Things you Need To Know about 5G

Bringing the future of 5G connectivity into your home, it offers faster speeds, greater capacity, and enhanced flexibility. Here’s why upgrading to 5G+ could transform your home internet experience.

Unlocking the Real Power of 5G

Faster Speed:
Imagine your current LTE internet speed multiplied by up to 10—that’s the kind of performance boost 5G delivers. The new standard for wireless connectivity, 5G can deliver as high as gigabit speeds for your device. With faster speeds versus its previous generation, 5G also delivers a more stable upload and download experience on a wireless connection.

Better Support for Connected Devices: 
When several smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, home security cameras, and even your personal smartwatch are connected all at once at home, 5G can support all these high bandwidth demand. As more household devices nowadays require connectivity, 5G allows better handling of simultaneous internet use.

Latency:
Latency refers to the delay between sending data from your device and receiving a response. 5Gcan reduce latency to as little as 1 millisecond. This is especially useful for interconnected devices at home and real-time online activities like gaming, video calls, and even emerging technologies like virtual reality, where every millisecond counts.

Why Choose PLDT Home WiFi 5G+?

Uncapped speeds and WiFi 6 Technology:

Whether it's video conferencing, HD streaming or gaming, PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ ensures smoother, more reliable internet for the whole family.

PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ also uses WiFi 6 technology, which supports faster data transfer and higher bandwidth compared to older standards. This enhances indoor coverage and performance, ensuring seamlessand uninterrupted online activities.

Network Coverage: 
PLDT’s wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) covers 97% of the population and is part of the Philippines’ largest integrated network that includes PLDT’s most extensive fiber infrastructure. With PLDT Home WiFi 5G+, you’re getting faster speeds and more stable and consistent connection with Smart’s 5G network that’s available in over 600 cities and municipalities nationwide.

Plug-and-Play Convenience: 
Setting up PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ is hassle-free. With a plug-and-play modem, there's no need for professional installation—just plug it in, register the SIM to activate, and start using high-speed internet right away. Whether purchased from PLDT and Smart stores, PLDT and Smart official store in Shopee, or in SM touchpoints, it’s never been easier to get connected.

True Unli and Flexible Experience: 
PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ offers a prepaid service. For a promotional price of ₱1,495, you get a modem, a 5G SIM card, and 15 days of unlimited WiFi. After that, simply reload your data as needed. What makes this even more unique is the true unlimited experience.

Is your online lover too good to be true? Know the red flags of a love scammer

Dating in the digital age has become easier with so many apps and services to choose from. By the end of 2023, it was reported that 441 million people were using dating apps actively, generating around $8.7 billion in revenues globally through matchmaking services.


The appeal of dating apps is that you’re not limited by geography. You can meet people online in your city or in another country; you get to see how they look like from their profiles; find out their interests; and if you begin chatting, you can judge if you’re compatible enough to go on a first date.

 

Many Filipinos have fallen victim to romance scams, among other fakery proliferating online. Now there’s a Facebook page that crowdsources information and experiences so that you can be more aware about scams. Called Online Alerto, it’s a Facebook community page dedicated to the dissemination of invaluable insights, resources, and strategies related to digital literacy, cybersecurity, and responsible online behavior.

 

Acting as a collaborative platform, it facilitates members in validating their online purchases and transactions while fostering an environment where personal experiences are exchanged to help enhance online safety and awareness among all members. Online Alerto is absolutely free—all you need to do is join the community page to raise your own awareness about cybercrimes.

 

While identity theft and hacking are the leading cybercrimes globally, love scams are rapidly on the rise. In Southeast Asia, these crimes have two victims: those deceived by the scam and those that are trafficked into doing the scams.

 

Online Alerto has pooled resources on the internet for warnings and tips on avoiding love scams.   

