#InternetForAll: Cebuanos to Enjoy Future-Ready, World Class Network from Smart

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Residents, tourists and businesses in Cebu are set to enjoy future-ready and world class connectivity as Smart boosts the coverage of its LTE and 3G mobile data services in Metro Cebu. The biggest gain will be in LTE coverage, which will quadruple while 3G coverage will double in the country’s second largest urban center.

This initiative is part of Smart’s major expansion of its mobile internet coverage in Metro Cebu over the next three months as part of its three-year network improvement program that aims to bring high-speed internet service to 95% of the country’s cities and towns.

“The activities we are implementing will greatly improve the reach and quality of our mobile phone and mobile internet services in Metro Cebu which is the central hub for business, education, and tourism in the Visayas region,” said Joachim Horn, chief technology and information advisor at PLDT and Smart.

Even as LTE is the focus of the network improvement program in Metro Cebu, Smart noted that is just a part of a broader effort to improve the overall quality of service available to millions of Smart, TNT, and Sun subscribers in the entire Cebu province.

Horn also noted that in the process of this network expansion and upgrade, there may be bumps along the way that may affect the experience of subscribers in the region.

“As with every major network improvement program, some of the changes we will implement in both hardware and software might result in some service disruption and affect small clusters of subscribers from time to time,” said Ramon Isberto, head of public affairs at PLDT and Smart.

These activities are being done during the most inactive hours of the day, assured Isberto, and Smart is putting systems in place to minimise the impact on subscribers.

“We have a lot of work to do. But everyone in Smart is working twice as hard to make this entire exercise as painless as possible to our customers. We are also actively updating them, so they can prepare accordingly.

In the end, our commitment to all our subscribers is that they will have the best possible experience, particularly for mobile data,” added Isberto.

Ingredients That Are Bad for the Health

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ever wonder why some products (medicines and supplements) have their ingredients written in a different language? Something unintelligible? Something we cannot understand? This is because most of these products contain ingredients that are not FDA approved. In other terms, the ingredients ARE ILLEGAL AND MAY CAUSE HARM TO OUR HEALTH.

Thus, supplements and medicines are very transparent with their ingredients and they even note how their products are manufactured to make sure all consumers know what they are taking. When ingredients are not declared properly, think again because it only goes to show that these products are hiding something from the people. Many of the products that have been busted by the government showed that the ingredients are illegal and very harmful especially when taken by a human.

There are companies that put their heart and soul into making sure that every Filipino would be able to be the boss of their own health and would spare them from suffering. With regards to the illegal slimming products, make sure you are one with the nation who continue to stand its ground and fight the manufacturers and people behind fake supplements and medicines, products that contain harmful ingredients. Always remember that no one deserves to have their health in danger just because of carelessness and irresponsible acts of people who only care about their business. Having to deal with fake, illegal and harmful products is a huge problem already, what more to be encounter an irreversible damage to the health right? Make it a point to trust only the brands that are transparent with regards to the ingredients and processes of their products, trust only the ones that will not cause harm to the health.

The next time you want to purchase something, make sure you do it at a reputable drug store or supermarket.

If anyone knows or suspects that a product: medicine or supplement is deemed fake, illegal and harmful contact the authorities and report your concern.
