UNO ramps up Phl expansion

MANILA, Philippines - Multi-level network marketing firm UNO (Unlimited Network of Opportunities International Corp) is aiming to catapult itself as the world’s number one network marketing company as it ramps up its expansion in the Philippines.

Since its formal launch in April 2007, the company – founded by William Barbo, Herbie Chua and Oliver Chua – has grown to more than 200 franchisee offices in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao as well as in Hong Kong and Macau.

The company gives thousands of Filipinos opportunities for entrepreneurship by enabling them to directly offer to the public high quality consumer goods with private labels such as 1st Health that meet consumers’ needs for daily, healthy as well as convenient living.

UNO products are sold through individuals selling to other individuals who knew and therefore trusted them.

As the term multilevel implies, one could earn from their company through various levels: direct seller working for a distributor, UNO franchisee putting up a network of distributors, distributor selling UNO products and business packages, and distributor who also sponsors others to become distributors.

“Our first products were grapeseed supplements, virgin coconut oil, and glutathione capsules,” Barbo said.

Within the next four years, UNO’s network of distributors and network marketers grew along with its product lines.

It recently launched a new brand of feminine napkin as well as a new brand of eau de toilette perfume. These are in addition to its already growing line of health supplements, beverages, cosmetics, personal hygiene items, and wellness accessories.

UNO has also ensured that all its activities have always been transparent and legitimate. Thus, one can readily find on its website a copy of its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

So too are the copies of compliance certificates for requirements for other government offices concerned: the Food and Drugs Authority, Department of Trade and Industry, Bureau of Internal Revenue, various local government units, and Office of Muslim Affairs.

The last is to certify that UNO beverages and health supplements fulfill requirements for halal food.

It has also been awarded ISO or International Standards Organization certification that guarantees its procedures and operations meet world-class standards.

 UNO is the very first network marketing company in the Philippines to have received such certification.

It also bagged the Asia Pacific Global Excellence Award as the No.1 Network Marketing Company in the Philippines, for three consecutive years.
