BTS for Smart vs BLACKPINK for Globe: Telco Battle in the Philippines

BTS-SMART-BLACKPINK-GLOBE


K-pop continues to rule the world this 2021! Be it in fashion or technology, surely the k-pop idols can be considered as the best influencers. The two biggest telco companies here in the Philippines recently partnered with the two popular k-pop groups for their ad campaigns. 

Smart Communications, Inc. chose BTS for their "Live Smarter, Live with Purpose" 2021 campaign while Globe signed BLACKPINK to headline their "Reinvent Your World" campaign.

For sure, fans were delighted to support their idols. Now, I wonder if the newbie DITO will also get a K-pop endorsement for their launch this March.

Just when you thought you saw everything Mario known to mankind...I happened to cross along these Mario products sold in ThinkGeek . 1. Super Mario Solar Mushroom Normally mushrooms grow in the dark but this special golden mushroom is an unusual species that seems to love the sun. Place it on your desk or windowsill, apply a slight bit of sun or other light, and it begins to bop back and forth. Watch it long enough and you're sure to start seeing some Yoshies right at the edge of your vision where they're kind of hard to spot. 2. Plush Mario Sound Bops With these Plush Mario Sound Bops peppering the course when we squint our eyes we can almost envision being in a real video game. Hit the plush Brick Block on the bottom and you get a coin sound from the game. Jump on the plush Goomba (or simply bop him on the head) and he makes the defeated Goomba sound... unless you bop him one too many and you get the "game over" noise. 3. New Super Mario Sound Drops Super Mario Sou...
