Unlocking Dreams: Globe's 917 G Day Celebration Takes Digital Experiences to New Heights

Globe, renowned as the leading mobile service provider and premier digital solutions innovator in the Philippines, is redefining its approach to customer appreciation through its annual G Day celebration. This telecom giant-turned-tech powerhouse is expressing its heartfelt gratitude to its loyal customers by orchestrating a harmonious blend of life-enhancing resources and rewards, all aligned with its core mission of enhancing the quality of life for Filipinos.

Going beyond the iconic date of September 17 (09/17), symbolizing Globe's iconic mobile number prefix, this month-long festivity holds the promise of bringing Filipinos closer to their aspirations through a symphony of digital innovations and cutting-edge technological experiences.

Jerome Patalud, Head of Globe Rewards, expressed, "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. We are elevating our engagement with customers and ensuring they feel truly cherished."

In addition to its customer-centric initiatives, Globe is steadfast in its commitment to employ the G Day platform as a vehicle for advocating environmental sustainability. Throughout the various G Day events and activities, Globe champions sustainability by encouraging customers to embrace eco-friendly and socially responsible practices. This includes conscientious waste disposal, avoidance of single-use plastics, and promoting sustainable transportation options like Globe's electric vehicle shuttles and carpooling for commuting to and from event venues.

Furthermore, Globe encourages customers to support meaningful causes, such as the Hapag Movement, a Globe-led initiative dedicated to addressing involuntary hunger through supplemental feeding and livelihood training programs.

Here's a glimpse of how Globe plans to turn customers' dreams into reality throughout the month of September:
