#ALDUBEverAfter for Talk N Text's FREE Viber, Facebook & Twitter

I still remember the time when we covered Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza's first ever announcement of being with the Talk N Text family. It was a day full of love, full of happy moments because they launched promos like the Alden Load and Maine Load of which subscribers would be able to extend their unlimited text and unlimited call extension promos which they can do whenever they want. 

Remember this? :)

This time, it's even BIGGER news because in selected TNT promos, they're throwing in FREE Viber, Facebook and Twitter. They even went ahead and made a video with AlDub in it exchanging sweet text messages before meeting each other! This also looks like they're going to get married! Is this the #ALDUBEverAfter ?

Doesn't it feel like a movie? Isn't this the sweetest commercial ever? :)

Ms. Evelyn Jimenez of TNT's Prepaid Marketing Head says “Like Alden and Maine, TNT subscribers can now make their interactions a lot more fun and creative through Facebook, Twitter and Viber which now come FREE with select TNT promos. You can also easily extend your favorite TNT promos 365x for only Php 5 per day. Now it's easy to keep in touch with your "Katropas" this season!”

Extending is also easy because you can do it by dialing *121# and registering your favorite TNT promos. Then after that, just extend it the next day by texting EXTEND to 4545 the whole year! Isn't that great? Now there's more reason to love ALDUB all over again while they show you how it's done on AlDub's love adventures with Talk N Text!

Viber Philippines Holds "#JuanVibe Gimik Ng Bayan!"

We had a wonderful time at the Trinoma Mall last week as Viber Philippines held "#JuanVibe Gimik Ng Bayan!" in celebration the Filipinos most treasured trait, close personal relationships. It's something unique to us and it's strengthened even further with communication applications like Viber, a free app which you can download off the App Store or Google Play. Imagine, there are about 21 Million users they serve nationwide and they felt the need to give back by giving tons of prizes, free photos, free snacks and a one of a kind free concert! Crazy right?

One thing I kinda realized when I was there was, this event is really intended for the people who has supported them all these years. It wasn't so strict, you didn't need a suit and tie to be there but still feel real special because they've got some of the Philippines' best and world class artists performing on stage. They even had comedy bar veterans as hosts so there wasn't any dull moment while they were on stage. We also saw their newest brand ambassadors, the Junior New System!

After rocking Asia's Got Talent, they've got nowhere to go but up. They personify the fast moves that Viber has been doing all these years and they showed why they're a force to reckon with on the dance floor. These guys also has fans in Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian countries and it's not surprising they ended up as one of Viber Philippines' roster of endorsers because they're that good!

Jascel Valencia of JNS said "This experience is unbelievable! We even had the chance to perform in Tacloban and see JNS Tacloban which are our fans based there. We're the new ambassadors of Viber and we're going to perform in almost all their events from hereon. We're very happy, we're still studying and we're also doing our own businesses as well. We plan to put funds to teach kids how to dance for free. Here, we get to work with Rocksteady, Itchy Worms, Bea Binene and Jhong Hilario. We're happy because we started from nothing, and now we're really getting ourselves on top, we've got money to go to school and help our families and that is just surreal. Some of us are still in highschool, some of us are in college and we've all become like this because of the people who believe in us, so a big THANK YOU to Viber!"

Meanwhile, we also saw gorgeous Bea Binene backstage as she was set to judge a few games later in the day. She's busy touring with Viber and a few provinces lately and she still has got time for studies. She says "I'm so thankful that everything is falling into place, I can still manage my time for work and for school. I can still do it. I actually wanted to take up Communication Arts but I had to find a school that would be able to accommodate what I had to catch up with in high school and my schedules. I also chose to go to a school with my friends, both of which are also from the Kapuso network but we kinda didn't match schedules either, that part was a bummer because we only met twice in 6 weeks of being there. There will be a lot of projects soon, I still don't know what the next soap will be but I'm sure people will see me very soon! As for love life, I'd be concentrating on my career first but I feel if it comes, it will come. I'm focused, I know my priorities but if it comes then I'd welcome it. I'm sure I'll feel it when it's already there."  

I really hope for Bea's continued success in the industry, she's very humble and there are only a few stars that I admire as far as work ethics are concerned and she's one of them. I'm glad Viber also believes in her.

Ms. Crystal Lee, Regional Manager of Viber in Southeast Asia says "This is our own way of saying thank you to our 21 Million subscribers in the Philippines, we're celebrating this success with them!". Viber will have another round on September 12, 2015 at SM Pampanga so if you're around the area please follow #JuanVibe on Viber public chats and follow @ViberPH on Twitter.

ItchyVibe: The Itchyworms Viber Sticker Launch

Itchyworms L-R Chino Singson, Jugs Jugueta, Jazz Nicolas and Kelvin Yu during the band's own Viber Sticker launch.

We had a blast last Tuesday at Route 196 in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. We were there to witness the launch of the first band, first artist to ever launch their own sticker on popular messaging app Viber. Yes, that in itself is something to be proud about... sure enough they showed us why they're one of the best bands this country ever had!

We literally were standing during the interview and asked them about this latest feat. Viber has been steadfastly supporting them all these years and they were grateful to actually do this. The artist initially had these made specifically for T-Shirts but figured it'll be perfect for the app stickers that they planned to make. These are actually one of a kind, but they gave away shirts that evening that's got the designs printed on them. It was sweet, because only a few of these will be in existence!

We also gave our thoughts about their performance during the 7107 International Music Festival because out of all the bands that played there, they were freaking awesome and FUN! I don't know any band that's got humor and music done together brilliantly. It was even natural, didn't feel that anything was staged... and yes they even performed a lot better than other international acts. I had a mistake of even saying they were "at par" when in fact, they've got a point to say they were a tad better. 

Now they also explained each sticker that they published while we were there and most of it were real deal expressions that they use everyday. They also had their own manner in saying it, of which some regarded as their private jokes. They also said they had to trim it down to 40 because most of the personal jokes might not apply to everyone. The ones left, were really pretty good. As a matter of fact, I use them now on my Viber... on a regular basis that is! :)

40 official stickers now available on the Viber Sticker Market. Image rights are credited to Itchyworms.

It's full of personality, they also use the Filipino vernacular to give it more sensible in everyday conversations which is a pretty smart thing to do. If you see the actual characters in their sticker, it pretty much is the same astronaut seen on their album entitled "After All This Time" which is also out on stores nationwide. Now, everyone can enjoy them on smartphones because as of Viber's word that evening... a lot of people already downloaded it. This is history, the first official Filipino band who ever had a sticker on the Viber Sticker Market. Oh and as if that evening wasn't already great, they went ahead and played almost all their biggest hits front and center! These things are made of dreams!

They're not just a bunch of musicians, they're totally relate-able and you wouldn't even know they're paying homage to the Beatles. I had real good fun talking to these guys because they made sense, and they're pretty serious in what they are doing. No wonder Viber believes in them! I'll surely enjoy their music at any given night. I can say I missed a lot when I didn't get to cover their album launch a few days back, but this surely has freakishly made up for it. No local tales with these bunch of guys, they're just like you and me... they've got their own day jobs, and living with their passion for music. Congratulations Itchyworms! Congratulations to Viber too for getting these guys on board! I heard this won't be the last because they've lined up a couple of surprises later this year. Make sure you download the Itchyworms sticker now on Viber's Sticker Market!

P.S. I super duper love "Ayokong Tumanda" (I don't want to age), thank you for playing that!
