The Iconic PLDT Ad ‘Suportahan Ta Ka’ Gets a Real-Life Sequel

     Love communicated is love received. In these times when young adults have so many choices in their careers, a parent’s support means the world to them as they begin to lead their own lives. Open and loving communication has always been the message of PLDT. Remember the iconic tagline “Suportahan Ta Ka” from the 2000s TV ad? It’s making a comeback on PLDT’s 95th anniversary campaign.

     From the Suportahan Ta Ka TV ad produced by Ace Saatchi & Saatchi, actor and model Christian Vasquez played a young medical student who asked for his dad’s permission if he could shift his degree to Fine Arts. As he confessed his plans, his doctor dad said, “Kung saan ka masaya ti, suportahan ta ka [Whatever makes you happy, I’ll support you!].” This one line immediately became a hit in the 2000s.

PLDT Home x mWell Health Pass

     If there’s one helpful lesson that the pandemic has helped reinforce on a bigger, more alarming scale, it’s that people should be more cautious of their health no matter the season. Even in the post-pandemic era, people should constantly get themselves checked and track their health in all aspects.

     A recent study by research institute Capstone-Intel Corp., however, found that only 40% of Filipinos go to the doctor to get checked regularly, and 33% only do so when they fall ill. This rate doesn’t bode well for many people’s health, especially with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and the like common to Filipinos.

When they finally called my name, honestly, I just felt like all the hard work paid off. When you’ve dedicated your whole life and everything for that moment to happen, mapapabagsak ka. I actually bent over because of relief, happiness, and gratitude.” 28-year-old Michelle will represent the Philippines at Miss Universe in El Salvador in November.

     She is the finest fit, even PLDT Inc. Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan himself said upon meeting her, along with the other Miss Universe Philippines queens at a PLDT and Smart exclusive meet-and-greet with executives and employees at Ramon Cojuangco Building in Makati City recently.

“We could think of no better woman to proudly bear the flag at this year’s Miss Universe pageant than Michelle,” Pangilinan said. “She is smart with her confidence and authentic with her advocacies. We at PLDT fully stand beside her. We have no doubt that she will be one of the strongest queens in the field, and that she will go very far.”

     In this fast-paced world, sending and receiving packages and parcels should be hassle-free. Time is essential, that's why we always choose reliable logistics solutions for our delivery. When shopping online became an important part of life during the pandemic, we often hear our family and friends musing about their delivery stories. Some of them are excited to receive their parcels while others are disappointed when no one is at home to receive them. Life happens, so I guess it's better to look for a place where you can just pick up your parcel if no one is going to receive it at home. 

     This also applies if you're an online seller. I know, it's frustrating when you are expecting your partner courier to arrive on the day of the pick-up date but no one came. Then you re-schedule it for another date, the rider came but you have an emergency to attend to. Isn't it ironic, don't you think? Son the solution to this is to look for a logistics partner for all things delivery. If you are looking for a drop-off and pick-up center for your parcels, then ML Moves of MLhuillier is your best bet.
