Globe brings services closer to Bohol with new pop-up store

The Globe Bohol pop-up store is now open at the Upper Ground Floor of Island City Mall in Tagbilaran Cit

Globe has opened a new pop-up store in Bohol to make it easier for residents and tourists to access mobile and broadband services right where they are. This is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to bring reliable connectivity closer to communities that need it most.

Bohol has seen a sharp rise in tourist arrivals this year, particularly in Panglao. February 2025 alone saw 70,458 guests, while total foreign tourist arrivals in the first quarter reached 110,253, a 7.3% increase from the same period in 2024, according to the Philippine Information Agency. With more people coming in and digital needs growing, Globe saw the need to provide faster, more convenient access to its services on the ground.

“We’re excited to serve the people of Bohol more directly,” said Chai Alano, Vice President of Channel Management Group at Globe.“This pop-up store is one way we’re bringing our services closer to the community. We want Boholanos and tourists alike to stay connected, whether it’s for work, school, or simply staying in touch with loved ones.”

At the Globe Bohol pop-up store, customers can get prepaid SIMs, apply for new mobile postpaid lines with or without devices, or renew their existing plans. It also offers broadband services and reliable internet to households and small businesses through GFiber Prepaid and Globe AT HOME, providing reliable internet to households and small businesses. For local establishments such as small hotels, cafés, and restaurants, fiber connectivity can support online bookings, enable food delivery services, and offer WiFi to guests, helping them attract more customers and cater to the growing number of tourists.

For mobile needs, the store offers prepaid SIMs that are well-suited for foreign visitors and digital nomads. These SIMs come with no long-term commitment and give users immediate access to data for social media, navigation, remote work, or simply staying connected while in Bohol. The store also accepts all forms of payment for bill transactions, making it easier for customers to manage their accounts.

Beyond setting up new services, the store is ready to assist with customer concerns, including service issues and technical support. It’s designed to be a one-stop shop for everything Globe, offering convenience, speed, and real-time support.

The Bohol pop-up, located at the Upper Ground Floor of Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City, is part of a broader effort to make Globe’s services more accessible nationwide, especially in areas experiencing rapid development and increased connectivity needs.

The company continues to show transparent progress against its ambitious sustainability goals, which include a 25% absolute carbon reduction across its entire value chain by 2030 and Net- Zero CO2 emissions across the entire value chain by 2050. The company’s SBTi-validated Schneider Sustainability Impact 2021-2025 (SSI) program acts as its roadmap, enabling sustainable progress, not just for Schneider Electric and its partners, but also for its customers and local communities.

This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of our operations and value chain contributes to a more sustainable world.”

The ranking evaluates a pool of 5,700 companies across 20 key performance indicators, ultimately naming 500 of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies. It assesses factors such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions and energy consumption relative to company size, emissions reductions, and the proportion of renewable energy used in operations. It also considers external factors, including sustainability ratings and commitments, corporate reporting practices, and environmental and social performance indicators.

Schneider Electric has also been named the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation 2025 by Corporate Knights and is the only company to rank first in its Global 100 twice. The French company has also been named Most Sustainable Corporation in Europe and in France by Corporate Knights.

Top 3 Reasons Why the realme 14 5G Stands Out as a Must-Have for Everyday Use

Whether it’s a packed weekday or a busy weekend, users need a device that’s durable, powerful, and built for convenience. This is where the realme 14 5G excels: it's a slim, stylish, high-performance, and reliable daily essential.

Measuring just 7.97mm, it’s light, easy to hold, and perfect for one-handed use. Available in Storm Titanium, Warrior Pink, and Mecha Silver, its Mecha-inspired design blends sleek edges with a modern finish that suits any OOTD.  

To demonstrate how it goes beyond the basics, realme highlights some of the core strengths that make the 14 5G a reliable choice for daily use.

Power That Starts Early and Stays Late

At its core is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 5G processor, which brings a 35% boost in GPU performance and a 15% increase in CPU speeds compared to the previous generation. That means smoother app launches, faster multitasking, and lag-free gameplay,  whether fans are editing a reel, hopping between social apps during commutes, or playing graphics-heavy games. Combined with GT Boost and AI Game Optimization, the phone responds instantly and holds steady even during high-pressure moments.

But what’s power if it can’t last? The 6000mAh battery offers up to 10.5 hours of gaming or over 90 hours of music playback on a single charge. And when it’s time to top up, the phone's 45W SUPERVOOC charging brings the battery back to full power quickly. Bypass Charging is also on board, reducing heat during charging, especially useful for gamers or digital hustlers who never unplug. 

Heat-Free, Lag-Free, Blur-Free

Multitaskers and gamers alike will appreciate the 6050mm² vapor chamber cooling system, paired with HyperTherm Graphite. It works quietly in the background, preventing overheating even during marathon sessions. With up to 26GB dynamic RAM and 256GB of internal storage, there’s space to breathe and speed to spare. And with all that room, there’s no better way to fill it than with memories (and creativity!). The realme 14 5G comes equipped with a 50MP main camera featuring Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and SuperOIS, delivering sharper photos and steadier videos in almost any scenario. 

Additionally, features like AI Snap Mode (for capturing fast-moving subjects), AI Eraser, and AI Clear Face enable direct photo cleanup in the gallery, eliminating the need for third-party apps.

Ready for Rain, Dust, and Rough Days

All those captured memories and stored files are housed in a device built to withstand more than just everyday wear.  It carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to dust, accidental splashes, and even high-pressure water. Whether capturing content in unpredictable weather or enduring daily spills and drops, it ensures your creative work stays safe, making it a durable companion for active and accident-prone users.

For fans seeking extra value, realme is offering a free pair of realme Buds T01 with every realme 14 5G purchase from July 19 to August 3. It’s a complete everyday package, all for P17,999.
