What’s your treasured Nokia moment?

“Getting a Nokia phone back then reflected my commitment to being there for my family.”

Admit it, before all the fuss about touchscreens and sleek metal frames and glass back, the rave was all about the sturdiest body, intuitive interface, and interchangeable covers and keypads. Before the wide range of games on the App Store and Google Play Store, Snake and Space Impact provided the much-needed fun and diversion. Before social media and other online platforms that linked netizens in real-time regardless of distance, there was already that strong connection—that bond with your first beloved phone, your Nokia 5110, 3310, 6310, 1100, 3200… you name it.

You and the rest of the world were part of the Nokia history. That is why it is not surprising that hearing the brand’s name, Nokia, automatically evokes a memory, nostalgia—a connection. Well, you’re not alone! Let’s hear what others have to say about their Nokia memory.




Allana, 22
“My very first phone was a Nokia 2100. It was a hand-me-down from my mom, who gave it to me when I was in third grade. It was small enough to fit my equally small hand and had a soft keypad. I remember dropping it a lot, but it never broke.

One of my favorite memories with this phone was picking out cases for it. The cases came in many colors, mostly pastel. I remember changing both the front and back covers a lot, and each time I got a new case it kind of felt like I got a new phone, too.”

Jes, 22
“Both my parents had a Nokia 5110, twinning relationship goals circa 1990s. One time they did not allow us to play outside so my siblings and I played Snake on their phones. We were very competitive kids. The one who got the highest score and the longest snake received a little something from my parents.

We did that many times and it became our own family bonding in a way. The Nokia 5110 sort of helped bring us closer together. And the phone’s quality is very good: Kahit ilang beses nabagsak yung phone, maayos pa rin.”

Pau, 26
“My crush would usually play games on his Nokia 3315, which back then had the coolest graphics. Though I already had a Nokia 3210, I asked my mom if we could trade it for a 3315. Luckily, she said yes.

Since then, my crush and I would always play Space Impact, Bantumi and Snake together. We shared so many fun moments with our 3315.”

Len, 44
“I took my sweet time riding the mobile phone trend despite being a tech follower. I didn't want to be always “accessible.” But that changed when I had my firstborn. I felt I needed a way to make sure I can check on my baby and that whoever was with him can reach me anytime. So I got my first mobile phone, a Nokia 8210. I liked that it was small and lightweight enough to fit in the pocket and be with me anywhere because that meant I can easily place a call to the house even when I was walking around covering a trade show or rushing to the next R&D facility or meeting while on a business trip. Its speed and voice dial capability was also a selling point for me. The interface was very intuitive and the form factor was small enough such that when my son was a year older he would grab the phone and put it in his ear to listen to me talk from the other side whenever I would check on him.

For me, getting a Nokia phone back then reflected my commitment to being there for my family. As a young new mom back then, my Nokia helped me juggle work and family life. I was happy with how my first Nokia phone served as a handy tool that when I upgraded some years later I stayed with the Nokia brand. I've kept both phones.”


The legacy continues

Apart from the classic ring tone, long battery life, and resilient frame and body, Nokia has always been more than just a mobile experience. It is about the moments shared and memories created, indeed a fulfilled promise of connecting people.

Eastern Communications' brand relaunch brings together tech innovations with human connections

With Eastern Communications, it’s always about a strong and personal connection. 

This is the promise of Eastern Communications as it relaunches the brand through its “Our Strong Connection” campaign after 138 years of providing customers with reliable and affordable connectivity products and delighting them with personalized service and thoughtful solutions to their business needs.  
Eastern Communications continues its efforts to provide both high tech and high touch service with its new “Our Strong Connection” brand campaign. 


Eastern Communications is one of the country’s premier telecommunications companies, pioneering the first data center in the country and trail blazing paths for connectivity in this part of the Pacific. Operating in strategic locations of Metro Manila, Baguio, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Cebu, its 138-year legacy includes long-standing partnerships with industry players, government agencies, institutions, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and, today, even households.

Mr. Gilbert Simpao, Co-General Manager Eastern Communications Heads rally the whole company behind the new company logo and vision during the brand relaunch. 


The trusted business connectivity solutions provider stays on top of quality management standards by being the first and only major telecommunications company to secure the prestigious ISO 9001:2015 certification. 

