PLDT TelPad’s latest APPgrade – TelMeHow

May 11, 2012 by

My kids are still singing Anna Banana, the song from the PLDT Telpad commercial that became such a huge hit, yet PLDT Telpad has already come up with a new equally catchy commercial. The newest commercial shows a young girl learning how to cook French cuisine and to speak French using PLDT Telpad’s newest app – TelMeHow. My kids have seen the commercial several times already and now my little girl wants to be a chef and to speak French also.

At the Prive Luxury Club at The Fort Strip last May 3, I was able to join PLDT execs, businessmen, media and bloggers during the launch of the new TelMeHow application on PLDT Telpad and got to try the new app firsthand. The stubs for the raffle draw included questions whose answers could be found using the PLDT Telpad TelMeHow app. Now, I’m one of the most non-techie moms you’d ever meet. Everyone else is on Android but I’m still holding on to Nokia OS in fear of having to familiarize myself once more with a new gadget. The PLDT Telpad though was quite easy to use and I managed to find the answer to the question using the TelMeHow app whose interactive graphic interface enabled me to access information with ease.
