The holiday season shines brighter this year as Globe hosted the second installment of The Blueprint by Globe at The Globe Tower in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. With the theme “Lighting Up the Season with Purposeful Connectivity and Meaningful Connections,” the year-end event highlighted how technology, when crafted with genuine intention, can empower, uplift, and bring Filipinos closer together.

More than just celebrating innovation, Globe presented a vision of a digital future built on inclusivity, protection, and community empowerment. The Blueprint by Globe lays out how every product, platform, and service is designed with purpose—creating real impact for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the country.

Purposeful Connectivity for Every Filipino

Globe emphasized its growing ecosystem of solutions that support seamless, secure, and equitable digital access. From advanced 5G coverage and AI-powered experiences to intuitive tools designed for everyday convenience, the company showcased how innovation becomes more meaningful when it prioritizes people.

One highlight was Globe’s push for digital transformation among businesses. Through the Globe API Ecosystem, enterprise partners can access modern, secure authentication capabilities such as the GSMA-certified Number Verification API—opening doors for safer, more seamless customer experiences across various industries.

Globe also introduced Digitest, a digital maturity assessment tool that helps organizations measure their current digital capabilities and map out clear strategies for growth. These tools enable Philippine businesses to scale confidently, strengthen customer trust, and build future-ready operations that benefit entire communities.

Connectivity That Brings Us Closer—Wherever We Are

A key part of the program celebrated how Globe keeps Filipinos connected whether at home or abroad—especially during the holiday season when communication matters most.

Travelers can enjoy GoRoam, which allows them to “roam like a local” while abroad. Overseas Filipino Workers, on the other hand, can stay close to their families through the affordable Roam Kabayan 3-in-1 pack, offering call, text, and data bundles designed for cost-efficient communication.

At home, Globe At Home continues to elevate digital living through AI-powered partnerships that provide secure and seamless online experiences for the whole family.

Globe also highlighted the strength of its 5G network, recognized as the widest in the Philippines by Ookla. With faster streaming, smoother gaming, clearer calls, and real-time content creation, the company empowers young Filipinos to stay productive and expressive wherever they go. Through offers like Go5G TURBO 50 and Go+ 99 plus AI, Globe gives hyper-connected youth access to tools that enhance learning, creativity, and everyday entertainment.

Programs that Inspire Meaningful Connections

Beyond connectivity, Globe shared stories that reflect its purpose-driven mission to empower communities. This includes initiatives that support families, students, entrepreneurs, and changemakers across the country.

The Globe Student Program, developed with Filipino youth leaders, provides mentorship, digital literacy workshops, and real-world opportunities to over 30 million students nationwide. It equips young Filipinos with the confidence and skills needed to become innovators and community builders.

Meanwhile, the Globe Caravan brings essential digital knowledge directly to families and aspiring social entrepreneurs in underrepresented communities. Through hands-on sessions, participants learn how technology can open doors to livelihood opportunities and personal growth.

Globe also expressed pride in supporting the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup 2025, which will be hosted for the first time by the Philippines. With strong connectivity for delegates and heartfelt engagement for fans, Globe champions Filipino athletes while uniting communities in celebration of sportsmanship and national pride.

Globe of Good: Compassion in Action

The event concluded with Globe of Good, a platform that turns everyday digital activities into meaningful acts of kindness. Through the GlobeOne app, customers can donate their Rewards points to support causes such as disaster relief, hunger alleviation, education, environmental protection, animal welfare, and more.

Over 300,000 Globe customers have already joined this movement, contributing over ₱5 million in donations to partner NGOs—proving that even small actions can create life-changing impact.

Prepaid subscribers can also participate in GoGIVE, which automatically sends “hearts” to chosen causes every time they use mobile data. This year’s G-Gantic Goals campaign further united more than 150,000 customers in supporting various advocacies, from feeding rescued animals to providing digital tools for public school students.

Globe of Good beautifully encapsulates the heart of The Blueprint: progress that shines brightest when powered by compassion and collective effort.

