GGIVE PGH Rewards

Now, prolonged video chats, daily social media scrolling, and mobile gaming marathons may all contribute to environmental and social concerns to bring about meaningful change.

With GoGIVE, Globe Prepaid has made this a reality by giving young Filipinos a creative way to use their phones in the same way they already do, making a consistent and long-lasting impact. When subscribers use their mobile data for any online activity, they immediately receive hearts.

A wide variety of causes are supported by the hearts.

GoGIVE PGH Hearts

“We understand that today’s youth want to make a difference, but they need solutions that work with their lifestyle, not against it. GoGIVE easily integrates into everyday life, allowing them to be changemakers through the technology they love,” said Givielle Florida, Head of Globe Prepaid.

Since its launch in March 2025, GoGIVE has already generated an impressive 2.7 billion “hearts” from more than 37,000 contributors, and the numbers continue to climb as more people participate in this digital movement of giving.

Globe Prepaid is currently partnered with these advocacies:

• Expanding Digital Literacy for Underserved Women (Project PEARLS)
• Strengthening Support for Children In-need (World Vision Philippines)
• Sustaining the Fight for Forest Conservation (Philippine Eagle Foundation)
• Elevating Training and Research for Frontliners (PGH Medical Foundation, Inc.)
• Continuing Compassion for More Animals (The Philippine Animal Welfare Society)

With the successful completion of PAWS initial goals, GoGIVE is now focusing on amplifying support for our other crucial advocacies such as Project PEARLS, World Vision Philippines, Philippine Eagle Foundation, and PGH Medical Foundation, Inc.

To join, Globe Prepaid customers can simply download the GlobeOne app, click the GoGIVE icon, and select their preferred advocacy.

Globe’s dedication to sustainability and social responsibility is embodied by GoGIVE. It exhorts everyone to “Go Forward Together,” reminding them that even modest online actions can have a big offline impact.

Nowadays, a lot of Filipino houses and families have pets, and their welfare has grown equally significant. Through its cooperation with Pettr, the nation’s first all-in-one digital pet care platform, Globe hopes to make pet care necessities affordable for all Filipino pet parents. Globe is merging daily connectivity with pet wellness. Pet-parents may obtain the services they require by using its Go+99 offerings, which give users a ₱100 discount voucher for teleconsultations with registered veterinarians and other essential services.

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a non-profit, volunteer-based organization committed to sheltering rescued animals, preventing animal cruelty, and promoting the humane treatment of animals, is partnering with Globe to launch a number of pet-care initiatives. The first will be employee engagement programs like volunteer activities, donation drives, and awareness campaigns to support PAWS’ advocacies. Globe recognizes the opportunity to authentically demonstrate its commitment to animal care and welfare.

The initiative kicked off with Volunteer Day last September 25, 2025, at the PAWS Shelter in Katipunan, Quezon City, where up to 50 Globe employees donated pet-care amenities and spent the day feeding, cleaning, and reading to the shelter’s cats and dogs. This hands-on experience reflects Globe’s belief that care begins within, living out the same values of compassion and community that the company advocates externally.

“This initiative is about showing our people and our partners that care is not just a campaign – it’s a culture,” said Roche Vandenberghe, Chief Marketing Officer at Globe. “We try to uplift Filipino lives everyday at Globe and with pets as part of people’s found families, we’re extending that culture of care into everyday life, making sure that even our customers’ companions receive the attention and support they deserve.”

With these efforts, Globe continues to evolve as more than a connectivity provider, fostering a culture of care within its own community.  By celebrating pets as part of Filipino homes, Globe affirms that compassion lives in everyday bonds that truly matter.

Each of us plays for a different purpose. In order to decompress before the following lecture, some people start playing a game during the intermission between lectures. After a demanding workday, some grab their phones in hopes of relieving the tension with a fast match. While lifelong fans jump in to relive the thrill of every competition they’ve ever supported, parents pick it up to share battles and laughs with their children. Others are just inquisitive and are exploring new adventures one game at a time.

Although everyone’s definition of gaming is different, it unites us all. Whether you have ever held a prize, how long you have been playing, or how talented you are are not important factors. It’s about those tiny moments of happiness, camaraderie, and escape. Everyone can enjoy gaming, whether they are parents, students, seasoned enthusiasts, or first-time adventurers.

Furthermore, high-performance gaming is no longer exclusive to professionals thanks to the Infinix GT 30.

Take Ben Maglaque, better known as Benthings. Before esports, he was just like so many of us, juggling jobs, carrying responsibilities, and squeezing in play whenever life allowed. Gaming became his escape, and eventually his platform. “Minsan hindi lang basta paglalaro ang mahalaga, kundi ang pagbabahagi ng laro,” (“Sometimes it’s not just about playing, it’s about sharing the play,”) he says.

With the GT 30’s GT Trigger, Ben can finally keep up with the action. The built-in console-level control captures his highlights and keeps his streams as sharp as his gameplay, proof that the right tools make dreams more possible.

For Alma Enario, known to her followers as Nanay Gaming, it all began with something every parent can relate to: wanting to connect with her kids. What started as curiosity turned into late-night matches, endless laughter, and a livestreaming channel where families feel at home. “Walang pause button ang pagiging ina, pero ngayon nakakasabay na ako sa mga anak ko at sa mga nanonood,” (“There’s no pause button for motherhood, but now I can keep up with my children and with the crowd,”) she laughs.

Powered by the MediaTek D7400 chipset, Alma enjoys smooth, lag-free games and long broadcasts that don’t break the moment, because family playtime should never skip a beat.

