JULY
FINISH STRONG IN 2011 | SFE TEAM
HANBURY SFE VOLUME 2
-
2 | P a g e
As we have just finished the first half of the year, allow me to take this opportunity since I didnt have a chance to see you all face-to-face for our midyear year engagement, to thank
everybody across our business unit for the extremely good first semester performance! This
has been possible because the passionate people of BU3 are working incredibly hard, doing a
great job of focusing on what needs to be done and are making significant progress.
My first message is: OUR PLAN IS WORKING!
Our first half performance clearly shows the plan we laid out to achieve our vision of
leadership and growth through Access, Portfolio Maximization and Expansion, and
Commercial Excellence, is coming together in a way we hoped it would.
Growth has come from both our key therapeutic areas, respiratory and CNS. All our regions
the three drivers of growth I mentioned are really working if we look at the results and
TRIPLE As MESSAGE
Access:
All our key access brands are
growing significantly in
volumes. Seretide with 20%
growth. Keppra and Lamictal
with 38% and 24%
respectively. And even Seroxat
after our price reduction last
year continues to grow by 27%.
Portfolio Expansion
and Maximization:
After revitalizing our Ventolin
portfolio, VN is now back to growth
from years of declining trend. VRC
is also growing significantly at 22%.
Requip, which we just launched
recently as part of our CNS
portfolio expansion, is now gaining
grounds and has grabbed 4% share
from its direct competitor Sifrol.
We also successfully launched
another Keppra line extension, an
oral solution, last May and were
getting positive feedback from our
customers.
Commercial
Excellence:
In the past 3 months, weve
seen huge improvement in
our call performances with
more than half of our team
achieving above 92% and
even a significant number
hitting above 95%. Weve also
been awarded a Marketing
Excellence recognition from
GSK APJEM on our CNS Access
Strategy.

Right now, as we stand today, we are in great shape. The evidences I shared with you would
tell us that the progress is there and our plan is indeed working.
So, lets continue to believe! Lets keep on working to repeat what we are doing well in order
for us to finish the year strong. And in finishing the year strong, what we cant do is relax. We
cant be complacent.
For 2nd semester, the pieces are in place. We need to stay focused and execute our plans well.
And this is my second key message!
For my third message, I just would like to remind everybody about the importance of being
resilient as we continue with our journey towards our vision of leadership and growth. We
have seen and experienced a lot of challenges this first semester. We surely could anticipate
that there will be more this second semester and in the future. We need to recognise that
change is here for good and we continue to work in tougher environment. It is not easy for
everybody to get up every morning feeling energised about what we are doing and what we
will be accomplishing. This is where personal resilience comes in. We need to take personal
ownership of how we manage our resilience and energy levels in order to feel energised all
the time. This is not just about being physically fit. It is also fundamentally keeping high
energy level as we continue to face challenges and constantly upgrade our skills. We should
stay focused and make intellectual and difficult decisions while at the same time remain fully
engaged not only at work but also in your personal and family life.
And now, while much remains to be done, it is clear that we are on track. We need to
recognise that for us to remain on track, we need to STAY FOCUSED and EXECUTE
WELL our plans as patients are waiting for our products. It is up to us to take the responsibility to DELIVER, to SERVE and to SAVE!
Thank you again for all your contributions! Dream Big and Finish Strong!

Kay Antonette Rolloque: Keeping the Passion Burning
Kay Antonette Rolloque is a simple, down-to-earth woman with a great
mission she instilled in herself. That is to
help the patients lead healthy and
quality lives, and she does so greatly.
The lessons Kay learned when she was
just starting out helped her to be who
she is right now a great example of
someone who clearly possess the BU3
Sprit.
I never thought that my accomplishment will be greatly
appreciated will be that big of a deal, said Kay. My goal now is to intensify my coverage to other IM
doctors to further promote Seretide in
the pharmacy.
She remembered one event in 2009 that
made her nearly give up. Her area back
then was in Pasig City General Hospital.
Kay did everything she can covered
pediatric interns, consultants, and
internal medicine doctors and even held
continuing medical education for them
to no avail.
-
6 | P a g e
I felt so helpless that time that I
decided to give the coverage to an
Invida counterpart, recalled Kay. I
focused on a pulmonologist, and after a
year that doctor requested from the
Therapeutics Committee that Seretide
be used and recommended for patients.
Luckily, I won the bid. From then on,
Kay further intensified the promotion of
Seretide among other doctors.
Regarding the I Am program, Kay said
that it helped her to always deliver (her
best) because I know that I am not only
helping myself to achieve (the) target,
but I am also helping asthmatics and
COPD patients improve their quality of
life.
I feel that Seretide will truly help more
patients because of its affordability and
efficacy, said Kay. And nothing beats the feeling of hearing patients share their stories on how Seretide helped them live and feel better about themselves, she added.
Kay recalled the number of patients
stories she heard from the doctors she
visits. One patient that was helped by
Seretide was a lady whose symptoms
were so severe that the she cannot go to
work anymore.
The doctor told me that the patient
testified that indeed Seretide has helped
her from the moment she took it, said
Kay. And now the patient can enjoy her
daily activities because she is not afraid
of having another asthma attack that
she could not handle.
-
7 | P a g e
Another patient who has experienced
what Seretide is capable of doing is a
young man who is an asthmatic since
birth. No matter how the patient wants
to engage in sports activities like
basketball, he cannot do so because he
fears having asthma attack. But when
the doctor prescribed Seretide, the
patient felt better. Little anecdotes like
these keep Kay motivated in her
everyday task of letting more doctors
know about what Seretide is all about.
I usually sell the benefits of Seretide by
painting a patient picture, by relating
the common problems of asthmatic
patient and giving Seretide as the
solution and highlighting the cost-
effectiveness of the brand compared to
the competitor, said Kay.
Her nomination was because Kay
believes that her DBM sees that she
gives the best in everything delegated
to her, and her advice to fellow MRs
Keep the passion burning! Try and try until you succeed.

