Alberto Block: Inexperience Displayed in Howard Chan's SWA Ultimate Article

Alberto Block displayed his sorry inexperience in Howard Chan's SWA Ultimate blog post at http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-6307 when he wrote that following about Coach Francis Kiko Javier of SWA:

Anyway bakit sya umalis at gumawa ng sariling MLM business(I am skeptical if MLM) which is tshirt business? Does this mean na alam nya nafeel nya na saturated or almost at peak na ang SWA(due to recent events) kaya nagtake na sya ng measures for alternate income? Or dahil ba yung personal reasons na yun eh madami na sya nakaaway or marami na naging skeptical sa downlines nya due to recent events? LOL
tsk tsk tsk todo defend sa SWA tapos in the end maglalaho bilang member ng SWA and bilang isa sa top team lider ng SWA lol. I guess isang hint na yan na dapat ng iwasan ang SWA. ganun naman kasi if hindi na masustain ang pyramid kakalas at maglalaho and possible magtayo ng ibang scheme like he did. Kawawa naman yung mga nasa baba.
Siguro pinalabas lang na may violation. He resigned voluntarily tapos sa huling paragraph parang ang cause enforcement of SWA policies due to violations. Anu ba talaga? =).

We can forgive Alberto Block's inexperience because it's highly possible that he hasn't worked in an office where a high ranking officer had to leave the organization.

There are cases (but I'm not saying this is the actual case of Francis Javier) where a high ranking officer is eased out of the organization, but is given the courtesy of being given the chance to resign.

We can also forgive Alberto Block's overly-eager speedreading skills. In his haste, he probably overlooked who the newsletter message was referring to when it talked about enforcing policies:

Recently, SWA management has received reports of SWA members purchasing dealership into iWin t-shirts thinking that it is a sister company or a company affiliated with SWA, perhaps because this matter was not clarified to them by iWin management. Thus, SWA management felt it necessary to clarify it in order to avoid confusion.

At any rate, while some in the top management of SWA maintain personal friendship with Mr. Javier, it is necessary for SWA to enforce some of its policies in order to protect the SWAmily as a whole. As per the official SWA Policies and Procedures, SWA members are NOT allowed in any way to use any SWA resources, SWA trademarks, SWA online properties, or even the SWA name or acronym in order to promote another network marketing program like iWin (Section 7.01). Likewise, SWA members are NOT allowed to recruit another SWA member whom he/she only met in SWA to become an iWin dealer or networker (Section 3.06). Please be guided accordingly.

In the above excerpt of the Supreme Wealth Alliance Ultimate August 8, 2014 newsletter we can surmise that SWAPI had to remind SWA members of the Policies.

Alberto Block's wild speculation about the violation being fabricated in order to hide the possibility that a SWA leader (no less thant SWA Member 001) left SWA because a crumbling business model.

Dream on, Alberto Block!

You sound like you're so bored. Perhaps your Facebook assets are not attracting enough visitors, and your monetization model has dried up like a grape on a sizzling desert floor.

Para kang gumagawa lang ng kwento, para lamang magkaroon ng kwento.

The world is an ever-changing world. Your fiercest supporter in the past can be your staunchest adversary in the future.

The person who loved you dearly ages ago, can be your coldest and most indifferent Ex in the next summer.

Alberto Block strikes me as a rather naive little boy who lacks not only corporate exposure, but also real-world practical experience.

The nice thing about this entire sorry experience, however, is that we all learn and that we all grow.

Hopefully, Alberto will be open-minded enough, and not--pardon the pun--block his emotional development.

PootangSwa in Howard Chan's SWA Ultimate Page

PootangSwa left these comments in the SWA Ultimate blog post of Howard Chan in Filipinolosophy.

In http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-6240

T*ng ina nyo nag memeeting ang team ko, Tama na, pati mga family members(recruited) namin nagtatanong na ano ba talga misyon and vision ng companyang ito? itong mga produkto natin? hindi kaya ang tao ang binibenta natin o ang produkto? dun namin napag isipan itigil na kalokohan STOp na kami t*ng ina nyong swa kapwa nyo pilipino ginagawa nyo sipsipan ng dugo ano tayo lamok? TAMA na pagiging greedy inaamin namin ng team ko na madami na kaming naipon pero madami na ring naloko ayaw ko na One free ticket to hell to

