Globe Launches GFiber Prepaid: Because They Know, "Kaya Mo Yan!"

It's certainly a good day to actually see innovation right before our eyes. At the Globe Tower this morning, Globe Telecommunications Inc. announced the launch of a new product called GFiber Prepaid. It's the most affordable, accessible, fast and reliable internet connection from their group that can be availed with a prepaid line. You can order this through the Globe One app by downloading it off the Google Play store and choosing GFiber on the offers listed (costs Php 1499 upfront for the modem-router). To those who are still procrastinating of getting a second line like me, this is certainly perfect because the documents you need to present... are non existent, no actual tie ups with the service provider, as long as you do load it up without expiring in 6 months, then you're good.

They also have it in 30mbps with unlimited data and the thing you need to choose is the duration. For Php 299, you can get unlimited data for 7 days, for Php 649 you can do the same for 15 days, and for Php 999 (my personal choice) you get unlimited data for 30 days, which is very affordable if you compare it with mobile data or the usual postpaid lines from other providers. This was a well thought out execution of what to offer Filipinos because they really did think about the hindrances in getting internet connection in the country. With this, it's going to change a lot of things especially in homes, small offices and businesses around the country. 

They taught us how fiber optic connections work, think of it as light containing data that travels fast inside a fiber. They split it up for other users and efficiently does the job its supposed to do. They also showed some clips they use to terminate a line and connect as an injector to boxes outside and at home. Here's some scenes from this morning's event!

 

Globe CEO Ernest Cu says "We here at Globe support your digital lifestyle and we hope this democratizes access to fiber especially in this market. For studies, business, entertainment, all at home we prefer fiber. In this new reality, we strive to bring game changing products and having fiber at home is such a better choice in service. When we allowed GCash do financial services and democratized it through the app, we want to make sure people can afford the services and enjoy what we offer in Globe. Up to 60 percent of households still don't have internet connection, because most could not afford it. They don't want to be held in a contract, and people want that flexibility. This is our business, aimed to uplift Filipino lives. This is why making this accessible is important. People need wifi, data, have it installed and give commissions to agents. Removing this and offer at an attractive price point, we are introducing GFiber Prepaid!"

Thanks to Ms. Nicole Paler who got a shot of us during the event!

There was a part of the event where I was able to talk with the host Ms. Neri Naig about my experience using the Globe GFiber Prepaid line. Installation was fast, even if I rescheduled it because I had an event on the date that I initially decided on. They were even at my home early and asked my availability if it was okay to install it lunch time. I also got to talk about the speed because out of the several days I tested, it was constantly around 29-31 mbps, which they promised to be at 30, quite impressive. I may have just found my ideal backup line that doesn't break the bank and does work when I need it.

You may be thinking of getting a fiber line for your home, your small business, your TikTok family member, or online selling business, this works great, affordable and I can even play a few games when I'm not doing any work. Go try the new GFiber Prepaid today and take advantage of fast speeds it could give you without going over budget. Those kids learning at home actually need this most, so they don't suffer from the shortcomings of mobile data.

I'm still using mine, and you should try it out (they check if there are lines available in your area too!). Yes, kaya mo now!

New Player Radius Telecoms Unleashes RED Fiber for Business

The need for connection has never been proven especially during this pandemic. When offices and establishments closed, every store and business went the online route to get necessities and work done to and from home. MSME's now are back and maintaining that online channel means you have to maintain and sustain that line so your business could flourish. Though some ISP's try to make it better, it's still not enough because downtime still happens and we need something fast, dependable and secure especially for businesses in the country. This is where Radius Telecoms Inc. (RADIUS) is offering RED Fiber Business.

It's powered by their end to end fiber optic network that's also maintained and backed by 24/7 customer support and RED Firewall Bundle with Fortinet Security Box that protects you from malicious attacks that can disable your business too. Currently, RED Fiber has 90% reliability on service. Imagine the things you can do with uninterrtupted internet connection that's this fast, designed for businesses you do. They have plans with different speeds and different price points that also have Microsoft 365, add ons, Static IP and a domain. They also have Nokia Beacon 1.1 Wifi Mesh free with the 100Mbps plant til the end of this year.

RED Fiber is available in Metro Manila and several nearby cities and provinces. You may email them via customercare@redfiber.com if you're interested about getting them for your business.

LUIS MANZANO for Santé's Sweet Via

The Philippines sweetest host Luis Manzano just became the face for Sante's Sweet Via. For those who don't know, Santé has been known to manufacture products made from pure Barley grass and has diversified in supplements like Vitamin C, healthy beverage and snacks, bath and intimate care products, oral cleaning and skin care products. People have been raving about the quality of their goods and SWEET VIA is a welcome addition to the roster of their health products.

