GLOBE INNOVATION FEST 2021: Tara na sa Globe GIF Land

Globe Innovation Fest 2021: Tara na sa Globe GIF Land! 

Creates #SariSaringRewardingExperiences for customers in annual 917 celebration

Amidst the ongoing global health crisis, Globe endeavors to bring joy to its customers via better connectivity and innovations that uplift the lives of the Filipino people.

Through its annual 917 Day celebration, Globe continues to reinvent ways to share compassion and care, and provide customers with #SariSaringRewardingExperiences.

GIFLand is a virtual amusement park featuring the new offerings, treats and activities that are in store for Globe customers, which they can access right at their fingertips.

The festival highlights the many ways Globe values its customers, to play a more meaningful part in their everyday lives. 

Chief Commercial Officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira shared in the Globe Innovation Fest (GIF), “The core of what we do is to provide a richer, fuller, more rewarding experience to our customers. We continuously strive to deliver innovations across our products and services — with our customers at front and center of why we do it.”

September 17 or 917 is the time of the year when Globe shows its appreciation to its loyal customers. It is inspired by the company’s original and longstanding 917 prefix.

“Tuwing nasisiyahan ang isang Globe customer, ibig sabihin we did our job well. Their wonderful experience is the reward Globe strives for. Yan ang joy na hinahabol namin, whether it’s joy between two people or the joy that brings hope to a nation of more than a hundred million,” added Guevarra-Cabreira.

A GDay to share rewarding experiences with our customers and communities

Bianca Wong, Head of the Feel Valued Tribe at Globe, showed how people could enjoy GDay Everyday with the sari-saring rewarding experiences at GIFLand, encouraging the audience to multiply good vibes through sharing. What makes the 917 celebration really special this year is that customers can share their rewards with communities needing help. 

An example of this is Globe’s G Legends Cup, an amateur mobile gaming tournament that lets winners share their prize with their beneficiary of choice. Other exciting activities include G Chance the Raffle, the G Super Sale, G Business Summit, and G Music Fest where customers’ participation in each program contributes to collective support to Globe’s partner beneficiaries.

Digitizing transactions with Globe Shop & Pay

Another innovation launched at GIFLand is Shop & Pay, a self-service, highly-interactive one-stop shop for all your essentials in Globe. 

Gino Guinto, Globe’s Vice President for Retail Sales Operations gave audiences a virtual walk-through of the new technology, highlighting its convenience and accessibility. 

He said, “Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan talaga nating makasiguro na ligtas tayo tuwing lumalabas tayo ng ating mga bahay, kaya pinadali namin ang mga transactions ng ating mga customers to lessen their risk of exposure sa Globe Shop & Pay.”

Be it a request for a mobile or broadband plan, a handset, 917 apparel and merchandise, the new Globe Shop & Pay is sure to make transacting with Globe safer and more convenient for customers. It also features a vending machine to pay bills, buy load, call card or SIM, and cash-in via GCash.

Everything you need and love in 

the new GlobeOne Super app!

At the GDay Circus Tent, Globe unveiled the new GlobeOne Super App, which combines the features and experiences of all existing apps — GlobeOne, TM, Globe At Home, and Globe Rewards. It aims to be the one app that will empower Globe customers to access all of their essential transactions and accounts, be it topping up their prepaid mobile or broadband plans, redemption of rewards or payment of bills. 

“With an app that has everything, we made sure that the experience is easy for our customers for their everyday use. Sa GlobeOne app, customers can have easy access to Globe Rewards that they need in their everyday lives — rewards such as KonsultaMD, game pins, discounts to restaurants,” said Juuya Reyes, Product Owner of the GlobeOne App.

Globe Prepaid Brand Head Eric Tanbauco also unveiled GoCREATE, an exclusive feature on the GlobeOne app that allows prepaid customers to take charge and customize their own promo. 

He shared, “We think it’s also important for our customers to have control over their promos. With GoCREATE, customers can customize their own promos based sa needs nila. Sila mismo have a say on what goes in their own promo. Pwede nilang piliin, for example, how much data to use, how long it will run, and kung saan gagamitin.”

