Wazzup Pilipinas!

Yahoo Philippines celebrates 5 years of being in the Philippines by showing that they know how to appreciate the people who have helped them spread the word and who else would that be but the media of course.

Last night, Yahoo Philippines had an event called the High Five Yahoo: An Appreciation Night. High Five because they are already 5 years old in the Philippines and it definitely deserved a high five because in such a short time, they have been able to achieve so much.

High Five Yahoo: An Appreciation Night had games and a lot of freebies given away last night. They also held a Rockeoke were people from the media were asked to sing an entire song with a live band. The feeling was surreal. It was awesome.

Globe to Work Closely with NTC on Fair Use Policy Implementation

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!
