Cebuana Lhuillier Services Corporation (CLSC) formalized its partnership with Bank of Commerce at Makati Shangri-La Hotel on January 7.

Bank of Commerce is considered one of the Philippines’ most progressive commercial banks with more than 300 Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and 122 branches nationwide.

Its partnership with Cebuana Lhuillier is considered a perfect synergy because the two companies share a vision of providing fast and efficient service to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) worldwide.

Present during the MOA signing were Bank of Commerce representatives: Strategic Support Group EVP and Head Angelica Lavares, Operations Group EVP and Head Carmelita Araneta, International Operation First VP Alfredo Ayson, Business Development and Research Senior Manager Marlon Hernandez, and Remittance Marketing Consultant Article Quebal. CLSC General Manager Noel Cristal, CLSC Department Managers Arjie de Castro and Allan Caindoy, Chief Administrative Officer Miko Jimenez, and Cebuana Lhuillier Bank President Leo Escano were also present.

Cebuana Lhuillier sponsored the 1^st Sinulog Festival in Al Safa Gym in Dubai on January 18.

 

Organized by the United Cebuanos in UAE, a festive atmosphere pervaded the stadium with the guests’ faces painted as male and female higantes or giant paper-mâché while the venue was adorned with banderitas— distinct elements which both depict Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, the Mother of All Philippine Festivals.

 

One of the much-awaited segments of the event was the raffle draw from the sponsors and the grand raffle from the organizer. The Cebuana Lhuillier team distributed hundreds of freebies during the hourly raffle. Cebuana Lhuillier and its products and services were also promoted through banners, flyers and booth set-up during the whole-day event.

 

Thousands of OFWs graced the event to witness and participate in the grand celebration. Highlights of the event include a dance group competition, photo contest, and the parade of Festival Queen candidates.

21 January 2013 – Philippine Ambassador to Portugal Philippe J. Lhuillier cited the long historical, cultural and religious ties shared by the Philippines and Portugal when he presented his credentials to President Anibal Cavaco Silva as Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to the Portuguese Republic at impressive ceremonies on January 14.

Ambassador Lhuillier and party were fetched in the morning of January 14 by a Portuguese Protocol motorcade for the ceremonies. He was accompanied by Deputy Head of Mission and Consul General Josefina Estrada and Third Secretary and Vice Consul Rogelio Villanueva Jr.

Following an age-old tradition, a mounted horse Honor Guard was bestowed on Ambassador Lhuillier at the Praça do Império in front of the historic Jerónimos Church and Monastery.

After receiving a military salute, the convoy carrying Ambassador Lhuillier and Embassy officials was escorted by the Mounted Guard of the Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR) on the way to the Palácio de Belém, the official residence of the President of Portugal.

Upon arrival at the Palace courtyard, Ambassador Lhuillier was rendered another military salute where the Philippine and Portuguese national anthems were played.

At the precise moment, President Anibal Cavaco Silva formally received the Philippine Ambassador in the elegantly adorned Ambassadors Room of the Palace.

After presenting his Letter of Credence, the Ambassador was given a private audience with the President where he conveyed the warm greetings of President Benigno S. Aquino III and the deep appreciation of the Philippine Government and Filipino people for the close ties and the vibrant partnership existing between the Philippines and Portugal.

Ambassador Lhuillier expressed his desire for more active and productive engagements at all levels and areas that would bring greater collaboration and connectivity between the two countries.

President Cavaco Silva noted the importance of Asia in Portugal’s foreign and economic policy and emphasized the importance of the Philippines to Portugal. He acknowledged the history of friendship between the two countries and the contribution of overseas Filipinos to his own country and to the Philippine economy through their US$20 billion annual remittances.

He expressed optimism that with the new Ambassador, the close ties between Portugal and the Philippines would reach greater heights to benefit both countries especially in the areas of trade and tourism. He also hoped that more people-to-people contacts would lead to further exchanges and the enrichment of both cultures.

Aside from the Philippine Ambassador, the resident Ambassadors from Sweden, Bulgaria and China also presented their credentials on the same day.

President Aquino nominated Ambassador Lhuillier as the country’s envoy to Portugal in February 2012, and the Commission on Appointments confirmed his nomination on 14 March 2012. He previously served as the Philippine Ambassador to Italy from 1999 to 2010.

