Dream It, Do It: BINI and Students #GoForIt with Globe

Globe is creating spaces where ambition meets opportunity, offering internships, mentorship, grants, volunteering, and youth-led events that spark inspiration. Globe recently launched their #GoForIt campaign with BINI, pairing eight student dreamers with the eight members of BINI, not just as stars on a pedestal, but as peers who know the same late nights, doubts, and pressures.

Together, they showed that dreams come in all shapes and sizes, whether it’s becoming a photographer, digital illustrator, model, journalist, scientist, game designer, or performer. From rocking the stage to creating the next big breakthrough, every path is worth pursuing.

 

“Globe not only connects people through a network, but through communities as well,” says Clareene, a Polytechnic University of the Philippines  student dreaming of becoming a digital artist.

 

One Beat, Many Dreams

BINI knows what it’s like to chase a dream that feels out of reach. From long training days to topping the charts, they have faced the same doubts and roadblocks as many students today.

 

“Kahit din may mga doubts kami nung una, since Globe believed in us, that allowed us to believe in ourselves,” shares BINI Aiah.

 

“‘Di kailangan magmadali para magwagi, buhay ay ‘di karera,” adds BINI Maloi, reminding everyone that life and dreams are not a race against anyone else, but a personal journey you take at your own pace.

 

These moments with BINI show that they’re not just stars, but young women who once dreamed like today’s students. Whether in music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth stands: no matter the dream, hold on to it, and go for it.

 

Globe’s Game Plan for Student Success

“It’s a lasting commitment, this is Globe’s promise to give young people the tools, skills, and support to turn ambition into achievement.  We empower today’s youth through the Globe Student Program, which connects classroom learning with real-world experiences. Students can explore opportunities to join special Globe events, volunteer initiatives, and exclusive student raffles designed to inspire and engage,” says Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer.

 

Beyond experiences, the program also unlocks Student Rewards on the GlobeOne app, where exciting perks await. From partners like Ayala Museum, Museo Pambata, beep™ card, Timezone, Jollibee, and more, students can enjoy discounts, treats, and learning experiences tailored just for them.

 

Simply search “Student Specials” on the Globe Rewards page in the GlobeOne app to discover offers tailored to students. Whether through reliable connectivity, learning platforms, digital tools, or mentorship, the challenge isn’t being alone, but being ready to Go For It!

 

The Rhythm of Ambition

Like BINI’s music, Globe’s message speaks to Filipino student youth from all walks of life. There is no single path to success, it starts with courage, grows with persistence, and flourishes when the right support is within reach. That is why #GoForIt is not just a message but a movement for every student, dreamer, and future leader to take their shot.

 

Different Dreams. Same Drive. #GoForIt with Globe.

Globe Supports Communities Affected by Typhoons Crising, Dante and Emong

Globe has stepped up its humanitarian response following Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as persistent rains brought by the southwest monsoon. Families across Luzon and Visayas received food and essential supplies through Globe’s ongoing partnership with Rise Against Hunger (RAH) Philippines.

Globe has distributed more than 3,000 food packs to support 1,050 families. These were delivered to communities in Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, Taytay, La Union, Bulacan, Tarlac, Nueva Vizcaya, Dasmariñas, and Biñan. The aid focused on ready-to-eat meals for displaced residents and those still recovering from widespread flooding.

“We know how quickly crises can upend lives,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer. “That’s why we work with partners to deliver immediate support where it matters most. We remain present where we’re needed, reconnecting communities and extending relief with empathy and care. Even as recovery progresses, our commitment to serve doesn’t stop.”

Globe’s work also includes restoring vital connectivity. Network services have now been fully restored in municipalities affected by recent typhoons.

To help residents stay connected, Globe also deployed Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging (LTLC) stations in areas with limited access to power or mobile service. These were activated in Antipolo, Taytay, several barangays in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Tanza, Imus City, and Gerona. The stations gave residents a way to reach loved ones and access critical updates.

Globe works closely with government agencies, local governments, and humanitarian groups to ensure fast, coordinated response. These efforts are part of the company’s long-term disaster resilience program focused on readiness, restoration, and recovery.

Customers who wish to support ongoing relief operations may donate to Rise Against Hunger via the GlobeOne app. For updates, visit globe.com.ph or follow Globe’s official social media channels.

When Wallets Get Tight, GCredit Makes It Right

Electricity, water, internet, groceries–every day, it feels like there’s always something new we need to pay for. Now that the school year is in full swing, daily allowances and baon groceries have become part of the weekly routine. And just when we think we’ve finally caught up, here comes the surprise gastos—plus with the holidays slowly creeping in, it feels like there’s always something new to budget for.