Joseph Mercado: Let Your Passion Guide You
Because of the I AM Program, Joseph Mercado claims that it gave
him A sense of missionthat my job
is not only about delivering the
numbers, but I am an instrument
that will serve and help save people
with asthma and COPD who needs
quality and affordable medication.
This is why he is considered as one of
the top MRs who exhibited the BU3
Sprit. When he was just starting out
as an MR, life was then rocky for
Joseph. He needed all the help he
could get from his teammates,
especially when it comes to decision
making. Joseph recalled one incident
wherein he refused a request from a
doctor, thinking that it was the best.
Only then after discussions with his
teammates, Joseph realized that
there are certain situations that will
challenge you to be a better person
and a wise decision maker at that.
-
9 | P a g e
Another thing that motivates Joseph
to do his best is the patients and
stories that he encounters. He shared
that a certain pediatric pulmonologist
told him that Seretide was able to
help a young patient with difficult-to-
treat asthma. That doctor tried
everything and he even combined
every available asthma medicine in
the market, but nothing worked for
the patient until he prescribed the
child with Seretide 250 inhaler. Now,
the doctor is very happy to see the
child performing everyday activities
at school and play without
limitations, Joseph proudly shared.
For his fellow MRs, Joseph is
encouraging them all to tailor-fit the
call and relate brand features to
patients benefits. It also pays to
work hard to build partnership of
trust with our stakeholders by
striving to be brilliant on the basics
and be passionate in delivering
excellent customer service.Find
your passion, whatever it may be.
Become it, and let it become you,
and you will find great things that will
happen for you, to you, and because
of you, said Joseph.

Jen Belen: Being an MR is a Purpose in Life
If Jennifer Belen allowed challenges
to overcome her, then perhaps she
would not be one of the best MRs of
Seretide to date. While she claims to
be embarrassed about the situation,
Jennifer is glad to be one of the best
examples of someone who lives the
BU3 Spirit.
What I learned best from my job is
that it is not just about dressing up
well and asking for doctors
signatures. But more on how you
perform your tasks because you love
your job, said Jennifer. You should
live your mission as an MR and that is
to provide doctors with the
information that they need. Through
this, you help the patient transform
their lives as well.
-
11 | P a g e
Jennifer remembers her first few
months in training. She was then
assigned immediately in Cebu on her
own. With the help from her seniors,
she was able to gather up the
courage and motivate herself that
she is in the job to help patients by
informing doctors about good things
about the product that you have.
In being an MR, the most important
thing is you. It is vital that you start
within yourself and teach yourself to
love what you do, she shared.
Because if you love your job, no
challenge will win over you. rather
challenges will become better
opportunities for you to excel,
Jennifer added.
Jennifer commented at how the I AM
Program further motivated her to the
point that it gave her a sense of
purpose in whatever she is doing. She
learned that it is not about the job,
but how you perform your task with a
mission and purpose.
You have to accomplish things
beyond what you can do that is
what I learned from the I AM
Program. It gave me a feeling of
fulfilment in what I am doing, and at
how I am helping other people out,
she shared. Being a medrep is not
just about promoting the product to
generate income out of it.
-
12 | P a g e
You promote the product because
you know that it can change peoples
lives. The program gave me a new
meaning, a new sense of
responsibility, a new purpose in life
which is more meaningful.
Jennifer also shared how ecstatic she
feels whenever a patient approaches
and tells her how Seretide
significantly changed their lives and
improved their health. This happened
to her a lot of times whenever
patients will take notice that she is
the representative of
GlaxoSmithKline for Seretide.
Regarding her nomination as one of
the best MRs, she believed that she
had the right passion fitting for the
job. Jennifer thinks that her boss
noticed how she talked to doctors
during visits.
I show care for the patients and not
just about my product. When you
show to doctors that you care for
their patients, they will believe in
what you are doing in what your
product can do especially for those
who are in need of it, said Jennifer.
I do not believe that there should be
a style in promoting, all you need to
do is to just love your job and
everything else will fall into place. I
would not last for 14 years if I do not
believe in the company and in the
product I handle.
For my fellow MRs, I know that they
are already doing their best we are
all doing our best but what I can
share is that
you put more
heart in what
you are doing and
do not consider it
as a job, but as a
purpose.
This should keep us motivated.

