I have a weird feeling that someone wrote this in Filipino, then had someone else translate it into English, but was translated into another language before it was finally written in English again.

It’s how you write your future.” --Cal Harper

Philippines telecom company Globe Telecom is making landlines obsolete in a new television commercial for its Globe Duo service.
Created by McCann-Erickson’s subsidiary Harrison Communications, the advertisement portrays depressed fixed-line phones and mobiles running on a different, sub-standard network.
"We need to shake up the market. We have to fight the inertia consumers have about switching from their current cellphone service provider," said executive creative director Alex Arellano. "Everybody’s offering the same deals, the same price offs. Telco is becoming a commodity. The challenge is how to differentiate your brand from everybody else’s."
The Globe Duo service combines landline services with mobile, and offers unlimited landline calls. With other telecom networks not being able to compete on the same level, committing suicide out of jealousy and insecurity is apparently inevitable.
