'Upgrade your Drive with Dell' winners named

MANILA, Philippines -  The “ber” months usher the way to the forthcoming joyous holidays. But this early, Dell brings early Yuletide cheer to some of its lucky patrons when it formally closed its summer bonanza recently.

Simply dubbed “Upgrade your Drive with Dell,” the promotion ran from March 15 through June 30. The raffle mechanics were very simple: for every purchase of any Dell participating product, a customer earned one raffle ticket.

But aside from joining the raffle, every customer also had the chance of winning an instant prize as the raffle ticket also served as a scratch card.

During the three-month promotion, Dell gave out instant prizes as well. Some of the prizes won by lucky Dell notebook buyers included P300 worth of Sodexo Meal and Food Pass vouchers; P500 worth of Sodexo Premium Passes; P1,000 worth of Havaianas Flip Flops vouchers; WD My Passport 500GB external drive; a WD TV Live Hub 1TB media player; a Nikon S82 Digital Camera; and Oakley sports sunglasses for men.

The grand raffle winners were Jessie Dominguez and Atty. Ferdinand Mangahas who won for themselves a Dell Inspiron 2320 notebook while Vergil Bergola won for himself a Dell XPS Ultrabook.

Other winners included Ailenejoy Omega, James Virtusio and Ferdie Fajardo who each won a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera. Jomar Malimban went home with a Misibis Bay vacation package for two.

And rounding up the list of lucky winners was Arvin Alitagtag, who proved to be the luckiest by winning a brand-new Ford Fiesta Hatch vehicle. The 30-year-old administrative assistant from PLDT simply got a Dell product because it was recommended to him by friends who all said that the brand was known for its quality products.

And speaking of beginner’s luck, Alitagtag, a newly-wed groom to bride Margarita Alitagtag, was in fact a first-time user of a Dell product.

Drawn in the presence of Dell executives and a DTI representative, the grand draw was held recently at the Dell office in Libis, Quezon City. The awarding of prizes took place last Aug. 23 at the Ford Showroom in Bonifacio Global City.