 

                                                   

Avoid these red flags

  • ·       The person expresses strong emotions and love for you very quickly, often within days or weeks of initial contact.
  • ·     They quickly ask you to leave a dating service or social media site to communicate directly on WhatsApp or SMS, where they can manipulate you more easily.
  • ·       If an individual attempts to isolate you from friends and family or requests inappropriate photos or financial information, they could later blackmail you or extort money from you.
  • ·       When you make plans to meet in person, they always come up with an excuse why they can’t.
  • ·       They ask for money for various reasons such as travel expenses, medical emergencies, or business opportunities. This is often the biggest and most obvious red flag.
  • ·       They tell you stories to elicit sympathy, such as being widowed, having a sick child, or facing some urgent crisis.
  • ·       They ask you many personal questions, but they avoid sharing their personal details or give information that cannot be verified such as a home address or workplace.

 

What scammers say to hook you in

"I or someone close to me is sick, hurt, or in jail."

"I can teach you how to invest."

"I'm in the military far away."

"I need help with an important delivery."

"We've never met, but let's talk about marriage."

"I've come into some money or gold."

"I'm on an oil rig or ship."

"You can trust me with your private pictures."

 

Ways to protect yourself

  • ·       Reverse search the person’s photo by using online searches like Google Images.
  • ·      Be careful what you post and make public online. Scammers use details shared on social media  and dating sites to better understand and target you.
  • ·       Maintain a healthy level of skepticism, especially if things seem too good to be true.
  • ·       Suggest a video call early in your communication.
  • ·    Check their social media profiles for consistency with what they've told you. Look for a reasonable number of friends, photos, and posts over time. A lack of social media presence or a newly created profile can be a red flag.
  • ·       If you decide to meet in person, choose a public place and inform a friend or family member about your plans. Ensure the person you meet matches their online presence.
  • ·      Some dating apps offer identity verification features, like blue checkmarks, to indicate users who have verified their identity through the app.

Join Online Alerto on Facebook to better protect yourself from romance and other scams and learn from other people’s experiences.

From courtroom battles to behind-the-scenes drama, here's a must-watch list of the best legal dramas on Lionsgate Play.

Dark Waters

A gripping legal thriller that follows the real-life story of environmental attorney Robert Bilott (Mark Ruffalo), Dark Waters delves into the complexities of fighting a powerful corporation accused of contaminating a town's water supply. As Bilott uncovers a long history of pollution, the stakes rise, revealing the immense personal and professional sacrifices required to pursue justice.


The Sparring Partner

Based on actual events in Hong Kong, The Sparring Partner delves into the twisted psyche of Henry  (Yeung Wai Lun)and his accomplice Angus (Mak Pui Tung), who stand accused of murdering Henry’s parents. The courtroom drama unfolds through a series of interviews, revealing Henry's chilling demeanor and possible motives rooted in jealousy, greed, and sociopathy. Despite the seemingly clear-cut case against Henry, Angus' role remains ambiguous, clouded by coerced confessions and questionable evidence. As the trial progresses, the jurors grapple with their preconceived notions, further complicated by a disturbing re-enactment of the crime. The film critiques the jury's partiality and the sensationalism surrounding the case, offering a compelling yet grim reflection on justice and human nature.

Woman in Gold

In Woman in Gold, Helen Mirren stars as Maria Altmann, an elderly Jewish woman who, six decades after fleeing Nazi-occupied Vienna, seeks to reclaim her family's possessions seized during the war. Central to her quest is the renowned painting "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt, a portrait of her beloved aunt. Teaming up with a determined young lawyer, Randy Schoeberg (Ryan Reynolds), Maria embarks on an arduous legal fight against the Austrian government, which regards these artworks as national treasures.

On the Basis of Sex

On the Basis of Sex chronicles the inspiring journey of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the most influential figures in American legal history. Portrayed brilliantly by Felicity Jones, this biographical drama focuses on Ginsburg's early career and her fight against gender discrimination. The film highlights her landmark case that set the stage for her future role as a Supreme Court Justice, making it a must-watch for those passionate about legal history and social justice.

Charming and Cheeky: 4 Must-Watch British Comedies on Lionsgate Play

From slapstick humor to dry wit and everything in between, the Brits certainly know how to tickle your funny bone. For fans in the Philippines, Lionsgate Play has curated a collection of must-see British comedies that promise to have you laughing out loud. Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or new to the genre, here’s a lineup that shouldn’t be missed.

