Mr Relokate Is Urging Toronto Residents To Be Wary Of Deceptive Moving Companies In The City

Jul 6, 2022

Etobicoke, Ontario -

July 06, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Mr Relokate, a company providing moving services in Toronto, has issued a statement urging the city’s residents to be discerning while hiring movers following a recent scandal in the local industry.

The Toronto moving services provider is drawing attention to a recent bust by the Toronto police which led to the owners of a group of moving companies being arrested. Cemal Ozturk and Dogan Celik oversaw several moving companies including O'Canada Movers, Roadway Moving and Storage Inc., SafeBound Moving and Storage Inc., Canadian Principal Movers, All You Can Move, Right on Track Moving, New Vision Moving, Greenway Moving, and 12282569 Canada Inc.

The accused would quote low prices at the outset of the job but then demand more money once the customer’s belongings were loaded onto their truck. This would put the customer in a precarious situation and they would be forced to pay the inflated prices. This modus operandi was exposed by an undercover operation carried out by CBC Marketplace, a prominent Canadian consumer watchdog. The accused would also frequently change the names of their companies to skirt the accruing bad reviews. Both were charged with four counts each of fraud, mischief, possession of property obtained by crime, and false pretense, as well as conspiracy to commit indictable offenses.

In its statement, the spokesperson for Mr Relokate Greater Toronto Movers talks about the scandal and the care that Toronto renters and homeowners should take when hiring a moving company by saying, “The recent arrests are a blight on the hardworking men and women providing honest and high-quality moving services in Toronto. We strongly condemn the price gouging tactics employed by the accused. Here at Mr Relokate, we use our years of experience to quote an estimate that we know we can confidently deliver. We can give you an accurate estimate depending on the number of items to be moved, the distance of the move, and the time that the moving job is going to take. Our estimation process is so fine-tuned that we can account for all the factors that can affect the cost and duration. Our astute and trained crew considers every detail no matter how minute it is - from parking access to the walking distance between your house and our trucks. The result is that our initial estimate is very close to what you will end up paying. We assure you that there will be no extra charges tacked on to give you a nasty surprise when the bill is due. We also want to appeal to customers to do their due diligence before hiring a moving company as you do end up entrusting them with your valuables. If you are looking for moving services in Toronto, also make sure to investigate a company’s work history and read its online reviews before hiring them.”

Mr Relokate is a family-owned moving company that has over 10 years of experience serving residential and commercial clients in the GTA. It is equipped with all the necessary tools such as boxes, shrink wraps, moving dollies, and blankets that it needs to ensure a safe and efficient move for its customers.

Lao says sorry for Asian Games mess

Lao says sorry for Asian Games mess

MANILA, Philippines — Despite barely warming his seat as president of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF), Frank Lao is taking full responsibility and accountability for the lack of financial support for the national athletes competing in the 20th Asian Games. In a statement on Monday, Lao issued a humble apology to the Alas Pilipinas men’s squad — particularly team captain Bryan Bagunas — following his revelations about the severe lack of federation backing heading into this prestigious continental showcase. Lao, a distinguished businessman and chairman of Strong Group Athletics, admitted that upon stepping into office last month, he inherited a depleted treasury burdened with roughly P25 million in liabilities and outstanding payables. Compounding the crisis, financial assistance from the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) remains frozen following the suspension and withdrawal of support by the International Volleyball Federation and the Philippine Olympic Committee last June — a fallout that effectively choked off the allowances of athletes preparing for the Asian Games. With that, Lao has begun digging into his own personal resources to settle federation debts, clear unpaid coaching salaries, and cover foreign travel expenses. In fact, before the Alas Pilipinas Men flew to Nagoya, he personally distributed P20,000 in pocket money to each player and shouldered the round-trip airfare for late addition Owa Retamar.    “As president of the PNVF, I take full accountability for what happened to the allowances of both Alas Pilipinas Men and Women squads as well as the beach volleyball teams,” said Lao, who stayed until the wee hours of Monday trying to figure out how to solve this financial crisis and stabilize the morale of the athletes competing in the Asian Games.  “After taking over the PNVF in the middle of August, we were left with nothing but more than P25 million in debt. We are now starting to pay all the coaches, settle travel trips, and clear other payables that the federation owes them.” The PNVF had been mired in toxic leadership disputes long before Lao secured the presidency during the August 10 special elections at the Solaire Theater Southlinks Boardroom.    Yet, rather than pointing fingers or making excuses, Lao is turning the page and calling on stakeholders to rally behind the athletes. “Ako na ang humihingi ng pasensya na nagkulang kami. Pero bigyan nyo kami ng pagkakataon na makabawi sa inyo,” Lao said, displaying a rare corporate humility in the face of an administrative mess created and left by his predecessors. “Just give me some time po. Sa akin ito bilang presidente ng PNVF. I take this responsibility. Sorry po.” TMT

