All Out Surf with the Eraserheads

So much from the 90s pop culture, music, and fashion are making a comeback. I became a young adult in that era and I'm one of those who can appreciate the revival of some 90s trends like the grunge look, earthy matte lipsticks, and alternative rock music. And when it comes to Pinoy rock, the Eraserheads tops my list. They became so popular when I was in college and was even touted as the local Beatles of our generation. "Pare Ko", "Ang Huling El Bimbo" and "Ligaya" are just a few of their now iconic songs. Their last stage performance was in 2009, and just recently, SMART was able to bring them back together for a special private performance.

Download E-Books and E-Magazines from Buqo App with SMART

I haven't been able to regularly buy magazines for the past few years, mainly because I now spend more time in front of the computer. Thus, I get to read informative and entertaining materials off the internet, and also from my tablet and mobile phone. Good news for people like me, Smart Communications recently tied-up with Summit Media to offer subscribers easier access to e-books and e-magazines with Buqo app and pay with Smart!

I was actually excited to get the Buqo app immediately since I can now get copies of some of the Summit mags I used to buy, like Yes!, Preview, Yummy, and Good Housekeeping.  I simply charge it to my Smart postpaid account on an android phone.  It's that easy!  Have I convinced you yet?

First, what is Buqo?

Buqo is a mobile bookstore, newsstand, and reader app all rolled into one.
It's currently available for both Android and iOS users.

Sample screen shot - browse, choose, buy, pay with Smart

What I like about the Smart-Summit-Buqo collab:

• Quick and easy download of e-books or e-magazines via Buqo app
• Browse, choose a publication, add to cart, check
• Any Smart subscriber (currently for Android units) can easily download and buy Summit publications:
• Pay using Smart Prepaid load or charge to your Smart Postpaid bill - this is the best part, 'coz it's so convenient!
• No need for a credit card
• With Buqo, no need to lug around heavy books and magazines when on the road or traveling
• Read books and mags anytime, anywhere -- from a smartphone or tablet
• Access to top Summit Media publications, like: Yes! Magazine, Preview, Candy Magazine, Esquire Philippines, and more

How cool is that?! And there's more -- Smart will soon offer special rates and deals for books and magazines that will be exclusively available to Smart subscribers. Yey!!!

The Buqo mobile app with Smart operator billing is currently available for Android devices. 
Click here for a simple step-by-step: http://smart.com.ph/buqo.

Download Buqo app now! Buy your e-books and e-mags with your Smart load or bill and enjoy reading on your mobile devices.
