The Aling Puring Convention was as usual another big hit! There was a constant stream of people coming and even our booth was overwhelmed. Puregold and its partners made a lot of shoppers and consumers happy during those 4 days with all the promos, deals and games and interesting seminars being offered left and right.


Other than the money side of things, Puregold also instills proper values in their customers with talks by Pastor Jojo Baldo and Mr. Francis Kong relating doing good business to touching other people's lives through selling.


They really make their customers happy and valued that is why it is no wonder they are a preferred choice in being the "Ka-Asenso" partner of many business owners.

Puregold's Aling Puring Convention this year was a true testament to fulfill a promise of partnership, enhancing the business and cultivating loyalty and trust. I attended the first Aling Puring Convention 6 years ago and I saw it evolved from offering products at great value to offering a lifetime commitment to their Ka-Asenso partners to positively influence their lives. We, at Coca-Cola, share the same passion to refresh and bring happiness to our partners and consumers every time, everyday. Thank you for the honor of allowing us to be part of this amazingly inspiring event. In today's unsettling world, our greatness as leaders is determined by our ability to instill greatness in others -- this is what you just did. Congratulations!

I was assigned to Puregold just recently, April 1, 2011 and this was my very first Aling Puring Convention experience. So far, so tired! Hahaha But honestly, though it really is very tiring and requires long days of preparation, after the convention has been successfully done, it is very fulfilling to see that we have been a part of this big event and our efforts paid off.

The recent Aling Puring 'SIKAP" Convention is a true testament on how Puregold has been able to transfigure Aling Puring into a character that lives and binds people across diverse experiences from different parts of the region. It's amazing how Puregold can create an event that evolves year in and year out that continuously keep shoppers yearn for more. Truly one of the most exciting events I have witnessed. Kudos to Puregold!

The recently- concluded Aling Puring SIKAP Convention was truly a resounding success.


Once I stepped into the convention hall, I was in awe of the large crowd that greeted me- people were excited, enthusiastic, and very eager to see what this year's event had to offer. And the organizers and partner- companies, did not disappoint.


Judging from the awards that it garnered, Puregold's vision to becoming the most customer-oriented hypermart (offering a one-stop shopping convenience and best value to customers), was realized that day.


I wish you continued success Puregold, looking forward to a strengthened partnership in the many years to come!
