Following the Grand Opportunity Meeting on Friday August, 24 the Third Anniversary Celebration of Max Philippines started the next day at 12:30 pm at the SMX Convention Center.  A crowd of over 1,000 Associates and their guests were lined up to attend this momentous event and soon filed into the convention center where they were greeting by the luxurious sounds of a four-string quartet.

The celebratory event started with a parade of flags representing the different countries where Max International is established.   After the opening ceremonies, Joey Sarmiento, the General Manager for the Philippines and Singapore welcomed all the attending Corporate Executives, International Leaders, Philippine Associates and their guests.  He set the tone for the day by reviewing all the recent developments and achievements made by Max Philippines over the past year.

Joey then introduced Max Co-Founder Steven Scott, who spoke at length about the humble beginning of Max and how it has continued to grow and expand internationally.  The highlight of his talk was the introduction of Cellgevity, Max’s premier product, into the Philippines and the reveal of the new Starter Kits customized specifically for the Philippines market.

A major part of the event’s celebration was recognizing all the Associates who advanced in rank and who achieved success during the Max 90 Day Recruitment Challenge.  As a market, the Philippines did outstandingly well during the 90 Day Challenge, awarding 24 different qualifiers with their Movado Bold Watches.
