Do you remembered this post I did a while back entitled "DTI Complaint Concerning Chowking Orange Chicken event prize"? Well, DTI responded within 15 days, as prescribed by law, thankfully. Now finally, Chowking, through Visions PR, delivered the phone prize yesterday. I received my Samsung Corby, which they upgraded to the Corby with WiFi, for all the troubles the past months, they said. I regret that it had to go through DTI for it to be settled, but I had to do something, right? Case closed. Thank you. :)

Hello, friends! As I've been waiting for 4 months for my Samsung Corby to arrive, I've been thinking: Is it time to finally file a complaint to DTI? I did talk to my Chowking/Visions PR contact person about my plans of filing a complaint but since she said that it wasn't necessary, I gave them time to deliver. Well, enough time I did give them so after 4 months, I have finally drafted my letter of complaint.
You probably know about the Orange Chicken event last March 18 wherein two lucky people were chosen as winners of the Samsung Corby prize. They only had one unit ready for the winners so they asked me to give my contact details so that they can contact me. They never contacted me. A month after, I took the initiative of sending a message to the concerned party through their Facebook page. Many promises after and 7 days away from the 4th monthsary of the Orange Chicken launch, I am still without a Samsung Corby.
Please read my letter of complaint addressed to DTI Secretary Gregory Domingo. I sent the complaint through their on-site complaint form but I'm not sure if it got through so I'm still searching for the e-mail address of the Sec. Domingo and other possible DTI contacts who can help me on this matter.
It's not just about me getting the phone but it's more on a food franchise giant and its partners delivering and keeping their promises to their consumers, us.
First exchange of communication after some time of not hearing from them:
Chowking launched its newest oh so delicious, oh so yummy, the OH!some OH!range Chicken at the Chowking Fort Bonifacio (Rizal Drive) with bloggers and cosplayers in attendance.
Literally, the whole Chowking was turned into the hottest dance club last night as Jericho Rosales, the new celebrity product endorser of the Chowking Orange Chicken, taught everyone the dance steps to the "Chicken Dance."
Hosting with Echo was Chef Rosebud Benitez, one of my celebrity chef idols who hosts QUICKFIRE at QTV, and Ginggay dela Merced.
I am sure you are wondering how this dance is done. So here is Jericho Rosales, more known as Echo in showbiz, teaching how to dance the Oh!some Ohrange Chicken Dance. Also, Chowking President Erwin Elechicon dances with Jericho Rosales in the next video.
In attendance was Alodia Gosiengfiao, famous internet icon and cosplayer; and other cosplayers like Megatron, War Machine and this cute little girl.
In line with this new campaign marks the 25th year of Chowking, one of the best Chinese fast food chain in the Philippines. It started in 1985 with its store at the Makati Commercial Center. Right now it has more than 400 branches not only in the Philippines but also in the US, UAE, Indonesia, and the Middle East.
The Orange Chicken costs Php 69 for the Rice Chow Meal with a generous portion of Orange Chicken and rice; Php 99 for the Lauriat, which includes crispy noodles, Chicharap and Buchi; and Php 125 for the Salo-Salo set ideal for sharing.