And in http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-6238

For the recruiter/members of Swa i got 3 words for you “F*CK YOU ALL”, ayusin nyo muna ang process pag recruit nyo nagliparan ang mga modus na mapaglinlang dahil sa low security ng processo niyo… Yung resibo ko p**t*ng ina ibigay niyo!!!! Ayokong yumaman na manloloko sa kapwa ko, magiging bwaya na rin ako tulad ng mga gobyerno, yayaman paano? dahil sa produkto? o sa dami ng marerecruit? quality ba ang product? lifetime ba? o baka naman kakawa lang ang ibang marerecruit ko? t*ng ina nyo unti unti kong narealize gawain ng swa di ko pa matanggap na pati pamilya ko niloko at ginawa kong mangloloko pati pamilya ko t*ng ina nyo

What do we have here? We see PootangSwa on a foul-mouthed rampage (I had to * some of the letters) where he/she openly admits that he/she and his/her team fooled their recruits.

They admit to earning and saving a lot, and that they fooled so many people also in the process.

He/she exhibits so much self-hatred for having fooled even their very own family members.

I don't know what their team said to the people they recruited. I don't know what promises they made. I don't know how they described the products that their relatives, friends, and recruits purchased.

Judging from the verbal tirade, however, we can surmise that PootangSwa and his/her minions did not even use the ebooks. All they focused on was recruiting.

A Challenge To PootangSwa

Go ahead and immediately return all your earnings to the people you self-admittedly fooled. That's P840 for every P2,500 that they paid. You can pay them back the remaining P1,660 over time.

And if you are deeply sincere about the things you posted online in Howard Chan's blog, then voluntarily terminate your membership.

Do not delete your SWA pages and videos online. Instead, edit them and explain why you have stopped.

Redirect all your affiliate links to a webpage where you apologize for the things you have done and where you will number the steps you will take to concretely compensate all the people you have fooled.

And if you do not do this, then we will treat your vitriolic and gutter-mouth comments as merely fake comments fabricated by some twisted mind desperately aimed only at discrediting SWA Ultimate.

Nester's Question About SWA Ultimate Payment Destination

Nester is at it again over at Howard Chan's blog page about SWA (see http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-6131)

Why should I pay membership fee to Juan Delacruz account rather than SWA admin? This is SCAM!

Is Nester running out of criticisms to hurl against SWA Ultimate?

Or is he simply displaying his lack of research and understanding?

SWA Philippines Inc (SWAPI) does not sell SWA Activation Codes. Hence, it does not make sense for people to pay SWA Admins for things which the SWA Admins are not selling.

If people were to pay the SWA Admins for Activation Codes, then that would be a scam.

Now since people are NOT paying SWA Admins for Activation Codes, then we can characterize Nester's question/comment as rank stupidity.

It is most unfortunate that someone as UNINFORMED as Nester keep spouting off the word "Scam" conveniently. That's what happens when there is a clear disconnect between someone's tongue and what otherwise should have been a discerning mind.

Or is this some type of desperate smear marketing campaign aimed at fooling those who are easily swayed.

Nester tries to make it appear as if he were going to pay P2,500 to the SWA Admins. But the truth of the matter is, Nester is not interested at all in SWA Ultimate.

And yet he has the nerve to ask why should he pay a membership fee to an individual rather than to the SWA Admins.

The gall!

The height of Darwinism! :-)

We wonder why Howard Chan manages to gain supporters of such character. They keep patting themselves on the back for thorough research, when what they publish online merely serves to bolster the conclusion that they have really no idea what they're talking about.

This makes me wonder if the success of SWA has made certain quarters envious, to the point of posting anti-SWA articles just so that they have something negative to say about SWA.

Who cares if the metric by which they subject SWA is not used by the very groups who set up such standards? Or will Howard Chan once again flash the a priori reasoning card?

Attention Nester! Please just focus on your webinar invitations. Or better yet, please write more Four Corners Alliance Group reviews.

We saw this online:

Seriously, that all it takes! $18.00! just $18.00 & from then on your commissions pay for everything and man will it pay!!
Nester, are you guaranteeing earnings? That man will it pay exclamation sounds like someone's trying to raise my expectations. Are you trying to hype your presentation?

But seriously, Nester, please work on your promotion efforts. You've been at this for quite sometime and yet you have less than 70 clicks on the affiliate link that you've been trying to push online.

Maybe... just maybe... if you immerse yourself in your affiliate marketing the way you passionately participate in Howard Chan's Filipinolosophy blog, you'll get ahead in your internet business.

Ryan's Views On SWA Ultimate

Howard Chan and his blog posts about SWA Ultimate attracted Ryan who commented this in http://howard.uberdigests.info/2014/04/15/swa-is-now-a-corporation-but-this-does-not-legitimize-their-business-scheme/#comment-5892

i mean why should i join SWA anyway where i will convince and wait for so long to get my money back again.

