A Filipina who inspires hope and endurance for PH
Filipino pride shines brightest in moments of breakthrough. Globe brings the iconic breakthrough tennis star Alex Eala closer to Filipinos with a special homecoming fan meet in Manila.
More than a fan event, the celebration turns Alex’s inspiring run on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) circuit, along with her historic success at Wimbledon, into a shared moment for the people who have followed her journey with pride. The event featured a personal on-stage conversation, meet-and-greet opportunities, and a global livestream, allowing more Filipinos to join the celebration wherever they are.
“I genuinely felt everyone’s love and support during each match, so it’s wonderful to be home again and to have this special fan meet, thanks to Globe,” said Alex. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to inspire and elevate Filipino talent on the global stage. I’ve worked with Globe as an ambassador for many years because of its larger purpose of uplifting Filipino lives every day, and I’m happy we got to share that purpose through this special homecoming fan meet.”
“For Globe, Alex Eala embodies the Filipino world-class talent, inspiring grit and hard work, telling the world that Filipinos have what it takes to compete and win,” said Carl Cruz, President and CEO of Globe. “Her journey is a wonderful story of hope for all of us. We create moments like these when we rally behind our own, we inspire more Filipinos to dream bigger, and believe in ourselves that we can make things happen.”
