Smart Launches BIGGEST Data Offer Ever: The Smart Giga Surf 50!

These days, I have been very busy thinking about how much videos I have been uploading on Youtube and it has taken a toll on the data allowance that I have on my line from SMART. From press conferences, to food reviews, to hotel tours, I've done that on Youtube and other websites because I need to show you how it is in the real world. Now I thought I was going to have a problem with that but good news come very fast. Did you know about Smart's biggest data offer launched recently?

Now lookie here! It's not April 1st and you're NOT staring at a big joke. It's true! It's BIGGER, it's BETTER than ever! Smart gives you GIGA SURF 50! It's 1 GB of data for only 50 Philippine Pesos, but the thing is, you'll still get additional 300 MB for Youtube, iFlix and a whole lot more services on your data allowance. That's a whole gigabyte and more so you're definitely getting your money's worth and getting free data for your video services not counted against your data because we all know big that is on a normal day. To get it, just go on and text the keyword GIGA50 to 9999. Now that you're all getting the hang of it, you will have more data for those school projects, Facebook posts, Twitter updates and just about anything you would want to do on the world wide web!

If you're with your friends or family and they suddenly lost internet connection, you can be the hero by getting them needed data via a new data allowance transfer service by texting the word PASADATA MB then send it to 808. 

They also have released the Php 1,288 Prepaid Smartphone kit which you can get in Smart Wireless Centers and authorized dealers nationwide. Smart is also building more facilities to take advantage of that recent frequency acquisition they got from SMC, taking your data rates and speed into different levels, one that I've witnessed even at the confines of my own home. I wasn't getting that much signal here because there are tons of walls and furniture around here but since they started implementing changes in frequency settings and whatever thingamajig towers lately, I do considerably see a whole lotta difference when I connect now. Now it's more faster, can reach really difficult places, and can get me the necessary upload rates I need to get your videos uploaded in a few minutes, done on the same day!

If you check out my blog lately, I've been uploading more videos, photos, and stories on the same day of the event, now that's how you live a smart life eh!??

The SMART BROkada in Pampanga!

I love it when I go out of town, especially on this occasion when I get to tag along with stars like volleybelle phenom Michelle Gumabao, real deal Beauty Queen Bea Rose Santiago and Singer cum great Actor Michael Pangilinan. On this day, we were tasked to roam around the streets of food haven Pampanga plus visit their malls for some small meet and greet sessions. I woke up early for this and this trip was awesome!

We went to eat at local restaurants first and I had my fix of Palabok and Coke. I was already in a food coma before we even began doing the motorcade so I was a bit quiet because I couldn't move. I was so busog, I couldn't talk as much because I might end up barfing while I talk (sorry too graphic!). I was really that full grabe!

We went to small malls, then to Robinson Star Mills in San Fernando, then to a skate park in Angeles City. I think it was also a technology hub so there were a lot of BPO corporations in one place.

This particular truck housed our noise makers, the caravan started in the afternoon and it was hot and humid. Michelle, Bea Rose and Michael were all game though despite of that because we're bringing BIG news to the people of Pampanga!

I had my lovely social media family with me all throughout the trip! My fellow bloggers Richard, Flow and Jude. If you follow the Smart and UAAP Viber room of SMART, the ones in it are right beside me on this photo. They made our trip so special!

Ms. Bea Rose Santiago was so nice in person, first time to meet her. I like how she talks to us like regular people. She's even funny at times during the mall tour. She did wave and say hi to a lot of people, obliged selfies and photo opportunities while telling them about Smart BRO's Php 888 4G Pocket Wifi.

She also didn't get tired of smiling, I could imagine it to hurt a little but I guess she's been trained well in her beauty queen stint. We also had fun in Snapchat, as she's so fun to be with. Thank you Ms. Bea Rose Santiago!

They had to go around Angeles City in the heat of the sun but Michelle Gumabao and Michael Pangilinan all kept it cool. They also stopped and posed for fans, also took some shots inside the malls where throngs of people went and said hi during the meet and greet.

Michelle really uses the Smart Bro 4G Pocket Wifi and even attests to it's reliability on some locations that other networks couldn't cover. We had lunch with these two and I couldn't help but butt in their conversations in between meals. Michael even posed with the bakers inside the restaurant we were in. They were really generous in letting the public get hold of them while telling them how Smart Bro 888 Pocket Wifi is going to help those that need Internet connection at an affordable rate.

Here's a little video of our trip!

Pocket Wifi's are really expensive these days and getting a landline, modem, router just wouldn't cut it in several areas in the country. It's a good thing that SMART let's us know of these 888 priced devices that we can use to get our phones, tables, laptops and other gadgets online. Gaming, online browsing, sending emails, uploading photos, they're all going to be good with the pocket wifi from Smart BRO! They also sponsored a little program on the skate park so competitors would be able to win pocket wifi units, load and even the chance to meet the three celebrities we were with earlier. They're a bunch of warm, welcoming people and this opportunity to spend a day with the People of Pampanga was just awesome! I can't wait to go with them in other places! I'm sure they've got plans to do that and spread the good news right!?

PS. Thank you so much to Ms. Abbie and the whole Smart Social Media team for making me eat a ton and a half of Pampanga's best food! Can't wait to have more of it soon! Yes?! Hahah!

You also have iFlix and Spinnr pre loaded so you don't have to waste your precious MB's for downloading them. It's super affordable, then you have all the perks that comes with the Smart Prepaid connection, how can you beat that?

Citibankers Get 25% Off On Vikings

Citibank has been in the Philippines for years now and yes, they've been able to pioneer one of the most basic perks given by banks which is credit card services. It's their 25th year, and what better way to fully celebrate it but by giving you a fancy blowout through Vikings, one of the best buffet restaurant chains in the country. Aside from Vikings, they are the same people who have brought you NIU by Vikings, and recently the Four Seasons Hotpot City. Some of their participating restaurants/branches will get you 25% off if you go there in groups of 5.

Well that's not all, they've got the same groove happening in some of my favorite hotels in the country the Discovery Group. If you want a staycation in Discovery Primea, Discovery Shores Boracay and their other branches, they could give you 25% and perks in all of them, something that only Citibank can offer their clients on their 25th year!

There's more of this shown on this short video I made during the press conference.

Mr. Charles Lee of Vikings said "Never in their wildest dreams did they ever thought that a bank would actually partner with their brand and at a momentous occasion at that. Now you can get these perks in our Vikings buffet destinations like SM Jazz Mall Makati, SM Marikina, SM City BF Paranaque and SM Davao. This partnership will get us wider audiences so we could serve the best mouth watering food specially prepared by our international chefs in Vikings."

Their thrust for this anniversary is the Filipinos innate love for enjoying hearty meals with your loved ones hence the irresistible offer. Remember, this will only work if you pay with your Citibank Credit Cards and if you don't have one yet, please visit their banks or ask a Citi banker in malls and shops nationwide. They're not stopping there, because there are more travel and hotel perks too included in this year's celebration. They're also tapping different establishments so you know what you're getting into when you're with Citibank.
