Basula Produkto announces raffle winners

Basula Produkto held a raffle drawing Thursday for its Fourth of July promo, giving out prizes to those who sold recyclable products to the company. People who sold their scrap metals and other recyclables have their receipt as their raffle ticket.

The raffle, held at the Basula Produkto Recycling Facility in Tanapag, drew an estimated 20 people.

The first prize of $300 went to Tangonan Bernabe, with receipt number of EM-35537 issued on April 30, 2008.

The second prize of $200 went to Henedena Dela Cruz, with receipt number of EM-34634 issued on April 3, 2008.

The third prize of $100 went to Kimberly Indalecio, with receipt number of EM-34407 issued on March 28, 2008.

Franklin Reyes, with receipt number EM-35484 issued on April 29, 2008, got the fourth prize of $50, while the fifth prize of $25 went to Luis Ogo, with ticket number EM-37309 issued on June 21, 2008.

Off all the winners, only Reyes has already claimed his prize.

Basula Produkto president Eric A. Cruz, who was present at Thursday’s event, said the raffle covered those who sold recyclable items to Basula Produkto since Jan. 6, 2008. Tom Nielsen is the company’s vice president.

“It was good that not a lot of people came because it was raining. Some were also watching the baseball league, but it was OK, just as long as the winners have their tickets,” said Cleto Samonte, Basula Produkto manager.

Basula Produkto is operated by Maeda/Errico Joint Venture. They buy aluminum, cardboard, metals and plastics for recycling.

This is the second time for the company to have a raffle. The first was on Jan. 5 this year, when they had a holiday special promo.
