Along with the recent launch of the long-awaited ZenFone Max Plus, ASUS Philippines also revealed the newest personality to join the ZenFone Family. Crowned as the Action Drama Prince in local showbiz, prominent and well-loved actor, Gerald Anderson is all set to take on a whole new action-packed adventure as the new Hero of the Battery King that is the ZenFone Max Plus!

“We are very happy and excited to finally share the ZenFone Max Plus with you all. This is one product that really circulated a lot of buzz over the holidays,” Product Marketer for Smarphones, Francis Garcia, claimed during the big launch of the phone. “And to usher it in with someone as incredibly talented and passionate as Mr. Anderson makes this whole experience even more exciting! We really do hope for your continuing support!”, closes Garcia.

When asked about the ZenFone Max Plus, here is what the heartthrob actor had to say: “I mean, you wouldn’t want to experience a smartphone that loses its juice easily. We’re always on our phones, and when they drain fast, it gets tedious to recharge. The ZenFone Max Plus is very convenient and efficient. This [the 4,130 mAh battery capacity]is definitely a winner!”

“I also love the big display!” Anderson admitted in a follow-up query about the ZenFone Max Plus’ latest innovation, its 18:9 Full View Full HD+ Display. “I love watching movies and videos and I also find it easier to type [texts]! The combination of big battery and big display is the best for me – practical and less strenuous! Great for catching and enjoying moments.”

Gerald Anderson is the latest brand ambassador to join the growing list of top personalities and celebrities endorsing the ZenFone brand. In fact, by some fate, Gerald immediately followed the footsteps of ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 4 Selfie Series Brand Ambassador, Bea Alonzo.

When asked about his thoughts on endorsing the same brand as Bea Alonzo, and the possibility of one day working closely with her, “I just feel so honored to represent such an amazing and innovative brand like the ASUS ZenFones. I’m excited to be a part of the family and was impressed with the work they did with Bea. I’m exhilarated to see my amazing campaign with ASUS.”

It is with this that “Team U” also aims to encourage viewers and organizations from both public and private sectors to be part of building a Sports School—an institution that aims to develop athletes through proper training and development under the wing of acclaimed sports practitioners.

This Sports School intends to provide an opportunity for every Filipino child to dream and live out their passion for sports through education.

For its first season, the show will travel to three schools that are being looked at as pilot regional campuses under the Sports School, namely Rizal High School in Pasig City, Abellana National High School in Cebu, and General Santos City High School in General Santos City.