Para #GDayEveryday, customers can now download the new GlobeOne app for FREE in the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.

In line with Globe’s mission to drive digital adoption and transformation in the Philippines, they also shared exciting updates on the Globe Online Shop. Globe’s Digital Experience Lead, Mitch Opao, happily shared to customers that they can do more on the platform, including renewing their mobile plans, ordering their Home Prepaid WiFi devices online, tracking its delivery, and paying cashless via GCash. 

Globe supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, which recognizes the importance of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development, and UN SDG No. 12 on sustainable consumption and production.  It is committed to upholding the UN Global Compact Principles and 10 UN SDGs.

NO to FAKE RT-PCR RESULTS!

NO to Fake RT-PCR Results! 

This official statement from CMZ through President Atty Jhihann Hairun-Natividad was posted by Ciudad Medical Zamboanga last July  16, 2021 on the incident on fake RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction) results using the hospital’s result form. 

CMZ would like to share that the perpetrators for this incident (who happen to be public servants!) were apprehended for falsification of documents and are presently, being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Punishment for perpetrators include penalty of up to P50,000 or imprisonment for one to six months, or both fine and imprisonment as deemed by the proper court. They would also face criminal charges and for those in public office, may also face administrative action.

The important thing is all testing centers now should be aware to strengthen the security features of the RT-PCR test results to prevent this alarming crime against society. For CMZ, there is now a generated QR Code embedded on the result for authenticity!

Therefore, BEWARE before creating fake RT-PCR results! 

***

Let us remember the reason why RT-PCR testing is being done… to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 infection!

Identification of individuals who are COVID 19 positive is important, especially, if they are ASYMPTOMATIC and note the urgent need for contact tracing.

Never take for granted the people around you… there are lots of asymptomatic carriers!

CMZ Swab Center at Mayor Vitaliano Agan Avenue, Zamboanga City. Thank you to the people at the CMZ Swab Center and in the processing area. 

 Having the swab test is already a stressful event in itself…
 expectation of the result, even more so!
We do the test so we will know if we have the infection, then, take the necessary precautions — whether for travel purposes, pre-surgery requirements, as one of the traced contacts, as back to work requirements as well as for those with possible COVID 19 symptoms.
Let us prevent COVID 19 spread, thus, NO to FAKE RT-PCR RESULTS! 

The surge last March to June 2021 in Zamboanga City was really heart-wrenching and nerve-racking.

Let us go over some statistics during these months through Mayor Beng Climaco’s FB posts.

AS OF MARCH 22, 2021

AS OF MAY 16, 20221

AS OF JULY 5, 2021

Zamboanga City was placed on the news map last May 12, 2021, when ZC ranked first with a 47% increase in COVID-19 cases compared to prior week. 

The sudden rise from about 32 active cases in early March exponentially rising to a high of 2700 active cases in May overwhelmed the healthcare sector with lack of hospital beds (queueing of patients for hospital admissions even reaching more than 50 patients in the wait-list), lack of oxygen tanks, high flow oxygen machines, ventilators, etc in most hospitals… and most of all, lack of healthcare personnel, especially nurses… which may be due to infection or quarantine… or to stress… or to family matters and even opportunities in the government sector and abroad!

We thank the hospital administration (especially CMZ!) who were able to manage the challenges and the doctors and whole workforce for being brave as they continue to provide value-based healthcare services!

As the numbers were increasing, MECQ was imposed in Zamboanga City last May 2021 for three weeks and again for the whole month of June 2021. Note that there was a sharp increase in COVID-19 deaths especially in the months of April and May indicating severe disease in these months.

This July 2021, the active cases are decreasing to the 200 level and the hospital services are again normalized. We hope that the numbers continue to go down, but with threat of the COVID-19 Delta variant, everyone still has to be continually vigilant to prevent another surge again.

