Remember Jollibee’s phenomenally viral #KwentongJollibee commercials from Valentine’s Day this year? Out of those three simultaneously released commercials that broke the Internet, “Vow” caught the most attention of Filipino netizens because of its timely tackling of unrequited love.

Many related to the male best friend, who continues to love without expecting something in return. The commercial won the hearts of Pinoys by illustrating the many forms that love can take over the years. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of netizens wishing for happiness for the best friend who chose not to stand in the way of his beloved’s joy.

Last May 7, 2017 Jollibee released a follow-up to this heartwarming story, with the best friend (played by MJ Tam) finally finding his Perfect Pair where he met his first love: Jollibee. 

The video shows MJ enjoying the country’s best-tasting Chickenjoy perfectly paired with his favorite sides. Jollibee now serves up its crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy with rice, drinks, and a range of sides and dessert options to complete that unforgettably joyful meal experience we all love—with the Chickenjoy 99 Perfect Pairs.

“The 99 Perfect Pairs definitely takes that delightful Chickenjoy experience we all know and love to the next level,” said Kent Mariano, Jollibee Philippines Assistant Vice President for Marketing. “There are now five ways to enjoy the Chickenjoy meal with different delicious sides, perfect for changing up flavors every day!”

For only P99.00*, diners can enjoy their favorite Chickenjoy Value Meal with Jolly Crispy Fries, Creamy Macaroni Soup, Mashed Potato, Buttered Corn, or a Mini Sundae.

“For a very affordable price, customers can now discover their perfect pairing of meals,” added Mariano. “And who knows, just like in our latest commercial, you might find your one Perfect Pair in Jollibee!”

The Chickenjoy 99 Perfect Pairs are available in all Jollibee stores nationwide for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru transactions.

As AirAsia continues to promote #HowIFly campaign, the world’s best low cost carrier recently visited a pearl farm in Palawan for the upcoming new episode of AirAsia RedTalks with Daphne.

AirAsia launched the #HowIFly campaign, a social media advocacy that encourages and educates everyone on how to be responsible travelers as they discover new destinations. 

Palawan known as “The Last Frontier”, is a familiar travel destination as it is home to rich rainforests, scenic diving sites, primeval caves and beautiful beaches. Unknown to many, Palawan also hosts one of the largest areas of pearl farming – a unique industry in the country. This makes a necessity for the local community to be a prime mover of sustainability to balance conservation and progress. One of the key players in pearl farming in Palawan is Jewelmer, a leading jewelry company that takes sustainability at the heart of its operations.

Learn more about the beauty of pearl farming, the role of the business community on environmental protection and the AirAsia’s #HowIFly campaign at the next episode of AirAsia’s “Red Talks with Daphne”, hosted by award-winning TV host and producer, Daphne Oseña-Paez. 

Entitled Destination: Harmony, it will talk about pearl production, and delves into the ongoing campaign to protect Palawan’s marine biodiversity through responsible eco-tourism and the AirAsia’s continued advocacy in educating people to be responsible travelers. 

Red Talks with Daphne’s 5th episode will be available on AirAsia Philippines’ Facebook page at www.facebook.com/airasiaph on May 20, 2017. 

AirAsia, voted the world's best low cost carrier for eight consecutive years by Skytrax, produced a 6-part web series featuring some of Asia’s best-kept attractions, rich cultural heritage, and inside stories about people and the airline that broke travel norms and made flying possible for everyone across Asia and beyond.

Converge ICT launches FiberX, iBIZ, Converge Enterprise and FiberXtremec, looks at further expansion

Tweet

A complete ICT solutions provider in the Philippines, Converge ICT Solutions, Inc., elevates Internet experience with the launch of FiberX, iBIZ, Converge Enterprise and FiberXtreme.

Converge ICT Solutions, Inc., also announced further expansion plans and continued strengthening of its fiber optic network. At present, Converge already laid out more than 6,000 kilometers of its fiber optic reach and is still growing. It is already servicing clients from as far north as Baguio and further down south to Batangas. 

In Metro Manila, Converge’s pure fiber optic offering has already covered cities such as Valenzuela and Las Piñas and Muntinlupa cities down south of the metropolis. It plans to further expand its reach by putting up networks in Nasugbu, Batangas and even far north such as San Fernando in La Union.

Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Anthony Uy, said during the media launch, that eventually, fiber broadband offerings will soon be enjoyed nationwide.

The perennial problem of Filipinos in dealing with slow Internet connection will now be a thing of the past, thanks to Converge ICT Solutions, Inc.’s offerings that bring fast, affordable, reliable, and “best-of-breed” pure fiber-optic connectivity to power the Internet usage of home, micro, small-, medium- and large-scale enterprise users.

“With Converge fiber broadband products, whether you are at home or at the office or your place of business, your Internet experience will surely be made better. And the best part of it is that it costs the same as your DSL connection, but made faster,” Uy explains further.

But the best part is that there is “NO DATA CAP” in Internet access unlike those offered by other service providers where there’s a limit to data allowance.

“We thought that what’s the use of having fast Internet connection if there is a limit to data access? With FiberX, there is no more ‘data cap’ to Internet usage. We feel we will just be short-changing our customers if we put a limit to their Internet usage,” says Jesus Romero, Chief Operating Officer of Converge ICT Solutions, Inc.

Aside from bringing faster Internet to Filipinos, Romero said they will limit the existing difficulties customers experience when applying for an Internet connection. 

“Part of the experience is to make sure that customers will not wait long to get connected. We have made the application process simple, easy and fast. No more hassles, no more waiting,” Romero adds.

Initially, FiberX is offered in three different plan types for a variety of home users depending on their Internet usage. FiberX 1500 comes with a burstable speed of up to 25Mbps, FiberX2500 at up to 50Mbps while FiberX 3500 offers connectivity of up to 100Mbps. With pure end-to-end fiber technology that’s light years better than traditional Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), FiberX will surely enhance everyone’s online experience with better speed, larger bandwidth and consistent performance for either work or play. But for those who want even faster connectivity, there’s FiberXtreme that comes in burstable speeds of 300Mbps and 500Mbps and priced competitively at P4,500 and P7,000, respectively.

For SMEs, Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. offers its iBIZ pure Fiber plan that allows businesses to operate faster and more efficient, with an Internet connection that has less interruptions and totally reliable. Each iBIZ plan comes with free Webmail, free Web hosting and free Public IP. 

And for larger enterprises, Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. offers “Converge Enterprise” that comes with scalable Internet connection of up to 1Gbps, an IP MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), Disaster Recovery, Managed Data Center Services, and other benefits for more efficient business operations.