Ambassador Lhuillier vows to display the same level of commitment and dedication in accomplishing the tasks given to him by President Benigno S. Aquino III.

Ambassador Lhuillier is married to Edna Diago who hails from Dumaguete and they are blessed with two sons and five daughters.

GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) and Cebuana Lhuillier recently renewed their partnership in a MOA signing held last November 14 at GMA Network Center.

 

The partnership between GMAKF and Cebuana Lhuiller was sealed in September 2011 during the height of typhoons Pedring and Quiel. Since then, the latter has been serving as the strategic channel for cash donations for GMAKF’s various projects.

 

With Cebuana Lhullier facilitating the easier inflow of cash donations from donors within and beyond the country, GMAKF continues to move beyond conducting relief operations to mounting long-term rehabilitation projects such as the Kapuso Village in Iligan.

 

GMAKF continued with its rehabilitation works that included the construction of 10-classrooms for the Mandulog Elementary School in Kapuso Village and handwashing facilities for Sitio Cabaro, also in Iligan City. These, along with 20 new homes, were already turned over last June and August this year.

 

To date, Cebuana Lhuillier was able to collect a total cash amount of 12,357,910.53 with a monthly average of P950,608.50, strengthening further GMAKF’s efforts to bring Serbisyong Totoo to those in need.

Despite this, and overcoming discrimination, Rommel has held various jobs – insurance agent, part-time instructor, disc jockey, emcee, singer, musical director, resource speaker, call-center agent, and school guidance counsellor.

Cebuana Lhuillier celebrates its 25th anniversary by organizing Pistahang Cebuana Pasasalamat Concert (caravan) all over the country. The first part of the concert was held in Manila (Luzon), the second was at Cebu (Visayas) and the third one was at Davao (Mindanao). Last October 4, the number one trusted pawnshop in the Philippines brings Sarah Geronimo, Mark Bautista, Erik Santos and G-Force in the city for the third and last Pasasalamat Concert which was held at the University of Mindanao Gym.

 

 

Cebuana Lhuillier loyal customers, Cebuana 24K card holders, media, bloggers and other guests were invited to become part of the said event. Luckily, I was one of the Davao bloggers chosen to cover the event.

 

I got a free ticket from the organizers of the amazing Pistahang Cebuana! It was such an honor to witness the performances of the best OPM artists.

 

 

Cebuana Lhuillier is getting bigger each year. It is growing, together with Sarah Geronimo. It does not only regard itself as a company but also as a community of people willing to help each other. This pawnshop is under the famous P.J. Lhuillier group of companies. There are many new products and services to look forward from Cebuana. Indeed, it is not an ordinary pawnshop. It offers so much more. To express their gratitude to the public, they bring Sarah G and guests here in Davao.

 

The Popsters, Sarah Geronimo’s fans, from GenSan, Davao and other places in Mindanao also attended the event to support their number one idol.

 

On the same night, Cebuana Lhuillier also arranged some games for the 24K members and their ever loyal customers. Special items and cash prizes were given away. Cebuana’s success can be attributed to the fact that they do not only operate for profits but also to serve the people.

 

Before the major concert, Cebuana Lhuillier invited selected people for the Press Conference. In this presscon, Cebuana expressed their plans in the coming years. They are looking for better ways to serve the public. They also informed everyone that Sarah Geronimo just renewed her contract with the company. This means that the Pop Star will still be the one to promote Cebuana Lhuillier.

MANILA, Philippines — For someone who suffered from polio and now moves around in a wheelchair, Rommel Arellano remains positive and wears a smile on his face every day.

“The power to overcome obstacles, hardships or trials is simply to face them with a happy heart. And from a happy heart we draw strength and resilience. If we face the world with a smile, the world will smile back to us,” the 35-year-old says.

Even to this day, Arellano experiences discrimination every day to the point he is already used to it. But he uses these experiences to be his inspiration in life, the fuel that keeps him going through the difficult challenges life throws at him.

Arellano’s optimism and positive outlook in life gives him an advantage over others. These same traits are the reason why he was chosen as this year’s Happiest Pinoy, a project of Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions, which aims to promote happiness and optimism among Filipinos by recognizing ordinary citizens, who despite their challenging lives, still remain positive in life.

 

PROVING EVERYONE WRONG

Arellano, from Limay in Bataan, was afflicted with polio when he was one year old and he has not been able to use his legs since then. Instead, he uses his hands and arms to “walk,” moving around the house by crawling.

He started wearing slippers on his hands at four years old so he could go outside and explore the world around him. But he would discover immediately that that world was not such a nice place.

Other kids would tease him because of his disability. They would call him names and even physically hurt him just because he was different. Others would say that he would not amount to anything when he grows up.

“Other kids used to bully me and call me names or even associate any crawling animals with me. I was 10 years old and my playmates made me think that I was totally different from them. Naglalaro kami tinutukso nila ako, they were calling me names, tapos sinisipa-sipa nila ako. Ginagawa nila talaga akong outcast sa community namin. That hurt me a lot,” he recalls.

He would always run to his room and cry. At this point he blamed God and ask, of all people in the world, why him?

Later, he realized that it was not his fault and would stop the teasing to get the best of him. And soon enough, he understood that the taunting were just words that should not put him down, especially with the strong support of his family and friends.

“I realized that I should take everything as a challenge. I would show them na kahit ganito ako, although different ako sa pisikal na aspeto, may kakayanan din ako. The first person who believed and saw my potential was my mother. She disregards what other people were saying about me,” he says.

Arellano studied hard and finished elementary and high school. It was only in college where he finally started using a wheelchair to help him move, although the lack of access for the physically handicapped in the school still forced him to still resort to crawling. He eventually finished a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Bataan Peninsula State University.

 

HELPING OTHER PWDs

Looking for a job was far more difficult from what he expected. Even in looking for a job, Arellano’s disability prevailed over his talent.

“I was called for a job interview but when I entered the room, the manager was surprised to see me because I was crawling! I reached for his hand and gave him the courtesy hand shake, I sat down while he browsed my resume. After a few minutes, he looked at me and sarcastically asked, ‘Nagda-drive ka ba ng motorsiklo?’. I was shocked for I am not expecting a person like him would insult me. I don’t know if I should even speak up and defend myself, or should I react. But I choose to be silent. I stood up and reached for his hand and said, ‘Thank you for your time sir.’ and left the room in tears. But that experience challenged me to continue with life,” Arellano shares.

He eventually got a guidance counselling job at Limay Polytechnic College. At present, he works as a government employee at the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of Limay.

Arellano is also a speaker and resource person for values formation, team building, and stress management, among others. He is also an adviser of a PWD organization in his town.

“I usually give talks to students and employees and non-government organization upholding the rights and welfare of PWDs. Our organization’s responsibility is to promote the welfare of PWDs by proposing and implementing programs such as livelihood and other economic and self enhancing program that will develop their social skills and boost their confidence,” Arellano explains.

 

ACCEPTANCE EQUALS HAPPINESS

He says that acceptance and contentment are the keys to happiness, something he always tells others, especially PWDs like him.

“By accepting myself as I am, believing that I am a special creation, I believe that we can overcome everything. Kapag iniisip nating kaya natin, kakayanin natin. Be content with what you have and accept who you are, your limitations and capabilities. Kung hindi mo tanggap ‘yung sarili mo, nandun ka lang. Let’s try to break the wall and go beyond our limits. May mararating at mararating, may pag-asa na laging natatanaw sa atin sa kabila ng pader na nakaharang sa gitna natin,” he says.

His only dream for the PWD community is for them to be given equal opportunity, be it in school or work.

“PWDs should not look into their situations but look within themselves. Look at the possibilities na meron kang marating. Sabi ko nga sa kanila, maybe my legs are not functioning but I still have my hands. They say I cannot go places because of my legs and feet, but I have my tsinelas on my hands,” he ends.

“Happiness is a choice,” said President and CEO of PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies, Jean Henri Lhuillier.

The Rizal Ballroom of Makati Shangri-La was filled with happy people as the country honored the Happiest Pinoy for 2012 on September 18, 2012.

