What Would It Be Like Living in MARS?

I was one of the few peeps who got to see MARS this afternoon in an arranged advanced screening brought to us by the good people of FOX Network Philippines, FOX Network Group and National Geographic Channel. It also premiered in the Philippines last Novemner 13, 2016 and in this show, they'll interview the best and the brightest minds in modern science including Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX. 

They know people were not just talking about the planet, so in this series they will put in a spin where some pioneers will finally go on a manned mission to MARS. They want you to feel how it is to merge science and science fiction so you know if it is possible to colonize the red planet. The series is made by Academy Award and Emmy Winning producers Ron Howard, Michael Rosenberg (both of Imagine Entertainment), Justin Wilkes and Dave O'Connor (of Radical Media). They've done the Angels and Demons series if you still remember that. 

"This is a series that people would like to pay attention as they combine two things, FOX for the science fiction and National Geographic for the real science. People will be impressed in the story, as parts of it will be shown with facts. We joke around, but we think we really should really consider and seek beyond what we don't know. We sailed oceans, we conquered the skies, and MARS is just there, while we can push further." says Jude Turcuato VP for Fox Network Group Philippines.

The story was good, they switched back and forth to 2016 and 2033 where they plan to actually implement it. With people's lives at stake, and the dream to actually get to live there. They will do very dangerous things to acheive this, and you can watch it in 6 one hour episodes premiering tomorrow Thursday at 9PM on National Geographic Channel. You may read about the series at mars.natgeotv.com and www.makemarshome.com.

We better get ready to leave this place and see if we really could survive out there. I heard EDSA by that time will be just a park and people would only need to walk because nothing is moving LOL.

It looks like you're going to be having fun this week as the country's biggest network will make you enjoy watching those favorite movies, super cool TV shows and stream the most awesome music on your prepaid lines as they bring BIGBytes50. Yes, for just 50 pesos you can enjoy 3 days of surfing at 350 MB.

Aside from the cost, having iFlix on my phone means I don't have any wasted time. I don't watch films that much in movie houses because of my busy lifestyle and the app saves me hundreds of pesos for movie passes and even more if you count the super salty butter popcorn and soda. Sometimes, I whip up microwave popcorn at home and prepare iced tea if I need a break from all my tasks. It saves me money, it also saves me the pain of going to and from the mall. I'm not even talking about the monstrous traffic so just imagine the convenience of spending 99 bucks for a whole month, all that since I'm a Smart subscriber. Add to that the recent addition of MGM as investor to iFlix, Fox on the Viewstream App and listening to Spinnr all day, if you do all these, you'll definitely make Taylor Swift proud!

 There are countless reasons why you should take Big Bytes 50 for spin when your current subscription expires on prepaid. The choices, the free stuff and convenience on how you live the Smart Life is just something you can't get anywhere else in the country. Now, you can take Entertainment Everywhere because you'll feel loved by the country's biggest network that dishes out these awesome offers.

Smart’s Data Explosion in 2015

Smart has definitely paved ways for Filipinos to enjoy their mobile services. With the recent promos including Free Data use, iFlix and Fox, Pinoys have been exposed and continue to love living the #SmartLife. All along, they want you to use your non connected smartphones. As they mentioned during the launch of Free Internet in the past, a lot of people have these smartphones but don't actually use Internet connection or data on it. Makes sense right?

EVP and Head of Consumer Business at Smart Ariel P. Fermin  says "This ‘data explosion’ actually all started when we introduced our ground breaking ‘FREE Internet’ promo last year. This offer aimed to give our subscribers an opportunity to try out various Internet and digital services, most of them haven't even done so in years. We see this continue this 2015 and we'll get more engaging content and digital services coupled with very affordable data service bundles so you can get the #SmartLife we've been talking about."

Let's talk numbers:

There's a 170% increase of mobile data traffic that passes through Smart’s mobile network. That is just for the first half of the year.

PLDT also announced about 21%, that's equal to P4.7 billion of revenue in their mobile subsidiaries during the first six months of 2015.

 To also become their preferred digital services provider, they got $100 Million as capital expenditure to acquire and co-develop more services to serve the needs of digital consumers like you. 

iFlix is the fastest growing Internet streaming service in Southeast Asia. It's got a 150,000 subscribers in less than three months which includes me. PLDT invested $15 million in iflix to capture this digital market. I've been watching Attack of the Titans on Anime by the way and it's super nice! Add to that FOX International Channels for live TV streaming and soon their own library so you can catch up on those zombie series you love!

Smartphone penetration in Smart and Sun networks stands at 35% and they see this also growing in the next few quarters. Isn't that just good news?

Now, they're designing more prepaid and postpaid offers that would fit your lifestyle. Choose better, choose to live a Smart Life!
