Selfie Salute: Vivo local endorsers unite with the brand in support of Marawi soliders

In the light of the victory won against Islamic rebel fighters in Marawi and the recent extension of the Martial Law in the city for another year, Vivo Philippines has been extending their support in more ways than one. Just in time for Christmas, the 5th biggest global smartphone brand launched a special Christmas video in honor of the brave soldiers who risked their lives in the conflict in Marawi. The touching video, which captured the hearts of many, depicts a touch story of a widow, her children, and a husband and father they lost in the Marawi conflict and the people who reached out to them to return the priceless favor.

Vivo Philippines also paid the wounded soldiers of Marawi a visit during a special outreach affair at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Hospital last December 17 to interact with and personally thank the freedom fighters. Vivo's brand endorsers Jason Dy, KZ Tandingan, Darren Espanto, and Kisses Delavin joined in on the affair to give encouragement and empowerment to the soldiers.

Likewise, other Vivo brand endorsers showed their unwavering support to the Marawi troops by offering them a salute. Posted on their respective social media accounts, the Vivo brand endorsers relayed their respective messages of gratitude for those courageous peace-keepers.

Daniel Padilla, in his post of support said, "This Christmas, I would like to extend my #SelfieSalute to all the brave soldiers who fought for our freedom." "Hey super fans!" members of hot all-male group BoybandPH posted on their respective Instagram accounts, "Let us all do a #SelfieSalute for all our brave soldiers who made this year's Christmas peaceful." Soul singer Julie Anne San Jose also posted her own selfie salute for the Marawi soldiers. On the post she said, "I am sending my #SelfieSalute to our brave soldiers who fought for our freedom and peace!" Other Vivo brand endorsers Sue Ramirez, Jason Dy, love team Inigo Pascual and Maris Racal also posted their own selfie salute as a sign of support to the soldiers.
