Valentines Day: Grabe talaga magmahal ang Globe
Practically nothing happened at the NTC today Valentines Day. Indeed, grabe talaga magmahal ang Globe.
Globe lawyers said that Globe’s chief executive officer Gerry Ablaza has yet to make a decision on issue. They also said that Ablaza is still in Barcelona, Spain for the GSMA conference and will return only later this week.
NTC Commissioner Abraham Abesamis and Deputy Commissioner Jorge Sarmiento are also in Barcelona for the same conference.
The other deputy commissioner presided over the meeting by his lonesome and was in a bad mood that was unconducive to the “negotiations”.
Globe lawyers also said that they will have a formal reply to our offer by Feb. 20, the deadline set by the NTC.
The “meeting” lasted only 30 minutes.
We expect not only a formal reply from Globe on Feb. 20, but more importantly a decision by the NTC, as per the assurance of Commissioner Abesamis.
We thank Jhay and members of Kabataan Partylist for joining the convenors today.
Rest assured that we remain steadfast in fighting for our rights as consumers.

typical,barefaced, shameless delaying tactics. Globe is probably wining and dining the NTC commissioners in Barcelona. Looks like it’s all up to us. Let’s continue the boycott!!!
hreynes / February 14th, 2007, 5:31 pm
Dapat na tayo magrally!!! Dapat humingi na tayo ng tilong sa mga running politicians!!!! Hay nakakainis na talaga!!! Delayed nalang ng delayed!!! Wala rin little lng ang effect ng BOYCOTT..maraming mayayaman na hindi nagboboycot. RALLY NA TALAGA ANG DAPAT!!!

We hope that gagawa ng paraan ang TXTPower. Insult ang ginawa ng NTC at Globe. Wag kayong magpatalo!!! We have little chance if we just rely on the web campaign. Go!!! make real campaign or other ways!!

Hay TXTPOWER sayang lang ang paghihintay nyo jan!!! We are like sitting ducks!!! Pinapaasa lang kayo ng Globe sa wala at pinapaikot lang kayo ng Globe at NTC habang pinapatagal nila ang issue. Hanggang web nalang ba ang kaya nyong gawin? Post kayo ng post na somehow hindi nmn effective…Do something!!! Protest and rally will do…Sayang lang ang mga plotform ng mga running politicians kong hindi kayo hihingi ng tulong!!! Do a wide protest and rally!! Napahiya na kayo at ininsulto ng NTC at Globe hindi pa kayo kikilos???????????????????????????????????????????????

Hay txtpower as we sed GLOBE MANAGEMENT IS ARROGANT AND GREEDY FUCKING BITCH. Hnd nga natakot sa 2 ordrs ng NTC sa inyo pa kya? Ska kng gusto nlang ibalik ang rates hnd nla papatagalin ng ganito dba? Pnapaikot lng kayo ng Globe at NTC!
rollen / February 14th, 2007, 9:24 pm
Tama c rollen. Ang lakas nga ng loob ng Globe na sabihn sa news papers na illegal ang 2 ordrs ng ntc at hnd sla natakot. Ang lakas din ngloob ng globe to advertise its unlitxt kht alam nla na hnd nasisiyahan ang mga subs at hnd mamangha ang smart at sun kc
jobert / February 14th, 2007, 9:34 pm
15million subscribers and only 5T+ have signed the petition. we need to spread the word around. Tinka and I can start the ball rolling in Cebu.
Gagawa kami ng awareness campaign dito. Sa tingin ko “a few million subscribers” will make Globe notice.
hreynes / February 14th, 2007, 9:39 pm
Alam nyo kng ano reaction ng Globe management ngaun? Pnagtatawan tau! We are like BEGGARS for thm waiting 4 nothng. Hnd ganyan kadali iconvince ang Globe to rollback. We are waiting for a DAMN not a solution!
rollen / February 14th, 2007, 9:46 pm
15 milion? 10 milion lng po ang globe subs! D rest of 15.7 are TM subs! Thr4 10M+ lng ang nkaglobe. At hnd pa nabawi ng globe ang peak globe users last 3rd quarter of ‘05 na umabot 12M. Bumaba ang globe handyphone users Q4 of ‘05 dhl sa unli ng smart.
rollen / February 14th, 2007, 10:02 pm
Try to visit www.globe.com.ph. Try to see 2005 3rd quarter and 2005 4th quarter SEC reports ng globe. Jan mo mkkta kng pano pnabagsak ng Smart ang globe handyphone users. Frm 12M+ to 9M+ nlng during 4th quarter!
rollen / February 14th, 2007, 10:04 pm

