano pa nakakakuha ang mga ibang MLM kasi when you say saturated, that means ubos na so kung talagang saturated na ang market, e di dapat wala naring nakukuha ang ibang MLM companies.... besides, there are 84 million Pinoys so in reality, wala pang 1% ng population ang members ng FQ, so marami pa ang hindi na iinvite, marami pa ang hindi nakakarinig, so marami pa ang pwedeng sumali

yes pwede yan... but if you will diversify, it is wise to join other MLM companies not similar to your current ones. Like kung apparels & leather goods yung present mlm mo, join other MLM that offers different products like groceries (ehem, plugging my new MLM biz), or health products, etc. Mahirap mag-market ng several biznes na pare-parehong produkto.

I have nothing againts FQ because I'm also a member since 2004 pa pero hindi ko na maasikaso at saka wala ako'ng tiyaga sa pagpunta pa sa Ortigas at pumila. Kahit ayokong mag-invest dito ay napilitan na rin ako dahil sa hindi ko matanggihan ang best friend ko. To cut my story short, I want to invite you to be my partner sa FQ, para masubukan mo at ma-justify yung mga possitive and negative reply dito. Wala ka naman pera ilalabas kundi yung pamasahe at time mo lamang sa pagpunta punta doon sa FQ Office (that is if you are "matiyaga"). Willing ako magkaroon tayo ng written agreement about our sharing. Pwedeng 50-50 tayo or 60% sa iyo at 40% naman sa akin. nanghihinayang lamang ako sa aking account kasi hindi ko naman talaga maasikaso ito at para magkaroon na rin ng kasagutan ang tanong mo na ikaw na mismo ang makakasagot. If interested just call me at my landline number 447-0256 or Mobile 0917-9254272 ask for Ismael Motus. Thanks.

it depends on which group you already belong to...baka kasi magka-group na tayo hindi pa natin alam....

and the answer to your question is YES...most of our members who re-joined FQ shelled out another Php8880.

i know that you are definitely hesistant about this, and i am will be, too if i were in your position. Giving another Php8880 as an investment is not a joke. That is why i would encourage you to listen to what our group has to say before you decide to do anything. it would be best for you to know and understand first why OUR GROUP is different, and why we can guarantee that you will earn if you join us.

you don't need to pay anything when you atend one of our talks...
all you need to do is listen and learn

hi there! OUR GROUP's FQ talks are absolutely for FREE! all you need to do is be there, listen, learn and understand what we're gonna teach you...

it is not the typical FQ seminar or meeting because we don't need to present FQ anymore since you are already a member. what we have to present to you is the technique/style of the top earners in FQ (who are members of our group--->33 of them). what we're gonna share with you are the "secrets" on how to earn money using First Quadrant because members of our group do not work FOR first quadrant, but we work WITH first quadrant so we could earn money while we do our day/regular jobs. ;)

By joining your group, since member naman kami ng FQ ay no need to buy another membership?
