Globe honors fans with the ultimate Star Wars Celebration in honor of a decade of magic

Student winners and Globe Multi-Product Owner (customers with both Globe Mobile and Globe At Home accounts) winners enjoying the Star Wars Celebration in Japan as part of Globe’s 10-year collaboration with Disney.

Globe and Disney have been dedicated to providing top-notch entertainment to Filipino viewers for the past ten years. Globe has been bringing Disney stories to Filipino viewers since 2015. This has happened both in their living rooms and while they are on the go.

“For 10 years, Globe has from time to time brought the best of Disney storytelling to our customers through various initiatives and collaborations. This milestone marks our shared vision of delivering premium entertainment while rewarding our customers with rare and special treats. We look forward to creating more unforgettable moments for Filipino fans,” Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer, said.

Celebrating 10 years of working with Disney on various initiatives and collaborations this year, Globe is bringing even more exciting treats to customers – including the ultimate Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025.

As part of a promo held from February 24 to March 30, 2025, Globe flew two college students and their companions, as well as two multi-product subscribers and their families, to Japan.

The student winners joined through the Student Special Rewards promo on the GlobeOne app by redeeming just 1 Globe Reward Point. These lucky college students, together with a companion each, were treated to a five-day, all-expense-paid trip that included two admission tickets to the event. They witnessed iconic appearances by stars like Hayden Christensen and Pedro Pascal, explored Japan, and stayed connected through GoRoamJapan.

Meanwhile, the Globe Multi-Product Owner winners joined an exclusive promo open only to customers subscribed to both Globe Mobile and Globe Broadband. Two winners received an all-expenses-paid trip for four, covering roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, a welcome dinner, and three-day admission passes. Alongside their families, they immersed themselves in the Star Wars universe, enjoyed celebrity sightings, and brought home exclusive merchandise—all while sharing the moment in real time via RoamSurf4All.

Aside from Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, three more subscribers and their three friends or family members, will get a chance to visit Tokyo Disneyland for free, with airfare and hotel accommodation included.

All winners also received GoRoam Japan for seamless connectivity throughout their trip, which allowed them to share real-time updates and make the most out of their stay.

Meanwhile, Globe also provided their customers more opportunities to watch Disney’s theatrical releases throughout the year. Most recently, some customers received movie tickets for Captain America: Brave New World, Disney’s Snow White, and Marvel’s Thunderbolts* through the GlobeOne app. Globe also sponsored nationwide block screenings for student leaders. Upcoming titles include the live-action Lilo & Stitch, as well as Fantastic Four: First Steps, among others.

For those who prefer to watch their favorite stories from the comfort of their own homes, Globe also provides Disney+ access through the following offers:

  • Prepaid & Home Prepaid WiFi: Get Disney+ Basic (Php229 for 30 days, Php1,899 for 12 months) or Disney+ Premium (Php499 for 30 days, Php3,999 for 12 months).

Globe equips the upcoming generation of innovators, leaders, and change agents

Globe is actively supporting Filipino students by implementing programs that ignite passions, develop leadership abilities, and equip youth for a world that is changing more quickly than ever before.

Today’s students have a lot on their plate, including coursework, technology, social life, and self-discovery. Globe is aware that being a telecom in the modern day entails more than just sending out signals. It’s about joining a student on their path to finding their passion and constructing their future. Globe aims to assist students in discovering their hobbies and pursuing them without becoming overwhelmed by the crowd.

Students can participate in the Globe Community Builders Program in a variety of ways. Students can use the GlobeOne app’s Student Rewards to gain daily benefits and necessities. Students who have huge ideas can submit them on the Globe website through Globe Student Grants, and the most promising ones can collaborate with Globe to make their ideas a reality. Pupils can connect with mentors, propose their planned activities and initiatives, and become more involved in forming local communities. For individuals who are prepared to begin developing their professions early, internships are also offered.

One example of this in action happened in May when Globe organized the Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* led by the Marketing Youth Culture department. Student leaders from different high schools and universities were invited to special block screenings held in select Metro Manila, Nueva Ecija, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao cinemas. Apart from enjoying the movie, they were also given the opportunity to connect with Globe mentors and learn more about joining the Globe Community Builders Program, where they could take a more active role in leading projects, organizing events, and building their leadership skills.

“Just like the heroes we see on screen, every student has the potential to rise, lead, and make a difference. Through Globe Community Builders Program, Globe is here to champion their dreams and stand with them every step of the way,” said Andrew James Lim, Lead for Marketing Youth Culture at Globe.

Globe keeps going forward, reaffirming its position as a genuine partner for students, assisting them in discovering their voice, pursuing their interests, and creating a future they can be proud of. Because every student deserves support as they become the person they were destined to be.
