BLACKPINK is Globe's Newest Ambassador

I woke up this morning happy and excited knowing it's the first day of December. When I checked on my feeds, most of my friends shared stories and photos about Christmas. Truly, no matter what we are experiencing right now, how difficult our situation, this season brings joy and love.

Earlier, I attended the launch of Wonderful World of Globe. This year, Globe Telecom aims to recreate Christmas we all love amidst pandemic. The company is giving us more reasons to celebrate the holiday season whether we are living alone or working in a distant place. 

BLACKPINK is Globe's Newest Ambassador

At a time wherein we can only see the world through our screens, Filipinos are known to find the silver lining in every situation. In this case, that silver lining blinks brightly in black and pink. Globe welcomes the biggest international music group, BLACKPINK, into its family!

The record-breaking K-pop quartet joins the world-class roster of the telco’s endorsers to enlighten a rather eventful year for all. Among its accolades, the group has become the first K-Pop group to have the most music videos viewed, surpassing more than 1 billion views with their music video “Boombayah” in October. In line with Globe’s mission to bring world-class connectivity to its customers, it follows through by also bringing in brand ambassadors of the same caliber.

BLACKPINK is the newest Globe Brand Ambassador

"BLACKPINK being one of the world’s biggest groups has a huge following in the country. We want to bring our customers nothing less than the best in entertainment,” says Ernest Cu, Globe’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Globe will soon bring more surprises featuring BLACKPINK.

As quick, easy and flexible internet access became the new essential, this year's WWG is the perfect time to launch the revolutionary product offer of Globe.

Stay Home, Stay Safe this Holiday Season

Enjoying various content such as video, music, games, and sports can enhance family bonding so Globe partnered with Riot for special data offers for League of Legends: Wild Rift the mobile version of the highly-popular League of Legends.

And, with the continuous expansion of Globe’s 5G service, more exciting forms of innovation can be expected for Globe customers. One of which is coming from the partnership of Globe with Niantic. As the first Southeast Asian telco member of the Niantic Planet-Scale AR Alliance, Globe will drive bigger and better immersive gaming experiences powered by Niantic’s advanced AR real-world platform that will push the boundaries of what can be experienced in a Niantic game with 5G technology. Niantic is an AR company, inspiring people to explore the world together.

Another interesting 5G-enabled service that brings entertainment to a whole new level is from Globe’s official partnership with YouTube VR. This will enable users to watch and explore VR content in-app through the affordable yet effective Globe VR cardboard. This further enhances the customers' online entertainment experience and online learning at home.

Traditional Gift-Giving

What is Christmas without presents?  Gift-giving is a tradition that goes back to the wise men that visited the nativity.  And while everyone loves presents from family and friends, some of the best gifts come when people share their blessings with those they may not know well but who need help.

Globe Platinum customers have been delighting frontliners, who have worked so tirelessly to keep Filipinos safe all these months, through the Thank-A-Hero program. Apart from sending them treats from Auntie Anne’s, Coco, The Cookie Bar, and JCo Donuts,  Globe Platinum is also preparing a Noche Buena feast for our frontliners, to thank those who will be hard at work all throughout Christmas Eve, keeping Filipinos safe.

Recreating Christmas Tradition

In the past, many Filipino families would look forward to the well-loved tradition on Christmas Day of watching the annual Metro Manila Film Festival which showcases local filmmakers and artists.  This year, Globe and GMovies has partnered with the MMFF and UPSTREAM to recreate the MMFF tradition and bring this year’s nominated films online to Filipino homes around the nation and all over the world.

Manny Pacquiao

WWG also banners Filipino talents supported by Globe, celebrating the athletic achievements of such stars as 12-time 8-division boxing world champion and global icon Manny Pacquiao, Tennis child prodigy and Australian Open doubles champion Alex Eala, PH rep to FIBA 3X3 World Tour, Manila Chooks TM Team, ONE Championship’s martial arts stable Team Lakay.