One measure that the ZC LGU is implementing to prevent the worsening of the pandemic is to present a NEGATIVE RT-PCR TEST as one enters  through the border controls of Zamboanga City.

Let us follow the rules properly, thus, NO to FAKE RT-PCR TEST RESULTS!

To reinforce prevention of the COVID 19 spread, let us also ALL GET VACCINATED NOW! 

We look forward to the near future when we may not need RT-PCR tests for TRAVEL or for other reasons, for VACCINATED individuals! ❤️

LET US PROTECT EACH OTHER…

GET VACCINATED NOW!

COVID IS REAL!

And of course, don’t forget the basic Health Protocols:

Keep safe and stay healthy!😷

Let us unite in our fight against COVID-19🦠!

Let us look forward to a safer Zamboanga City… a safer Philippines… and a safer WORLD!

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 3: ON GOALS, HARD WORK AND SUCCESS

Each person determines his own journey to success. 

One cannot determine for the other person how great or small his dream should be.

One person may be easily contented and sets goals that are easy to reach.

Some decide to dream big, and sets almost impossible goals but may still achieve success because of the great efforts, determination and diligence.

Our goals may be determined by our childhood dreams, family expectations, school environment, extra-curricular exposure, meeting successful people who inspire us, networking with people who create opportunities which we recognize and nurture… and a lot more.

Where others see difficulty (like in this COVID-19 pandemic), others can appreciate opportunities and work on it!

Here are more QUOTES on GOALS, HARD WORK AND SUCCESS (with beautiful flowers in the background) for us to ponder upon… and hopefully, inspire you to achieve more.

Never lose sight of your dream… do everything to make this a reality… and hopefully, try to enjoy the journey even as you experience some challenges along the way!

💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 2: QUOTES ON GOALS, HARD WORK AND ACHIEVEMENT

 Each person has his own personal story on goals, hard work and success.

Achieving success is a difficult process and this all starts with a goal, something we aspire for! We can only reach this goal through hard work, taking risks, learning from failure, determination, dedication and a lot more! 

Here are some QUOTES ON GOALS, HARD WORK AND ACHIEVEMENT (with beautiful flowers in the background) to inspire us to dream and work hard to achieve the fruits of our labor.

I believe these quotes are fitting for the youth as we encourage them to start thinking for their future.

Yes, future seems to really be a long way ahead, but then, we realize that suddenly the child has grown-up. Therefore, start dreaming early… aspire for something great… then move forward to make these dreams an awesome reality.

But these quotes are also for the “young once” since we can still continue to dream and set goals and do your best to achieve and reach newer and higher successes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the landscape of life. Thus, some find it difficult to think of goals, and feel that even with hard work, it is difficult to move forward. But, don’t let the pandemic be the limiting factor! 

Look around… be inspired… opportunities are just there waiting to be recognized! So formulate your goals with the present realities in mind but always visioning for a brightest tomorrow!

Everything, therefore, depends on our individual goals and mindset…  our own efforts… the time and treasures we put in… to attain the success we envision to reach! 

💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 1: QUOTES ON GRATITUDE

During this COVID 19 pandemic, we are facing a lot of challenges and trials. Things may not turn out to be favorable … one getting sick… or maybe the whole family… challenges at home… challenges in the workplace… challenges in education… challenges with finances… challenges related to our state of mind and heart! 

However, in these trying times, we still have many reasons to be grateful for… for the new normal… new perceptions in life… new realizations… new opportunities… new experiences! 

And, we are also grateful for little things in daily life… as well as for turning points, where we are thankful for people who help us through tough times … the times when we feel low… when we are hesitant and afraid … or when we are worried and confused. Thank you with all our hearts! 💕💕💕

I would like to share QUOTES ON GRATEFULNESS (with beautiful flowers in the background) for us to ponder upon…

 

I hope these quotes on GRATITUDE can open up our hearts and minds to look at this perplexing era in a better light… as this also opens our eyes to brighter opportunities and hopefully, the newly-gained optimism can be transformed to productive outcomes!

💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
