According to Sony Ericsson corporate vice president Hirokazu Ishizuka, “We launched the Spread the Smiles campaign in four markets—Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand,” he said, adding that over a two-day period, 3,000 smiles were collected in Indonesia, 20,000 in Malaysia and 10,000 in Thailand. And one million smiles in the Philippines,”
