Smart celebrates living more with Smart Move party

MANILA, Philippines - Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) recently held the Smart Move party at the Opus Restaurant and Lounge in Resorts World, Manila. The event was an exclusive gathering for loyal clients and new subscribers that have moved up from their former mobile service providers and have embraced the telco’s mantra of “Living More.”

Hosts Marc Nelson and Sarah Meier welcomed guests to the evening’s festivities, and asked some of Smart’s celebrity ambassadors, such as Anne Curtis and Ramon Bautista to share what they love about being with the nation’s top network.

They were later joined by Smart EVP and head of wireless consumer division Noel Lorenzana, who talked about the origins of the award-winning Live More campaign of the company’s dependable, top-notch services powered by the Philippines’ first and only 100-percent super-charged mobile network.

“When you’re struggling with your wireless services — a missed call, a late message, slow Internet — you’re losing time that you can’t get back. You’re literally losing a part of your life,” Lorenzana explained. “Now when your provider is able to give you the service you need, service that is both timely and dependable, you also get more time to enjoy life. You actually get to Live More.”

A panel of three special guests who made the Smart Move — fashion blogger Ingrid Go of the Bag Hag Diaries, lawyer Rod Nepomuceno of PR firm Big Big Big and entrepreneur Cristalle Belo-Henares of the Belo Medical Group — all affirmed that with Smart, subscribers do indeed live more. Each panelist shared their experiences with Smart, talking about how much better life has been with the wireless service provider’s reliable service and high-speed Internet connection.

Guests also got to experience Smart’s technology first-hand, with demo stations around the area showcasing the company’s blazing-fast LTE speeds made possible by four times more fiber power compared to its competitors.

A champagne parade soon followed, leading to a toast to Living More by none other than PLDT chairman Manny Pangilinan with Smart chief wireless advisor Doy Vea and PLDT Technology Group head Olan Peña.  As MVP and a cadre of Smart’s top endorsers raised their glasses, everyone at the affair gave rousing applause for Smart.

The program eventually came to a close, but the party was far from over as DJ Callum David rocked the night away with an uproarious set.

Spotted at the event were Anne Curtis and Jasmine Curtis and Maxene and Elmo Magalona.  Also joining them were Rico Blanco, Billy Crawford, Vhong Navarro, Champ Lui Pio, Guji Lorenzana, Jinri Park and Bianca King.

Also present were Veronica Mendez, Louie Ysmael, Piku Uttamchandani, Erik Cua, GP Reyes, Nicole Whisenhunt, Martin Bautista and Phil and James Younghusband.
