Wazzup Pilipinas!

Globe Telecom is continuing to invest aggressively in building on its capacities in a bid to future-proof its network amid continuing adoption of smartphone use among its customers.

“As more and more of our customers shift to a digital lifestyle, Globe is continuing to make data-driven capital investments to provide increased network capacities and enhance customer satisfaction. This will build capacities of our network to handle the explosive growth of data traffic of our customers,” Globe President & CEO Ernest Cu, noting robust customer uptake in the first half of the year as Globe continues to be the network of choice for smartphone users.

Globe capital expenditure in the first half of the year stood at P11.4 billion, bulk of which were allocated for data-related projects that include investments for the company’s broadband network, capacities for wireless data, LTE, domestic and international transmission facilities. A significant portion of the company’s capex for the year were also allotted for its IT infrastructure as Globe continues to create platform for new products as well as to build on its IT transmission initiatives, said Cu.

“These investments are intended to provide our customers with holistic digital experience. We expect growth in smartphone use to continue and that presents a very good opportunity for us moving forward. Globe has committed itself out to building on its capacities to ensure that the data requirement of our customers continues to be served,” said Cu, noting that more than a third of Globe mobile customers are using smartphones.

Lamudi Philippines Sponsors Special Transporter: Refueled Movie Screening

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Lamudi, together with MyProperty.ph and Metrobank, recently sponsored a special movie screening of Transporter: Refueled for members of the media, which includes of course yours truly, WazzupPilipinas.com.

We were treated first to a sumptuous dinner at TGIFridays before the actual movie at myCinema Greenbelt 3 in Makati city.

As expected, the two head honchos of Lamudi and myProperty.ph were there (Lamudi Philippines managing director Jacqueline van den Ende and Myproperty.ph General Manager Henry Winter) to greet us and share their very fascinating stories before the start of the movie. Apparently, the invitation brought in lots of interested media people as myCinema was fully packed that some had to sit along the stairs since seating capacity were limited to only 50 people. However, the cinema house is "intimately" designed, it was not really uncomfortable especially when nibbling popcorns and sipping soda while enjoying the new Transporter movie.

I took a video of the speeches to be able to capture everything they've said. Using the new Prestigio 5508 smartphone to record the video so I could test the video recording capability of the new phone that I currently have for review. I intentionally used the phone for photos and videos to review its performance in the dimly lit myCinema movie house. I still have my trusted Sony mirrorless camera with me but I refrained in using it so I can really try out what the smartphone can do. Was I impressed?