Alas Pilipinas bows to China in 2026 Asian Games, misses quarterfinals

MANILA, Philippines — The embattled Alas Pilipinas men’s national volleyball team put up a spirited fight against World No. 34 China, but ultimately fell in four sets, 25-20, 25-21, 25-20, 25-21, in the preliminary round of the 2026 Asian Games on Monday at the Park Arena Komaki in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The loss drops World No. 115 Philippines to a 0-2 record in Pool D, eliminating them from quarterfinal contention as only the top two teams from each pool advance. While Alas held an edge in attacks—outscoring China 42 to 31—unforced errors proved costly for the Filipinos. The national team gave away 28 total points, including 10 service errors, compared to China's disciplined nine total errors and just three service faults. Lacking height and financial backing compared to their top-tier opponents, Alas was led by team captain Bryan Bagunas, who tallied 15 points on 12 attacks and three aces. Leo Ordiales added 11 markers, while middle blocker Peng Taguibolos chipped in nine. Playmaker Owa Retamar dished out 12 excellent sets, while Joshua Magalaman and Marck Espejo contributed six and five points, respectively. China mounted a balanced offense to secure the win, led by Zihua Wen’s team-high 10 points. Yongzhen Li and Bin Wang added eight points apiece, supported by Yuantai Yu (6), Lei Li (4), and Chuan Jiang (2). Alas Pilipinas, which placed 13th in the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, will seek its first victory of the tournament when it closes out pool play against World No. 55 Taiwan on Tuesday.

Wide-open ICTSI Iloilo Challenge set for thrilling finish

Wide-open ICTSI Iloilo Challenge set for thrilling finish

MANILA, Philippines – With two of the last three Philippine Golf Tour legs decided by one stroke and the other by two, the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge is shaping up for another tense and unpredictable finish when the P2.5-million championship gets going Tuesday (Sept. 29) at the Iloilo Golf and Country Club in Iloilo. And if the depth of the field is any indication, identifying a clear favorite could prove as difficult as winning the title itself. A different champion could emerge yet again, adding another layer of intrigue to the seventh leg of the 10-stage circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. The field brings together proven champions, seasoned campaigners and a crop of young contenders eager to disrupt the established order, making the outcome virtually impossible to call. The former Santa Barbara layout should provide a fitting stage for the battle, with hazards at every corner and a premium placed on precision and judgment from one hole to the next. At the par-70 course, where a single mistake can quickly erase a hard-earned advantage, one quality figures to be crucial throughout the four-day championship: course management. Each player, meanwhile, arrives with a different mission. Angelo Que is chasing a third victory of the season after ruling the Caliraya Springs and Summit Point legs. The veteran has already shown his ability to close out tournaments, but the depth of the Iloilo field leaves little room for complacency. “I’m just out here to have fun since, you know, I like this golf course. It’s a thinking course. At least nakapagpahinga ako nang kaunti. Nakauwi ako and then I rested before coming here, so hopefully I’m not as tired as I was last week,” said Que, the Summit Point leg winner who was still finding his form after a stint in Taiwan and finished tied for 12th in Negros Occidental last week. Art Arbole, on the other hand, returns with momentum and renewed belief after finally ending a 14-year wait for a championship. He led, stumbled and recovered to capture last week’s Negros Occidental Classic, holding off a host of veteran rivals before edging Jeffren Lumbo by one stroke. Zanieboy Gialon also has a special reason to feel confident on a course where he produced one of his most impressive victories. Two years ago, he turned what had been billed as a final-round shootout into a runaway six-shot triumph over Que and Ira Alido. After finishing fourth in Negros, Gialon now hopes to end a two-year winless stretch and reclaim the title at the country’s oldest golf course. Former Order of Merit winner Jhonnel Ababa, meanwhile, is seeking redemption after his late collapse in Negros. Ababa shared the first-round lead with Arbole, remained just one stroke behind after the next two rounds and then surged ahead early in the final round. But a costly backside meltdown, coupled with Arbole’s late charge, allowed the latter to regain control. Arbole eventually held his nerve to frustrate Lumbo, who was seeking a second career crown after outlasting Russell Bautista on the fifth extra hole in last year’s South Pacific Classic. But the list of players capable of breaking through does not end there. Clyde Mondilla, Tony Lascuña, Reymon Jaraula, Rupert Zaragosa, Jay Bayron and Guido van der Valk – all multi-titled campaigners still looking for their first victory of the season – add even more uncertainty to an already crowded title picture. “Medyo masikip talaga dito. Walang power advantage, at hindi talaga puwedeng atakihin ang greens. So, you have to play the position. Sa second shot, kailangan nasa harap ka lang palagi. Makapal din ang rough, kaya kailangan diretso ang palo mo off the tee,” said Mondilla. Asian Tour mainstay Justin Quiban also takes advantage of a break on the region’s premier circuit due to the Asian Games competitions in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. He further strengthens the field while seeking his second PGT victory of the year after winning the season-opening Lakewood Championship in come-from-behind fashion last March. Then there are the hungry contenders – Dino Villanueva, Elee Bisera and Nilo Salahog – along with young guns Gab Manotoc, Ryan Monsalve, Kristoffer Arevalo, Leandro Bagtas, Josh Jorge and Jonas Magcalayo, plus Fil-Ams Ivan Yabut and Jeremy Tandoy. Any one of them could alter the complexion of the championship with one strong round. A slew of foreign bidders further complicates the equation, led by Kim Tae Soo, Lee Song, Miki Ryoma, Jisung Cheon, Hyun Jin Youn and Kim Tae Won. With so many players possessing the game and experience to contend – and with the recent legs decided by razor-thin margins – the Iloilo Championship could once again come down to the final few holes, or even the final shot. The only certainty heading into Tuesday’s opening round is that there are plenty of players capable of winning. And that could make for four days of relentless jostling for position, with the leaderboard likely to change hands repeatedly before the next champion is finally crowned. TMT
