Nu Skin's "Pasko ng Pag-asa, Handog ng Nu Skin Kapamilya”

15th Floor Octagon Building, Nu Skin Philippines, is actually more than just doing business and selling products. Through their various goodwill projects, their non-profit/charitable foundation called Force for Good, they have partnered with other charitable organizations and successfully engineered various fund-raising charities through the years. This December, Nu Skin Philippines held "Pasko ng Pag-asa, Handog ng Nu Skin Kapamilya”, a fund-raising luncheon project under Nu Skin’s Force For Good (FFG) Program, for the benefit of the children of Child Health in Life and Development Foundation (CHILD) Foundation who need heart operation.

Distributors, Nu Skin's sales and Marketing Arm and the ones who actually "contact" you to present the business opportunity, supported this cause and bought tickets to a benefit luncheon where they had lunch with the children and got a chance to interact with them. Fifty (50) children with different heart ailments attended the event with their parents. The event also served as an early Christmas party for the children as they were entertained by a ventriloquist/puppeteer and other kiddie programs. There was also a gift-giving portion where the kids received toys as Christmas gifts while their parents were given a pack of groceries for their Christmas dinner. During the program, CHILD Foundation was also awarded PhP 2, 000,000 by Nu Skin Philippines and the Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund to support the heart operation of 40 children.

And it’s not just a one-time project or an annual campaign; it’s actually an ongoing activity and avenue for their distributors to actually contribute to a very good cause. So now I found out they not just call and do business with people, they also do real business in helping save lives. Too good to be true? Perhaps. But indeed, they do. No scammer has actually made a contribution this serious to society, hasn’t it? We do not need to be actual geniuses to know the difference.

Nu Skin President South East Asia is awarded Best Asian Executive by International "Stevie" Awards

15th Floor Ocatgon Bldg houses Nu Skin Philippines, and just recently, Nu Skin President of the Southeast Asia Region Melisa Tantoco-Quijano was awarded Best Asian Executive by the 2010 International Stevie Awards for Women in Business. To emphasize, the particular awards recognize the accomplishments of outstanding women executives, business owners and the organizations they run. Under Melisa’s leadership, the Southeast Asian region has become a center of Nu Skin and is currently the fastest growing region for the company. This also exemplifies the Nu Skin culture through Quijano's unyielding commitment to supporting local sales leaders, as well as her long-standing dedication to the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund. Overseeing six countries, more than 300 employees and nearly 4,000 executive distributors, Quijano led Southeast Asia to a strong year in 2009, generating $109 million in revenue. In addition to her sharp business acumen, Quijano also serves as an honorary board member of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Foundation of Thailand, a board member of the CHILD Foundation in the Philippines and board member of the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund.

This company humbly presents the fact that more than 1,200 nominations were submitted to the International Stevie Awards for Women in Business this year, and such recognition of a Filipino industry leader can't prove enough Nu Skin's genuine dedication and commitment to its core values. Many people remain skeptic about this company despite the facts, but one can just wonder why. Research is key. Credibility is key. Facts change the rules of the game. So here is the research. Here is the credibility. Think and see for yourself.

Nu Skin Launches ageLOC

It's not all calls and business at 15th Floor Octagon Bldg,as Nu Skin Philippines launches a new anti-aging product, ageLOC anti-aging skincare system. The product unveiling was held at the Ayala Museum, Makati last October 27, 2010. So what exactly is this skincare product all about? The ageLOC Transformation daily skincare system, recently awarded as Best New Product of the Year by 2010 International Business Award, delivers a promise of youthful looks by targeting not only the signs but mainly the sources of aging.

Nu Skin Enterprises Regional President for Southeast Asia Melisa Tantoco-Quijano proudly states, “While others are still addressing the signs of aging, we are effectively fighting aging at its source. Our products can address aging at the genetic level and only Nu Skin has the science to do this.”

“After only a few months in the market, the ageLOC opportunity has proven to be the best ever yet. Our performance as a region and as a company has never been this good. Our growth in sales and sponsoring has been the highest ever. And I know we are just beginning,” says Ms. Quijano.

Scams companies do not and cannot go to heights like these both in product innovation and industry recognition.  Nu Skin Philippines achieves time and again what proves and cements its leadership and credibility in the legitimate MLM industry.

Real People achieve real success in Nu Skin. No Hocus-pocus and short term achievements

15th floor Octagon building has been a subject of urban “myths” nowadays. ”Myths” that evolved to various stories on its own by different sorts of people and mindsets. To its detractors and illegitimate business counterparts, there are also myths that are promised but are not supported by actual results: Success. Valid and genuine success. Many multi level marketing companies promise immediate success to its distributors, often times giving them false hopes. More often, its successful members attain (not achieve) their successful status not through genuine work, but through manipulation, therefore attaining successes that are short-lived. Nu Skin Philippines however, with offices in 15th floor Octagon Building, has produced genuine successful business executives purely on legitimate and valid hard work and perseverance. They are called their Blue Diamonds, and they are not called as such for nothing.

