VALENCIA CITY, BUKIDNON – In commemoration of Talk ‘N Text’s 9th anniversary, the said prepaid GSM service, considered the Philippines’ second largest, will bring its “Gaaniversary” activities to Valencia City, Bukidnon, Mindanao.
“We are happy to bring the Talk ‘N Text Gaaniversary celebration to Valencia City, and we are excited to continue contributing to the vibrancy of this area,” said Steve Alcoseba, SMART head for sales in the Visayas and Mindanao.
The Talk ‘N Text Gaaniversary activity is a yearly series of merrymaking held in different places in the country to let hardworking Filipinos and their families take a break and have fun together. This year’s series, dubbed “Talk ‘N Text Gaaniversary: Ikaw ang Bida”, kicked off last March 28, 2009 in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
On Saturday, April 25, 2009, at the Valencia City Oval, it will be the turn of the people of Valencia City to be treated to various games, free services such as haircut and massage, the opportunity to purchase affordable grocery items at discounted prices and to a variety show featuring Rufa Mae Quinto, Vhong Navarro and Tuesday Vargas.
Talk ‘N Text subscribers just need to load at least P15 to join any one of the games at the Oval. Load P30 and Talk ‘N Text subscribers get free access to all the games plus a chance to win in an exciting raffle.
Non-Talk ‘N Text subscribers just need to buy a brand-new Talk ‘N Text SIM for only P30, then load P30, for access to all the games and a raffle stub. Buy a Talk ‘N Text SIM and load P15 for access to any one of the games.
Mindanaoan will be there as photographer of the event! See you in Valencia City, Bukidnon on April 25, 2009 for the Talk ‘N Text Gaaniversary event!
