Shopee buyer wins XTREME Holiday Makeover and a vivo X70 phone

Tweet

Manila, Philippines- “Sobrang saya na hindi expected kasi hindi naman talaga ako nananalo sa mga raffle..”, says Louis Jan Havana, grand raffle prize winner of home office appliances and 1 vivo X70 phone, from the XTREME Home Office Makeover Raffle Promo. Mr. Havana says that his win came at the right time as they are currently building their dream home for their family.

“Tuwang-tuwa ako kasi sakto may bahay kaming pinapagawa. Sabi ko meron ng aircon, meron ng lahat ng appliances. Hindi na kami bibili [kasi] sobrang thankful at blessed talaga kami.” Mr. Havana happily claims. The XTREME Home Office Makeover Raffle Promo ran from November 11, 2021 until November 30, 2021. In an effort to give back to loyal Shopee customers and recognize the hard work they have put into making their work-from-home scenario to maximum productivity in a time of the global pandemic, XTREME Appliances in partnership with vivo and Shopee launched the raffle promo.

With the presence of a DTI representative, the raffle prize winners were drawn last December 15, 2021. Mr. Havana, being the Grand Prize winner, has won jaw-dropping prizes simply by checking out XTREME Appliances products during Shopee 11.11 Big Christmas Sale. The list includes:

● 32” XTREME LED TV

● 1.0HP XTREME Cool Split Type Aircon

● 20L XTREME Home Manual Microwave Oven

● XTREME Home Coffee Machine

● XTREME Home Personal Blender

Back to Back Surprises

Mr. Havana admitted that he didn’t intentionally join the raffle promo. He was simply buying a decent gift to surprise his wife for her birthday. “Wala talaga akong [ano], basta ang iniisip ko lang ‘nun bibili ako gawa ng November ‘nun, sabi ko 11.11 isasabay ko sa birthday ng asawa ko, gawa ng November 16 birthday niya.. Wala talaga akong inaasahan, hindi ko talaga alam na merong raffle, basta bumili lang talaga ako.”, he explained.

To make sure that the surprise was a success, he even made his friend an accomplice and asked him to buy the item on his behalf so his wife won’t have a clue. “Yung friend ko [na] nag-suggest na ito [50cm XTREME X-Series Gas Range Pro] yung bilhin ko. Sabi ko kapag in-order ko kasi to sa Shopee na gamit account ko, makikita niya. Sabi ko ikaw muna mag order, tapos bayaran ko na lang sayo. Sabi ko check mo nga kung anong date. Sakto naman, sakto sa birthday niya. Check natin kung ano, kung masusurprise siya. Edi ayun nung dumating, tanong siya ng tanong ano yan? Sabi ko, ‘yan yung regalo ko sayo check mo na lang kung maganda.”,He added.

Work-from-Home Ready

According to Mr. Havana, the raffle prizes will be put to good use especially that he’s one of the many Filipinos who have transitioned to work remotely at home. “Yung phone [vivo X70] siguradong makakatulong ‘yan kasi work from home, meron akong laptop pero kapag may meeting ako meron akong extrang phone pang meeting na may magandang camera. Tapos yung other appliances na napalanunan ko siguradong magagamit namin sa lilipatan namin bahay.” He added further. No words can explain how grateful he is for the raffle prizes he has won.

Aside from Mr. Havana, two loyal Shopee customers of XTREME Appliances have also won consolation prizes namely— Jenalyn Calilit who won a 50cm XTREMEHome Gas Range and Menchie Peña who won a 10L XTREME Home Portable Air Cooler.

The series of lockdowns are tough for many Filipino employees and XTREME Appliances is all about giving solutions and convenience to help them achieve their day-to-day tasks. The brand will continue to market products with innovation, functionality, and valuable worth. In line with XTREME Appliances bringing cost-effective products to customers, the brand is also joining the 4.4 Shopee Big Brands Sale starting April 4 where select items are discounted up to 37%.