Luis has been in the industry since his Mom and Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos introduced him on her show decades ago. Shining in his own right, he's noted for his good work in hosting several game shows, entertainment programs and his amiable knack for comedy. His personality outshines stars of his generation, he's very likeable and is the perfect man for the job when you talk about health too. He works out almost everyday and keeps it a point to eat right especially these days when food is just a button away. He knows the value of keeping his body in check and balances it with fun and activity. Luis says "I've got a sweet tooth and it proved nearly impossible at times to enjoy things at home that are sweet and healthy. Now I prepare my own drinks and make desserts with Sweet Via. I also use this because it's all natural, and contains Stevia which is a natural sweetener and Inulin which is a soluble type of fiber. This boosts the immune system and also takes care of my digestive health as it's got probiotics too."

I loved how Luis also talked about his own experiences and shared details of his lifestyle during the event hosted by FTsukie Gomez  on Zoom a few days ago. His attitude towards health and how to make working out a fun experience was awesome as he shared little moments of his life with us online. He also taught us how he incorporates Sweet Via in drinks and food he consumes, to ultimately, make it part of his healthy lifestyle. He did a lot of small jokes in between, but never forget to inspire us, that's why Santé believes in Luis in the first place.

Sweet Via by Santé is available in leading drug stores, groceries, supermarkets, and online via Lazada and Shopee. I have personally used this for my coffee and tea. It has made me enjoy the things I have been loving even before I had diabetes. It's also a nice to know I could have food prepared with this in lieu of sugar which means I'd have options to go and have a healthier alternative than table sugar. It's also low in calories which makes it perfect for those who are maintaining their weight and watching their calorie count. It doesn't hurt to try something this good.

Solenn Heusaff Bolzico for C-Lium Fibre

Keeping her body in perfect form isn't really easy. Solenn Heussaff, mother of three (Thylane their daughter, Patato the Tortoise and including Nico, I kid!) knows what that she needs something to help with her digestive health. She says "I have Nico and Thy that supports my endeavors, and C-Lium Fibre to make sure my sugar and cholesterol are in check."

She takes this and mixes it with water, her drinks, and even on food. She also takes the one in capsule form before breakfast to make sure constipation won't happen in every meal. She also likes how it is available in different flavors like Dalandan, Pineapple and Mango so she doesn't get tired of what she drinks on a normal day. She partners this with exercise and activity as she puts health on her priority list. C-Lium Fibre is made from 100% natural psyllium fiber, which cleanses the digestive tract so you get cholesterol and excess fat out of your system.

It's available in leading drugstores, supermarkets, and online on Shopee and Lazada. Pascual Lab has their own official store in these platrforms where you can purchase and have them delivered to your doorstep. It's convenient and essential, I wish it would be normal to have it before our meals in the morning.  Like Solenn, we need to insert a healthy lifestyle in what we do everyday. Hopefully I'd be able to do the same. 

Congrats on being the face of C-Lium Fibre Solenn!

Something Good and Healthy with FiberHealth

Are you clean? I mean really clean? What if I told you you're not? Would you be offended? You see, lots of Filipinos still have an unhealthy diet and most if probably not, they also have not cleaned the insides of their body that much and it probably would cause constipation, irregular stints in the toilet and an unclean intestine. We can take fruits and vegetables but it really does only have a certain amount of fiber, this is where we can get help from FiberHealth manufactured by people from Spectrum Naturale.

Victor Lim CEO of FiberHealth says "My wife had pancreatic cancer and she only had 6 months to live. We wanted surgery but Jehova's can't do that. Necessity is the mother of innovation and FiberHealth was one of the things that made her cancer be reversed. Although she passed two years ago via an accident, we knew how it contributed to making her healthy. Centenarians lived longer by detoxifying their colon and liver, things that are not good for health should be avoided. You may not be absorbing the nutrients of the good food you are eating too, plus some still have some level of constipation nowadays (sluggish and chronic) done by lack of water intake, and due to synthetic antibiotics, growth hormones too. We have good and bad bacteria in our digestive system, stress and old age can also be a factor, some have gall bladder stones too. This is exactly why we need to have 25-40 grams of fiber intake a day and it is hard to attain it. You need to have two servings just to get there. Lack of fiber is going to cause bad bacteria, parasites, bad flora, toughening of the walls, even halitosis. You also get sick,  with heavy metals, you might even get cancer. This is how FiberHealth comes in. Other supplements have fiber, but doesn't have the ability of removing the mucoy plaque to clean it off. All it takes is 3 capsules in the morning, 3 capsules in the evening. You will feel full, so go through detox mode if you want to do that. You can also do slimming mode taking 5 before lunch, 5 before dinner. It is FDA approved, can be taken with maintenance medicine, complementary to what you are currently doing."

