Globe has called for stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors to combat growing threats to child safety online, as it reaffirms its commitment to internet safety on Safer Internet Day.
With the rapid evolution of digital technology, the internet has become both a vital tool and a potential risk, exposing children to exploitation and harm. The Philippines is the world’s highest producer of content rooted in online child sexual abuse and exploitation, according to a study led by the US-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
A GSMA outlook for 2025 showed that telco operators around the world are looking to AI in driving business objectives, including better customer experience and enhancing financial performance.

AI enables us to drive efficiency and sustainability, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our customers and the environment."

Globe Platinum is setting a new benchmark for premium postpaid plans designed to empower subscribers with superior connectivity, exclusive lifestyle privileges, and best-in-class services for unrivaled everyday experiences.
Since its launch in 2000, Globe Platinum has remained ahead of the curve, offering postpaid plans that seamlessly integrate premium connectivity with thoughtful lifestyle and wellness solutions.

The All-new Platinum GPlans take these benefits further, addressing the lifestyle needs of its subscribers with upgraded inclusions:
Globe has received reports that its sender ID has been used to spread a malicious message apparently targeting the President’s family or prominent political figures.
Globe wishes to clarify that the said message is a case of spoofing, where fraudsters send unauthorized SMS with a spoofed sender ID to mobile users in a particular area using fake cell towers.
Spoofing uses an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) catcher– a portable device that captures mobile users within a limited radius by forcing their signal to downgrade to 2G, the old cellular network technology for voice calls and texts. Messages sent via spoofing do not pass through the Globe cellular network, thus bypassing Globe’s stringent anti-fraud filters.
Globe continues to redefine mobile accessibility by bringing Apple’s iPhone 16 within reach of every Filipino via unbeatable deals, flexible payment options, and an array of exclusive benefits.

More Globe Stores are set to offer this seamless Apple experience in December.

Globe Rewards+ members will enjoy exclusive voucher discounts, making it simpler than ever to upgrade to Apple’s newest release.
