‘Tis the season of lighting up lives and creating shared memories

Will you be home for Christmas? Or are you dreaming of a white Christmas far away from home?

Wherever you decide to be at Christmas, nothing beats staying connected with family because ‘tis the season for togetherness, building dreams together, and creating shared memories.

This bright, crisp and joyful morning, the Christmas spirit is all aglow not under a dazzling Christmas tree but in the warm hearts of everyone present at The Blueprint by Globe event in Bonifacio Global City as the year closes with purposeful connectivity and lighting up people’s lives.

From seamless digital experiences to nation-building infrastructure, Globe lays the foundation for a truly inclusive digital nation.

Making meaningful connections

“Through each quarter, we’ve explored the different layers of this design, from innovation and inclusion to sustainability and digital empowerment,” says Roche Vanderberghe, chief marketing officer at Globe. “And today, as we close the year, we celebrate how all these pieces come together to form something greater: a future where every connection we build becomes meaningful.”

Allow us to unwrap some of these innovative offerings to make your Christmas even brighter.

Whether you’re curled up amid the warm comforts of home or shivering in winter wonderland this Christmas, you can stay connected during this most connected season of the year. Especially for our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), our unsung heroes, GoRoam empowers them to stay close to their families via affordable call, text, and data bundles with its Roam Kababayan 3-in-1 pack. From GoRoam’s “roam like a local” offer to Globe At Home’s AI-powered partnerships, connection is within reach because every precious moment counts.

Walls do not a home make 

What makes a home a home is not the walls that protect it or the furniture that fills up a room but the connections, experiences, dreams, and limitless potentials that breathe life into every nook and cranny of our home.

The power of 5G unlocks everyday potential, backed by the widest 5G coverage in the Philippines, according to Ookla. Now with faster streaming, clearer video calls, and real-time content creation, young people can stay productive, expressive, and connected wherever they are.

Traveling abroad? Now you can add travel insurance to your data roaming in just one go, designed to protect you from unexpected medical costs plus give you the added benefit when it comes to lost luggage or even trip disruption.

Adding meaning to meaningful connections, the Globe Student Program empowers over 30 million students nationwide to turn ambition into action through mentorship, real-world opportunities and access to telco tools. For its part, the Globe Caravan brings digital know-how to families and aspiring social entrepreneurs in underutilized communities, transforming connections into stepping stones for progress.

‘Tis the season of giving back

Sure to add dazzle to the season of giving is the Holiday Designers Bazaar that champions local talent with Filipino craftsmanship at the forefront. Shop till you drop because, remember, you’re supporting a cause with proceeds from the bazaar going to the scholarships of Filipino youths.

A gift that keeps on giving, Globe Rewards has collected over P5 million to support programs of Globe of Good Community Alliance NGO partners to address disaster relief and recovery, hunger, child stunting, child protection, education, persons with intellectual disabilties, animal welfare, environmental conservation, health and well-being, and other advocacies.

This year, G-Gantic Goals campaigns brought together 150,000 customers, proving that even one Rewards point — whether it’s feeding a rescued animal or donating a tablet to a public school in need — can make a whole world of difference. 

“We believe in purposeful connectivity, where every product, service, and initiative is designed to provide meaningful connections to Filipino lives,” stresses Darius Delgado, chief commercial officer at Globe.

To wrap it up, Yoly Crisanto, chief sustainability and corporate communications officer, shares, “We may become the connection that heals. Together, let’s rebuild lives, restore dreams, and be a force of good.”

To sum it up, more than the presents, what truly matters this Christmas is our presence.
