LAPU-LAPU CITY, CEBU — Globe partnered with the Lapu-Lapu City government to provide digital safety training to more than 100 senior citizens during a financial assistance payout activity. Through its Senior Digizen Program, Globe helped participants learn how to protect themselves from online scams and use their mobile phones more confidently.
Globe employee volunteers guided participants on how to recognize suspicious links, protect personal information, and avoid common online scams, including phishing and fraudulent messages. The hands-on sessions also helped seniors become more comfortable using their mobile phones for everyday activities.
“As more everyday services move online, we want our senior citizens to feel confident and safe using technology,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer. “Through this collaboration with the Lapu-Lapu City government, we are giving our senior citizens the practical tools to safeguard themselves against scams while offering support for their personal health.”
The activity also addressed participants' health needs, with healthcare partner Generika distributing essential medicine packs to attendees. By combining digital safety education with existing community services, the initiative made practical support more accessible to senior citizens.
"Our senior citizens have built the foundation of our community, and ensuring their protection in today’s digital era is a vital responsibility," said Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Ma. Cynthia "Cindi" King-Chan. "We are deeply grateful to Globe for bringing the Senior Digizen program to Lapu-Lapu City. Combining scam prevention education with hands-on smartphone assistance and healthcare kits delivers the care our seniors deserve."
Globe continues to scale its digital inclusion programs across the country, ensuring vulnerable sectors remain informed, protected, and empowered in an evolving digital landscape.
