Globe Telecom launched its 2026 Blueprint on Tuesday. The event was held at Globe Tower. Globe’s CEO Carl Cruz opened the briefing. He said the company sees internet as a fifth essential utility. The theme was “Every Filipino Connected.” The message was clear: connectivity must be reliable, affordable and easy to reach.
Globe highlighted a new partnership with Starlink. The link uses Direct‑to‑Cell satellite technology. A live pilot trial has already run. Globe and Starlink will now test the service in more locations. They will also try new operational scenarios. The move aims to bring coverage to remote barangays.
The telecom also celebrated a top ranking from Ookla. The firm was named the most reliable mobile and broadband network in the Philippines. Its consistency scores set new industry benchmarks. Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s chief marketing officer, said the award proves the company’s investments work. “This recognition affirms that Globe’s investments are delivering real benefits for our customers,” he said. “Reliable connectivity they can count on every day for work, learning, and commerce.” He added, “Consistency is more than a benchmark; it is the backbone of a digital economy where MSMEs thrive, families stay connected, and communities build resilience.” Vandenberghe said the award shows Globe is helping nation‑building. He noted that connectivity is a driver of inclusive growth.
Globe’s commercial chief, Daruis Delgado, echoed the same view. “Connectivity today is a lifeline,” he said. “We want to ensure every Filipino, whether in bustling cities or the most remote barangays, has access to reliable and consistent digital services.” He said the focus is now on trust, inclusivity and resilience, not just speed.
The Blueprint also unveiled business‑focused innovations. Globe Business teamed up with Confluent. Together they launched the country’s first fully managed, enterprise‑grade data streaming platform. The service runs on Google Cloud. It removes CAPEX barriers for firms. Globe also introduced the Globe Omnichannel Cloud Contact Center, or GOCCC. The platform includes Call Center Studio. It gives companies AI‑powered customer engagement tools.
In the consumer arena, Globe At Home re‑branded internet as a modern utility. The company rolled out its Built‑in Broadband program. Fiber ports are now installed directly in new property developments. AI drives network optimization. A 24‑hour Care Squad offers “Digital Peace of Mind” for households.
Globe highlighted a package that pairs mobile and home services. Customers who combine GFiber Postpaid with Globe Mobile Postpaid can save up to ₱500 a month for a year. Prepaid and TM subscribers receive exclusive promos and free gigabytes. The offers aim to make everyday connectivity simpler and more rewarding.
TM, Globe’s budget brand, marked 25 years in the market. The milestone celebrates millions of “ka‑TMs” nationwide. TM offered affordable plans, rewards and on‑ground caravans. The brand said it continues to bring “tuwa” and “tatag” to Filipino communities.
Globe also launched a premium plan called Platinum GPlan. The plan is paired with a PAL Mabuhay Miles promotion. Customers earn airline miles alongside connectivity benefits. The move positions Globe’s premium line as the first to combine travel rewards with internet service.
Social impact remained a key topic. Globe’s GoGIVE program logged more than 4 billion hearts from prepaid users. Over 840 million hearts were converted into donations via the GlobeOne app. Partners included Ayala Foundation, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, Pawssion Project and the Philippine Eagle Foundation. GoGIVE also supported relief efforts during recent calamities. The program reinforces Globe’s role in nation‑building and resilience.
Overall, the Blueprint painted a picture of a digital nation. Globe wants its network to be a lifeline for work, study and commerce. The company aims to close the digital divide. It plans to expand fiber, 5G and satellite coverage. It also intends to deepen AI and cloud services for businesses. The firm says all these steps will fuel opportunity, resilience and sustainable growth for the Philippines.
Globe’s leadership stressed that the shift from speed to reliability is a cultural change. “We are building trust into the very fabric of our network,” said Delgado. “We are building inclusivity and resilience.” The company believes that reliable connectivity will empower micro, small and medium enterprises. It will also keep families linked across the archipelago. Globe’s 2026 Blueprint therefore signals a new era where internet is treated as a non‑negotiable lifeline for every Filipino.
