Justin Bieber visits Tacloban City, helps the Philippines

A beacon of hope and generosity, the visit of international music icon Justin Bieber yesterday in Tacloban City was one for the books. Not only did it lighten the spirits of those who were directly affected by the recent super typhoon, but also rallied and reminded everyone that a lot of work has yet to be done. Justin Bieber reminded the whole world that each and everyone can make a difference by helping others. Justin's #GiveBackPhilippines would go a long way in helping rebuild the lives of those in Tacloban, and in other hard-hit areas.

"About to go perform the last #believetour show. The real last one and the most important one of the tour. #GiveBackPhilippines"

 "That was the way to end a tour. We can all make a change and help. Please get involved. #pray4phillipines #GiveBackPhilippines"

Smart Communications has started to offer the iPhone5c and the iPhone5s starting last month, as we all know. But now, it gets better as it lets you control your own plan. How? With the Smart Freedom Plan for the iPhone5c and iPhone5s, it's a more flexible and affordable plan - with no lock-in contract, FREE 250MB every month, and you pay for what you use. What's best is that Smart will give you a FREE Always On 300 for 12 months for every new Freedom Plan subscription with the new iPhones.

November 2012. My best decision ever was to switch to Smart, the better network, and get an iPhone5. Ever since, I am happy with the services, the connection, the LTE and everything it brought for me, as a digital media practitioner and a traveler. I can't wait to get the new iPhone with the Smart Freedom Plan. See an infographic below for more details:
