Globe and Samsung: Partners for life

MANILA, Philippines - The NBC Tent at the Bonifacio Global City recently became home to over 400 eager techies who couldn’t wait to get their hands on the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Globe Telecom’s launch of Samsung’s newest smartphone.

Upon entry to the Tent’s foyer area, customers were served with free refreshments to cool them down from the prickly summer heat. Not too long after, Globe volunteers standing behind lit-up Globe cylindrical booth counters started to engage customers one by one, carefully validating orders and plan details aided by a single database stored in laptops facing them. In a matter of minutes, subscribers were led into the main Tent where all the magic began.

Staying true to the play of the number ‘4’ at the launch event, four music icons trooped to the Tent to serenade customers and their companions with their signature rhythm that spanned across many generations. With radio DJ Karen Bordador hosting the festivities, the mini-concert featured R&B singer Luke Mejares, soul band Freestyle, rock group The Dawn, and rock icon and Tattoo@Home ambassador Bamboo, singing their hearts out and gamely posing for a shot or two.

“Aside from making Globe subscribers one of the first owners of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the country and in the world, we take pride in giving them the best experience from pre-order to actual fulfillment with launches such as this,” shared Debbie Obias, head of Globe Postpaid Acquisitions. “At the event, we also celebrated our strong partnership with Samsung Philippines, as evidenced with the attendance of their executives and product heads. Indeed, Globe and Samsung play partners for life when it comes to providing the best offers and deals for Filipino consumers.”