After receiving more than 13,000 nominations this year, Rommel Arellano of Bataan was declared as the grand winner of the Search for the Happiest Pinoy 2012. The nine other Filipinos that vied for the title were: Arnel Malipao of Surigao del Norte; Gilda Fortunata Altez of Manila; Connie Emborong of Lanao del Norte; Marcelo Otinguey of Benguet; John Gabriel Pelias of Quezon City; Gerald Raymundo of Pasig City; Concepcion Tababa of Iloilo; Rebecca Tiu Sonco of Eastern Samar; and Leonardo Villanueva of Malabon City.

Stories of inspiration from the Top 10 Happiest Pinoy Finalists reverberated inside the ballroom, which really touched the minds and hearts of the audience. Among these stories, Rommel’s story of success emerged to be the most inspiring.

Rommel has been diagnosed with Poliomyelitis (Polio) at the age of one but this did not hinder him from building his own family and achieving his dreams. Tagged as the man behind the walking tsinelas, Rommel is currently an MSWD counselor in Bataan who provides guidance and counseling for people who are abused, battered, disabled, and other people who need his help.

Happiness has always been Rommel’s companion in his journey. “The power to overcome any obstacles, hardships or trials is simply facing them with a happy heart. And from a happy heart you can draw strength and resilience.” said Rommel.

His life story won him the title Happiest Pinoy 2012 and P250,000 cash.

Present in the event are PJ Lhuillier Inc. Chairman Amb. Philippe Jones Lhuillier; PJ Lhuillier Inc. President and CEO Jean Henri D. Lhuillier; CLSC Vice President Philippe Andre D. Lhuillier; Happiest Pinoy 2010 winner Mr. Winston Maxino; Former Senator Miguel Zubiri; Brahama Kumaris Philippines President Former Senator Leticia Ramos-Shahani; CLIS Group Manager Jonathan Batangan; Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions VP for Operations Leo K.

Honorary Consul General of the Republic of San Marino to the Philippines Jean Henri Lhuillier donated P5,000 cash each to two chosen families from Noveleta, Cavite that were greatly devastated by the recent habagat.

Jose Dela Cruz, father of four, was with his children Jimmy and Chereme Dela Cruz. With no permanent work, he has to depend on sidelines to earn a living for his family. Leonila Cahigus, mother of seven, came with daughter Darilyn Cahigus. They lost their house due to the floods brought about by the recent habagat. The families were chosen in coordination with the Municipality of Cavite. Apart from the cash donation, they also shopped for clothes and school supplies courtesy of Con.-Gen. Lhuillier.

Present in  the event was the management team of the PJ Lhuillier Inc: Marissa Ancog, Corporate Planning Communications Group Head; Leo Escano, President of the Cebuana Lhuillier Bank; Danny Francisco, Executive Assistant to the President and CEO; Jose Miguel Jimenez, Chief Administrator Officer Corporate Services Group Head; and Head of Pawnshop Operations; Ergie Ong, Chief Communication Technology Group Head; and Atty. Luis Velasquez, Chief Legal Officer and Legal Services Group Head.

Furthermore, 300 families from Noveleta Cavite were given relief goods by the San Marino Consulate Office to the Philippines and the volunteers from Cebuana Lhuillier. With the help of the Municipal Office led by Mayor Enrico Alvarez, the Consulate was able to determine the barangay which needs help the most after being hit by the southwest monsoon. The recipients patiently lined up under the heat of the sun to receive the relief goods for their respective families. As they receive their bag of goods, each one expressed their gratitude to the volunteers and to San Marino for remembering them in their time of need.

The CTPL is an insurance cover required in registering vehicles at the Land Transportation Office. In the words of FPAC President Ramon Dimacali, “this undertaking to decentralize CTPL is the first of its kind in the Philippines and will certainly shock the insurance industry and benefit the public”. This partnership will make CTPL issuance fast, convenient and reliable—more particularly when claims arise. This move also augurs well with PJLI President and CEO Jean Henri D. Lhuillier’s vision of evolving Cebuana Lhuillier as “the No. 1 insurance pick-up center in the country”.

Established in 1958, Federal Phoenix is a member of the Zuellig Group of Companies and is the country’s No. 1 motorcar insurer for years.

Many Filipinos go out of the country in search of greener pastures to better provide for their families. No matter how far they are, they make sure that their family is well provided for by sending money back home. Fast, convenient, and safe sending of money through remittance companies/agents is important to make sure that hard-earned money go to the right hands.