As much as we try to cover everything, there are times when our budget just isn’t enough, no matter how hard we try to save and budget our expenses. Sometimes, we just need a little help to get through the tough days, especially during Petsa de Peligro. Thankfully, with GCash, it’s now easier to manage bills even without a credit card and without needing to borrow money from friends and family.

GCredit - Your Trusted Financial Lifeline

If you’re a GCash user, you already have a solution at your fingertips. GCredit, powered by CIMB, gives you an always-ready credit line you can use to cover urgent expenses. The best part? It’s designed to be manageable, with a low daily interest rate of 0.17 percent—equivalent to just ₱1.70 for every ₱1,000 spent. You can also pay as little as 10 percent of your total due, giving you the flexibility to stay on top of expenses even while waiting for your next paycheck, bonus, or allowance.

Not sure where you can use GCredit? It comes in handy for everyday needs like:

• Bills Payments: When your electricity bill spikes or your payday doesn’t align with your water bill’s due date, use GCredit to avoid late fees and disconnections.

• Internet and Landline: When you need to stay connected, you can use GCredit to cover your bills and avoid disconnection, so you’re always in touch with family, work, and friends.

• Groceries: When prices rise or your budget falls short at the grocery store, GCredit helps you buy what you need so you never have to cut back on meals.

Make everyday spending easier with GCredit

With so many everyday expenses now payable through GCredit, GCash makes it simple to get through tough times with less stress:

• Low interest: Interest is only 0.17% per day, and the earlier you pay, the less interest you need to pay.

• Flexible payments: No need to pay the full amount right away. Just pay at least 10% of your total due, and you’re set.

• Borrow up to ₱50,000: Access your credit line directly from the GCash app– fast, easy, and convenient.

Before you use GCredit to manage your bills, make sure you’re an eligible user. On your GCash app’s home screen, tap on “Borrow” and look for “GCredit.” If you’re not yet eligible, the app will guide you on the steps to qualify. Users must also remember that GCredit is available to Filipino citizens aged 21–65 with a fully verified GCash account.

Once eligible, you’ll see your available credit limit. You’ll also receive an SMS to activate GCredit and be instructed to follow these steps:

• Confirm your email address

• Verify your personal details and other required information in the app

• Review and submit your application

Once you’ve completed the steps, you’ll receive a confirmation via email that your GCredit is activated, and you’re ready to use it for your day-to-day needs! Just remember to use GCredit responsibly–read the terms and conditions and make sure you have a payment plan in place.

With GCredit, you have a reliable safety net for both personal needs and family expenses. From electricity and water to internet and groceries, you’ve now got a fast and flexible way to stay on top of your bills with GCredit!

Globe champions safe and equitable workplace for all

The Globe community showing support for the LGBTQ+ community through Globe Pride Day

Globe remains steadfast in its commitment to building a workplace where everyone, regardless of gender identity, expression, ability, age, or background, feels seen, respected, and empowered to thrive.

At the core of Globe’s culture is a belief that diversity fuels innovation and compassion. The company’s ongoing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) efforts are designed not as one-off programs, but as an integral part of how Globe operates every day.

Globe fosters representation across gender, age groups, and ability. Women make up 44% of the organization, while generational diversity includes Gen Z (5%), Millennials (64%), Gen X (31%), and Baby Boomers (0.5%). Employees who have self-identified as Persons with Disabilities are also present within the company, affirming its commitment to building inclusive systems that allow all individuals to participate fully.

Recognizing the need for safe, supportive communities, Globe recently introduced Globe Inclusion Networks, employee resource groups that create spaces for connection and growth. These include the G Network, a women-led circle dedicated to promoting gender equality, and the Pride Network, a safe space for LGBTQIA+ employees and allies to share experiences, find support, and co-create a culture of belonging.

Across its offices, Globe nurtures awareness and empathy through inclusive learning sessions. In collaboration with the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP), the company has hosted discussions on SOGIE, transgender inclusion, and psychological safety in the workplace. Conversations around allyship, microaggressions, and inclusive language are regularly encouraged, making space for reflection, learning, and real connection.

(L-R): A fireside chat on inclusion, moderated by D&I expert Dawn Mendoza, with panelists LGBTQ+ advocate EJ Nacion, PFIP Board of Trustees Member and Vice-Chairperson Ian Fegalan, Globe Core Transport Planning Expert Lexy Aurelio, and Convergent Segments Strategy Manager Reg Capili

Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz, joined by Globe Pride ambassadors, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to inclusivity and respect by signing the PFIP Pledge of Support.

Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz reinforced this commitment by signing the PFIP Pledge of Support, an industry-wide affirmation of inclusive and respectful workplaces. “At Globe, we embrace intersectionality as the bedrock of our cultural strength,” said Cruz. “This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about making sure people feel safe, valued, and free to bring their whole selves to work, every day.”

Ivan Garong, Corporate Secretary and Trustee of PFIP, echoed the importance of this partnership: “This collaboration reflects how companies like Globe are driving real change by creating spaces where the LGBTQIA+ community is empowered, respected, and affirmed.”

Globe’s commitment is formalized in our Code of Conduct and to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Inclusion Policy Commitment, which affirm zero tolerance for discrimination and pledge respect and dignity for all. Globe embraces diversity in all forms, reinforcing the belief that these are not just statements, but the foundation of a future where no one is left behind.

This culture of care and authenticity continues to earn Globe recognition, including being named Employer of the Year by HR Excellence Awards in 2024 for the third consecutive year, a five-peat winner in HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work For in Asia-The Philippines Chapter, and an eight-peat winner for Top Workplaces in Asia by ACES Awards 2024. 

For Globe, inclusion is not seasonal. It’s a standard that shapes how the company works, leads, and grows with its people.

Globe Wins Big at Two Stevie® Award Competitions for Employer Excellence and Technology Innovation

Globe continues to solidify its standing as a future-ready employer and digital leader with multiple wins across two prestigious global award platforms—the 10th annual Stevie® Awards for Great Employers and the Stevie® Awards for Technology Excellence. These recognitions underscore Globe’s unwavering commitment to employee empowerment and technological transformation.

The company emerged as one of only three organizations to bag 14 trophies at the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, which honors the world’s top workplaces, HR teams, and people-centric initiatives. Simultaneously, Globe clinched a Silver Stevie Award for Technology Team of the Year under the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence, which celebrates groundbreaking achievements across the tech landscape.

“These awards reaffirm our status as an employer of choice and a technology-driven organization on the global stage,” said Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz. “We are and we will always be a premier destination for top talent in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.”

Excellence in People Strategy

Globe bagged two coveted Gold trophies at the Stevie® Awards for Great Employers, cementing its position as a global leader in people-first transformation. The Leading Transformation Award celebrated Globe’s agile and future-ready workforce model, while the Best Use of People Analytics honored how data is powering strategic HR decisions and long-term organizational growth.

These awards are the result of a deeply rooted belief that people strategy is business strategy. Globe has invested in reshaping the employee experience through data-powered transformation, a skills-first approach, and bold leadership development initiatives that scale talent with the future in mind.

“We are proud that the Stevie Awards recognized our people-first culture and placed our employer brand at par with global leaders in HR excellence,” Cruz added.

The company was also awarded:

• Silver for Achievement in Executive Development, Most Innovative Deployment, and HR Technology Innovation

Powering a Data-Driven Future

Globe won a Silver Stevie® for Technology Team of the Year at the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence 2025.

The winning nomination showcased three high-impact Data & Analytics initiatives led or supported by Enterprise Data & Strategic Services (EDS), in partnership with various teams across Globe:

• Next Best Offer (NBO) – by  Globe rewards team, Feel Valued Tribe, in collaboration with EDS.

• Customer Experience Management (CEM) Program – by Globe Customer Experience ,  Network Technical Group & EDS.

• True Modern Open Data Architecture – by EDS &  Globe Information Systems Group.

These initiatives reflect Globe’s strategic push to advance enterprise-wide analytics maturity, optimize performance, and improve customer outcomes.

A key milestone is the deployment of the Next Best Offer (NBO) engine, an AI-driven platform that generates 5 billion scores weekly and delivers 2.5 billion personalized offers twice a week. The platform boosted campaign efficiency by +304% and increased offer acceptance by 317%, clearly demonstrating the ROI of data-driven personalization.

The Customer Experience Management (CEM) Program—powered by the real-time Customer Experience Index (CEI)—enabled faster, more market-responsive decisions. This led to incremental revenue across 420 locations and helped reduce customer complaints by 20%. The CEI dashboard now facilitates hourly monitoring of network quality, trimming issue resolution times by 30%.

Meanwhile, Globe also became an early adopter of True Modern Open Architecture, implementing Apache Iceberg v2 in a cloud-agnostic environment. The transformation improved “Time to Insight,” cutting ETL execution time by up to 90% and yielding 84–93% cost savings. For instance, one use case showed a drop in processing time from 23 minutes to just 1 minute.

These innovations underscore Globe’s long-term commitment to becoming a data-smart, AI-enabled organization, where technology is not just a capability—but a competitive advantage.
