The culture of corruption at Megaworld (Part 1)

When corruption afflicts even the most successful of private corporations, consumers cannot expect to have good service, nor good products. And this is the case of Megaworld Corporation. Their corporate culture has been one of sweeping problems under the rug, then wait for it all to go away.

Megaworld is beset with so many court cases, mostly from customers who have not been given their due. So when the Alcantara family whose ceiling had almost fallen over their heads sued Megaworld, they merely responded with the reason it was no longer their responsibility but that of the home owner’s association.

Megaworld’s Harold Geronimo has been trying to fight the fires of damage control with overwhelmingly big-ass newspaper ads. 

A source in the newspaper that prints their ads tells us that Mr. Geronimo has been getting 20% commission on the newspaper ads of Megaworld. Such corruption in a private corporation tells so much about their culture. Megaworld is a culture of people who want to make a fast buck but has no real dedication to their customers.

What are we in Mega-power for?

It is without a doubt that Megaworld is one of the country’s largest property developers but we are also one of the most powerful. There have been so many complaints about weak materials, bad customer service, falling roofs over the heads of residents, and sadly many of them are true. We have lawsuits that complain of our weak structures and, of course we dodge these ever so easily! Because we can afford the best lawyers that money can buy. And in fairness, everyone and everything ALWAYS HAVE A PRICE. Depends na lang on how you chorva your way to the top.

There are bloggers and netizens who share pictures such as the one below:

This was taken by a netizen walking the streets of Eastwood in the aftermath of Typhoon Glenda. It was uploaded in a popular website called http://www.wheninmanila.com   But, if you go to the original URL where this and other pictures were first posted, WALEY NA! It is now replaced by a blog post known as 10 Photos that show the aftermath of Typhoon Glenda in Metro Manila.  The original article was called “Banned photography…” kemerlou! And true it was what the original article said. Imbyerna si guard when the netizen was taking pictures! Because we don’t like you seeing us with out panties down. 

So what did we do? Mega-contact ako with KC Canlas, one of the writers of When In Manila. I met with her, pinakain ko (because that’s what all those bloggers want anyway, free fudang and it’s the end of their “advocacy”), binigyan ko ng GC and presto! May new article na pointing to ugly SM Aura and Ayala Malls. 

Totoo namang lahat ng malls binagyo ah! 

So to end all this online brouhaha, we have hired the best of the best blogger in town to combat all these small, noisy patay gutom bloggers. Yes malaki ang presyo nya parang singlaki ng kaha nya (I heard hindi lang kaha ang malaki sa kanya.). But he’s so worth it! He already has had a taste of ehem, our Mega-things to cum, este come. Hindi sya patay gutom kasi sosyalero sya at medyo angat sya sa ibang mga bloggers na gaya gaya lang sa kanya. He is the epitome of blogging. Oh how I want to worship him! I’m so happy he’s mine, este ours at Mega now, hahahhahahaha. 

So to the multitude of you who nothing better to do than complain, this is what I have to say:

See you in court.
