Globe salutes the Volcanoes

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom hails the Philippine Volcanoes national men’s rugby team for their outstanding win in the recently-concluded Asian 5 Nations Division 1 Championship.

The win not only propelled the team into the ranks of the Top 5 teams in Asian rugby but also brought them one step closer to their quest to qualify for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.

Last year, Globe started supporting the Philippine Volcanoes to help the team raise awareness on the sport. “We congratulate the Philippine Volcanoes for a great finish and for promoting the Philippines to the Elite Division of the Asian 5 which is composed of the region’s top five teams. We are optimistic that they will sustain the momentum in their future games. Globe is proud to throw our support behind the Volcanoes and join them in making rugby a certified Filipino sport,” said Ernest Cu, Globe president and CEO.

Incidentally, the Volcanoes also star in a new video produced by Globe in partnership with the Department of Tourism. The video shows the Volcanoes inviting Pinoys to share their own fun experiences to help make a new global advertisement to promote the Philippines. The best ones will be shown in key cities around the world. The team was also tapped by Globe as its ambassadors in fighting against bill shock.
