This year’s Independence Day was extra special for Filipinos in social media as TM treated them to TM Doble Dekada Tambayan LIVE Pinoy Fiesta, an energetic and star-studded online show to kick off the countdown to the brand’s 20th anniversary happening in September.
Excited fans tuned in to the TM Tambayan Facebook page as they welcomed its new ka-TMs — Seth Fedelin, Andrea Brillantes, and Alden Richards.
The fans’ kilig soared to the roof as the new ka-TMs took the virtual stage along with The Juans, SB19, Matthaios and Donnalyn Bartolome, Riva Quenery, and Parokya ni Edgar. They played some classic games in true Pinoy style, from fiesta vibes mukbang, bingo, to a banderitas relay race!
At the event, fans also got the first view of the teaser for the upcoming TM Doble Dekada music video, which will feature all the ka-TMs and the latest campaign anthem, Doble Dekada Sa Samahang Pina-Easy.
Kristelle Dizon, the VP for Consumer Mobile Business of Globe, said that despite challenging circumstances, TM tirelessly worked to make the grand celebration of its 20th year possible, to have a moment for Ka-TMs to come together, hence the TM Doble Dekada Tambayang LIVE Pinoy Fiesta. “Doble-doble man ang challenges, kering-keri natin ‘yan. Dahil ang Pinoy, ‘pag sama-sama, tulong-tulong, laban kung laban! Ang TM, always and forever, nandito at lagi ninyong kasama sa laban! (Our challenges may be double, yet we can carry on. For Filipinos, being together means helping one another and fighting as one. TM, always and forever, will be there to fight with you!)” added Dizon.

Alodia Gosiengfiao opens up about breaking barriers in the gaming industry
As mobile gaming and esports continue to gain massive ground in the country, realme Philippines aims to strengthen its position in the industry by catering to the diverse needs of mobile gamers and streamers. With this goal in mind, the country’s no. 1 smartphone brand for Q1 2021 teamed up with cosplay icon, entrepreneur and gaming royalty Alodia Gosiengfiao to further empower the local gaming community to capture infinite possibilities.
Having been in the gaming and cosplay industry since her teenage years, Alodia has managed to break through barriers and cement her place in this fast-growing scene. “I’ve always had the mindset that gaming is and should be for everyone,” shares Alodia. “When I started out, there were people who would tend to ‘gatekeep’ the industry based on what or who they think gamers should be. But despite that, I stayed true to my core and focused on my craft because this is something I’m truly passionate about,” she adds.
Since being part of the realme Squad in 2020, Alodia shares how realme’s wide range of quality tech products perfectly complement her day-to-day life. The flagship realme X50 Pro launched in December of last year has become a staple for her streams and gaming needs with its exceptional speed and 5G connectivity. In addition, Alodia shares how she appreciates that realme provides a full-circle digital experience with its growing range of AIoT products including audio products and wearables.
The rise of 5G infrastructure and its increasing access in the country ultimately set the stage for an enhanced experience for mobile gamers and esports enthusiasts. For Alodia, the 5G revolution opens up a plethora of possibilities in the industry. “I’ve always believed in the power of 5G. Not only does it allow for smoother gameplay and performance, but it also ensures reliable communication among players which is key to winning team games”, shares the realme ambassador.
As the leading smartphone brand in the country, realme is ready to lead the 5G race with its latest 5G game-changer, the realme 8 5G, which Alodia teased ahead of its official launch in her livestream last June 16.
“I’m really looking forward to the response of the gaming community with the launch of the realme 8 5G. I’m sure they will love it as much as I do,” shares Alodia.
