DRIVING A MORE CONNECTED AND INCLUSIVE NATION: GLOBE STRENGTHENS SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

18 November 2025

As the government accelerates the Digital Philippines agenda, Globe is reinforcing the country’s digital foundation through expanded infrastructure, enterprise innovation, and inclusive access. The company’s third-quarter 2025 results reflect this sustained commitment to enabling national competitiveness in the digital era.

Globe’s Corporate Data revenues surged 13% quarter-on-quarter, fueled by rising demand for connectivity, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), and data center solutions, key enablers of the digital economy.

Complementing these digital transformation efforts is ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (Philippines), Globe’s joint venture with STT GDC and Ayala Corporation, which started operating its first center in STT Fairview 1 followed by its Cavite 2 site, adding substantial capacity built for hyperscale and AI as well as enterprise workloads.

Connecting Communities Through Partnerships

Complementing these enterprise advances is Globe’s expanding nationwide connectivity footprint, now reaching 96.13% of the Philippine population. To bring inclusive innovation to life, Globe has also partnered with unconnected.org, a UK-based social enterprise that works to close the global digital divide by connecting schools and communities in underserved areas. Together, Globe and unconnected.org are extending internet access to remote schools and Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) across the Philippines, empowering students, teachers, and residents with digital tools for learning and livelihood.

“Globe’s infrastructure investments and enterprise solutions are vital to building the nation’s digital backbone,” said Carl Cruz, Globe’s President and CEO. “As businesses and institutions embrace digital transformation, Globe stands as their trusted partner, enabling innovation, cybersecurity readiness, and inclusive growth aligned with the government’s Digital Philippines vision.”

Through strategic partnerships and responsible innovation, Globe continues to power a digitally enabled and economically resilient Philippines, bridging digital divides while ensuring readiness for an AI- and data-driven future.
