PLDT myDSL latest treat for the Filipino Family

"Mommy Knows Best", we all know that and like any other mother, I always make sure that I give the best that I can for my family. Be it in serving the meals, buying stuff for the home and for every member of the family, etc. That includes the support that I can give particularly with regard to the children's education. I learned that there is another thing that I need to get for my family.... that is the newest PLDT myDSL connection for our home and I believe for every home.

More and more families live in digital homes that need a fast, reliable, wired Internet connection for simultaneous use on multiple gadgets. It may sound like a tall order for most broadband services in the country, but PLDT myDSL has come up with a plan to help get the strongest DSL connection at home, with speeds as high as 10MBPS at only P4,000 a month. Of course, there are plans convenient for any budget as well, starting at the affordable monthly rate of P990.

This is just the latest plan the nation’s most preferred broadband is offering to help make broadband easier to share among everyone in the family. Tried and tested, myDSL has more reliable connections thanks to the continuous upgrades of its lines, most notably the ongoing switch from traditional copper lines to the PLDT Next Generation Network, which is being done without additional costs on the part of subscribers.

Going hand-in-hand with these improvements is an upgrade on PLDT myDSL’s customer services and a regularly updated website for news, product announcements, and promotions.

All myDSL subscriptions are part of PLDT’s Triple Play package, which includes unlimited myDSL, a landline, and PLDT online entertainment portal Watchpad, which gives you access to 17 channels and exclusive content, as well as the coming Pacquiao Vs. Marquez fight, live with no commercial breaks if you’re on plan 1995 and up and registered to Watchpad. Not yet on Watchpad, register now. And if you’re a non 1995 and up subscriber, you can still watch the fight for free if you subscribe to Watchpad Big Ticket from now until Nov. 10.

Sharp's Commitment For Our Future

This coming 2012, Sharp Corporation celebrates 100 years of innovation worldwide while its local subsidiary, Sharp (Phils.) Corporation, marks its 30^th year. Despite the passage of time, there are no signs of the Sharp brand ever slowing down. From introducing unique products that have improved lives all over the world to technology envisioned for our future, Sharp makes good on its commitment of creating a better life for all.

With Sharp, going green is not just an empty claim. It has been at the forefront of developing solar technology long before global warming become a major issue for environmentalists. And though the Philippines might be a long way from fully adapting this kind of technology at present, it hasn’t stopped the company from exploring opportunities for solar power locally.

Sharp’s poly-crystalline silicon (PSC) solar panels are now in use at a Cepalco operated farm in Cagayan, the first solar farm in the country. The PSC panels and the newer thin-film panels are widely utilized in other parts of the world for navigational systems, satellites, skyscrapers, and other commercial applications. Photovoltaic technology will no doubt be even more popular as the company continues on its quest to make its solar panels more efficient and more accessible.

Closer to home, Sharp’s wide range of consumer products also do their share in conserving the environment. Technology in the home has truly gone a long way with Sharp. Appliances are incorporated with Plasmacluster Ion Technology that suppresses harmful airborne elements to promote a clean indoor environment. These are found in Sharp air purifiers, ion generators, air-conditioners and refrigerators.

And while Sharp’s new UV2A technology in its Quattron LCD TV also does its part in creating a more power efficient TV, the fact that it is the first in the industry to have the proprietary RGB+Y (red, green, blue + yellow) technology means it can easily handle advanced picture quality and maximum color precision that only Sharp can provide.

Times have surely changed much in the past 100 years, but Sharp’s approach of developing products to fit our lifestyle and to benefit our future and those of the coming generations will always remain timeless.

Smart C+ Wear Your Choice Kick Off

Smart C+ launched their newest campaign with famous celebrities RJ Ledesma, Divine Lee, Anton del Rosario, Rissa Mananquil, and Liz Uy. It was a star-studded event held at the FVR hall at the Bonifacio Global City.

The “I Choose” campaign, Smart C+ recognizes that the possibilities are endless and it is up to the individual to make his choices and define his life. Smart C+ has chosen 5 plusmakers – individuals who are adding to their own and others’ lives. They are pursuing their passions and inspire others to do the same.

RJ Ledesma has tasted life and is still thirsting for more! An editor of Manila’s premiere men’s magazine, an author of multiple titles on marriage, manhood, and its comedic mix-and-matching, and a tongue-in-cheek TV host, not everyone knows that he is also behind the Mercato Centrale and Midnight Mercato weekend markets, which specialize in hearty, and healthy dining. RJ acknowledges the significance of purity in both diet and lifestyle. An instructor and co-founder of Yoga Manila, he tries to keep his life balanced with a daily routine of Ashtanga Yoga. “What is important is that you have passion behind what you do,” reveals RJ, “I think it’s passion that fuels the ability to do all these tasks.”

Rissa Mananquil multitasks from her top priority of being a mother to her son, Enzo, to being a model, to teaching. Her weekly beauty column has also become the by-word in the industry, showing her influence in both cosmetics and fitness. “A healthy lifestyle can change your mood, posture, and attitude. You don’t just look good, you feel good. When you choose to eat and drink healthy, it can transform anyone from simple to stunning - inside and out.”

Liz Uy has been one of the pioneering spirits behind Philippine fashion’s reawakening. Her life in the spotlight: from the glossy flashbulbs of photo shoots in the morning, to the searchlights of prestigious fashion events at night, does take its toll on her body. To keep up with her lifestyle, Liz makes sure she has enough Vitamin C every day. “I like how the vitamin C keeps me going.”

Divine Lee’s success can be measured by the skyscraping amount of energy and vitality she transmits on her day-to-day affairs. By managing a residential empire, a luxurious clothing line, a long stream of Twitter followers, a burning passion for compassion and philanthropy, and her towering shadow in the glamorous limelight, Divine follows a schedule that is fast-paced, high-impact, and incredibly versatile. “For someone who is always on the go, I need all the vitamin C I can get to do all things fast, fresh, and on time.”

Another young mover is Anton del Rosario, center-back for the Philippine National Football Team, the Azkals, responsible for the big kick for Philippine football’s reemergence. Anton puts great focus and emphasis on performance and works doubly harder in achieving his “goals”. “When I set my goals, I’ll do what I can to obtain them,” he reveals.

Whatever their interests and dreams, be it the fulfillment of motherhood, flash of fashion, sky-high success, triumph of sportsmanship, the life in the spotlight or out of it, all these young achievers have one thing in common and that is passion in everything they do

Inspired by the plusmakers, Smart C+ invites you to write your manifesto and share it in style with Wear Your Choice, an activation event that lets you design your own “I Choose” t-shirt. You can pose with your virtual shirt and share it with your friends on Facebook. For P200.00, you can get six (6) bottles of Smart C+, and have your own “I Choose” shirt made.

Smart C+ Wear Your Choice will be at the Trinoma Mall’s Cinema Lobby from September 17 to 18 and the Market! Market! Activity Center on October 14 and 15. For updates, visit the Smart C+ Wear Your Choice event page on Facebook..
