Globe Rewards equip frontliners with medical support through points donation

Globe calls on its customers to play a part in the fight against Covid and lend their support to frontliners by donating their Globe Rewards points to the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGH-MFI), as hospitals and other medical facilities report full capacity status due to the alarming surge of Covid cases in the country. 

With one peso equivalent to one Rewards point, Globe will be turning over 100 percent of the funds collected which, in turn, will be used to provide much needed support for our healthcare frontliners. 

To date, Globe Rewards was able to accumulate Php 22 million in funds which were used to procure 8,333 sets of personal protective equipment (PPEs) and frontliner supplies composed of caps, gowns, face masks, goggles, gloves, aprons, disinfectants and thermoscanners. A portion of these funds were also utilized not just for Covid health workers, but also to provide medical assistance to 704 indigent cancer patients.

Love looks beyond flaws in the upcoming ABS-CBN series “Init sa Magdamag”

People have their flaws, but can love make things right? Gerald Anderson, JM De Guzman, and Yam Concepcion present yet another look in love in the upcoming series “Init sa Magdamag,” which will be seen outside the Philippines on TFC via cable, satellite, and IPTV starting April 19, while the pilot episode can be seen in advance via iWantTFC on April 17.

“Init sa Magdamag” starts with the young love between Tupe (Gerald) and Rita (Yam) whose story is cut short because of a circumstance that leaves Tupe to choose between protecting the woman she loves or his responsibility to his family.

As Rita moves forward, she meets Peterson (JM) who finds a reason to be a better man because of her. Yet they will be tested early on in their relationship, which is the same time when Tupe finds his way back into Rita’s world.

The new series comes after Gerald’s moving portrayal in the series “A Soldier’s Heart,” JM’s relatable character in “Pamilya Ko,” and Yam’s hated antagonist character in the series “Love Thy Woman.”
