MANILA, August 4, 2015 – There are stars and there are volleyball superstars.
Today, PLDT HOME unravels the faces behind its ultra fun Ultera Barkada by presenting its brand new ambassadors that hails from the ranks of the country's top volleyball celebrities, all superstars in their own right.
Ultra-fast LTE brand PLDT HOME Ultera takes all out fun to another level with the launch of its new brand ambassadors: the talented and fun-loving volleyball players Alyssa Valdez, Jaja and Dindin Santiago, Rachel Daquis, Ara Galang, Mika Reyes, John Vic De Guzman and Peter Torres. Each of these young athlete-celebrities have been making waves in their field, with a fan base that multiplies by the day.
“I am so excited to officially represent PLDT HOME Ultera,” Valdez said. “I’m the type of person who goes all out in everything I do not just in court, but also at home with family and friends. I value moments where I can stay home and have fun with my three brothers and PLDT HOME Ultera lets us siblings go all out with movie marathons and video game play-offs.”
Multi-award-winning athlete Valdez is one of the country’s top volleybelles, the UAAP Season 77 MVP and the Shakey’s V-League 2015 Conference MVP. Joining her in the PLDT HOME Ultera family are “Twin Towers” Dindin and Jaja Santiago, who have each garnered impressive titles to their names from Shakey’s V-League 2015. They are close friends on top of sisters and even now that Dindin is married, they are still able to keep in touch and maximize their bonding moments with the help of PLDT HOME Ultera.
Among the skilled bunch is Philippine Super Liga 2015 Finals MVP Rachel Daquis, who comes from a close-knit family of seven people and is dedicated to being an ideal role model for her two younger siblings, niece and nephew. UAAP Season 75 MVP Ara Galang makes the most of her free time through movie nights with her parents and gaming with older brother. UAAP standout Mika Reyes spends time at home taking care of her younger siblings and catching up with relatives through social media.
Completing the Ultera barkada family are top male volleyball icons Peter Torres, who is constantly protective of his four younger siblings, and John Vic De Guzman, who cherishes karaoke nights at home with his mom and siblings. Not only do these ambassadors excel in their sport and at home, but they are all friends off the court, making them the perfect Ultera “barkada family” who epitomize all out fun through their bonding moments.
With existing partnerships with major volleyball leagues, PLDT HOME Ultera is a strong advocate of sports excellence among the country’s youth. It is thus more than fitting to strengthen the association of the country’s prominent volleyball players to the brand.
“This power roster represents what PLDT HOME Ultera is all about,” PLDT VP and HOME Marketing Head Gary Dujali said. “Each of them has gone all out in volleyball, rising to excellence through hard work and dedication. Now we’re showing a side of them that goes all out at home with family and friends. The Ultera lifestyle is about going all out in anything you do and we apply that mantra to our home-based Internet connection. When it comes to the Internet, some think that WiFi hotspots and Internet cafes are as good as it gets. But PLDT HOME Ultera offers ultra-fast LTE connection and affordable broadband to enable all-out fun at home so you don’t settle for anything less. Our Ultera barkada family embodies this message perfectly.”