A Season Lit by Purpose and Connection

“As we celebrate this holiday season, The Blueprint by Globe highlights how technology, when purposefully designed, can spark meaningful connections and empower communities,” said Darius Delgado, Chief Commercial Officer at Globe. “We believe in purposeful connectivity—where every initiative helps enrich Filipino lives.”

With its powerful blend of innovation, empathy, and community-focused initiatives, Globe continues to shape the Filipino digital lifestyle. The company’s efforts ensure that during the most connected season of the year—and beyond—every Filipino has the chance to enjoy purposeful, meaningful, and empowering connections.

Digital innovation and connectivity drive resilience amid challenging conditions

Globe Telecom, Inc. reported consolidated gross service revenues of ₱121.7 billion for the first nine months of 2025, slightly lower than the ₱124.0 billion recorded in the same period last year. Despite inflation easing and improved household spending, the company faced a challenging environment brought by strong industry competition and the economic impact of recent typhoons.

However, Globe demonstrated resilience and recovery momentum, posting ₱41.5 billion in revenues for the third quarter — a 3% quarter-on-quarter increase, marking its fastest sequential growth in 13 quarters. This solid rebound highlights the company’s adaptability and continued digital leadership in the evolving telecommunications landscape.

Mobile and Data Lead the Way

Globe’s mobile business remained the main contributor to overall performance, generating ₱86.2 billion in revenues as of end-September 2025. Mobile data revenues surged to an all-time high of ₱74.0 billion, reflecting Filipinos’ growing reliance on apps for messaging, entertainment, and digital transactions.

The company’s mobile subscriber base expanded to 63.1 million, up 5% year-on-year, while mobile data users rose to 37.8 million. Data now accounts for 86% of Globe’s total mobile service revenues, underscoring the country’s deepening digital engagement.

Average mobile data usage remained steady at 15 GB per month, boosted by higher 5G adoption and improved network experience. Globe’s consistent investments in network infrastructure helped sustain this growth, ensuring reliable connectivity for millions of Filipinos nationwide.

Home Broadband Shows Fiber-Driven Growth

Globe’s home broadband segment posted ₱17.8 billion in revenues for the first nine months, with a notable 4% quarter-on-quarter growth in Q3 2025. The shift to fiber connectivity continues to accelerate, with fiber now accounting for 91% of broadband revenues — up from 86% a year earlier.

The GFiber Prepaid (GFP) service, in particular, has been a standout performer, reaching 700,000 subscribers by September 2025 — a 28% jump from the previous quarter. This rapid growth underscores Globe’s success in making high-speed internet more accessible to Filipino homes.

Complementing this, Globe launched the Globe At Home 5G Loop, a first-of-its-kind innovation offering fiber-like speeds with a portable and plug-and-play setup — enabling seamless connectivity both at home and on the go.

Corporate Data and Digital Solutions Rebound

Corporate data revenues reached ₱15.0 billion, a 3% year-on-year decline due to slower enterprise spending. Yet, the third quarter showed a 13% rebound, driven by increased demand for digital transformation solutions such as cybersecurity, IoT, and data center services.

This shift aligns with Globe’s strategy to evolve beyond connectivity, offering technology-driven services that help businesses thrive in a digital-first economy.

GCash and Digital Platforms Strengthen Performance

Globe’s fintech arm Mynt, the parent company of GCash, remained a strong contributor to growth. Globe’s equity share in Mynt rose 52% to ₱5.3 billion, now accounting for a quarter of the company’s total net income before tax.

GCash continues to dominate as the country’s #1 finance super-app, serving millions of users in the Philippines and abroad. With services spanning payments, credit, insurance, investments, and sustainability initiatives like GForest, GCash is reshaping financial inclusion for Filipinos.

Cost Discipline and Strong Financial Standing

Globe’s EBITDA reached ₱64.2 billion, maintaining a strong margin of 52.8% through effective cost management. Operating expenses decreased by 3% year-on-year, driven by lower marketing and staff costs.

While net income stood at ₱17.7 billion, down 14% year-on-year, Globe’s balance sheet remains solid, with total debt at ₱253.5 billion and leverage ratios comfortably within covenant thresholds.

