Saridon

Have you ever used Saridon before? Do you know what it is and what it is used for? Look at this video I found on You Tube...  

Now do you know what Saridon is for? Saridon is a pain killer and it is popular in the Visayas and Mindanao areas. It is mostly embraced by the masses for pain, mainly because of  its very affordable price. Although there have already been lots of warnings about the product's side effects from many newspaper columnists, people still buy them. Columnists researched and wrote that Saridon is not safe, and vigilantly cites Saridon's previous formula which contains phenacetin, as well as its new formulation that contains propyphenazone which can have negative side-effects to its users.  Users never stopped using just because these columnists wrote about them that way.  Another point that was cited is the fact that Saridon is only made available in the Visayas and Mindanao. Why is it only available in these areas? That and many other reasons bring about doubt as to the product's thrust.


I learned that Bayer is the company that manufactures Saridon and they have the following said:

“Bayer HealthCare-Consumer Care would like to assure the public that its Paracetamol, Propyphenazone, Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is clinically proven safe and effective pain relief against headache, muscle pain and toothache. Saridon Triple Action has been duly approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines.”

Well, if that is so, then Bayer should disseminate info about the nature and scope, as well as all necessary information about Saridon so everyone will know about it. At least, if their product is really safe, they should have existing data to counter doubts or at least give people the central idea, pros or cons about the product. Even I, who lives here in Mindanao is not familiar with it until I read a few blog posts about it. When I asked friends in Manila if there is Saridon there, all they could answer is also a question of What is Saridon? And well, this post is my attempt to answer that for them.. further research is required..

Peter of Gemini Traffic Sales

This post involves one specific modus operandi, to extort money from victims. The guy in the photo below is PETER.. Peter of Gemini Traffic Sales.. The company he was said to represent. The experience with Peter is not my own but a few friends who finally learned their lesson the hard way.. 

The photo above was taken before he was arrested by NBI on a take down. Why? Here's the story:

A certain Marivic was recruited first by this Peter and appointed her as the manager for Gemini Traffic Sales in Cagayan de Oro City. And they operate as what was stated in the ad that was posted at www.istorya.net but the kids, or the college students who applied believed her as she was so convincing because that was also what Peter told her. 

But, apart from what was written above, Marivic instructed the kiddies what Peter instructed her. To place the amount of  P 600.00  inside the envelopes of their application letter with transcript of records. It was said to be for their medical. Because apparently they will have to pay a specific center to have drug tests taken as well as all other tests and this said center will only charge P 600 for all the expensive tests. So they went through their 20 days training and was told that they will be paid with it together with their after training salaries. 

After a month, I was told that all of them, including Marivic, went to the Police Station to file charges and apparently, a take down was done. They were not paid and they were already thinking of what they were told while they applied, that it may be a hoax.. 

That is Peter after he was arrested.. There is a matching video but I could not upload it..
