Music and madness welcome a new network, new phone!

It was a star-studded affair at the New Glorietta in Palm Drive last December as some of the country's top bands, artists, and performers took part in some music and merrymaking to mark two important milestones for Globe Telecom: the celebration of a faster and stronger Globe network in Makati and the midnight countdown to the best Christmas gift ever, the much-anticipated iPhone 5.

The new hip place at the heart of the Makati Business District was filled with over 3,000 spectators, eagerly waiting for the night's festivities, surprises, and celebrity sightings. Dubbed as "Pamasko ng Globe", the event was indeed the biggest Christmas present of Globe to its subscribers, which comprised of performances and greetings from the brightest stars, games, and raffle activities.

Honorable Makati Mayor Junjun Binay led the list of guests who graced the affair to celebrate the modernized Globe network in Makati. "Makati City can now look forward to crystal-clear calls, prompt SMS exchanges as well as super-fast data delivery on their phones and gadgets, even at peak times and critical business hours," said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO.

Adding glitz and glamour to the event are some of the country's premier artists and celebrities who entertained the crowd with their enthralling performances such as child stars Xyriel Manabat and Zaijan Jaranilla, bands 6CycleMind, Bamboo and Parokya ni Edgar, premier vocal group The Company, teenstars Barbie Forteza and Joshua Dionisio, balladeers Jed Madela and Christian Bautista, heartthrobs Dingdong Dantes, Paulo Avelino and Robi Domingo, hosts Cesca Litton, Nikki Gil, Billy Crawford, Rovilson Fernandez and Marc Nelson, mother and daughter tandem Zsa Zsa Padilla and Zia Quizon, actor and TM endorser Cesar Montano, and the Queen of All Media and newest Globe ambassador Kris Aquino.

"This is the gift of Globe to all of you, a brand-new network to strengthen ties, connect lives, and enhance relationships," enthused Kris, who, as a Globe subscriber since 1996, testifies to the bright future of Globe and its millions of subscribers with its massive network transformation program that will build a brand-new Globe network.

Further drawing excitement from the audience were the long list of raffle items given away such as gift certificates, overnight accommodations, out-of-town trips, home appliances, and gadgets. Videos from Globe endorsers such as Sarah Geronimo, Angelica Panganiban, Bianca Gonzalez, Gerald Anderson, Vice Ganda, Pokwang, and Coco Martin were also shown as they shared their fondest Christmas memories and greetings.

At the strike of midnight, sports icons and hosts Rovilson Fernandez and Marc Nelson, together with Globe Senior Advisor for Consumer Business Peter Bithos unveiled the newest iPhone 5, complete with fireworks and celebratory music much to the delight of the audience. Lawyer Atty. Leo Dominguez became the first Globe subscriber to experience the iPhone 5 from Globe under its innovative roster of genius offers.
