The Philippines was ravaged by Typhoon Sendong leaving more than 1,000 dead. Relief operations are on-going and we’ve seen a lot of private individuals and companies pitch in. I’m happy to let everyone know that Research In Motion (RIM) also helped out by donating Php1,000,000 and 30 BlackBerry Smartphones to the Philippine Red Cross.
Thank you RIM and we’re hoping that you guys come back with a vengeance in 2012-2013!

Received a press release from RIM announcing that they’ve sold 70,000,000 BlackBerry Smartphones already. That’s… a lot. ^^; Anyway, to celebrate this milestone they also released a promotional video with some inspirational stories. Check it out below.

Azkals’ Phil Younghusband is BlackBerry’s endorser for this Philippines. If you check the official BlackBerry YouTube channel you’ll see a video of him talking about how BlackBerry Messenger is so important for him. See below for the video.

Just got exciting news from RIM’s PR Agency here in the Philippines. They finally decided to launch their official Facebook Page here in the Philippines and they’re calling it BlackBerry Pilipinas. The page is supposed to deliver the latest news, updates, and events to everyone in the BlackBerry Filipino community. I already liked their page, hope you guys do so too!
