Lucky lady nurse gets her 
once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree 


TWENTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD Wendy Briones of Muntinlupa was just going about her groceries; buying her regular supply of Sunsilk sachets. Little did she know that she was about to have the shopping spree of her life! “Who would have thought that Sunsilk would choose that particular supermarket I was in? I was really shocked!”

Wendy, a staff nurse in the Intensive Care Unit of the Ospital ng Muntinlupa is a loyal Sunsilk user, claiming that she loves the soft touch variant of the brand. “I’ve been using Sunsilk even before the promo came out; I just really liked using it.”

Wendy was given the chance to shop at Glorietta and Greenbelt where she was treated like a VIP. Together with her parents, Stanley and Amelita, and younger sister Genelyn, they searched the entire mall to find the best buys to spend their shopping money worth P500,000 on. Choosing appliances from Abenson and items at Ace Hardware, Wendy was surely getting what she has been dreaming of, a new home.

When asked about the things she would like to buy, “My priority is materials for the building of our house. I want to give my parents their dream house. As for myself, I want a computer so I can do my reports and work at home. That’s all she wants! I also want to buy my brother Anthony a cell phone and my youngest sister Angelica who’s only 7 years old, some materials for school. As the eldest of four, I really do want to give my family and siblings the things they want.”

With the 500,000 shopping spree, Wendy still wants the simple joy of being able to give to those whom she cares for.

“What I really want right now is to be able to build a home for my family. I also want to give appliances to the hospital. I know how badly it needs some things that it lacks at the moment.”

For Wendy, the whole shopping spree is a way to give something back to those who deserve it and being able to fulfill a dream of having a new home.