Blue Diamonds are the rarest form of diamonds and it is evolved through the test of time, hammered by challenging climates, and formed out of the ordinary to be extraordinary. Nu Skin’s Blue Diamonds are explicitly described as its direct equivalent in the business. They are the cream of the crop, the achievers who stand out, surviving the challenging climates and test of time. They did the business exceptionally through hard work, and best of all, they are ordinary people who became extraordinary in what they do and how they live, because they have decided to.

Genuine Success in Nu Skin Philippines

Nu Skin Philippines brings genuine success to its distributors in more than a decade, proving the company's legitimacy and credibility to the industry. At the forefront of Nu Skin's success are their Blue Diamonds and they are people that Nu Skin brands who demonstrate enthusiasm – constantly. Inspiring leaders who have an abundance of passion for what they do. You cannot inspire unless you’re inspired yourself. Period. Passion is something that cannot be taught. You either have passion for your message or you don’t, and these people legitimately earned all these. They are leaders among already emerging leaders, and inspiring leaders tell memorable stories. There exist hundreds of Blue Diamond testimonies around the world, but most importantly, inspiring and compelling tales have also taken place here in the Philippines. Ordinary and relatable people, average Joes, students, even those with physical disabilities, have not hindered their road to genuine success. I have witnessed during my time with this company, how an ordinary farmer from Quezon struggling with a new family was able to ultimately achieve tremendous success in what before seemed to be impossible. His problems were real, that became subjects of his drive, and therefore his eventual success was real. He never resolved to take shrewd means to an end, only real hard work, motivation, and the promise and opportunity of a company, doing the real business in 15th floor Octagon Building. They are real people like you and me. Young people who became self-made millionaires at the tender age of 25 – 30, people living in poverty and tragedy who successfully changed their lives and the lives of the people they love.

What the Corporate People really do behind Nu Skin Philippines

Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr Octagton Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly soliciting unprofessional ways of ‘inviting’ and scamming random people. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the MLM business. It is undeniable though, that other fly by night companies do practice deceit and scam in exchange of short term sales, but Nu Skin and the caliber of business practice and products they have is definitely not part of it. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.


Nu Skin’s corporate management, trains and guides their distributors to do business the right and legitimate way…all the way. And they may be responsible for what their sales arm reflects upon them, but it is not fair enough to lay down verdict negatively towards it as a whole. That is my opinion, from what I have seen, experienced, and have personally done.

Why do people from 15th floor Octagon Building actually call you?

Admittedly, people do get ‘wrongly invited’ and/or “persuaded” by those working at 15th flr Octagon Bldg in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, that almost likely seem to generate negative perception towards not only to those who experience such unfortunate undertakings, but eventually to the company itself which is actually Nu Skin Enterpises Philippines, Inc. The company never did deny the fact that they are an MLM (short of saying, a Networking) company, nor did they ever solicit illegal ways and scams to communicate and treat their clients, customers, business partners, in ways that would deliberately discredit their more than 2 decades-long global operations.

On the other hand, people working in at the 15th flr Octagon Bldg are composed of two distinct structures with different distinct purposes: the independent distributors (the direct sales arm of the company) and corporate (management). Nu Skin Philippines DOES practice and follow professionalism in their services to their distributors & customers, contrary to what others point out at them otherwise.

The independent Distributors are at the front end of the business nature of Nu Skin, but rest assured, corporate management maintains protocols that see to it that its policies and procedures are professionally executed at all times. Sure, anybody and everybody can be an independent distributor of the company if they wish to (providing legal and valid requirements), but trainings for its new distributors are conducted by the company itself and not by other independent or third party entities. These trainings are conducted by Nu Skin to make explicitly sure that new distributors do the business legitimately and professionally. They are trained to handle it as their personal businesses and to never elude to a scam-like manner. Company policies and procedures are strictly applied like any other companies and corporations worldwide, and above all they practice moral codes of both (personal and business) ethics that the company compulsory teaches each of their new Distributors if they are to be made the sales arms of the company. They are deliberately trained not to deceive both customers and prospective business partners, otherwise, the company would be risking its credibility it has been maintaining (specially in a level of moral high ground). Not only does corporate involvement end after training its new distributors, but Account Managers are positioned closely and constantly to assist, monitor, and support active distributors. Not only do they provide support in the technical aspects of the business procedures, but they see to it that the business is done the right way and maintain professionalism in the field. Corporate Support is not limited to its distributors but also extends to customers’ needs and immediate concerns. And all these are done through a systematic standard operating procedure that is readily available virtually 24/7 and within the maximum use of current available technology.
