Catch Bamboo, Belle Mariano, Moira Dela Torre, AC Bonifacio, and Arthur Nery as Smart puts the spotlight on the many amazing ways Filipinos can harness the power of 5G—from streaming ultra-high-definition movies and shows, sharing content on social media in real time, to playing high-bandwidth mobile games without lag.

“Everyone is talking about 5G and its impressive speed, but the true value of 5G lies in its ability to enhance experiences— whether it's gaming, streaming, or sharing content. With Smart 5G Max, we’ve made 5G seamless in Bonifacio Global City (BGC),  and we plan to expand this coverage across the country in the coming months,” said Kristine A. Go, Senior Vice President for Smart Wireless Consumer Business.

 

“Gone are the days of fluctuating connections from 5G to 4G and even 3G. With Smart 5G Max, you can enjoy, fast download speeds for streaming, instant uplink for sharing, and  low-latency for gaming — all without interruption and on-the-go,” she added. 

 

The latest wireless technology, 5G or fifth generation brings four things to the table: super-fast speeds for downloads and uploads, ultra-low latency for gaming and responsiveness, greater bandwidth for more devices, and a much better quality of service.

 

Everyone can experience these first-hand at the Creator’s Lab, Game Arena, Stream Theater, and 5G-powered Stage and Store.

BAMBOO GOES BEEF BEEF BEEF BEEF WITH JOLLIBEE GARLIC PEPPER RICE

The 90's Filipino music scene will not be complete without the mention of the rock group Rivermaya, and with Bamboo at the helm, they dominated the radio stations with hits like Ulan, Himala, 214, Hallelujah, to name a few. Bamboo left the band in 1998 and would go on to have a stellar solo career.

Now, a decade and 7 years later,  the world class performer with a number of bestselling albums and sold-out concerts has been chosen as Jollibee's newest brand ambassador for its equally bestselling Jollibee Garlic Pepper Beef rice meal.

Last night, (January 21,2015) Jollibee gave us a "beefed up" music experience as Bamboo rocked the Craft Pub at Bonifacio Global City.

After his mini concert, the night became even more fun as Bamboo jammed it up with four groups (composed of media guests) each singing one of his trademark songs Hallelujah, 214, Elesi and Tatsulok,

Team 1 comprised of bloggers Jeman Villanueva, Paul Chuapoco, Enzo Luna and Alwin Aguirre won the Rockeoke competition with their impressive rendition of  Hallelujah.

Besides the Rockeoke, a couple of other guests got to bring home prizes. Ruth dela Cruz looked like a rockstar with her black The Doors shirt, jeans and pump up booties and was judged by Bamboo as the best dressed woman of the night while Jonel Uy with his 'Michael Jackson' black jacket was picked as the best dressed male.

Rocking out can really make you hungry, it was a good thing that we got to try out the Jollibee Garlic Pepper Beef. Now we know why it made Bamboo go Beef! Beef! Beef! Beef!

Like Bamboo, you can beef up your everyday meal with the Jollibee Garlic Pepper Beef, the juicy beef strips in flavorful pepper sauce, topped with garllic bits, a mouth watering delicious favorite that offers a great value for money at only Php50. You can partner the meal with strawberry sundae, like the way I do to beef up the sarap!.