Here are some tips on secure sending and receiving of remittance:

1. Choose a money remittance company/agent that is known to be reliable and has genuine care for its clients.

2. If you are the sender, secure the money remittance transaction details. Do not throw the remittance transaction slip unless you are sure that the receiver has claimed the money. In case you lost your transaction slip before the receiver claims the remittance, immediately inform the remittance company where you sent your money and refund the money sent if possible. Refunding the money will prevent strangers who will find your transaction slip from claiming your remittance.

3. If you are the sender, make sure that you are sending the correct control number to your recipient.

4. If you are the receiver, immediately claim the remittance once you have the transaction control number.

5. If you are the receiver, make sure to choose the right remittance company/agent/payout center that practice good security measures. These payout centers usually request for government-issued IDs before paying out any transaction. Further, these institutions do not payout transactions unless the name of the receiver in their system matches the valid ID presented by the receiver when claiming their remittance.

Don’t be a victim of scams. Make sure you are transacting with the trusted money remittance companies and agents.

Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop has been the leading pawnshop chain in the Philippines with over 1,500 branches across the country—from Aparri to Tawi-Tawi. For 25 years now, Cebuana has been true to its slogan
“Walang Kapantay Magpahalaga”
through the incomparable services that the company offers to its customers—this includes pawning, local and international remittance, insurance, bills payment, e-load, collection, and foreign exchange.
Founded in 1987 by the current Philippine envoy to Portugal, Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier is currently managed by its President and CEO, Jean Henri Lhuillier.

 

Businessman and diplomat Philippe J. Lhuillier says he cannot explain why he feels happy most of the time.

Instrumental in building his father’s pawnshop business in Cebu into a dominant player in the country, he says with certainty that his happy disposition is one effective formula for success.

 

“When I wake up, I am already in a happy mood. My wife notices that, and she asked me once why I would jump around and make antics in the mornings,” Philippe tells SundayBiz.

 

His positive aura and innate affection for people perhaps are the reasons he was well loved by the Filipino community in Italy, where he served as Philippine ambassador from 1999 to 2010.

 

Recently, he was appointed by President Aquino to serve as Philippine ambassador to Portugal.

 

Award from Italy

 

Known for his leadership skills and warm nature, Philippe became the first Philippine ambassador to Italy to be given the prestigious award of “Ordine della Stella della Solidarieta Italiana” (Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity).

 

The Italian government gave him the award in recognition of his contributions to the promotion of goodwill between the Philippines and Italy.

 

The award was also in recognition of his efforts to help overseas Filipino workers based there.

 

During his 11-year post in Italy, Philippe opened the doors of the Philippine Embassy. The place became a venue for various activities that serve Filipinos in the foreign country—from computer seminars, to short courses in entrepreneurship, sports, and dialogues with OFWs.

 

“For our short courses, we would invite a guest speaker every week to teach Filipinos,” says Philippine. “Sometimes, when we had no speaker, I myself would teach them entrepreneurship,” he adds.

 

For Philippe, who handed over the leadership of Cebuana Lhuillier to his eldest son, Jean Henri, following his appointment to Italy, things that make him a fulfilled diplomat and a successful businessman are the same.

 

He carries along with him his positive outlook, his Christian values, and genuine concern for people whatever hat he is wearing.

 

Starting young

 

At only 8-years-old, the young Philippe started to learn independence and hard work, and already showed signs of his penchant for entrepreneurship.

 

At that age, he was sent by his Cebu-based parents to Manila to study. Every summer, he would go home to Cebu to learn from his father lessons about running a business. He would also help out in the day-to-day operation of the family business. His father, the late Henry Lhuillier, was a French consul to the Philippines who built pawnshops in Cebu in the 1930s.

 

“My father was strict in giving allowance, and so I know the value of hard work,” Philippe says. He says his father would give him money if he helped out in the pawnshop.

 

It was in grade school when Philippe’s entrepreneurial skills first manifested. Teachers in La Salle required students to bring rosaries every day. What Philippe would do is sell rosaries to his classmates who would forget to bring their rosaries. “I would sell a rosary, which I would get for 30 centavos, for 40 centavos,” he says. They would buy from me because they did not want to be reprimanded,” he says.

 

Seeing how his father valued hard work, Philippe says he has learned not only to work hard but also to love and be happy about working hard.

 

Golden egg

 

Philippe also says he has a golden egg that serves as his good luck charm. The golden egg, which symbolizes his positive outlook in life, was a gift from his father.

 

“I always have it with me,” he says, pointing to the golden egg displayed on his table.

 

On the family’s pawnshop business, Philippe expresses pride over his family’s pawnshop business (which eventually turned into a group of companies). He says it feels good to know that the family’s business is helping individuals, particularly by serving their short-term needs for cash.

 

“Pawnshops help people who are in need of short-term cash. Pawnshops contribute to the economy,” he says.

 

He says Cebuana Lhuiller, the flagship of a string of entities under the PJ Lhuiller Group of Companies, has worked to improve the image of pawnshops in the country. He says that while an old-school perception was that a pawnshop was “a place of last resort,” pawnshops in the country are now viewed more positively by customers.

 

He says in the case of Cebuana Lhuiller, it strives to give its customers the Filipino value of hospitality.

 

“In Cebuana Lhuillier, we tell our staff to say hello and to smile a lot to the customers. We want our customers to feel at home whenever they are in our pawnshops,” he says.

 

He says pawnshops in the Philippines, led by Cebuana Lhuiller, are very much different from those in other countries.

 

In China for instance, he says, a person who visits the pawnshop is required to drop his jewelry for pawning at a box at a high place. The client is not able to see the face of the attendant, he says.

 

“Here in the Philippines, we strive to give a much more pers


onal service—the Filipino way,” he says.

 

Christian values

 

Philippe, who went to La Salle from grade school to college, says he also credits the Christian values taught by the school in the molding of his character. The Christian-La Sallian education helped imbibe in him the values of compassion, discipline, and prayer, he says.

 

“I always carry a rosary in my pocket,” says Philippe. He never got rid of the habit since learning it from grade school.

 

Whenever things get tough, Philippe says he manages to keep on smiling. Besides hard work, Philippe counts on his faith, a positive outlook, and his golden egg to accomplish his objectives.

 

“Like what my father used to tell me, as long as I have the golden egg, I will be fine,” he says with a big smile.

 

Philippe, who aims to significantly build economic and social ties between the Philippines and Portugal as ambassador, says he takes with him his Christian values, his optimism, and his golden egg as he focuses on his new endeavor as ambassador to Portugal.

Manila, Philippines – Ambassador-designate to Portugal Philippe Lhuillier (right) calls on Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario to discuss the possibility of expanding tourism as well as trade, technology and cultural ties with the European country. Lhuillier, former ambassador to Italy, believes the primary objective for his new post is to foster diplomacy to promote the goals of national and economic security as well as the welfare of overseas Filipinos. Portugal’s economic development model has been slowly changing from one based on public consumption to one focused on exports, private investment and development of the high-tech sector. Business services have since overtaken more traditional industries such as textiles, clothing, footwear, cork (of which Portugal is the world’s leading producer), wood products, and beverages.

Mr. Jean Henri Lhuillier, Mr. Miko Jimenez, Mr. Leo Escano, Mr. Jonathan Batangan, officers and employees of PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies, and of Cebuanna Lhuillier Insurance Solutions, guests, my happy friends, good evening!

On Feb. 17, 2010, I was so blessed with an unexpected gift from God. Without my knowing, my sisters-in-law Gigi and Tinette had nominated me in the Nationwide Search for the Happiest Pinoy by Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions; out of 218 nominees from all over the Philippines and seven finalists, I was proclaimed the winner. I felt so honored to receive this recognition because we, Filipinos, are essentially a happy people. I thought that I was just like all of you and my fun-loving nature was just an ordinary thing. Gigi disagreed and told me that my happy attitude is remarkable. That surprised me — at napaisip tuloy ako – what was so extraordinary about my attitude toward happiness? Nevertheless, Gigi and Tinette — thank you for your belief in me that I could be the Happiest Pinoy!

In my reflections, I realized that what people considered remarkable about me was that I chose to be happy despite all the trials, pains and struggles that plagued me.

After I won, people from many walks of life approached me or got in touch with me to say they were inspired to hear my life story.

