Customers share joy after getting vivo Father’s Day gift


Father’s Day is a time to honor the everyday heroes in our lives - our dads. This year, vivo went beyond the usual promotions by surprising customers with special Father’s Day certificates when they purchased vivo smartphones. 

These small yet meaningful tokens of appreciation were warmly received by customers nationwide, turning ordinary phone purchases into unforgettable moments of gratitude.


Here are some of their stories:


Smoother life with vivo V50

From Barangay Lanit, Jaro, Iloilo City, 38-year-old Joenel Fernandez bought a vivo V50 and received a Father's Day certificate. “Napaka ganda ng Father's Day gift ng vivo, very satisfied,” he shared. 

Praising the ZEISS All Main Camera, 6000mAh BlueVolt battery, and smooth performance for social media and gaming, Joenel called the vivo V50 a perfect choice for tech-savvy dads.


Solid support for a solid vivo fan

25-year-old Jeslee Cortel from Dasmariñas, Cavite, bought a vivo Y29 with his wife and was delighted to receive a certificate and freebies. 

“Hindi nakakapagsisi ang quality,” he said, highlighting the phone’s 400% volume dual stereo speaker. A proud and loyal vivo user, Jeslee enjoyed not just the phone but also the thoughtful gesture from the 

brand.




Recognized and rewarded

For 58-year-old Alecks Micaller from Amadeo, Cavite, the vivo Y18 came with more than just specs and a Php 500 discount. It also came with recognition he felt he truly deserved. 
“I’m using it already to keep close to my family and friends, and watch movies also,” he said, appreciative of both the product and vivo’s excellent customer service.

Double the joy for father and son

Avegel Elmido, 38, from Indang, Cavite, felt like a winner after receiving a certificate from vivo. He bought a vivo Y18 for his son and took pride in its large storage and budget-friendly price. 
Meanwhile, he enjoyed free portrait shots with the vivo V50, making it an extra joyful Father’s Day.

 A daughter’s heartfelt gift

Not all heroes wear capes and 18-year-old Micha Rubala from Quezon Province knows this well. After buying a vivo Y04 for herself, she unexpectedly received a Father’s Day certificate, which he gave to her dad. “He is my 1st boyfriend, best friend, best man, best buddy,” she said. 
Micha appreciated the SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance feature of the Y04, which is perfect for someone who admits to being a little clumsy.

These stories reflect how vivo continues to connect with its customers on a deeper level. By simply including a personalized certificate, vivo turned a tech purchase into a moment of recognition, love, and gratitude. For many, this surprise added emotional value to an already satisfying smartphone experience.

PLDT Enterprise Boosts Transport & Logistics with Smarter, Stronger Connectivity Solutions

 


PLDT Enterprise is accelerating digital progress in the country’s transport and logistics sectors by delivering stronger, smarter wireless connectivity through Wireless Indoor Coverage.

Given the Philippines’ archipelagic geography and rugged terrain, many areas stand to benefit more from wireless connectivity solutions than from traditional wired infrastructure, making solutions like Wireless Indoor Coverage especially relevant in supporting the evolving needs of these industries.

“Reliable wireless coverage plays a critical role in enhancing communication across transport and logistics operations, from real-time SMS updates to clear voice calls and seamless data access. Whether inside warehouses, distribution hubs, or transit terminals, strong connectivity ensures accurate coordination, minimizes failed deliveries, and keeps customers informed every step of the way. This ultimately drives greater operational efficiency and boosts consumer satisfaction,” said John Gonzales, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise Consulting Services and Technology Management at PLDT Enterprise.

A Commitment to Transport and Logistics Innovation

PLDT Enterprise’s Wireless Indoor Coverage is about enabling transformation. By integrating wireless connectivity within vehicles and transit hubs, the solution supports the industry through:

Reliable connectivity on the move, enabling uninterrupted access to safety systems and communications as vehicles travel through different environments

Consistent, mobile-ready coverage that supports real-time safety features and critical system updates wherever the journey leads

Remote network management for vehicle fleets, ensuring timely security and configuration updates

Extended coverage into previously underserved zones, enabling consistent wireless connectivity in enclosed spaces such as bus depots, terminals, and vehicles where signal traditionally weakens

With wired internet still a challenge in some areas of the country, wireless broadband, particularly 5G, emerges as a powerful alternative in the meantime, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and wider reach to connect underserved areas and enable next-generation technologies.  

Given this, Wireless Indoor Coverage helps solve long-standing industry challenges in transport operations—such as ensuring timely SMS alerts (including OTPs), enabling reliable voice calls during emergencies, and maintaining strong mobile data signals for seamless access to navigation apps, dispatch systems, and cloud-based tools.

All these innovations and their respective benefits align with the broader nationwide effort to overcome digital barriers in infrastructure, as highlighted in recent reports on wireless broadband advancements in the Philippines.

Enabling Safety, Efficiency, and Growth for Long Routes and Regional Mobility

PLDT Enterprise’s wireless solutions are designed to keep fleets connected even as they traverse remote areas and regional boundaries. Whether managing cargo transfers between provinces or maintaining communication on extended delivery routes, the solution supports stable, secure wireless access that scales with the mobility needs of the country. 

This expanded reach reinforces PLDT Enterprise’s commitment to being the trusted network partner for nationwide transport transformation.

Moreover, by offering transport operators the ability to manage their wireless networks remotely via cloud platforms, the solution not only enhances operational continuity but also boosts cybersecurity and resiliency—key pillars in today’s security-sensitive landscape.

Driving Collaboration for Future Innovations

PLDT Enterprise envisions this initiative as a call to action for transportation companies, logistics operators, and public sector stakeholders to come together and reimagine how businesses move. 

“We invite industry players to collaborate with us in crafting wireless solutions that are tailor-fit for their specific environments and use cases. Connectivity should move with you—and with PLDT Enterprise,” Gonzales added.

Additionally, the foldable structure and magnetic enclosure case offer premium portability without compromising on comfort and design.

Call quality is noticeably improved through the use of six AI-based beamforming microphones per earcup, along with Sony’s proprietary noise reduction AI.

Inside, it’s armed with a Comprehensive Cushioning Structure to absorb impact like a pro. Paired with an impact-resistant clear case with reinforced corners, this device is ready for anything life throws your way.

Outside, it flexes with Shield Glass by SCHOTT, which is the same kind trusted in aerospace and automotive industries. It’s the kind of screen you’ll appreciate when your phone lands on a gravel road mid-bike ride.

IP64 water and dust resistance, just in case
