My warmest Yuletide greetings to everyone!
In a couple of weeks, Year 2022 will end and we will be facing the new challenges that come in the Year 2023. Honestly, 2022 was a very difficult year for me. I encountered various challenges with my employees, with my distributors, with the importation of the products, and with some government agencies that really tested my character and patience in operating the company. High praises to our very loving God, my CEO, who guided and led me to overcome these obstacles. Today, I am more than prepared to move forward into the New Year more matured, my maturity in business caused by the numerous trials that made me a wiser and more competent entrepreneur.
I made drastic changes of my employees in various branches and also in the main office. I eliminated individuals who were not service-oriented, who were not dedicated to the cause and advocacy of the company, who were dishonest and cheated the company of the right income it should earn. I believe the character of the employees will reflect my character as their “boss”. I look forward to a better company with the people surrounding me right now. I have placed competent managers to operate the company branches most especially on occasions when I cannot attend to the critical problems that may arise.
I have also eliminated Wellness Consultants who have other motives in their lives. I have always reminded Wellness Consultants of our vision, mission and advocacy. Service to others is our primary and optimal goal and not the monetary rewards most people are after. No one deserves to be in my company if his/her main objective to be in this company is to make money, much money. Through the years of marketing MRI products, I have observed that those who focus their minds on money do not last stay long in the company. I do not mind if he contributed much on the sales of the company. For me, character of a person dictates our true relationship than how much he/she brings to the company. I take this opportunity to remind everyone that the advocacy of the company is to render service to humanity through alleviating their physical sufferings through the concept of “Tubig at mga Mineral: Sagot sa Kalusugan!”. Monetary rewards just come while focusing our minds and hearts to serving people.
By the last quarter of the year, I have created another earning scheme through the Distributor Partner (DP). Although the sale involves selling of our products by the boxes and the scheme involves mere selling. In here, the concept of “Tubig at mga Mineral” is not strictly imposed. Anyone can sell the product just like any dietary supplement. However, the purchase must be made consistently on a monthly basis with the minimum volume of one (1) box of any MRI product. A reasonable discount is granted to the DP.
Through the year, I invested so much in media. The company is airing its radio program on numerous radio stations throughout the country. These radio programs will assist you market the products if you will utilize it. Today, a high percentage of Waterdok’s patients are the results of these radio programs. Although numerous queries reach the main office in Naga City, I have instructed our staff to refer the inquiries send to the branches nearest to the person making the inquiry. The branches may refer them to you if you are actively involved in our advocacy. Through the radio programs, we can reach out to the remote areas where our products will help more deprived individuals especially in the areas where medical services are rarely available. Herewith are radio stations that airs our program from 3:00-4:00 PM, Monday to Saturday as your reference:

With the lowering of the COVID-19 alert level, I may resume the various training activities. The past two years were difficult because of the lockdown and imposition of mass quarantine. Our Medical Director was hesitant to conduct online training sessions because the internet services in the country are never reliable. With the lowering of the COVID-19 alert levels, the training sessions may become feasible. So, I request the branches and their leaders to begin organizing groups who will be interested to learn and apply our concept into their communities, offices or any big entities.
As the days pass, I shall come up with more innovations with the new people who joined our advocacy. With the right mindset, we will target more fruitful years ahead.
As I close the message, I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to all who, in one way or the other, helped me sustain the company for a decade. My warmest and deepest gratitude to you! I take this opportunity to invite you to celebrate with me this coming February 25, 2023, our 10th year anniversary.
Once again, thank you very much for your loyalty and dedication to our cause!
Merry Christmas and a more abundant New Year to all!