Everything I Know About Love

Based on the memoir by Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love offers a raucously tender exploration of female friendship, bad dates, and navigating life in your twenties. Set in the 2000s, the series tackles the highs and lows of adulthood with humor and heart. With its relatable characters and nostalgic nods, it's a vibrant addition to the landscape of British comedy that resonates with the millennial crowd. Starring Emma Appleton and Hannah Dodd, it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to reminisce about the early 2000s or those going through their own quarter-life crisis.

Motherland

Venturing into the realm of parental humor, Motherland is a brilliant take on the trials and tribulations of middle-class parenting. This sitcom dives deep into the chaotic world of competitive playdates, last-minute school projects, and the never-ending quest for "me time." Its sharply written script and outstanding ensemble cast, including Anna Maxwell Martin and Diane Morgan, offer a candid and hysterical look at motherhood like you’ve never seen before.

Keeping Mum

Keeping Mum is a British comedy that revolves around the life of Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), a vicar too absorbed in writing the perfect sermon to notice the chaos unravelling in his own family. His wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) is entangled in a flirtation with her American golf instructor (Patrick Swayze), while their daughter juggles a series of boyfriends and their son becomes a magnet for bullies. The arrival of Grace Hawkins (Maggie Smith), the new housekeeper, introduces a twist as she proposes a drastic, and possibly dark, solution to restore harmony in the Goodfellow household.

Johnny English Strikes Again

The incomparable Rowan Atkinson plays the bumbling yet somehow always successful MI7 agent Johnny English, who returns for a third hilariously high-stakes mission in Johnny English Strikes Again. After a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all active undercover agents in Britain, English is the Secret Service’s last hope. Untrained in modern technology but equipped with analog methods and distinctive wit, English dives headfirst into action.

PLDT Home's Heartfelt Mother’s Day video

Feeling the motherhood pressure? #WeAreHereForYou, Watch this heartfelt Mother’s Day video


Motherhood is definitely one of the hardest endeavors a woman can take in her life — there’s no manual or guide that can properly prepare you for raising children well. That’s why it’s important that mothers find the support that they can truly rely on. This is the message that PLDT Home gives moms in its new Mother’s Day video.

The video highlights the concept of “backstage moms,” or moms who support other mothers as they navigate their responsibilities, challenges, and learnings through motherhood.

The video opens in a studio set up, where Jaclyn, a mother, appears to beperforming for her daughter Lottie. As if filming an actual show, Jaclyn plays the ‘perfect, gentle, and calm’ mom while trying her best to keep her head above water.

But motherhood isn’t a show or performance. The story shifts to Jaclyn who then loses her ‘perfect image’ and goes backstage to release her real emotions. That’s when her support system of fellow moms, including her own mother, comes in to show their support saying,“It’s okay to ask for help. We are here for you.”

Watch the video on YouTube here.


The story ends with PLDT Home thoughtfully reminding moms that there will always be a community ofparents – whether online or offline – thatthey can always rely on no matter what. It’s a timely reminder that when parenthood gets tough, it’s always okay to turn to people who can reassure and empathize with them. With the right support and community, moms can get through anything together.

Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH)’s Gawad Madiskarte powered by PLDT Home, the awards that pay tribute to mompreneurs, is back! This year, MMPH is putting the spotlight not only on hardworking and successful moms, but also on businesses that champion sustainability.

 

In a time when the Philippines is facing environmental and economic challenges, Gawad Madiskarte is looking for mompreneurs that are leading by example, demonstrating that sustainable business practices are not only possible but also profitable. By supporting and celebrating these visionary women, Gawad Madiskarte hopes to inspire other entrepreneurs and businesses to create a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

 

According to a report byearth.org, some of the pressing environmental issues in the Philippines in 2024 are plastic pollution and marine pollution. The country is highly dependent on single-use plastics that generate an annual 2.7 million tons of waste, a problem that the World Bank calls “staggering,” coupled with an insufficient waste management system. The World Bank also reports that an estimated 20% of this plastic waste end up in Philippine waters, endangering marine biodiversity.
