Globe sees rise in cable theft cases in Greater Manila Area in H1 2024

Seeks closer collaboration with gov’t agencies, LGUs, police for unified front

Globe has reported an 18.6% increase in cable theft incidents in the Greater Manila Area (GMA) in the first half of 2024, a concerning uptrend that undermines efforts to expand connectivity amid steadily increasing demand.

From January to June 2024, Globe logged 906 cases of cable theft, a significant rise from 764 cases during the same period in 2023. June had the highest number of cases this year at 169 incidents.

Hotspot areas include Quezon City, where theft incidents affected Globe’s cable segments in Aurora, Project 8 and Roosevelt. Cables within the Las PiƱas, Makati and Manila are also among those frequently targeted.

GMA accounted for about 61.55% percent of the total 1,472 cases logged nationwide in the first half of this year, reflecting a worrying trend of rising cable theft in the metropolis. This escalation poses a serious challenge to Globe's efforts to enhance and expand its network across the region.
