Answers to Questions: 

1. Question: What is the MCV Foundation all about?
   Answer: The MCV Foundation is a non-stock, non-profit and non-government organization. It is not engaged in business but in humanitarian and welfare works. It has objectives, mission and vision for humanitarian purposes as per SEC’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. Its existence and implementation of its projects/objectives are dependent on solicitations, contributions or voluntary donations from its donors, be it individual, corporation or any group. The Foundation does not sell anything or ask investors to invest but will help lift millions of impoverished people from poverty, create millions of jobs or create income-generating activities, protect and preserve the environment by initiating the planting of millions of trees, help the government in its program for good governance, help in reducing the commission of crimes, rescue the indigents from poor health condition, from illiteracy, from pitiful social condition, and low self-esteem by asking and encouraging valued donors to share love, show social concern, help the poor and needy by voluntarily donating to the DCV Program of the Foundation. The Foundation will help the poor realize their role in lifting themselves from poverty and realize their dreams to a happy life by giving free seminars on financial education, values, social and ethics as well as on life management education and leadership training. All of these are doable and can be realized thru participation to the DCV Poverty Alleviation Program of the Foundation. Back to Questions
    

2. Question: What is the DCV Poverty Alleviation Program? Is this similar to business networking?
   Answer: The DCV Poverty Alleviation Program of the Foundation is a unique program, copyrighted and open to everybody. It is non-sectarian, non-partisan, global in scope and there is no age limit. Although it has similarity to business companies engaged in business networking, as regards to some of its mechanics, the DCV Program is actually a different one in many aspects distancing itself from the stigma generated by some business companies who have in one way or the other engaged in illegal networking, pyramiding scams and other investment scams victimizing innocent investors, small or big ones. One big difference is, that it is not engaged in any business and investment activities. Back to Questions
    

3. Question: How does the DCV Poverty Alleviation Program of the Foundation compare with business networking, is it legal or not?
   Answer: Please click here to see a Comparative Chart. Back to Questions
    

4. Question: How do you determine if a business company is engaged in illegal business networking?
   Answer: Business Companies which are engaged in networking/pyramiding as regulated by SEC/DTI are classified as illegal networking or in pyramiding scams if they fall in any of the following:

1. Sell their products or services overpriced as compared to the prevailing market price and the overprice is incorporated in the amount to be paid in joining the networking companies. Depending on the structure, the buyer/investor will be required to recruit several buyers/investors who would repeat or duplicate the process in order to earn and recover their invested money. In the end, the succeeding or last recruits will turn out to be the victims of the pyramiding scheme as they can no longer recruit anybody due to the high cost of joining or the market is already saturated, thus, the network will collapse.
    

2. Collect contributions, joining fee, membership fee without selling products or services. This is an investment for a future discount, privilege or imaginary services as the price is incorporated in the networking and duplication method. As the privilege will mature at a certain given period of usage, the member may not avail of it or will not derive anything of value from the imaginary services, then he lost from the activity.
    

3. They require money to be invested in their company for a promised double-your-money scheme for a certain period or offer investors a “too good to be true” kind of investment with a very high interest rate. At first, the investor will get the interest so he will be convinced to add some more investment with the lure of getting more ROI. But the truth is that the investor will only receive the interest once or twice and that the investor is being paid the interest from others’ invested money which is subsequently pooled. When much money from investors are pooled, the interest and even the principal can not be recovered as the covering checks begin to bounce and the owners of the investment company are nowhere to be found more so that the company will be found not to have the license to operate as an investment company. Then the scam has been consummated. Back to Questions