This is hilarious!

I mean, look at the other part of Ryan's comment:
With my 2,500 i can put up a buy and sell like with 2500 i can buy a wholesale product of 100 pc item @P25/item i will sell it for P60 each, now i earn P35/itemx100pcs. Thats P3,500 in one transaction
Is Ryan implying that with SWA, he needs to convince, while with his hypothetical wholesale-retail business, he does not need to convince customers to buy his products?

Here's something you need to know: You do not need to convince people to join SWA.

You can exert effort and attempt to persuade people, if you want to.

But you don't need to do that.

Here's another thing: You don't need to keep on buying inventory.

That's the beauty of electronic products.

They're not like Ryan's P25 products that you buy and then sell, and then have to buy again so that you have something to sell again.

And as for people who are asking: "When will I recover my P2,500?"

Know this: SWA Ultimate is NOT for people who are fixating on the recovery of P2,500.

I mean, c'mon!

Are you really an entrepreneur if you stay awake at night, tossing and turning in bed, wondering how you can recover your P2,500?

And please, please, PLEASE! I hope the supporters (or split personalities?) of Howard Chan think of more creative names than the ones which have recently sprung up in his Filipinolosophy comment area.

To Howard Chan: Quit futzing around and pierce the corporate veil already.

Howard Chan and 2 Year Old SWA Ultimate

Howard Chan says that SWA Ultimate violates the Consumer Act. Well, SWA turn 2 yeard old in early August 2014, and the DTI has SWA "under evaluation."

Or perhaps Howard is slowly having a change of heart?

His hight-traffic blog post "SWA Ultimate Is A Scam" used to have a comment area where Howard Chan was quite active.

Lately, however, Howard has been rather silent, despite the presence of new blog posts in his Filipinolosophy blog at http://howard.uberdigests.info

Francis Chaves announced in a YouTube video that SWA Ultimate is just getting started. He recounted how people gave SWA only 6 months to survive.

And then that fearless forecast was adjusted to 12 months.

Yet now we see SWA turning 2 years old.

SWA Founding Member Jeffrey Lopez Perez admitted that there has been a slow down in production. Maybe that means sales of new SWA accounts have declined.

Perez attributes that to the summer break, and how people who go on vacation haven't had time to do other things.

But didn't summer end in June? I'm saying that because I couldn't buy any salbabida anymore in the malls.

Tapos na po ang summer, gently reminded the saleslady in the department store.

Well, excuse me po... I thought it was summer because of Jeff Perez and his August 2014 speech.

All things being equal, that's probably the reason why Francis Chaves announced a SWA Ultimate promo starting August 8, 2014. Siguro nga, tapos na talaga ang summer, kaya pwede nang mag promo to the max.

From the way things look, the management of SWA Ultimate or SWA Philippines Inc (SWAPI) is focused on boosting New Customer Sales. With the announcement of the Go Get 7 Plus promo, we will see if this will help excite SWA members into a frenzy of sales.

Thankfully, we haven't seen any abnormal rise in the flood of Facebook spam. Either SWA members have matured, or people are growing tired.

And that is a larger threat, compared to the things that Howard Chan has said against SWA Ultimate.

Is SWA Ultimate a scam?

They're quite transparent, if you look at them.

They revealed online that their Founding Member 001 Francis Hermes Javier (also known as Tatay or Coach Kiko Javier) resigned in July 2014.

They also showed photos of the SWA 2nd Anniversary event in Paranaque.

From the photos, you can judge for yourself what the earning ability is. From the gigantic (figuratively and literally) checks of P1 million to P4 million, you will be able to sense if SWA is legit.

If you review past videos or past Facebook posts of previous SWA celebrations, you can easily compare who are the people who stood up and talked about their success in SWA Ultimate.

Here are some of the popular names:

Armon Gatus, Romel Gome Aguas, Johnny Bodegas, Johnny Dado, Jeffrey Lopez Perez, Lenton Montejo, Mark Deximo, Mark Pulido, and others.

The names sound familiar. Maybe next year we'll get to see new names. New success stories. New inspirational messages of connect and uplift.

In the meantime, Howard Chan clings to his Consumer Act and worthless ebooks research. Or maybe he is working on his BIR project.

Either way, summer is over. At mukhang nagsasawa na ang mga tao.

