Being online is now second nature to many Filipinos living in today's
modern world as different sites and mobile apps available give them the freedom
to further express themselves - whether it is sharing their works, opinions, love
for art, music and everything else. We can share our fondest moments and spread
the fun with others using the Internet but it all comes with a huge digital responsibility
and reminded us to be mindful of what we post and how we interact with others online.
This is where Globe Telecom comes in with its recently-forged partnership with
mobile video creation and sharing app TikTok.
Globe Telecom has been leading the charge in giving Filipinos a richer
and more complete digital lifestyle experience and its partnership with the
world's leading short video platform that is taking the online universe by
storm literally boosted the telco's continuing efforts for better internet
empowerment for every Filipino user. Creators can unleash their imagination and
set new boundaries in capturing their favorite moments online by creating
unique short videos on TikTok complete with an amazing bevy of effects and
stickers and eventually share them with their friends and loved ones across the
globe.
The Globe-TikTok partnership allows more Filipinos to enjoy the short
video creation app and share their fondest moments in their own way possible
through worry-free and value-for-money data promos. For starters, Globe prepaid
mobile subscribers can try out special standalone TikTok offers that are sure
to fit their needs. To register, text TIKTOK15 (100 MB for one day), TIKTOK50
(600 MB for 7 days), or TIKTOK199 (1 GB for 30 days) on their smartphone and
send it to 8080. Special promos will be offered to those registering to any Globe
Prepaid GOSURF or Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi HOMESURF promo in the coming months.
On top of these exclusive offers, Globe is holding an exciting contest
to its customers - the #CreateWithLove Challenge. Similar to previously viral
TikTok videos such as the Clothes Swap and Rotation challenges, users can get
in on the next trending topic with #CreateWithLove just by filming themselves
expressing their love for anyone or anything they're passionate about using
hand gestures, poses or animations and creating their own heart versions in any
way possible. They may then post it publicly on the Tiktok app using the
hashtags #CreateWithLove and #GlobeTikTok. Running until May 3, 2019, the top
five most viewed videos will win a handful of prizes including prepaid load
cards, Globe StreamWatch Xtreme Prepaid, discount vouchers from partner establishments
and exclusive TikTok merchandise plus special awards for those who will be
hailed as Globe Prepaid's Choice and Globe At Home's Patok of the Town.
On the other hand, Globe and TikTok are committed to the safety and
digital wellbeing of their users and customers. Under its #MakeITSafePH
campaign, students undergo a series of Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP)
workshops to help them understand how to be safe and responsible for their
daily online activities and were provided practical, easy-to-digest information
about cyber threats and their dangers. Meanwhile, TikTok improved its content moderation
system through a team of people from over 20 countries across the globe who
will monitor the posts and see if they are abided by the app's community
guidelines.
TikTok has also launched the Filipino version of its global safety
campaign dubbed #BetterMeBetterInternet in support of this year's Safer
Internet Day celebration. Furthermore, it has recently introduced upgraded
safety features for Filipino users such as better screen time management options
and filtering comments in either English, Tagalog or Cebuano. With these on
hand, Globe and TikTok's intriguing partnership is all about empowering
creators to be innovative in their own way when it comes to sharing precious
and important life moments to others aside from enjoying a safer and better
Internet experience for everyone.