In an era where connectivity brings rich opportunities for growth, Eastern Communications is committed to not only bringing its portfolio of dependable and affordable internet, data, and voice products, and relevant business-centric managed offerings to new horizons but also highlighting the importance of human connections through its unique brand of “high tech and high touch” service.


Ms. Catherine Muynila, Marketing Division Head
“This is our two-pronged approach to our new brand – high tech means that we offer products and services that are at par with other telecommunication companies but we are also high touch as we offer personalized customer service to our clients. While we strive to give our customers products and services that are both timely and innovative, we will never lose sight of the people who will actually use the technology,” shared Eastern Communications Marketing Division Head Catherine Muynila.  

The clarion call of the campaign is to “bring back the human connection in the business of communications technology” and a re-commitment of Eastern Communications to their clients to providing them with personalized service and customized solutions to fit a client’s business needs. From entrepreneurs to established companies, Eastern Communications promises to become the partner of businesses of all sizes in achieving their goals and their bridge to overcoming obstacles that they encounter along the way. 

“What makes Eastern Communications unique is that we are large enough and with our long history, have expertise at par with other large telcos but we are just the right size to deliver on our promise of responsive and personalized customer service. We are business made especially personal,” Muynila explained. 

With High Tech, Easter Communications is set to unveil this year its exciting internet portfolio, including its Internet Direct Service (IDS) products and new products specific to the SME industry. Eastern Communications will also continue its network modernization program to provide even stronger connections to its current customers. 

Mr. Edsel Paglinawan, Product and Innovation Head

Mr. Bernard Bernardino, Customer Focus and Excellence Division Head

Eastern Communication is committed to bringing back the human connection in the business of communications technology with personalized service and customized solutions. 
Today, Eastern Communications sets out to bring the competitive advantage and possibilities of the digital age to more companies and entrepreneurs in the company. With its bandwidth capability, array of services and commitment to provide personalized service, the company is inviting more businesses and households to discover the “strong connection” Eastern Communications can provide.

Heart-Healthy Christmas with Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil

The feast, flavors, and the festiveness of it all are some of the reasons we adore the holidays so much. However, it’s also undeniable that this season usually equates to calorie-laden food, high level of cholesterol, and unwanted weight gain! So as you plan out your menu, let Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil inspire you to build your list by understanding the helpful benefits of good fats and smart grocery shopping as the beginning to a heart-healthy holiday. 

Incorporating Good Fats into your Christmas Dishes: 

As most people’s favorite affair, Christmas celebration in the Philippines is considered the longest and the biggest. However, it also comes with a full stream of delectable dishes which may not be as healthy for your body.  That is why it is important to strike a balance between delectable treats with what is good for your health.  Below is your guide to a heart-healthy Christmas feast:
    • Choose recipes that have high amounts of good fats, the polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats like Lemon Cilantro Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa or the Baked Chicken and Spinach Rollups.
    • Use only ingredients which are low in bad fat (saturated fats) and high in good fats such as Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil which has the lowest saturated fat among all types of cooking oil.  It is also rich in essential fatty acids such as omega 3 & 6 which are important for brain development, immune system function, and blood pressure regulation.  
    • Load up on avocados, nuts, and salmon to minimize bad cholesterol levels and to help reduce the risk of heart disease.
    • Lessen your consumption of food with high saturated fats (lechon) which could lead to high cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of developing heart disease.
As Fly Ace Corporation’s Group Category Manager for Edible Oils Zen Prudentino puts it, look for affordable options that will prevent cholesterol spike and will keep your heart in good shape.  “It is wise to read the labels and understand your ingredients. Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil is the number one canola oil brand in the Philippine market, it is 100% pure, lowest in bad fats and gives the best value for money with its perfect combination of quality and affordability.” she shares. 

 “Deep-fried food is in demand once the holiday season rolls around, so opting for cooking oil with a high smoking point, like Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, will prevent fried dishes from being burnt and releasing toxic substance in the process” she adds. 

For all your special holiday recipes that call for frying, sautéing, grilling, and baking, the country’s no.1 Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil is a versatile cooking partner. Affordable and high-performing, its pale golden color, light texture, and neutral taste are all part of its charm. Remember, good food is something that no holiday party can do without, so why not make it extra endearing by preparing a well-thought-out spread? After all, dishes that look appealing on the outside and is healthy is the best gift for yourself and loved ones during this jolliest time of the year.