Albert Block, Amazon, and PLR Ebooks

If you saw the comment of Albert Block in Howard Chan's SWA blog post - http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-5656

Sa makatuwid Ang standpoint ng Amazon sa PLR Ebooks eh basura lamang at spam at nakakadegrade ng customer experience.

You will most likely wonder how Albert Block came to that conclusion from this:

Amazon was yanking their P.L.R. e-books from the Kindle store. Amazon tells the offenders that their copycats “diminish the experience for customers.”

Asked about this, an Amazon spokeswoman, Brittany Turner, said, “We have worked steadily to build processes to detect and remove undifferentiated or barely differentiated versions of e-books.”

Source: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/12/amazon-cracks-down-on-some-e-book-publishers/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

 Perhaps Albert Block needs a new pair of glasses. And he/she shouldn't put words in the mouth of Amazon.

Here are the key words: Undifferentiated / barely differentiated versions

If people published/upload 1,000 versions of "How To Get Six Pack Abs" in Amazon, customers will get tired from having to wade through so many undifferented / barely differentiated books.

That's tiring!

So instead of tiring customers, Amazon decided to not offer all those PLR ebooks.

It makes sense.

Unfortunately, Albert Block jumps to the conclusion that those PLR ebooks are garbage (basura).

And worse, makes it appear that Amazon flat out calls these ebooks garbage.

This only proves that Albert Block does not know how to use PLR ebooks, and that he/she will jump at the chance to twist the words of Amazon.

Tingnan mo ito...

If Albert does not know how to play a violin, he'd probably see an old battered and worn out violin as worthless.

Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyt3-Uy4gVQ



Just because people like Albert Block think PLR ebooks have LOW market value, it doesn't mean such ebooks have NO market value.

The acquisition cost is $55 or P2,500.

But if even one of those ebooks helps you earn extra time or money or health or helps you develop your relationship with others, then that's $55 well spent.

Samakatuwid, kapag basura ang laman ng isip ng isang tao, basura din ang pananaw niya sa ibang mahahalagang bagay. Mabuti na lang at hindi ka katulad ni Albert Block.

Howard Chan, Upwarm, and SWA Ultimate

We were reviewing the "UPWARM is a Scam" blog post of Howard Chan and saw this at http://howard.uberdigests.info/2014/06/12/upwarm-is-a-scam/

Update (July 31, 2014)
Upwarm is now officially declared as a scam! Watch the video below.
REMEMBER: The guidelines I used in declaring UPWARM is a scam is the very same guidelines I used in analyzing SWA and NBO. So it’s just a matter of time before these two other scams will be officially declared as such. Kudos to everyone who helped in bringing down Upwarm!

When did Howard Chan blog about Upwarm being a scam?
June 12, 2014

What is the date of the video that Howard referred to in his update?
July 31, 2014

When did Howard Chan publish his "SWA is a Scam!" blog post?
November 19, 2013

What is the status of SWA Ultimate as far as government agencies are concerned?
Still under evaluation by the DTI/NCR as of July 31, 2014.

Why did the NBI take action in the case of Upwarm?
There were reportedly around 168 complainants.

What about SWA Ultimate?
According to Howard Chan, the complainants don't want to come forward.

How much did members pay to Upwarm?
P1,499

How much did people pay SWA Ultimate?
P2,500

And now we read Howard Chan's line about it being just a matter of time before SWA Ultimate also gets declared by the government as a scam?

Howard's logic sounds pretty messed up.

Imagine, there was P1,499 Upwarm and reportedly 168 complainants.

And then there's the more expensive P2,500 SWA Ultimate and zero complainants.

It's been more than 255 days since the Howard Chan blog post in Filipinolosophy.

And yet Howard firmly believes that SWA Ultimate is a scam, even if his "analysis" has been proven baseless and unsupported.

Let's cut to the chase and avoid all those lengthy debates which Howard and his online supporters (e.g., GraceBee, Vigilante, Nester) seem to look forward to.

Let's just answer this question: What are your results, Howard Chan?

I mean, aside from the 15,000+ Facebook shares of the supposedly well-researched post at http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/

(Facebook Likes/Shares don't really count as a result. When we say result, we mean the kind of result experienced recently in the case of Upwarm.)

We also do not count as a result comments by people like "Richard" in http://howard.uberdigests.info/2013/11/19/swa-is-a-scam/#comment-5302

SWA is a scam Based on my observations in their facebook group page, I can say that they are a scam. What am i saying this?I observed that all their members are posting not their earning but the earnings of other members....

Let's get this straight:  Just because people don't know how to market SWA correctly, that does not make SWA a scam.

So please, present sensible arguments in the future.
