One happiest New Year to all of you!
As 2023 ends, I welcome the New Year 2024 with all warmth, newfound hope, and abundance for the company. Reflecting on the past months, Year 2023 had its fair triumphs and challenges for me. There were tedious moments with the importation of the products, the government agencies that tested my patience with the operation of the company, and my trust in my employees. All praises and glory to our most loving God, my forever CEO, whom I have always held onto when challenges arise. Amazingly, I have successfully survived because of Him. Apart from the struggles, I also encountered great blessings and open doors leading to more opportunities to help serve our fellow Filipinos. Stepping foot into another year, I am most ready to move forward with wiser thinking, through all the experiences I have in the business, and be a more competent entrepreneur.
This year, the monthly webinar of “Informative Comprehensive Medical Discussion with WATERDOK” was launched, which aimed to discuss intently various diseases, their definition, causes, symptoms, and treatments, and how the concept of “Tubig at mga Mineral: Sagot sa Kalusugan at Susi sa Malusog na Kabataan!” helps to manage these diseases. Our dedicated wellness consultants and distributors were mandated to attend the webinars since knowing thoroughly how the concept works on the diseases is very vital to the success of the business. I thank the core group that was most eager to learn and help spread our advocacy not just for their loved ones but also for their Kababayans.
Since 2020, I have launched various promos. Monthly promos are offered every first working day and the third Saturday of the month. By purchasing a bottle of IONIQUE Concentrated Mineral Drops at the suggested retail price, clients are granted free bottles of four to five other MRI products. This offers a huge discount to those availing the promo. Moreover, I had seasonal promos such as the “Sharing #IONIQUE Love” promo where the participants received one 60 ml bottle of IONIQUE Concentrated Mineral Drops. In June, I focused on the health benefits of the concept on the children and youth, “Tubig at mga Mineral: Sagot sa Kalusugan at Susi sa Malusog na Kabataan!”. As a teacher by heart, I believe that the awareness of the concept will improve not only the physical development of the youth but also their mental and emotional development. My doctorate dissertation had proven the effects of the concept both physically and academically. The proper development of the youth plays a critical role in the future of the country.
It has been my goal to make every Filipino family have a bottle of IONIQUE Concentrated Mineral Drops on their dining table. Thus, I deeply request my branch managers and staff, and my product distribution channels to help me in this endeavor. I also look forward to the registration of more Product Distribution Channels and those who remained inactive to become more productive. I have also incorporated innovations to respond to and attend to the concerns of the customers more speedily.
Throughout the years, I invested so much in the promotion of the company through various media. Aside from the social media platform through Facebook, YouTube, and other applications, the company continues to air its radio program “Tubig at mga Mineral ni Waterdok” on numerous radio stations throughout the country. These radio programs have remarkably assisted in the marketing of the products and the concept. This is very evident with the high volume of patients seeking our medical help made aware of these radio programs. Although numerous queries reach the main office in Naga City, I have instructed our staff to refer the inquiries to the branch nearest to the person inquiring. Through the radio programs, we also reach out more to remote areas where medical care is scarce and our products will help the deprived individuals meet their medical care more effectively. Herewith are the updated radio stations that air our program from 3:00 to 4:00 PM, Monday to Saturday, as your reference:
1. Good Vibes Radio 96.7 FM, Iriga City, Camarines Sur
2. Energy FM 106.3 FM, Naga City, Camarines Sur
3. Boom Radio 100.5 FM, Daet, Camarines Norte
4. Radyo Fuerza 1215 KHz AM DYRF, Cebu City
5. Home Radio 98.7 FM, Davao City
With the lifting of the health restrictions from COVID-19, we were able to wonderfully celebrate our tenth anniversary in Naga City, Camarines Sur. The event was celebrated personally and virtually. We are very grateful that Mr. Bruce Anderson, CEO, President, and Co-Owner of Mineral Resources International was present at the event. The celebration was filled with “love, laughter, and warm embrace”. I look forward to seeing you all again on the forthcoming 11th anniversary this February to be held in Manila.
On the spiritual aspect, I take pride in sharing that our company is the sponsor of Feast Naga, a Catholic, religious community headed by Bro. Bo Sanchez. We have been celebrating the Feast Light for the last two years, and I have included the spiritual aspect in our advocacy. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” – Matthew 6:33. I joyfully invite you to join us or the Feast Light in our Cubao Branch. With God, and you, my dear IONIQUE family, I claim a more fruitful year ahead.
As I close this message, I would like to extend my deepest and sincerest gratitude to all of you, who in one way or another, helped me sustain the company for more than a decade, through your loyalty and dedication to our advocacy. Have a blessed and prosperous New Year to all!
