Globe marked the season of giving and togetherness with the second installment of The Blueprint by Globe, celebrating the year-end holidays at The Globe Tower, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. With the theme “Lighting Up the Season with Purposeful Connectivity and Meaningful Connections,” the event showcased how Globe continues to shape the Filipino digital lifestyle, not just through innovation, but with intention.
“At Globe, we believe the most meaningful rewards are the ones that feel personal, those that are made just for you,” said Bianca Wong, Vice President and Head of Feel Valued Tribe at Globe. “This GDay, we’re celebrating in a way that recognizes our customers’ diverse passions and everyday wins. Whether it’s a surprise gift or a chance to win larger than life prizes on the app, or a fan experience you’ve been wishing for, there’s something in store for everyone to enjoy, tailored to what matters most to them.”
This year, the spotlight turns to everyday moments that feel extraordinary. Across the country, Globe will activate GDay Pop-Up Booths in malls, stores, and neighborhood venues bringing the celebration closer to where customers live, work, and play. These on-ground activations in key cities like Cebu, Davao, Bacolod, Naga, Tuguegarao, and CDO, will transform familiar convergent spaces into joyful brand experiences filled with exclusive promos, partner rewards, and surprise giveaways.

From January to September, Globe’s proactive blocking efforts fended off over 7 million bank-related spam and scam SMS, crashing from a high of 49.3 million in the same period in 2022.
This follows anti-fraud pacts with the Bankers Association of the Philippines, covering 45 major banks, and with individual players in the finance sector, which enable vigorous and timely data and intelligence-sharing to align and enhance efforts to prevent and investigate fraud.
The year 2023 was a time of greater expansion for the Globe Group, as it continued to deliver life-enabling innovations that solve daily pain points of Filipinos.
From its network optimization and data center business to its debut in climate tech and fintech expansion overseas, the Globe Group cast an even wider net across industries this year, with unstoppable momentum going into the new year.
“Despite the challenges we faced, 2023 was another banner year for Globe, as we continued to cement our standing as the foremost digital solutions provider in the Philippines, with an unrivaled ecosystem of products and services that make life better,” said Ernest Cu, Globe Group President and CEO.
Globe also noted a deceleration in the quarterly decline of Fixed Wireless revenues, indicating a positive shift in market trends towards postpaid fiber offerings. Wired revenues comprise approximately 84% of Globe’s total Home Broadband Business, driven largely by postpaid fiber.
"We're seeing an encouraging uptrend in our fiber broadband business, and our commitment to delivering exceptional service is stronger than ever," said Raymond Policarpio, Vice President of Globe At Home Brand Management. "Our focus is not just on expanding our reach but also on acquiring quality subscribers who value longevity and reliability."

The telco-turned-techco is thanking its customers for their loyalty by bringing together life-enabling tools and rewards in line with its mission to uplift the lives of Filipinos.
Stretching beyond the iconic date of September 17 (09/17) or 0917, which represents Globe’s iconic mobile number prefix, this month-long celebration promises to bring Filipinos closer to their dreams with digital innovations and next-gen tech experiences.
"Through G Day, we hope to help our customers get closer to their dreams through innovative, life-enabling digital solutions, powered by reliable connectivity. We're going bigger in terms of engaging our customers and making them feel valued,” said Jerome Patalud, Head of Globe Rewards.
GFiber Prepaid is designed to bring fast and reliable internet service to every Filipino household through its affordable fiber connectivity.
While digital connectivity has become a ubiquitous part of modern living, not all communities have equal access to its benefits. According to a joint study by Thinking Machines and the Asian Development Bank, the average internet speed disparity between the wealthiest and poorest cities in the country was a significant 21.03 Mbps as of 2020.
SIM Registration portal stable after 72-hour observation period
After a 72-hour observation period, Globe’s SIM registration portal, https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg, is now fully optimized and stable. Customers may continue to plan and schedule their registration.
“We took the last 72 hours to observe fixes we made on our SIM registration portal, and it has held stable after full optimization. We would like to thank our 87.9 million customers for their continued understanding as we had to adjust our system,” said Globe Chief Commercial Officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira.
As of 1 p.m. Friday, December 30, Globe has logged over 3.9 million registered SIMs in its portal.
Globe, the leader in Mobile, launched its SIM Registration portal new.globe.com.ph/simreg early on December 27, Tuesday, in compliance with the law but had to make the site temporarily inaccessible to ensure a better registration experience for customers.
Several customers were able to access the site and register between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. but the portal temporarily went offline as the site is being optimized. Globe aims to have the online platform back up within the day.
“We would like to thank our customers for going in to register early. Technical teams are working double time so the online platform can go live before the day ends. Rest assured that we are optimizing our systems to give you a better registration experience. We’d also like to remind our customers that there is enough time to register,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications of the Globe Group.