FiberHealth now also has it in juice form. It's for 1.2 liters per sachet which means it can be served in 4-5 glasses. It has fiber but doesn't have detoxifying properties and is safe for kids. It's in Guava and Guyabano flavors, so good when I tasted it at home. They use stevia so it's a bit safer to consume for those who are watching their weight and sugar levels.

The capsule costs Php 15.50 per piece, and is available in Mercury Drug branches nationwide. It can be taken by people 12 years old and above. It contains a LOT of good bacteria, and not really a drug but prevent things from happening. It's got components that they import internationally and is a trade secret. People have been enjoying this for 10 years. The juice costs Php 500 for 10 pieces per box.

Wouldn't you want a clean tummy? Exactly.

PLDT and Smart Communications Welcomes Kris Aquino

It looks like the Queen of all Media is now connected to the BIGGEST network. She's not only endorsing it, but she's walking the talk as she's using PLDT Home FIBR plan and Smart Communications LTE network in her business, at home and for her boys. Before she arrived, executives from PLDT told us about their milestones and talked about the current status of the network and took pride in confirming a few things especially the improvements they made in the past year. 

Alex Caeg, Head of Wireless Consumer Division for Smart says "We're happy that Open Signal has already released the report has increased it's edge of LTE Coverage nationwide. We have 60% advantage over our competitors and I think it's a big thing to enable our subscribers and educate them about this revolution to tell them about LTE. For us to bring Filipinos to the digital era, we need to upgrade them to a 4G device, to make sure their sim cards support it, in Smart, Sun Cellular and TNT, we have all these offers that people can now enjoy. This way, more people can enjoy it now. By next year, we would have 90% of our network supporting LTE. This will empower Filipinos and make everything accesible to them. iFlix, iWantTV, will now have 99 peso packages. We also are launching more Smartspots nationwide to enable communities get 100mbps capable connection, so they can feel the power of LTE at most food parks in the metro, and also in their homes if they are on our network. Our brand ambassadors will talk about it later especially on SUN and how they will move to 4G networks even for a minimal fee in these offerings. The journey has begun, it goes beyond the personalities in this room."

Marc Nelson hosted the event and I specifically heard him being invited to Kris Aquino's house so he could experience the unbelievable wifi connection they have at home. Ms. Kris laughs this off as an excuse to teach her how to swim, Marc says YES!

Speaking of people, we saw celebrities that evening which includes Jericho Rosales, Franco Laurel, Tweetie De Leon, Maxine Medina and Jennifer Hammond.

We also saw Camille Pratts, Isabel Oli and their kids who also endorses PLDT.

Spotted Vic Sotto with soon to be Mom Pauline Luna Sotto who endorses SUN Cellular.

Vic Sotto went to the center of the room and was a little quirky, he says "I'm glad and honored that I'm part of the SUN family because I play Candy Crush lol. I use data, and this relaunch means it's not just voice calls and texting, but means a LOT of people will be using data. I lurk in Instagram, even if I don't post, I see people. Congratulations to PLDT and Smart, again I'm glad to be part of the SUN family."

PLDT executives then explained "We started fiber in a few key cities and municipalities now, even far flung areas. The premier villages have it, this will enable the our consumers to have the digital lifestyle. We have condo units that don't have this yet but we're moving, and we have people experience FIBR and stay happy about it. In BGC, we have mostly all residential buildings now FIBR ready so if you live here, you're lucky! You should all be on PLDT Home tomorrow, also be connected with our streaming sites tonight. ROKU is also now available, so there's no reason why you're not enjoying our services. We want all our 2 Million homes to transfer from DSL to FIBR because there's a LOT to enjoy from this faster connection."

Ms. Kris Aquino then was introduced, she told us about how she maintains a smart home and utilize PLDT Home FIBR and LTE when she's mobile saying "Let's all admit it, traffic is terrible. I checked who is watching me and most of them are millenials and they watch me through phones. Connections have improved so much and they watch me through mobile these days and LTE doesn't buffer on me. I also love the roaming charges because it's 499 a day. The other network charges more, so you see why they got me? Haha. We need to be connected. Thank you to PLDT and Smart for making us all connected. You are the first company to invest in iFlix so I'm going there too. PLDT is an innovator, we have to give them that!"

Here are some snippets of Ms. Kris Aquino's appearance. This is her way of coming back to PLDT and Smart who has continued to believe in her and her brand.

Congratulations Ms. Kris Aquino, PLDT and Smart Communications! This surely will be fun!
