Smart hypes Dinagyang 2020

MANILA, Philippines — Consistent with its tradition of providing the best festival experience, mobile services provider Smart has upped the game yet again for locals and tourists who celebrated the recent Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo.

Powered by the Philippines’ fastest mobile network as certified by internet testing leader Ookla, Smart enabled locals and tourists to bring the Dinagyang experience to other parts of the country and the rest of the world—through the seamless livestreaming of the Grand Parade, and real-time sharing of photos, videos, and stories of the colorful celebrations on social media.

As this year’s co presenter, Smart has also teamed up with the local government to serve the digital needs of the festivalgoers, locals and organizers. This includes providing super speed connectivity via Smart WiFi in all judging areas of the Dinagyang Festival, particularly in the areas of the Freedom Grandstand, Iznart-Solis Street, Valeria-Ledesma Street, and Ma. Clara during the weeklong festivities.

Smart subscribers enjoy Giga Stories, which comes with Free IG+FB for All.

Apart from reliable connectivity, Smart powered Viva Music Festival 2020—the biggest dance and music festival at Iloilo Business Park of Megaworld, Mandurriao, Iloilo City last January 24 to 25. The music fest featured bands like Slapshock, Valley Chrome and Typecast and country’s fave DJs DJ Ace Ramos and MC Pao, Jett Boado, Motherbass, and Nix Damn P together with local DJs Jason David, Ivan Jucaban, CJTanoy, Arvin Ong and MC Lloyd!

Meanwhile, TNT joined the festivities by bringing indie rock band IV of Spades at the TNT Saya Fest.

With the theme, “Explore Dinagyang,” Smart also inspired attendees to immerse in the local culture, take in the colorful sights and sounds, and amplify these moments by sharing with friends and loved ones. Sharing the best festival moments was made even better and easier with free IG+FB for All with Giga Stories. All festival-goers were able to elevate their stories at the Smart hub where they can curate and personalize their stories content and IG-worthy photos.

Smart subscribers score free perks and swags at the Smart Hub, a go-to spot to curate content, take IG-worthy photos with friends, and share stories powered by Smart Giga Stories.
