Smart also put up a hub along Upper Session Road which is open until March 10. At the Smart Hub, visitors can hang out, charge their phones, take photos, get premium items, and prepare their festival itinerary.
Festivalgoers planning their trips ahead can also download the Baguio Guide app, a collaboration by the city government, the Department of Tourism, Smart, and InnoPub Media. The app features information on must-try food and must-visit places in Baguio, as well as DOT-accredited tour guides and tour operators. It also has a directory of important contact numbers of hospitals, emergency units, and police stations.
The Smart Hub also gives visitors a chance to #ExplorePanagbenga by helping them plot their tours through QR codes that contain details on the best destinations in the city. Visitors can also enjoy their time at the hub by playing augmented reality games, and get limited edition souvenir items and photo printouts. Availing of a Smart LTE SIM with a Giga 299 data pack also gets them an opportunity to design their own festival souvenir item, which they can take home for free.
Smart also lined up a series of activities to heighten the Panagbenga Festival experience. Revelers can head on to Session Road on March 8 for a special Smart event, which features live acts, exciting booths, and fun activities. Those who are up for a party this weekend can proceed to The Camp, where they can enjoy drinks and dance music courtesy of some of the country’s top DJs and artists.
For the best Panagbenga experience, Smart subscribers are encouraged to upgrade their 3G SIMs to LTE and avail themselves of Giga data promos. Smart’s Giga99 with Video Every Day is valid for 7 days and allows users to enjoy 2 GB worth of data plus 1 GB per day for YouTube, iflix, iWant, NBA League Pass, and Cignal Play. They can simply dial *121# to register.
Mobile users can also capture their #SmartPanagbenga moments through the Leica dual triple camera of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, which they can avail of through Smart Postpaid plans.
As Baguio City honors its traditions and keeps its culture alive through the Panagbenga Festival, PLDT and Smart aim to contribute to these efforts by providing the best wired and mobile communication services in all parts of the Philippines.
