Rumor Debunked: TELSTRA Philippines is NOT Happening NOW.

A lot of rumors circulating on the internet about Australian telecommunications company Telstra. Where did it all start? Nobody clearly knows where exactly. It may be the Facebook status that has been going around about a new player in the telecommunications market in the Philippines. Or it may be because of the photo below of a building rumored to be Telstra Philippines’ HQ.



 

Rumor has it: Telstra will provide unlimited internet with infinitive speeds just because they can. Seeing this (below) screencap on facebook we still wondered about the legitimacy of information since Telstra DOES NOT have a Philippines Facebook page.



 

So to finally put an end to the rumors of Telstra Philippines, we went to Telstra’s official VERIFIED Facebook and Twitter pages and this is what they had to say:



 

Long story short: There is a discussion between Telstra Au and San Miguel Corporation but nothing has been finalized, no agreements made, no contracts signed and there is NO assurance when this agreement will happen or if it will even happen at all.

What do you think of this issue?

He was one semester away from graduating but he didn’t have money. So his friends did this!

Facebook user Jan Ray Parayno was a semester away from graduating from college—but he didn’t have the means to pay for his tuition fee.


His parents separated more than decade ago, and they have been financially struggling to keep him in school. His father was working as a foreman in Saudi Arabia, while his mother worked as a seamstress to make ends meet.



But an unexpected twist of fate happened. His father got into an accident and wasn’t able to work well. Their finances started to plunge, and there wasn’t enough money for his tuition’s down payment. he wasn’t worried at first, knowing that his school allows students to get their schedules before paying anything—thinking this would give his parents enough time to raise money. To his horror, the school required payment before getting his schedule first. He felt hopeless.



Fortunately for him, he had his friends who were willing to do anything to help him up. One of his friends, Aldrin, realized he had excess cash from his tuition fee and decided to give it to his friend. Aldrin then asked the others if they had any extra, and were willing to help their friend, Jan Ray.  One by one, his friends Mark, JL, ‘Totoy’, Nikko, Dong, Rick, Raffy and ‘Chuckling’ gave their extra cash. They were able to raise P1,665—just enough to get him through the down payment.

Jan Ray was so overwhelmed by his friends’ actions that he wasn’t able to say anything— but all his friends knew how thankful he was. He shares this inspiring story on Facebook, which slowly attracted many people willing to help him too.

Hard times will always reveal true friends.