Truly, I feel touched and humbled by their appreciation! How I wish I could tell them a defining dramatic moment in my childhood when I made this conscious decision to always be happy no matter what… but honestly I could think of none! I just remember that even as a little boy, I accepted my circumstances, I endured the difficulties and I overcame the challenges — always with a smile on my face, with joy in my heart, and with lots of laughter along the way.

And so I asked myself the next question, what made me like this? I am stumped and have no definite answer. I am not a psychologist so I cannot give you any scientific explanation. I have no psychological theories to expound on; I have no powerpoint presentation with “picha pie” charts. All I have is only myself, my simple life story — perhaps we can all learn lessons from some significant events in my life.

I watch as he pause for a moment midway his speech. I was standing close on the side taking his photo and saw his face, suddenly overcame with shadow, I noticed he swallowed deep, trying to keep steady in front of a crowd of 30 plus people, trying to hide what he was feeling at that moment. For what looked like he was having a hard time reading his speech, little did people know he was grimacing in pain. In just a few seconds he got his composure back, smiling, while he deliver his speech as if nothing happened.

Such is the man named, Winston Maxino, a family man at his late forties, who is literally in constant pain after being diagnosed with a rare genetic disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). But despite his condition, he chose to show his sunny disposition and inspire others to be happy.

Winston narrated how as an asthmatic child, he was regularly an outcast but his persistence on trying to belong despite his condition still paid off. His scout master saw his other skills like excelling in knots or other non-physical aspects. Being diagnosed as an AS didn’t stop him from being happy, aside from wallowing in self-pity, he chose to accept his condition. But his trials didn’t end there, he received another blow in his life when his daughter was diagnosed with down syndrome. But his daughter’s frequent declaration of loving her life and the future made him realize that he has a lot to be grateful for no matter his life condition is. His body may be broken but that wouldn’t stop him from being happy as it is the choice he made. He enjoys making children laugh with his balloon knotting talents and tricks. He is also involved in helping the down syndrome society of the Philippines.

Winston’s resiliency was an inspiration to her family and friends. It didn’t go unnoticed as her sister nominated him for the Happiest Pinoy. An advocacy spearheaded by Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions, as they hope to promote positive values. Most of the pageants focus on the physical aspects, the most beautiful, the most sexy and more handsome. Why not look for the happiest?” says Jonathan Batangan, General Manager of Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Agency.

After screening more than 200 nominees and interviewing the top 7 finalist, Winston’s demeanor and personality stood out to the top. He was awarded the Happiest Pinoy in 2010. From what I heard, he donated majority of his P200,000 winnings and continue to share his life-story to inspire more people.

Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions is again in search for another “Happiest Pinoy” this 2012. The prizes are bigger, P250,000 for the Happiest Pinoy Awardee and the rest of the top 10 finalist would receive P25,000 each. Those who nominate will also be given a token if their nominee wins.

IN AN effort to augment its already pervasive range of service channels, Sun Cellular has opened a prepaid reloading service through Security Bank Online.

 

“We tap on the sophistication of online banking to create a convenient and reliable channel for our customers to reload their sun prepaid accounts anytime. Now, Security Bank Online clients can get 24/7 access to Sun load using just their gadgets and an internet connection,” said Michele Curran, vice president for marketing of Sun Business, Sun Cellular’s corporate solutions unit.

 

This new service channel accommodates reloading transactions for Sun prepaid, fixed load and easy line accounts. Subscribers can log on to their Security Bank Online account and choose the option for prepaid reloading. This will let them transfer credits from their account to their mobile number in the form of prepaid load.

 

Recently, Sun Cellular has also partnered with Banco de Oro Unibank to incorporate Sun Cellular prepaid reloading service into the existing point of sales of their different branches. This gives Sun subscribers an alternative means for reloading besides going to their neighborhood retailers and sari-sari stores.

 

Curran also said further to partnerships with banks and financial institutions for postpaid bills payment, Sun Cellular has also embarked on using these systems to better serve prepaid service patrons. Sun has then opened prepaid reloading via outlets of 7-Eleven, Cebuana Lhuillier, Netopia, Global Pinoy Remittance & Services and LoadCentral.

 

“Through synergies and partnerships like this, we cap off the customer experience by giving them a stronger network support and a far-reaching array of service channels. Beyond 24/7 communications, Sun Cellular is set to stand for convenience and reliability of service, as well,” Curran adds.
