TV5 and PBA Partners Up with A2Z For More Basketball Action
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
This certainly was the fruit of the successful staging to the FIBA Basketball World Cup in the country, plus the win of Gilas Pilipinas in both SEA Games and Asian Games (remember that historic Gold?). Now Filipino sports fans will have choice where to watch their home grown professional basketball teams when games start.
This is after all the 48th year of PBA, and the goal is to bring the PBA Games to even MORE homes as possible. This ensures that not only will there be access to games at TV5, but more of the LIVE broadcast of PBA Games in this new free to air channel. After all, they're the Philippines premier basketball league. Zoe Broadcasting VP and GM Rene Gonzales notes of this exciting venture and took delight on the variety they could do with the programming which is now in their court. Having PBA as part of their lineup surely will open up a lot of possibilities for the channel and what they could do in the near future. It will all start on November 5th, and will be broadcasted every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday thereafter. They are also in the workds to do something for the PBA D League and 3x3 where the Philippines is strong.
Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the games on Cignal TV and Cignal Play. You now have options!

This afternoon was a powerful one as Smart took us on us on a ride on what it feels like if you've got The Power of Smart.
One thing to say is that they were really ecstatic by winning the Best Mobile Network Award they got from Ookla. This is the first time the company is giving an award like that and Smart is maknig history. This also happened after Smart got Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage in the first two quarters so they're also giving Filipinos some powerful treat.
Headlining their campaign the Power of Smart, are two industry heroines and actresses Anne Curtis and this generation's Darna Jane De Leon. Anne by the way has been a loyal Smart subscriber and ambassador for a little over 10 years now and Jane on the other hand is just starting big especially as ratings this evening with Darna was unbelievable! Both women are iconic and surely, showing us how to work on our dreams and achieving it. Jane is changing her life as we speak and she's quite happy to be part of the Smart family because she says "It empowers me to do what I want!".
Smart also showed how Filipinos are now enjoying 5G speeds in different
areas in the country to not only consume data, but create photos,
videos, content that could be enjoyed by family, friends, and the
public. Smart promises to work on faster speeds, so you their
subscribers would be able to accomplish more especially at these times.
I've been using my smart line for years now and it has accompanied me in
different places in the country. I see the immense improvement even on
the islands, imagine what you could do with videos, music, or games if
you can play anywhere without a hitch!
Congratulations to Smart, to Anne Curtis and Jane De Leon who's now making their powerful moves. Here's wishing everyone does too!

TV5 and ABSCBN Inks Major Deal
Friday, August 12, 2022
The proceeds of the purchase will be sent to fund TV5 operations, specifically content, their programming and also public service. This will certainly change both ABSCBN and TV5's ways of delivering content not just locally, but abroad where ABS-CBN already has a lot of experience in. This will also make TV5's capability to make content in entertainment, public affairs and even sports even greater in the coming years. The deal will be closed this August 2022.
MediaQuest Holdings Chairman Manny Pangilinan says "We at TV5 welcome ABSCBN for their investments. We all know ABSCBN has always been the leading provider of Filipino related content here and abroad. We have cherished values, synergies to provide top quality programs and hope this will continue to grow, succeed in the coming years."
ABSCBN Chairman Mark Lopez adds "This is an opportunity to help TV5 strengthen its broadcast capabilities and our work in content production and talent management will add not just for TV5's growth, but the ability to serve the public. We see the opportunity to help TV5 grow, to work with the best talent off cam and on cam. This partnership will evolve ABSCBN to become a storytelling company. "
You've seen ABSCBN shows increase on TV5 these previous months and surely, they will further enhance their relationships. Really, this makes me so happy!
Huawei's Got Green 5G
Tuesday, October 19, 2021
The problem currently is that there's small penetration of it in countries and they won't see its returns and value if it ain't utilized by a greater number of people. According to him, 5G drives rapid growth of mobile data traffic and at the rate that it is going now, energy consumption will be ten times higher if switching to it doesn't happen. They have a range of products that addresses this including iSolar power supplies. It will lessen dependencies on fossil fuel. He also mentioned that this has been utilized in over 100 countries, slowly inching their way to put green efforts in everything they do. Quite noble if it gets traction. It'll be nice to see things realized especially the green results they want to happen even before that year.

Monday, February 22, 2021
Looks like Smart Communications is making 5G more possible in the country by rolling out network projects left and right, plus having Korean superstars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin as their brand ambassadors too.
FVP Consumer Wireless of Smart Ms. Jane Basas says "This is another milestone in our country and we have featured Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin plus the music of Ben&Ben in our ad released during Valentines day. We also have Smart Signature, and the success of our Crash Landing on You stars Asian superstars campaign and our offers have been brought out. We owe this to our subscribers who love them and the trust of our customers propelled us to make this into a reality. We will do our best to serve you better, to put a smile on your face. When we started our campaign initially with Hyun Bin, people clamored for more and wanted Son Ye Jin in the commercials. We decided to have them both and renew them too, we might see them soon as they owe us a visit to the Philippines and perhaps a live online event, we'll have to fix that in the next few weeks. Our objective is simple, it is our way how much we love subscribers, to tell you honestly it wasn't easy. To bring both of them together is really a lot of hard work, plus most loved band Ben&Ben to make original music for this campaign, INEVITABLE is our love song to our customers, the kind of hard work we do, it's our best, our best postpaid plans and best 5G network."
Corporate Marketing and Strategy for Smart Lloys Manaloto says "We promise a superior network, now we are the fastest as measured by Ookla and Open signal. Now you can stream videos seamlessly, no lags with 5G. It gives us a new platform, fiber like speeds on mobile has changed the way we connect. World class digital services is now on our fingertips and all these is because Smart ako!"
VP for Postpaid Mark Dimagiba says "We are constantly partnering with phone manufacturers in order enjoy 5G and plans now include unlimited call and texts among other services. We want to make the impossible possible. iPhone, Samsung, Huawei and Vivo already have launched 5G phones. 5G is part of our tech platform, part of our network, we have the nationwidest LTE already, but now with 5G we will have fiber like speeds on your mobile so you can get exceptional speeds with the new technology."
Ben&Ben says "We didn't really force anything with the creative song, what Smart wanted to achieve was in line with what we wanted to pull off as a band. It was just like, we flowed in the same direction and it's a beautiful partnership. After talking with Smart and over the holidays, I thought of the song and it was inspired by personal experiences in the past few months. I shared it with the band over the holidays and we got back, it was just good in its rawest form. It just happened. It tells the story of two contrasting feelings, one of mystery, one of certainty, and the music we made for it just highlighted it, it was just inevitable. We're really excited because Hyun Bin was going to be part of it and Son Ye Jin, it was super kilig for us because we thought of the couple too when we made it. The message is no matter how hard things are now, the good things are bound to happen, whether it's love life, career, family, finances, you'll really attain it when you keep it real, it's inevitable."
Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin says in a video message "I'm very happy to see you in Smart's project, we have prepared something for you. Simple Smart ako!" then they showed us their bts for their latest commercial with Smart.
Now there's a lot to look forward to in the next few months, few years in fact. Aside from the Korean superstars, there will be lots of things to see in the 5G technology that they're rolling into the country. Wish I can get a plan with it soon!