lumipat nlng ng network. kung bumagsak ang bilang ng kanilang subscribers noon dahil sa unlimited promo ng samrt, babagsak sila ngayon sa sariling promo!
aRC / February 15th, 2007, 4:20 am
Guys bago tayo lumipat ng networks let us give MEMORABLE NIGHTMARE to Globe…Come on guys basta nalang ba kayo lilipat ng networks na walang ganti? Wala tayong JUSTICE!!!!!!
jobert / February 15th, 2007, 8:26 am
Tell your friends about Globe greediness. Marami na ang lumipat ng networks dahil sa hatred sa Globe. We are betrayed…Pati pala ang TM nila tumaas na rin ang rates? How greedy na ang Globe!!! Sabi nga ng WIKIPEDIA ang TM para sa mga blue collar job workers!!! Ganon ba? Pangbig time na ang TM ah…Bigatin!!
jobert / February 15th, 2007, 8:32 am
They are employing the DELAY TACTIC so that we will get bored.
If Globe’s CEO Gerry Ablaza, NTC Commissioner Abraham Abesamis and Deputy Commissioner Jorge Sarmiento are out of the country then why did they schedule the meeting for that day? I’m sure some time back they already knew that they will be unavailable that day.
me / February 15th, 2007, 9:03 am
It’s a sad thing to know na parang naghihintay lang tayo sa wala. Delay nalang palagi…We are seemed so hopeless and helpless to have our desired JUSTICE
jobert / February 15th, 2007, 9:53 am
february 20 would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back… up to that date lang mga ka txtpower…
pipo / February 15th, 2007, 12:17 pm
Hn. Di na ako aasa ng 20. Bakit pa? Activate ko na lang yung smart ko ulit. Wala nang kwenta globe. Kaya nga ako lumipat ng globe is because of unlimitxt, and now, since my classmates have switched, balik na lang ako sa dati. Hay.
Ai-Lin / February 15th, 2007, 2:26 pm
Yaks super inggitero ang globe! Sla rin pla nagpatigil ng mga promo ng smart like ALL DAY TEXTING + 5 MIN CALL, UNLI40, UNLI30, smart flatrate at iba pa! Ipinatigil nla sa ntc! Kaya pla ayaw gayahin ng globe kc ayaw nla magoffer ng afordable services!
rollen / February 15th, 2007, 4:13 pm
Dont worry guys globe’s doom ay malapit! Tingnan lng natin. Smart at Sun sim bases will soar up! Tingnan lng natin. Globe is worthy to be hated by its subs. Niloko tayo and never na tayong magtitiwala ulit! Go guys make the Smart move or switch to sun
rollen / February 15th, 2007, 4:24 pm
Sabi ko na nga ba… delay delay delay… hanggang mawala na yung issue sa public eye. lets not let this happen… Lagi nalang pinapayagan ng Pilipino na manalo ang maypera… not this time.
neolanzer / February 15th, 2007, 5:16 pm
let’s not confine our discussions here, go to your favorite chatrooms, groups like friendster, tagged, etc and spread the word around. di kelangan mag physical rally sa kalsada. kung alam lang ng karamihan ng mga may TXTPower pala at responsible consumers like us, tingnan nyo lolobo ang membership ng txtpower at lolobo din ang signatories ng petition. then we will have strength in numbers.
i already sent emails sa mga local dailies dito sa Cebu.
