Globe brings back free Facebook

MANILA, Philippines – Mobile phone users never had it so good.

No others details were provided as of posting time.

Globe gave its over 36 million subscribers free access to Facebook on mobile phones for an initial period of three months.

On Friday, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Corp. (PLDT) Chairman Manuel V.

The press conference was held days after Pangilinan alluded to a “very important” announcement on his Twitter account.
