When In Manila, party VIP style at the biggest and bestest club in the Philippines: Republiq at Resorts World Manila!
Just wanted to thank our friends from PLDT for inviting WhenInManila.com and FlairCandy.com to party with them. PLDT officially launched the summer with their “Awesome Hunt!”
PLDT my DSL extends nationwide reach and celebrates with an awesome adventure!
It’s going to take no less than eight cities, 16 personalities, and one huge competition for PLDT myDSL to share its excitement about getting bigger and better. And with over 200,000 reasons to celebrate, PLDT myDSL partners with the Department of Tourism to ensure that it comes up with an exciting event you won’t soon forget.
With the groundwork set, all that’s left is to finally let the public in on what’s ahead. PLDT myDSL is proud to present the Awesome Hunt, a competition that pits teams of famous personalities against one another in their quest to come up with the most awesome online travel features that will ignite anyone’s passion for adventure. The locations for each team’s journey is set in eight chosen cities where some of 200,000 additional myDSL lines have been installed to get more households hooked on broadband Internet.
Just like any treasure hunt, clues will lead teams through four pre-determined venues in each city. And whether they are led to a restaurant, a novelty shop, an ukay-ukay, a landmark, or someone’s home, they are asked to complete specific tasks which they are required to creatively document and post on the PLDT myDSL Watchpad site before moving on to the next challenge. Expect to see each team pull out some major gimmicks to give you the best coverage of each city’s hidden gems.
The Awesome Hunt brings together a great cross-section of familiar faces with different passions. Fellow actors, Marco Alcaraz of My Lover, My Wife and Machete star Bela Padilla, will be tackling the historic city of Butuan while Myx VJ Ton Vergel de Dios and I Heart You, Pare! mainstay Ryza Cenon learn about the university town of Dumaguete. One of the Philippines’s most famous tech bloggers Jayvee Fernandez and Temptation of Wife actor Luis Alandy take on the challenges of covering Las Pinas, and mother-and-son showbiz personalities IC Mendoza and Dolly Anne Carvajal cover Laguna to get to the bottom of what makes it so special. Rediscover Quezon City with blogger and famed Manila tour guide Carlos Celdran and columnist/chef China Cojuangco, and check out Marikina through the eyes of some of the hottest new TV personalities, Starstruck alumnus Steven Silva and Eat Bulaga! host Daiana Menezes. Get familiar with Rizal as DJ Mojo Jojo of The Good Times fame and Between Bites blogger Jane Chua do the same, and race through Cavite with actor and heartthrob Mark Herras and champion car drifter Alex Perez. At stake? P50,000 per member of the winning team, a one-year free PLDT myDSL subscription, a free trip to a popular summer getaway, and a brand new laptop and digital camera.
The competition takes place on April 7 and everyone is invited to be a part of it. How? All you have to do is sign up for Watchpad, which is free with your PLDT myDSL subscription.
