I was there 3PM waitin for my brother Albert and Friend Dealer Rose.
When my brother arrived, we go straight to MOA Arena where the Celebration would be happening then. We tried to asked people on the registration tables and some uniformed guard, however, we got no clear instruction on how and where we would go first. When we saw people lining up, we joined them until a kind lady which I believe a co-dealer also asked us if we have our tickets drop for the raffle and if we have our Anniversary T-Shirt already. In short, we had the wrong line.
So we looked for a guard with TPC ID to ask for. To our dismay, he said he dont know what info to give us anymore since he was also confused. He was apologetic enough saying that and asked us to approach those in black shirt. So we did. As we approach one, I asked him where was the line should start and we're already tired in looking for a right instruction. I almost loose my temper where he told us, "eh kasi, bakit hindi kayo nagtatanong muna bago kayo pumila?" And I answered him, "saan nga kami dapat magtatanong eh lahat ng mapagtanungan namin ay walang maisagot kung saan?" And he walked out on us. So sad he was wearing TPC (Black) Shirt. Kuya, you know who you are coz you're the only one on the area wearing Black TPC Shirt grrrrrr...... I wasn't able to get his name since he walked out on us. I hold on my temper coz I dont want to end my day with a negative vibes. And of course, I don't want to feel discourage with such incident.
So we looked all over the area just to find where to start and at last, at 6:30pm, we were able to find the Tambiola, where to drop our stub. Then we went back to the line where we lined up earlier.
While we were on the line, we had able to chat with other Dealers. Many people are dismayed with the system of registration on the said events. All we can say, there's no one assigned to handle it properly. Number of people also backed out for they can no longer afford to wait. We, together with the other co-dealer just make fun of our experiencess since we can not do anything about it and besides, we dont have NO ONE to speak with by then.
Upon entering the Arena and when the Event started, we just enjoyed the Show.
Good thing they have a good show and the the later part helps to empower Dealers.
The show started with the funny trio "Fat Hot Mamas" with their greetings "GOOD MORE EARNINGS"! The Company also sang. Sam Concepcion also graced the show. Sad that he had to shout "STOP!" coz the Tech booth didnt get his many cues and played the wrong music. Many CUE lapses but the one on Sam was the most obvious one.
We thank Talk and Text for sponsoring such event and be part of the celebration as well as Smart Communications. Glad to hear from ABS CBN Mobile Executive as he welcome us, TPC Member Dealers as "Kapamilya".
And of course, one of the Main Event, the Message of our Celebrant, the Father of TPCians, the Men behind the success, our very own TPC President Lorenzo Rellosa. He was presented by our VP of Marketing, Sir Santy Dayao.
Among his announcements are the additional products that we will be catering which are the Gaming Cards, the Loading & Vendo Machine and New Website
Different prizes have drawn until the grand prizes after the speech.
And Yes, to be honest, we are all aiming to win the Grand prize which was 1 Million pesos. We all do. When the winner was called, there were no sad feelin at all because we think, the Winner deserves to have it :) Congratulation Kuya! You deserve to won than we do :)
When the awarding continued on the later part, we were amazed when the Top Earners (Top 10) were announced with their accumulated income and WOW, with the lowest check released which is more than a Million and the highest had 4million, who would not be Empowered to work harder.