And then there is Icey Arcangel, a fan who once cheered from the sidelines, now married to a pro player and immersed in the game she has always loved. For her, it’s not about titles or trophies but about feeling every moment. “Kapag sobrang mahal mo ang isang bagay, nakakainis kapag hindi nakakasabay ang gamit mo. Bawat galaw, bawat sandali, gusto kong maramdaman,” (“When you’re passionate, it’s frustrating when your gear can’t keep up. Every move, every moment, I need to feel it,”) she shares.

With the GT 30’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) 120 FPS certification, every frame is ultra-smooth and crystal-clear, bringing her right onto the battlefield.

Different stories, different reasons, one truth: gaming has no age, no single path, and no fixed role. Whether you’re chasing a championship, bonding with family, or simply playing for joy, the Infinix GT 30 makes it possible. With console-level GT Triggers, the powerhouse MediaTek D7400 chipset, and MLBB 120 FPS certification, the GT 30 proves that Everyone Can Play and Outplay the Rest.

Globe honored its employees, one of its most significant stakeholders, with a poignant celebration on this year’s GDay. Under the theme Globe Celebrates You, the firm honored Ka-Globe’s enthusiasm, diligence, and commitment while transforming the event into a chance to actively collaborate with cause-driven organizations and give back to the community.

Leaders surprised staff members with gifts and symbols of appreciation to start the celebration. A Thanksgiving Mass led by Father Jerry Orbos SVD followed, establishing the day’s spirit of thankfulness. Activities like food booths, games, customized GDay pins with each employee’s avatar, buskers, and an interactive video booth were enjoyed by Ka-Globes across all workplaces.

Employees participated in the G Raffle Rush in the weeks before the event, which offered daily challenges and unexpected rewards like unique 917 merchandise, travel vouchers, and staycations. With teams nominating peers in categories including Team Spirit, Hype Machine, Connector, Happy Helper, and Everyday Hero—recognitions that mirrored commonplace acts of generosity and teamwork—the GDay Shoutouts further highlighted Ka-Globes.

91.7 Minutes of Globe of Good

GDay also underscored Globe’s enduring commitment to community service. Employees across the country dedicated 91.7 Minutes of Service with 7 partner NGOs, turning the celebration into a day of collective effort.

More than 3,000 volunteers were assigned to different activities. Some joined disaster response efforts by repacking relief and hygiene kits with ABS-CBN Foundation/Sagip-Kapamilya and Save the Children, while others worked with Ayala Foundation to prepare food packs for schoolchildren. Education and youth-focused initiatives included assembling Kindness Boxes for primary students with World Vision and holding livelihood projects with Project Pearls and GROW Nanays. To promote inclusion and well-being, Ka-Globes partnered with Special Olympics Pilipinas, an organization supporting athletes with special needs, for an athlete care kit preparation. Environmental action also played a role, as employees supported Hands On Manila’s Bokashi Project, creating eco-balls to help clean the filthy esteros in Manila.

Team Globe of Good Brand Ambassadors joined the efforts, dedicating their time alongside employee-volunteers and demonstrating the company’s culture of care in action.

Complementing volunteer efforts were fundraising initiatives such as T-Shirt for a Cause, where employees contributed a portion of their work hours or salaries. Through this collective spirit, Ka-Globes initially pledged to raise ₱917,000 for partner beneficiaries, and to date have surpassed expectations by generating over ₱2 million.

More Than a Celebration

For Carl Cruz, Globe’s President and CEO, his first GDay as chief executive carried special meaning. “You are the reason we are here. Every single one of you embodies the spirit of GDay, and your passion and commitment make it possible for us to serve our customers and our communities. Our employees are Globe’s greatest asset, and this celebration is more than a day of appreciation, it’s a testament to our shared purpose of care, malasakit, and innovation. Together, let’s make every day a GDay. Globe celebrates you.”

“Today we celebrate two milestones in our company’s history: 10 years of 917 GDay and 10 years of Employee Volunteer Time Off,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer. “Your small acts of kindness combined  create a resounding Globe of Good. And creating a Globe of Good is our purpose in action, it is relatable, impactful, and above all human and humane.”

“We are always delivering ways for everyday life hacks and moments of delight to our customers, bringing happiness to them wherever we can, and our partnership with Beetzee Play does just that. We’re letting people choose what they want, when they want it, in quick but satisfying doses,” said Darius Delgado, Globe Chief Commercial Officer.

Globe introduced its latest Beetzee series titled “First Things Last” during The Blueprint event last August 27. The series revolves around a heartbroken Lisa, who after being dumped before a dream trip to El Nido, drunkenly searches online for a travel companion who shares the same name as her ex. When a stranger named DJ shows up, the two embark on three days of ‘firsts for the last time,’ blurring the line between healing and heartache until Lisa’s past comes calling.

Beetzee’s Piso Serye are bite-sized vertical dramas tailored for mobile phones and created for Filipinos who love teleserye, regularly scroll through TikTok and Reels, and prefer content in short bursts.

The Philippines ranks among the top consumers of short drama content in Southeast Asia, contributing to the global surge of over 475 million app downloads in 2024 alone. Globe’s highly engaged customer base, who open the GlobeOne app an average of 14 times per month, makes it an ideal platform for delivering localized, mobile-native content without disrupting user habits.

A worldwide trend is reflected in this need for rapid, mobile-friendly viewing. In 2024, there were over 475 million downloads of short drama material, with the Philippines being one of Southeast Asia’s leading adopters.

Globe and Beetzee Play allow you to transform ordinary pauses into dramatic, feel-good, or action breaks, whether you’re waiting for cooking to finish, caught in traffic, or taking a break between tasks.
