What can you buy with ten pesos during hot summer days? A cold soft drink, a couple Popsicle sticks or ice drops, or four pieces of ice candy? Your choices are rather limited considering how expensive things are nowadays, but we have some good news! For P10, you can buy load for your Globe Prepaid, Globe Tattoo, or Touch Mobile!

Tingi Load

This summer, Globe brings you P10 Tingi Load: the first prepaid load that you can buy anywhere and use anytime. Globe Tingi Load comes in secure, easy-to-use scratch cards, like the ones used for higher-priced prepaid load. You can buy these scratch cards from the store, buses, jeepneys, taxis, FXs, street vendors, train stations, restaurants, and stores. They’re practically everywhere. Now, you don’t have to get out of your way to buy load. With P10 Tingi Load, the load comes to you.

Strip Call Card 1

With Tingi Load, you can top up your balance in case you run out of load in the beach or a road trip, whether you’re texting your friends, calling family members, or using your Globe Tattoo to upload pictures of your awesome summer vacation. For only P10, you can enjoy load anytime, anywhere.

Melanie EsponillaFor the next few weeks, we’ll be interviewing fans of the new Globe Tattoo feature to call directly from your laptop or computer! We gathered regular people and asked them a set of questions and we got honest-to-goodness answers from them.

This week, we’ve got someone who actually commented on the last Fan of the Week article. Everyone, please say hello Ms. Melanie Esponilla!

Globe Tattoo: What’s your name? Got a nickname?
Melanie: Melanie Esponilla. My friends/colleagues call me Melai, Mel, Summer

GT:How old are you, Melanie? That is, if you don’t mind us asking.
M: 23years old

GT: Where are you from?
M: Dasmarinas,Cavite

GT: What keeps you busy, Melanie?
Melanie: I work as a call center agent. I’m part of the Escalation Team/Quality Assurance Team/Assistant Supervisors.

GT:Got any hobbies?
Melanie: Writing posts about my interests through my blog, taking photographs, eating (though I’m so skinny, I don’t get fat. hehe) and of course,surfing the net and joining online communities.

GT: Don’t get fat, huh? That’s a problem a lot of people would love to have. So, how did you hear about the Globe Tattoo call feature?
Melanie: I saw the commercial on Television.

GT: Have you seen the commercial? Did you like it?
Melanie: Yes. I like it! I love the concept: making a difference with Globe Tattoo! I was happy to see how Globe Tattoo promotes earth conservation through the commercial. I find it selfless because it’s not only just to promote the product or service being offered but also to remind people of the possible things we can do to save mother earth. And before I forgot,the sexy commercial models is a plus. hehe

GT:What can you say about the new firmware uprade?
Melanie: The firmware upgrade is so easy to download and to install, as long as you can read instructions. It is also the key to experience the Call Feature of Globe Tattoo.

GT: When do you find the call feature most useful? What do you like most about it?
M: I always forget my phone at my office desk and I use it during those situations when I don’t have a choice but to use my laptop to send text messages. But if the situation involves something urgent and I don’t have my phone with me, I have to use a payphone, which I found inconvenient because payphones are mostly found on public areas where the noise is uncontrollable. Di ko marinig un kausap ko. With Globe Tattoo call feature, I can now call through my laptop, anytime, anywhere.

GT:If you could recommend it to everyone reading this entry, what would you say?
M: Globe Tattoo offers services that are beneficial. The call feature is a first from Globe Tattoo. I would say that I never had regrets being a Globe Tattoo subscriber since I had experienced the country-wide coverage and all it’s perks.

GT:Is there anything you want to say to our readers?
Melanie: Hello to all the readers! Try the new call feature of Globe the Tattoo and be amazed! And also be a fan of Globe Tattoo on Facebook to enjoy all the perks of having a Globe Tattoo. Everyone will definitely love it.

Thank you very much, Melanie, for taking some time out of your day for us.

2010

Last week, we announced the Paramore Ticket Giveaway Contest and it was a great success! 121 fans gave their pictures for a chance to win one of fifty bronze tickets and/or one of three Meet and Greet passes.

We’ve already announced the fifty winners. We did so over at our Facebook fanpage over the course of a week.

Today, we drew the three lucky winners of the Meet and Greet passes. Here’s how we did it.

Each contestant was assigned a number, depending on the order at which they submitted their picture. So, if you’re the 115th person to give your pic, your number would be 115. We put the numbers 1 through 121 into a random number generation website. We generated 3 numbers and the person whose assigned number corresponds with our results wins! It’s simple but completely random.

Our three lucky winners are:

Angela Poe

Angela Poe!

Ara de Ocampo

Congratulations, guys! Enjoy the concert!
