The case of the mystery 500-peso Washing Machine

If you live in Pasig City, you might have already seen this sign about a washing machine on sale for only P500.

Well if you're someone who have a household who can build a mountain out of cloths for only a week like me, you'll definitely want to get a hold of this special offer. The cheapest washing machine posted in Lazada.com.ph is at P4200. So that's about more than 500% discount if my Math is correct.

But is it really P500 per unit? Are there strings attached? Since things like this interest me, I made a sort of an investigation on this (actually I just took time to read what's written on the tarpaulin).

Yes, each Sharp Washing Machines will be sold for only P500 but for the first five (5) costumers only during the opening day of Uno Factory Outlet in Pasig City on December 5. Now let me define what "costumer" means. To avail of the promo, a costumer needs to buy a minimum of P2000 peso from their store. It's up to you what items as long you get the required amount in one receipt.

Now where is the store located? It's at the 2nd floor of Wellcome Grocery (Mercedez One), corner Mercedez Ave. and Market Ave., San Miguel, Pasig City.

An epic sale or fail? What do you think of the promo?
