Globe marked this year’s GDay with a heartfelt tribute to its most valuable stakeholders—its employees. Under the theme “Globe Celebrates You,” the company honored the passion, hard work, and commitment of its Ka-Globe family, while turning the occasion into a day of giving back through impactful partnerships with cause-driven organizations.
A Day of Gratitude and Appreciation
The celebration began with a warm surprise from Globe leaders, who personally handed out treats and tokens of appreciation to employees. This was followed by a Thanksgiving Mass led by Father Jerry Orbos, SVD, setting a tone of reflection and gratitude for the day.
Across Globe offices nationwide, Ka-Globes enjoyed a variety of activities, including food booths, games, live busker performances, and even an interactive video booth. Each employee also received a personalized GDay pin featuring their own avatar, symbolizing their unique place in Globe’s journey.
Leading up to the celebration, employees took part in the G Raffle Rush, where daily challenges brought excitement and surprise prizes like travel vouchers, staycations, and exclusive 917 items. The GDay Shoutouts further highlighted Ka-Globes, recognizing peers in categories such as Team Spirit, Hype Machine, Connector, Happy Helper, and Everyday Hero—spotlighting everyday acts of teamwork and kindness.
91.7 Minutes of Service: Globe of Good in Action
True to its culture of care, Globe extended the spirit of GDay to the wider community. Employees across the country dedicated 91.7 minutes of service to initiatives with seven partner NGOs, turning celebration into meaningful action.
More than 3,000 employee-volunteers participated in diverse projects:
- Disaster response: Packing relief and hygiene kits with ABS-CBN Foundation/Sagip-Kapamilya and Save the Children
- Child and youth support: Preparing food packs with Ayala Foundation and assembling Kindness Boxes with World Vision
- Community livelihood: Partnering with Project Pearls and GROW Nanays for livelihood projects
- Inclusion and well-being: Preparing care kits for athletes with Special Olympics Pilipinas
- Environmental action: Supporting Hands On Manila’s Bokashi Project to clean Manila’s esteros through eco-ball making
Globe Brand Ambassadors also joined in, working side by side with volunteers to embody the company’s mission of care and malasakit.
Small Acts, Big Impact
Beyond volunteerism, Ka-Globes rallied behind fundraising initiatives like T-Shirt for a Cause, where employees donated a portion of their salaries or work hours. What began as a pledge of ₱917,000 grew into an inspiring achievement, raising over ₱2 million for partner beneficiaries—proof of the collective power of Globe’s people.
Celebrating Milestones, Building the Future
For Carl Cruz, Globe President and CEO, his first GDay as chief executive carried profound meaning:
“You are the reason we are here. Every single one of you embodies the spirit of GDay. Our employees are Globe’s greatest asset, and this celebration is more than a day of appreciation—it’s a testament to our shared purpose of care, malasakit, and innovation. Together, let’s make every day a GDay. Globe celebrates you.”
Meanwhile, Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, reflected on the twin milestones of the celebration:
“Today we celebrate 10 years of 917 GDay and 10 years of Employee Volunteer Time Off. Your small acts of kindness combine to create a resounding Globe of Good. This is our purpose in action—relatable, impactful, and above all, human and humane.”
💙 With gratitude, joy, and service at its core, Globe GDay 2025 was more than just a celebration—it was a reminder that when people come together, every day can be a GDay.
