Globe continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating a #GlobeOfGood through a series of impactful initiatives across Western Mindanao, aimed at uplifting vulnerable communities, promoting digital inclusion, and protecting the environment.

 

In partnership with Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), Globe launched Digital Horizons for Out-of-School Youth (OSY), a strategic program designed to equip young Filipinos with essential digital literacy, athletic development, and leadership skills. By harnessing WMSU’s local expertise, the initiative delivers a sustainable and future-focused learning experience that empowers youth to participate meaningfully in the digital economy. A total of 40 OSY and 117 WMSU students, faculty, and staff joined the inaugural Digital Horizons program, marking a strong start to this impactful collaboration.

 

Globe also activated the GT Coop CAREavan at WMSU’s College of Social Sciences and Public Education, engaging over 150 students, faculty, and staff in a day of learning and giving. The event featured the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP), which covered topics such as Digital Conduct, Cyberbullying, and Telco 101. A symbolic turn-over of shoes and whistles further emphasized Globe’s commitment to inclusive education and youth empowerment.

Reinforcing its sustainability mission, Globe volunteers partnered with local fisherfolk and leaders in Misamis Oriental to launch the Coastal Digital Roots initiative. A total of 917 mangrove seedlings were planted in Brgy. Baybay, Alubijid, helping protect the coastal ecosystem and strengthen community resilience against climate change.

 

“These initiatives reflect Globe’s deeper purpose to extend care, connectivity, and opportunity to every Filipino,” said Aldwin Mahusay, Assistant Director - HR Business Partner for VisMin, at Globe. “Whether it’s empowering youth or restoring our environment, we are committed to building a future where no one is left behind.”

 

Globe’s efforts in Western Mindanao exemplify how technology, partnerships, and purpose can come together to create lasting impact online and on-ground.
