Hearing it from social: Online personalities share why now is the #BestTimeWithGlobe

Influencer Dr. Kilimanguru, Kapamilya talent and host DJ Jhai Ho, and actress and online personality Kiray Celis are just three of the social media sensations that have shared how Globe has helped them throughout the years and why now is the #BestTimeWithGlobe.

Dr. Kilimanguru, who goes by Winston Tiwaquen in real life, is a licensed physician known for sharing evidence-based health information and advice with a twist of “char”. He says Globe has been very instrumental in keeping him updated and connected with his patients, loved ones, friends, and his fans.

“Best time with Globe is all the time! Very convenient ang Globe because I get to upload my educational videos. Pag wala akong access sa Internet, Globe data is enough. Most importantly, I get updates from my patients regarding their lab results, kaya nakakapag-advise ako agad kung ano ang next steps na gagawin nila,” said Dr. Kilimanguru.

Vaccination Efforts Pave the Way for Economic Recovery

In early 2020, the onset of the pandemic posted big challenges as businesses struggled to stay afloat due to strict lockdowns and social distancing measures. Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, responded accordingly by helping MSMEs shift online easily and seamlessly. And with vaccination programs ongoing, Shopee continues to aid economic recovery by mounting community initiatives focused on increasing vaccination education and uptake to fight against  COVID-19. These programs include Shopee’s Vaccination Center Support drive, Shopee #FullyVaxxed Package, and the Department of Health’s (DOH) Resbakuna campaign.

With fewer cases during the first half of 2021, the country saw great potential for a rebound as there were less restrictions allowing mobility and economic activity.^[1]  Because of this, the Philippines continues to push for the health and safety of its community through its vaccination efforts, with more than 51 million doses administered.^[2]  When the health of the population improves due to the vaccine, it serves as an avenue for educational achievement, growth in work opportunities, improved social functions, and a better chance in economic recovery.

With apertures ranging from f/1.6 - 3.5, and lens from 16-135mm, these cameras mean serious business.  The flushed profile of the cameras makes the phone have a slim, sleek look that will definitely turn heads on the go.
