The Unlimited Call and Text of the Telecommunications Companies

"Going unlimited is the trend worldwide. Telecom firms have long provided it to consumers in the United States and Europe for some time. Their prior example shows that it is feasible technologically and financially," said Anthony Ian Cruz.

The Consumers of the Telcos here in the Philippines Specially myself, are very much happy after knowing about the unlimited call and text services provided by Telephone companies, the Smart, Globe and Sun Cellular. The Sun Cellular opened first this service, the 24/7 unlimited call and text but it didn’t hit that big to the people, for Sun’s Cell started their business just recently and has a smaller number of subscribers, their service is not that perfectly competitive to the other network, Sun’s subscribers complains about the signal, because of that it didn’t hit to the people.

Now Touch mobile a sister company of Globe Telecom opened its Power to the People new services the “Todo tawag Todo text” promo, which offers unlimited call and text for 30 days for only 300 pesos and 150 pesos for 15 days unlimited call and text, and “Todo Text” unlimited text for only 50 pesos for 5 days straight, isn’t it “SULIT” for the “Masang” Filipino? With that we can now easily get in touch with our friends and love ones 24 hours a day without hesitations that our balance get zero, no matter where we are in the country. The only problem is when it’s off peak hours, you can hardly contact those parties you are trying to call because of network’s congestion of lines, you need to redial several times until you reach the other party you are trying to call.

Here comes the Smart’s 25/8 their version of Sun Cellular’s 24/7 Unlimited call and text service promo. But I heard and read some articles about subscriber’s complaints with regards to the registrations of the promo, “Smart's unlimited call and text promo hits snag“ it says that every time you attempt to register you will received this message "Due to overwhelming response, we can't complete new registrations at this time. Pls try the UNLIMITED TEXT promo, text 258 & send to 883." A lot of subscribers complains about the problem. Now, this occurred because of competition between Networks, they offer promos and planned it in a short timeline just to go with what the other networks promo, without knowing that problems may occurs, like Network get congested, lack of facilities to accommodate the bulk calls they received, etc. Networks should consider some considerations to avoid customer’s violent complaints and reactions.

For now to those who subscribed the promos just enjoy it as what I did but please be wise enough in using those services, observe some phone etiquettes and don’t abused it. Hope this kind of service continues. “SULIT NA SULIT TO” tawag na!

Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales

I’ve seen Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales fight yesterday with guts and confidence that Manny will win the title, on the 1^st round it seems everything is fine and the Filipinos are very much confident about the fight, but on the next rounds my Guts turn into fear and dismay, and other people who watch the fight with me on the television opens their mouths wide, after seeing the bad cut on Pacquiao's right eye caused by an accidental headbutt in Round 2 and worsened by another headbutt in Round 6. but still with hope that he can still cope up the fight. As the round continues my confident was gone watching Manny’s face with bloods, but still I prayed to God to give Manny the fighting spirit and the courage to win the fight even if he got a cut in his upper right eye. Seems the fight is for Erik as the round goes. 12^th round comes close and my attention on the game was disturb with mumbles, murmurs and rumors with my fellow Manny’s fanatics who also watched the fight, some says Manny is weaker now for he loss blood to reduced his weight, some says there’s scam, some says It’s a strategy, to have a return bouts for money. Hearing those opinions lets me down and lost hope for Manny to win… Now round 12 comes… Suddenly I stand up from the chair I’m sitting when Manny gave a lot of punches and blows to his opponent Erik Morales. I got alive and screaming for Manny’s courage… I thought he will knocks Morales down that last round, coz it’s the only last chance to win that fight if He can Knock Morales out that very round. But unfortunately it’s too late and Morales didn’t get down and the bell rang to end the fight. Other people watching the fight walk with shoulder down and a sad look in their face for the decision was unanimous in favor for Morales.

Manny got lost the fight but for me and for all the Filipino he is still our champion, our Idol, our Hero. Mabuhay Manny, you did a very good job, I am proud of you! We will wait for the return bouts… Manny Pacquiao Rules…..

A Few Quotes about Manny Pacquiao

(Manny Pacquiao is a national hero in the Philippines. When he returns home after his fights, he is greeted by thousands of his cheering countrymen. Among his fans is Philippines President , Gloria Macapagel-Arroyo. She said, "The victory of Pacquiao is a victory of more than 76 million Filipinos, and the entire nation joins him in celebrating.")

"Quite simply, Pacquiao is one of the hottest fighters in the business. There is a saying in American boxing: 'Speed kills,' When that speed is accompanied by power, it is truly a formidable combination - and Pacquiao has it." - Graham Houston, Boxing Monthly.

Boxing columnist, Michael Katz wrote, "He ran away from the corn and rice fields at the age of 12 because his mother didn't want him to box. So he hustled at pool, conned a few kids at basketball, and turned pro right after his 16th birthday as a junior flyweight. Now he is on the cusp of becoming perhaps the greatest Asian fighter to conquer the West since Genghis Khan."

Pacquiao's most impressive win, however, was in a non-title fight - a devastating TKO against former three-time world champion, Marco Antonio Barrera in November 2003. After the fight, HBO boxing analyst, Larry Merchant said, "This is a fight that will shake up the boxing world. Long live the new king."
