ALAMAT, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera Dantes Celebrates DITO Telecommunity Wins

The premise of meeting primetime King and Queen Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera and talented PPOP group ALAMAT was certainly something I'd wish for during Christmas. A few nights ago, DITO Telecommunity celebrated with with media, guests and DITO subscribers and closed the year with the country's Fastest Mobile Network Award. It's something they've been steadfastly working on in improving business growth and consumer experience in the last few years. The event was witnessed by DITO executives Atty. Adel Tamano their current Chief Revenue Officer for Enterprise, Evelyn Jimenez the Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business and their stakeholders.

 
Ms. Evelyn Jimenez pronounced how DITO is still putting up infrastructure as we speak. Their dream is to get those far flung and underserved communities connected to the network so they too could benefit from the internet and fulfill their dreams too. They have received the Philippines Fastest Mobile Network Award (all in all 14 categories) from Opensignal beating their rivals in the country. Their 5G connection is on a different level, having over 287.2 Mbps which nearly doubles their closest competition. This is a milestone for DITO, something that they've don in the last half of 2023 and first half of 2024, but they're not stopping there.

Discovering Talent

Filipino work and craftsmanship is world class. DITO recently launched Galing DITO, to showcase those who excel in their craft (I remember Herminio Tan, a great sculptor from Antipolo which they did a few months ago), also this time, PPOP phenoms ALAMAT. We talked to the boys and saw how it has made their lives easy, they were happy to share their experience with it and the various shows they got mounted with the bullish telecom company. They are also doing a concert today called RAGASA at the New Frontier Theater in Araneta City. You should definitely watch this before the show!

Primetime King and Queen for DITO

 

 Powerful couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera Dantes also obliged us with an interview. They were so happy to have been able to accomplish so much with DITO, and how they have been able to grow with it. Dingdong told us how they started and sees how huge the DITO Telecommunity is now, and was excited to tell us about what they do at home while they enjoy time with kids, or plainly working.

Marian was giddy, telling us how the need of being online 24/7 was answered by DITO. Whenever Dingdong is out for work, or if she's busy with a shoot, they do not fail to get in touch with each other because DITO is seamless and proved time and time again, to be fast whether for work or play. They call each other even at home when they're in different parts of the house. They also enjoy internet time with the kids because they only let them use it when both of them are present. I was so impressed how they managed to still have time for the cute and talented kids no matter how busy they are.

 

 It just tells so much about how a company that believes in the Filipino talent, their artistry and supports them in their endeavors. Their endorsers believe in them, and this is why they've grown exponentially over the years since they started. They're not stopping there, because from what I've heard, both ALAMAT, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera Dantes will be doing several shows and appearances to make sure their message comes across all demographics. They are still putting up infrastructure, but from what is seen so far with regards to their network performance, they're certainly with the right people. 

We hope you get to enjoy these exclusive interviews with them like I did. Thank you to DITO Telecommunity for letting us experience interviewing ALAMAT and the King and Queen of Primetime.

 

DITO Made "Bayanihan" Felt in Southern Luzon

Typhoon Kristine was quite devastating especially for those who are in Southern Luzon. DITO Telecommunity knows how hard it must have been so they didn't waste time giving a helping hand to our countrymen in that neck of the woods.

They have a program called Galing DITO CampX which fits the purpose, they partnered up with Batangas State University to hold a concert and used the proceeds for BSU's fundraising campaign. The concert entitled "PB is United, PB is ONE for Batangas" raised over Php 250,000 to help with daily essentials, food, temporary shelters and relief efforts for the communities they serve. Several DITO brand ambassadors and phenomenal PPOP group ALAMAT performed that evening specifically for the cause. They also built a multi faith chapel inside the campus to serve their students too.

DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business Ms. Evelyn Jimenez emphasized how important it is to have the strength of the community be part of the efforts in rebuilding the province especially those who have been affected by the calamity. DITO stands by them and the Filipino people no matter how hard things may be for the folks there. At the DITO event, they also had students interact with their different booths, learn more about their products that's got new packages on prepaid, postpaid and home connections.

Over at Naga city, they made sure communication stands so they supported various LGU's by equipping them with needed phones and sim cards so folks from Dayangdang, Lerma and Triangulo can call for help, reach their families, and also have internet connection at the most pressing times.

In times of need, it's important for these things to become still accessible, so they could ease the hearts of worrying folks even if they are in the midst of danger there.

DITO Telecommunity Offers DITO HOME WOWFI

Folks at DITO Telecommunity showcased affordable, fast and unlimited internet connection at the DITO HOME WOWFi Launch. Dubbed as a life changing experience at home, they happily showed us how it is to have their new prepaid wifi connection.

Chief Revenue Officer Evelyn Jimenez says "Every few years digital advancements transform the way we live, a transformation to help Filipinos in digital innovation. We are excited to share with you DITO HOME WOWFi, the first 5G Redcap Wifi in the world, home powered by TRUE 5G. Last year we promised 500 Mbps of home speed and connectivity, and we have 100,000 subscribers and counting. Our goal remains the same, we want this to be accessible to everyone and make it even more affordable. This product is for you, a bridge for reliable, convenient, better than wired or fiber connection. We can power the future of digital homes in the Philippines."

DITO's Chief Technology Officer Rodolfo Santiago added "We will introduce another milestone to bring the future of connectivity to every Filipino home. From the very start, you know we want better service, products at more affordable price points. Why DITO? Why Redcap? If you are transferring stuff, there are different ways. This is how we look at Redcap, it gives the capability of 5G we deserve. We reduced the cost, the service and the equipment. We have 5G , in reduced capacity, which allows us to manage cost efficiently. It is now here in the Philippines. We can deliver it a bit higher than the cost of previous 4G. It's in the right position enough for the needs of subscribers. We have been given awards because of it, no other operators have been recognized of it than us. We hope the experts go address your questions, but we are confident this will give homes high performance at lower costs. Thank you for your time!"

Abe Olandres of Yugatech talked about Redcap Technology in 5G. In theory, it's got faster speed with high capacity initially, but it was costly. Redcap addresses that. From Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra Reliable Latency Function used for autonomous vehicles, and Low Power for Wide Area Deployment (used in remote areas). Redcap sits in between these 3. It allows speed but doesn't need ultra low latency response. DITO commits to 100 Mbps for most of this. It is faster to deploy, easier, and not complicated.

Art Samaniego of Manila Bulletin added that there are a lot of devices that don't need full 5G speed. Smart watches, cameras, iOT devices, only need about 1 Mbps. It also doesn't need the full power of it, hence the standard of reducing it in Redcap technology. For homes that have a lot of devices, this would be best, up to 40. This would also be best for remote work and learning. Including those who are into wearables. DITO Telecommunity is investing in more technology across the country.

DITO HOME WOWFI was explained to us with a smart home outside the venue. Automation in homes is happening, from vacuums, lights, windows, TV's, fridges, speakers, and phones, it can be powered by 5G. Some are a bit expensive since fibers need to be laid, devices need to be installed, just to get coverage and make them work. DITO is looking at smart cities and smart infrastructure now, which is a reason why you should try it out now. More 5G stand alone towers are being built til now, they are the only one doing it, next gen tech with the DITO HOME WOWFI. The future of digital at Php 799 for 30 days. Unlimited 5G with bonus of 50G of 4G data in case the other one doesn't have coverage). All plug and play.

Starter kit costs Php 1,990. Go get them DITO WOWFI's in their different channels, you have the option to choose.
