Sometimes we feel attracted to PROMOS” on-line and asking our personal information in exchange of an iPhone stating of winning the grand prize. Shockeeee! Right? But, what might be the exchange of our action if we will grab the chance? Sabi nga nila, SAYANG ANG PAGKAKATAON BAKA WALA NG SECOND CHANCE”. Think before you act.