Capital expenditures were trimmed to ₱31.4 billion, a 23% drop from last year, reflecting Globe’s focused investment strategy. About 89% of this spending was directed toward data-related projects, including 1,375 new cell sites, 8,699 upgraded sites, 60,193 fiber lines, and 877 new 5G sites nationwide.

By September 2025, Globe’s 5G coverage reached 98.7% of Metro Manila and 98.3% of major cities across Visayas and Mindanao — ensuring faster and more reliable connectivity for users nationwide.

Driving Digital Inclusion for a Better Philippines

“Our third-quarter results underscore Globe’s consistent performance and ability to create impact beyond connectivity,” said Carl Raymond R. Cruz, Globe Telecom’s President and CEO. “Our mobile and broadband segments continued to grow, while enterprise and fintech platforms strengthened our long-term value creation.”

Cruz emphasized that Globe remains focused on customer experience and innovation, seeing B2B growth as a key driver for future expansion. The company continues to invest in world-class connectivity and technologies that support a digitally empowered and inclusive Philippines.

As the digital landscape evolves, Globe’s sustained focus on innovation, connectivity, and financial inclusion reinforces its role as a nation-building partner. Through its network advancements, fintech leadership, and strategic cost management, Globe continues to connect more Filipinos to opportunities — empowering communities, businesses, and the nation to thrive in the digital age.

Launched earlier this year, the “Ka-CEO” Program offers knowledge about a wide range of tools, strategies, and business methodologies designed to uplift entrepreneurs by fostering innovation, resilience, and global competitiveness across the country.

CVM Pawnshop President Paul Cancio said “We were inspired by the vision of the Department of Trade and Industry to strengthen MSMEs by enhancing their resilience, aligning with national development goals, and driving transformation through digital and regional collaboration”.

Guided by the company’s purpose of Bridging Hope and Prosperity for the Filipino, Cancio emphasized, “We are committed to infusing the same level of dedication and excellence that defines our financial services into the “Ka-CEO” Program, to empower entrepreneurs to thrive and ultimately help build our nation”.

Partners in Advancing the Economy

Aside from serving as a capacity-building initiative, the program series also functions as a valuable networking platform for entrepreneurs across the region. To date, CVM Pawnshop’s “Ka-CEO” Program has reached micro-entrepreneurs in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, Lucena City, Lucban, Quezon, Plaridel, Bulacan, Bacolod City, Iloilo City, Davao City, and Cagayan de Oro (CDO) City.

Several partners including those from the national government, local government units, private sector, non-profit organizations, faith-based groups, and even individual professionals, have come together to collaborate for the “Ka-CEO” Program to drive inclusive growth and community empowerment.

CVM Pawnshop’s “Ka-CEO” Program partners include the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and its Cagayan de Oro City office; the Business Permits and Licensing Office and the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office of Lucena City; BPI, BPI AIA, and BPI Agency Banking.

HH General Manager Genevieve Diokno, and Business Development Manager Elyse Go emphasized the importance of creating opportunities and spaces where every Filipino is empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive.

Hand and Heart offers a diverse range of services aimed at fostering inclusion and empowering PWDs. These include Sign Language Classes, Disability Sensitivity Awareness Workshops, Job Coaching, Interpreting Services, and Inclusion Workshops.

The said “Ka-CEO” Program featured merchandise by the Heart and Hand Shoppe, a social enterprise that showcases products crafted by PWDs. Proceeds will go directly to funding the creation of a new Hand and Heart School, dedicated to providing education and skills training for community.

Staying true to its core mission of Bridging Hope and Prosperity for the Filipino, CVM Pawnshop employs four regular deaf team members and is set to welcome 11 more Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) into its workforce. This milestone was made possible through the invaluable partnership and guidance of Hand and Heart.

Throughout the nationwide capacity building series, topics discussed span a wide range of themes, including entrepreneurship and business development, digital marketing and social media, financial literacy and wellness, operations and productivity, skills training and livelihood, values-driven and people-centered leadership, as well as market access and MSME support.
