Globe underwent a massive network modernization program two years ago in order to increase capacity and improve network performance. “We now have the most improved network in the country designed for the modern digital lifestyle of Filipinos,“ says Atty. Froilan Castelo, General Legal Counsel of Globe Telecom. 

“We recognize that our customers have varying needs of data usage. Consumer demand for data is steadily growing brought about by changing lifestyles and the influx of smartphones. It is only safe to assume that a consumer’s data use will increase as they start enjoying the various platforms on digital and social media. This is the reason why we invested millions of dollars to modernize our network, built international submarine cable systems, and created customizable product offers to give our customers a superior data experience,” adds Castelo.

Globe first implemented its fair use policy in 2010 covering prepaid calls, texts and data promos. The company enforced the policy for postpaid data plans only last month. Even in the past until today, fair use only affects a small number of subscribers. This is necessary to protect the network against abuse, examples of which come in the form of unli promos meant for consumers but are used for business, text spamming using prepaid unli promos.

Get the Chance to Watch Ken Block Gymkhana with Ellen Adarna

 Wazzup Pilipinas!

Every men become somewhat like a monster at the sight a pretty woman (drooling and eye-popping experience plus a tingling feeling deep within), especially when its as alluring and provocative as Ellen Adarna - men's magazine's favorite cover model and a rather controversial celebrity right now because of her admitted friendship with turning underdog Cedric Lee form the Vhong Navarro and Deniece Cornejo rape, or extortion, case - whatever it was only the three lead characters would know the truth.

That's probably why a media member at the Monster Energy Drink Ken Block's Japan Experience launch held at the Makati Shangri-La hotel couldn't help but try to associate Monster with Cedric Lee thinking she can get away with it. Unfortunately, no answer was given to her out-of-place question (After the warning that all questions should be related to the product and the promo).

Other than introducing Ellen Adarna as Monster Energy drink's brand ambassador, it was also the launch of their promotional event namely Ken Block's Japan Experience where 3 lucky pairs get a chance to join Ellen Adarna to go watch Ken Block Gymkhana in July 2014!

Noted fashion columnist, editor and International Best Dressed List hall of Fame awardee Diana Vreeland worked for fashion magazines Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and as a special consultant at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was a major force in shaping culture, style, taste and even language for all time.

Our favorite antagonist and the most sophisticated "kontrabida" of Philippine cinema who made life miserable for Sharon Cuneta during the old days at the very memorable role at "Bituing Walang Ningning" along with her famous line "You're nothing a but a second-rate, trying hard copy-cat!" will play Diana Vreeland in Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton's Full Gallop - a play that focus on the life of the fashion doyenne who stood at the center of American style for five decades. The play is a portrait of this remarkable woman at a turning point in her life.

At a presscon held at Salon De Ning located at the Manila Peninsula hotel, Cherie Gil shared with us her excitement in playing the role of Diana Vreeland. She was joined by Director Bart Guingona, fashion designer Rajo Laurel, celebrity Giselle Toengi and make-up and hairstylist Ruben Nazareth.
