From Debt to Dynasty: The REDmarkable Journey of Exequila Bulac

by Ferry Bayu | Aug 7, 2025 | Business

In the world of network marketing, success stories often begin with hardship—and Exequila Bulac’s journey is no exception. As the Foundress of SRS Firearies Dynasty under REDinc, her rise from financial despair to inspiring leader is a powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and determination.

Before discovering REDinc, Exequila worked as an employee at a financing company. A proud high school graduate, she had already achieved what many with limited education could only hope for—employment in a major company. But like many, she soon realized that a modest educational background often comes with a modest paycheck.

Everything changed when she became a mother. Her child’s medical operation demanded a huge sum, and with limited income, Exequila fell into overwhelming debt—reaching as high as one million pesos. Faced with unimaginable pressure and uncertainty, she turned to prayer. And through divine timing, help came.

Her sister, Mentor Ely, introduced her to REDinc. Though she knew nothing about multi-level marketing (MLM), Exequila made the bold decision to try. Her mindset shifted: “Why not learn it? What if this is the way out of poverty?”

On August 8, 2018, her life took a new direction. With the support of mentors Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, Vanesa Gavales, Michael Majan, and Rona Capuyan, Exequila gradually learned the ropes and began earning—impressively landing in the Top 15 Earners during her first year, all while doing REDinc part-time. As the pandemic struck and many relied on government aid, Exequila and her siblings thrived. They poured every waking hour into online networking, running on just two to three hours of sleep. But for Exequila, exhaustion was worth it if it meant covering her child’s medical needs.

But God’s blessings didn’t stop there. Her commitment to REDinc allowed her to buy her own house and lot, begin paying off her million-peso debt, and spend more time with her child—something she could only dream of before.

In 2022, she pushed herself further by combining online and offline networking. Stepping into face-to-face marketing brought new challenges—fear, discomfort, rejection—but Exequila kept going. Her secret? She focused on her dreams, not her doubts. Her courage inspired not only her own progress but also that of her growing team.

“To my REDinc partners,” she says, “keep dreaming. No matter how many rejections or criticisms you face, never give up. Be braver—for your dreams, for your family.” She extends her gratitude to the SRS-Global Family, her mentors, coaches, and all her partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. And most of all, to President Jayant Era of REDinc, for believing in their dreams.

Exequila’s story reminds us of one thing: “Sa networking hindi pwedeng puro UTAK ang gamitin dapat may PUSO ka din.” – Mentor Lec

Argos Philippines launches the Odyssey 2.0: A bold new chapter in Filipino timekeeping

by Ferry Bayu | Jul 25, 2025 | Business

ARGOS PHILIPPINES, a watch microbrand based in the Philippines, proudly unveils the ODYSSEY 2.0, the latest evolution of its flagship watch series, inspired by the pivotal age in the coming of modern human history: The Renaissance. 

In the next stage of its journey, The Odyssey 2.0 comes in three romancing colors, signifying the revival of intellect and art lost during the dark ages. First, the white in lacquer finish represents enlightenment – of the emergence from the dark and pureness from divine inspiration. It was the color of revelation, worn by angels and imagined by thinkers as light breaking through ignorance.The second color of burgundy represents the mind – engaged in deep thought and passion to will and reason. A color worn by thinkers and magistrates, it embodied depth and cultivated wisdom.

The third color peach-salmon represents the hand – celebrating the power of the flesh to work and create. It symbolized the act of making, where the hand meets art in warm, living color.

The burgundy and peach-salmon colors are both made in a sunburst finish, symbolic of the boom of creativity that comes from the unity of mind and body.

Made for the everyday, the Odyssey 2.0 blends timeless design with modern craftsmanship. A top grade 316L stainless steel case in a 38mm diameter with brushed finish offers robustness and wearability on any occasion or activity. A date complication at the 3:00 position means you never lose touch of day. BGW9-lumed applied indices adds a different character at night, and a unique take for each of the colors.

The Odyssey 2.0 now comes in a leather strap with a deployant clasp.

True to the Argos Philippines philosophy, The Odyssey 2.0 is powered by the tested and true Japanese NH35 automatic movement, offering approximately 41 hours of power reserve, and the guarantee of a robust workhorse movement trusted by millions worldwide.

The Odyssey 2.0 is retailed at PhP 12,999.00 (approximately US$230.00) and can be shipped worldwide.