PR ARTICLE: In the Most Difficult Times By: ANGELO FRANCIS NELO S. NORBERTE
I AM very sure that all of us have encountered so many storms in our lives.
Some of us might be experiencing it now,
some before and Im certain that we will be
encountering it again. There is one common
question that pops out every time we are
stricken by so many problems. Why are
these things happening and why me? The
sad part on this is that whenever we are at
this point of our lives, most of the time we
question the existence of God, and worst is
some even blame God or others for it. But
have we also asked ourselves are we
worthy of His graces and blessings.
We only seek of Him when
we need something and
when we are in pain, but
where were you when He
calls for you. I myself have also
been in a situation where life may not be
worth living anymore. The pieces of the
puzzle that Im
trying to put together to rebuild myself
seem all more difficult to find. It made me
guilty of the sin of blaming God and
doubting Him just like the others. Some of
you may be at this moment right now
wherein the turmoil seems insurmountable
but instead of complaining thank Him.
Allow me to share with you the story of Job.
I hope his story will give you the same
message God imparted to me the moment I
read it.
-
18 | P a g e
Job was an upright and righteous man. He
had seven sons and three daughters. He
glorifies God in everything. He is very
careful not to do evil. He is one of the
wealthiest in their time. Hes like the Henry
Sy or the Manny Pangilinan of our
generation. He owned seven thousand
sheep, three thousand camels, one
thousand cattle and five hundred donkeys
and many servants. In short He has
everything that life can offer. God was very
proud of this man that He even challenged
Satan to test the faith of Job.
Satan told God.Would Job worship you if
he got nothing out of it? You have always
protected Him and his family and
everything he owns. But suppose you take
away everything he has, he will curse you to
your face. Job 1:9-11. Then the God
allowed Satan to do his thing in the
condition that he wont lay his hands on
Job. So Satan did his thing took away
everything from Job in a blink of an eye. Job
lost all his wealth and his servants was
murdered. More tragic was all his sons and
daughters were killed. On hearing the news,
Job tore his robe, shaved his head and fell
on his face before God. Listen to this after
all the terrible things that have happened,
this he said.
I was born with nothing, and I will die with
nothing. The Lord gave and now He has
taken away. May His name be praised! Job
1:21
Wow! He even praised God for it but Satan
was not content and he attacked Jobs
body. He gave Job sores all over his body
from head to toe. Try to imagine all the
terrible things that has happened plus the
sickness. Any ordinary man given this I think
will regret he lived. His wife asked him why
you dont curse God for what He did to you.
This he said
You are talking nonsense! When God
sends us something good, we welcome it.
How can we complain when he sends us
trouble? Even in all this suffering Job said
nothing against God. Job 2:10
-
19 | P a g e
God didnt destroy personally Jobs life. God
allowed these things to happen for so many
great reasons. Job underwent this kind of
experience so that he may grow in strength,
wisdom and faith. His entire perspective on
God was transformed by his suffering. I
hope that we realize how lucky we are right
now. Have you imagined this things
happening to you? Our problems right now
at work, relationships, and family and
others is none compared to what Job has
gone through considering that he is a
righteous man compared to us. We must
get beyond the immature notion that God is
only interested in making us healthy,
wealthy and happy. God wants so much
more for us than that. He wants us to be
wise, mature, obedient and committed.
Whatever we are all going through right
now lets just hang on with His word.
We only have two choices in
life its either we walk in
fear or we walk in faith,
its up to us. We only have
very limited knowledge of
whats happening around us
compared to God. He is in
control of everything. Its just
like a puzzle, at first everything seems
unclear but sooner or later well see things
in their proper perspective in Gods own
perfect time.
If only we allow Gods plan to work for us.
Well be able to realize what it has been for
us all along. All we need to do is hold on to
His unwavering faith and love for us just like
what Job did. And as what God has
promised to every man who holds on to His
word even in the most difficult times. Like
how his story ended, ours will also end as a
story of joy and triumph. God blessed Job
more than what he has at the beginning.
God doubled his wealth and blessed him
again with daughters with beauty that no
women in other land posses and three
wonderful sons. Job lived up to 145 years
seeing the sons of his sons. He has lived his
life to the fullest.
Now let me share to you one of my favorite
quote.If only you have been to the
deepest valleys will you realize the beauty once God has put you on top of the mountain.
Lets all count our blessings as we walk in
faith. God bless us all!
