Mechanics for “Pakyaw Daily Draw”
From January 10, 2011 to January 31, 2010, Pakyaw will implement a
subscriber acquisition and referral activity through the use of a raffle program.
The initiative will be dubbed as the “Pakyaw Daily Draw (PDD)” program.
The PDD program and referral reward system is open to any Philippine resident,
18 years old and up, and who possess a valid email address. Members of the
Pakyaw Core Group and their family members up to the 2nd level of
consanguinity are free to register but will be disqualified from joining the raffle.
For people to join the PDD program, an individual would have to become a
Pakyaw subscriber by signing up through the Pakyaw website.
The registration / sign-up process to Pakyaw are as follows:
1. Access www.pakyaw.com.ph
2. Click on the “SIGN UP NOW and ENTER the PAKYAW DAILY DRAW”
button
3. Input FIRST NAME
4. Input MIDDLE NAME
5. Input LAST NAME
6. Input BIRTHDATE
7. Choose GENDER (by clicking button)
8. Input USERNAME
9. Input your PASSWORD
10.Re-confirm PASSWORD
11. Input EMAIL ADDRESS
Before the user can complete the registration process, he or she has to
acknowledge that they agree to the PDD Terms and Conditions by clicking on the
assigned tick box. Once the user signifies their agreement to the PDD terms and
conditions, they can click the “JOIN THE PAK NOW” button to complete the
registration process.
After completing the initial sign-up process, the individual will be given a
message to wait for an email from Pakyaw that will serve as registration
verification and the final step in the sign-up process.
The email should contain a welcome note from Pakyaw and should show
instructions on what to do in order to complete the sign-up verification process.
After executing the final verification step, the subscriber will be sent another
email with the mechanics of the raffle program, the line-up of prizes that can be
won from the raffle and a raffle entry for the Pakyaw Daily Draw that will start
on January 11, 2011.
A verified subscriber will be awarded one (1) raffle entry after sign-up.
Total raffle entries earned by a subscriber will be accessible through the Pakyaw

Subscriber Referral System
From January 10 to January 30, 2011, Pakyaw will be complementing the
Subscriber Acquisition plan by a Referral Program that is aimed to give both the
Referring and Referred Party rewards in the form of additional raffle entries to the
PDD. Referrals can only be submitted through the Pakyaw registration site
(clickable link) only after the referring party has completed their own registration
process for Pakyaw.
Valid referral entries are defined as:
1. Non-Members of the Pakyaw Core Group and their family members up to
the 2nd level of consanguinity and affinity.
2. Email Addresses that are duly encoded by the Referring Party into the
Pakyaw website referrals page. The email addresses of referred
individuals will be processed by Pakyaw to determine their validity in terms
of authenticity and non-membership in the Pakyaw subscriber database.
Invalid referral entries are defined as:
1. Referred individuals who were earlier referred by other parties. All
referrals are subject for verification vs. existing subscribers in the
Pakyaw database acquired from other parties of subscriber acquisition
channels or programs.
2. Referred individuals who did not complete the email verification
process within the given referral period (i.e. January 10 to 30, 2011).
3. Members of the Pakyaw Core Group and their family members up to
the 2nd level of consanguinity and affinity.
For each valid referral submitted to Pakyaw, the referring party will be eligible to
receive a raffle entry. A raffle entry will only be awarded if and when the owner
of the email address referred to Pakyaw completes the verification process by
replying to an email sent by Pakyaw.
· Referrer will get 1 Raffle Entry for every valid subscriber referred.
The referrer will not be eligible for another raffle entry if the subscriber that
they referred provides their own referral.
· Awarding of raffle entries for referrals will be given until 11:59pm,
January 30, 2011.
