What happened to Globe on the Day Pacman Won?

I don’t know if this happened nationwide (certainly it happened in Visayas; Dumaguete, Cebu, Iloilo in particular), but I was totally pissed when Globe users got “disconnected” on the day Manny Pacquiao won. They should have earned some “peso” there since lots of users will definitely text each other to affirm the victory of the whole nation (sob sob). What happened there? I got interesting conspiracy theories to why this had occurred.

1. It was obvious that Pacman is a Smart endorser (see advertisements), and the Globe people decided why not boycott the news scattering by disconnecting their users.
2. In light of theory #1, since they are anti-Pacman, they bet on Larios to win. Obviously, they lost therefore as a form of sourgraping they punished their users. Not a nice move.
3. They went into upgrading their system on that day since people will be too busy watching the fight (till midnight through replays) and forget about texting. Not a bold move again. Not all people are boxing fans or into bandwagon.
4. Since it is Pacman day, they made an agreement with Smart to make it All-Smart Day in recognition of Pacman’s triumph. What-da-f*ck!!!
5. Globe people were busy strategizing on what to do after seeing the Smart logo on Pacman’s boxing shorts. They were plotting market options and plan B’s and while doing this they forgot to put its users back into “connection” mode.
6. They killed themselves after losing Pacman to Smart as their endorser for the reason that Pacman is either “makamasa, cheap, not classy” or his too expensive for them to buy. I think it is the former; they are not yet ready to cross into Jologs world and be proud to be one.
7. Globe is still an elite group of smartass kikays, I quote a friend, who still aren’t into non-English speaking Filipinos, even if they’re Manny Pacquiao. Damn you coños!

I have been a Globe user for six years now. This is the first time I have felt abuse
