#King of Comedy PH

Google adds another Filipino-related Doodle to its gallery, commemorating the Philippines' King of Comedy Dolphy. He became a household name after playing the impoverished yet hardworking father and husband John Puruntong on the said sitcom. My last entry about CDR-King sparked a heated debate among readers. CDR-King started out selling blank CDs -- where other stores were selling branded CDs between Php25 to Php100 a piece, CDR-King was able to sell un-branded ones to just Php5 to Php8 a pop. Due to its success in that front, CDR-King expanded its inventory to many other products -- flash storage, networking devices, memory modules, electrical accessories, digital cameras, TVs, tablets, laptops and many more. A friend, who's into the import/trading business, tells me CDR-King has a 6% warranty provision with their suppliers from China. So, when CDR-King went on and started selling "cheap" laptops, people became more wary about the unit and dismissed it as inferior. Then again, there are the thousands of customers who have had not-so-good experiences with their past purchases in one of CDR-King's outlets.
