MayWard surprises fans and PLDT customers as Customer Care agents on Twitter

The tandem reaches out to PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi customers by directly answering their online queries.



MayWard, the popular onscreen tandem of Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber served as special PLDT customer care agents to help customers with their inquiries on PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi. The overwhelming customer response had #MayWardAtYourService trending on Twitter during the takeover.

MayWard took to Twitter to reach out to their fans and personally answered customer queries on the convenience of purchasing the device, ease of use and reloading it. Learning that PLDT Prepaid Home Wifi is available at the stores and retailers near them, customers found it helpful to know more about the device including how easy it is to load online through their Home Wifi dashboard, sari-sari store or any authorized PLDT or Smart retailer, and Pasaload using Smart or TNT mobile number. Perfect for the family’s use at home, customers can also enjoy up to 1GB of data per day for as low as Php15. Needless to say, the duo said they enjoyed the entire experience and that they find it fulfilling to be able to answer these questions and receive thank-you’s from customers.

“Sobrang nag-enjoy ako. Namiss ko yung time na nag-on-the-job training ako, kung saan para din akong nag-customer service. Hindi madali ang trabaho ng customer care representative. (I really enjoyed it. It made me miss the time when I was doing on-the-job training, where some kind of customer service was involved. The job of a customer care representative is not easy),” said MayMay.

For his part, Edward said, “It’s the first time I was able to do something like this and I have a newfound respect for everyone who does this type of job, because it’s really challenging. For one, it’s hard to communicate when you are not face to face with the other person to ask more details about his or her concern. You also have to be careful about using unnecessary words.”

Maymay and Edward find the Internet most useful in their work as they turn to social media to constantly update their fans about their activities.



“Malaking tulong po ang Internet sa trabaho namin lalo na’t lagi po kaming nag-uupdate sa fans kung ano na nangyayari sa buhay namin. Yun po ang nagiging paraan namin para mapasaya sila. (Internet is very helpful in our work. especially that we always update our fans about what’s happening in our lives. It’s been our way to make them happy),” Maymay said.



Both Maymay and Edward said they are happy that the Internet has become more accessible for households because of the PLDT HOME Prepaid WiFi.

“Ibinahagi din namin sa customers na madali lang magkaron at napaka-affordable ng PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi para sa pamilya. Accessible sya kasi mabibili mo lang yung device sa malapit na tindahan. Mae-enjoy mo pa ang mabilis at abot-kayang Internet connection para sa buong pamilya. Madali lang din magload at pwede mo ma-control ang ang data usage mo ayon sa iyong budget kasi maglu-load up ka lang pag kailangan. (We shared to the customers how affordable and easy it is to buy PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi. All you need to do is buy the device at the nearest retail store and you can already have fast and affordable Internet connection for your family at home. It’s also convenient to load and you can control your data usage according to your budget because you will just load as needed),” said Maymay.

“It’s very accessible. Imagine, you can load for as low as only P15 for one Gigabyte (1GB) of data. It’s also easy to use. You just have to plug it. It’s probably the simplest WiFi that I’ve ever encountered,” Edward said.



No more worries about monthly bills, lock-in periods, or even uncontrolled data usage when you get the PLDT Home Prepaid WiFi. Available at PLDT Stores and retailers nationwide for a one-time fee of PHP 1,995, which comes with FREE 10GB data valid for seven days.

Vivo’s young stars support the launch of the Vivo V11 at the Shangri-La The Fort

Fresh from the Box-office success of The Hows of Us, Vivo PH celebrity endorser Daniel Padilla along with the country's brightest stars graced the launch of Vivo V11 at the Shangri-la The Fort last September 11.

Vivo’s roster of talents was led by blockbuster actor Daniel Padilla. He was joined by fellow stars Maymay Entrata, Edward Barber, Barbie Forteza, Kisses Delavin, Iñigo Pascual, Julie Anne San Jose, Loisa Andalio, McCoy de Leon, Elisse Joson, Vern Enciso, Verniece Enciso, Maris Racal, Darren Espanto, Ashley Rivera, Kira Balinger, Chienna Filomeno, and KZ Tandingan.

 
The night’s entertainers, Julie Anne and KZ, show off the beauty of the Vivo V11 in their social media pages.

The launch was kicked off by Julie Anne, also known as the Asia’s Pop Sweetheart, with her powerful medley of Jennifer Lopez songs that pumped up the mood of the guests. KZ, the Soul Supreme, then closed the grand launch with a mini-concert that highlighted her vocal prowess and engaging performance.

Squad goals: A Vivo event is never complete without the signature selfie featuring its endorsers!

The Vivo endorsers, of course, would not let the night end without their traditional selfie with Ms. Annie Lim, the Vice President for PR and Strategy Partnerships, and Ms. Hazel Bascon, the Vice President for Sales. The selfie was taken by Darren who made sure that the Vivo endorsers and executives fit the frame. He used the Vivo V11 that features a 25-megapixel AI selfie camera that produce more vivid and vibrant photos.

The program was co-hosted by Myx VJ Iñigo—along with fellow Myx VJ Ai dela Cruz—who shared the responsibility of making sure the launch stayed the course as planned. Iñigo took on the gargantuan task of hosting the launch although he was a few days away from releasing a new song and a music video.

The Enciso sisters are not only fashionable; they are also techy with their Vivo V11.

Fashion vloggers Vern and Verniece, meanwhile, guided the guests visiting the Vivo V11 Experience Area after the star-studded main event launch.

Daniel, the blockbuster actor, took some time off from his busy schedule to throw his support to Vivo.

One of the highlights of the V11 night was the press conference of the endorsers where they got to share why they love the latest Vivo smartphone. Daniel could not even stop himself from gushing over the V11, especially its In-Display Fingerprint Scanner.

“Who here has watched sci-fi films that showed the use of fingerprint scanning technology to unlock the smartphone? Twenty years ago, we can only watch these on films… Who would imagine that today, tonight we can do the things that we’ve seen only on films? The Vivo V11 is the future,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino.

Daniel also praised Vivo V11 for its 3400mAh with Dual-Engine Fast Charging and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660AIE Octa-core processor that improve performance for gamers like him.

“This smartphone is not a joke. It is really super high-tech,” he said.

The blockbuster actor also entertained the Vivo dealers with his suave rendition of “Fly Me to The Moon.”

Who will be Vivo's next loveteam endorsers?

Top global smartphone brand Vivo is set to mount a Consumer Launch on April 14, 4:00 pm at the Market! Market! In Taguig City. The said consumer launch would set the stage for a big announcement, a revelation of the smartphone’s next local brand endorser.

Vivo in the Philippines is known for their hottest local brand endorsers collectively known as the Vivo Family. Headlined by celebrity royalties Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo, the Vivo Family is composed of the most influential stars in the local entertainment industry. Just recently, the half of MayWard, Edward Barber, was launched as the newest member of the Vivo Family, joining his other famous half May May Entrata, a Vivo endorser since last year. Vivo also has in its roster of local brand endorsers Kisses Delavin and Tony Labrusca whose love team was launched just last year, now collectively known as Kisston.

Because of Vivo famously signing up love teams as their brand endorsers, word is out that another celebrated love pair will join the Vivo Family this month. The said love team rumored to represent the Vivo brand in the Philippines has a steadily growing fan base and, just like MayWard, their love team began and grew at a reality TV show.

Vivo Philippines’ introduction of its new brand ambassadors coincides with the brand’s release of its latest flagship smartphone, the Vivo V9. The Vivo V9 is an artificial intelligence (AI) selfie camera with a 16 MP+5 MP dual-camera setup. Much like its predecessors, the V7 and V7+, the V9 also rocks a 24 MP selfie camera that comes with features like AI Face Beauty Natural Light, Studio Light, and Monochrome background which brings selfie-taking with the new Vivo smartphone several notches higher in the quality scale. Selfie-fans will also benefit in the ample phone display of the Vivo V9 as it could improve the overall composition of every photograph taken, with enhanced clarity and definition.
