Globe Strengthens Bacolod’s 5G Network as the City of Smiles Celebrates MassKara Festival 2025

“MassKara is all about joy, connection, and resilience, the same values that define Globe. We’re proud to bring world-class connectivity, including Globe 5G, to Bacolod, so everyone can share their stories, celebrate, and go forward together.” ~Roche Vandenberghe, Chief Marketing Officer at Globe

Globe powers Bacolod's MassKara Festival celebration with stable, fast 5G connectivity, proving its ongoing commitment for the City of Smiles.

MassKara is more than just a celebration of masks and songs; it is a representation of the resilience and optimism of the Bacolodnon people.   This same mindset drives Globe to keep forging stronger, faster, and more meaningful partnerships that enable progress and empower communities.

This year, Globe plans to roll out its 5G service throughout Bacolod City so that every MassKara tale and smile can be shared quickly.   To handle the surge of festival goers, the business has increased network capacity by installing more broadband lines in busy locations including Lacson Street, SM Bacolod, Robinsons, Paglaum Sports Complex, and the Public Plaza.   These enhancements guarantee flawless connectivity, quick uploads, and seamless livestreams during the celebrations.

Around 300 Globe cell sites, including 5G, are currently available in Bacolod and Negros Occidental, providing dependable and speedy service across the province.   Globe is expanding even further, securing Bacolod's position as the 5G-powered digital hub of the Visayas with over 30 5G-enhanced locations by 2025.

Globe now has about 600 Globe cell sites spread in Negros Oriental, with over 100 sites operational.   As a result, Negros is one of the most connected provinces in the country, making it easier to conduct daily activities as well as important events like MassKara.

In addition to its network upgrades, Globe is enhancing the festival experience with the GlobeOne app, which serves as a full digital companion for attendees.   From October 17 to October 19, festival goers can visit the Globe Festival Experiential Platform on Lacson Street to spin the "Wheel You Win," play the GFiber'Oke, trade Globe Rewards for personalized MassKara merchandise, and enter fun games and prizes.

Additionally, from October 13 to October 17, Globe SIM booths will be present at the Bacolod-Silay Airport to welcome new passengers and help them stay connected as soon as they land.   On October 17, The Dukes, Earl Agustin, and Infinite Ridge will perform at the G Music Fest at Capitol Lagoon, which unites residents and visitors for a night of music, joy, and camaraderie.

With freebies, special experiences, and on-ground activities, Globe's partners GCash, Jollibee, and Pettr increase the excitement and make MassKara livelier and more connected than before.

Globe's network is still helping Bacolod's tourism, education, retail, and logistics sectors as the celebrations come to an end.    Globe contributes to keeping the city's smiles bright, connected, and future-ready with every new 5G development.

Globe Business G Fair 2025: Accelerating growth of a new generation of Filipino entrepreneurs

“This year’s G Fair was built on the momentum of past years by creating an ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs with tools, knowledge, and networks to thrive. It’s a space to celebrate homegrown talent while equipping them to succeed in the digital economy.” ~KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business

As part of Globe's tenth year of 917 GDay celebrations, Globe Business hosted G Fair 2025, a two-day event that celebrated Filipino craftsmanship and bolstered its support for local business owners.   The expo, which took place at the BGC Amphitheater in Taguig from September 19 to 20, drew thousands of visitors and offered a lively environment where business and education coexisted.

Now in its third year, G Fair has grown beyond a pop-up show to become a full-fledged program.   This year's event was enhanced with a focus on empowering businesses for the future, in addition to providing helpful tools for digital transformation and sustainable growth through a dedicated SME Consultation Booth and several upskilling presentations and learning sessions.

Visitors enjoyed delicious treats as well as featured businesses. Attendees supported local artists while also taking advantage of exciting events and unusual lottery prizes.

Dream It, Do It: BINI and Students #GoForIt with Globe

“It’s a lasting commitment, this is Globe’s promise to give young people the tools, skills, and support to turn ambition into achievement.  We empower today’s youth through the Globe Student Program, which connects classroom learning with real-world experiences. Students can explore opportunities to join special Globe events, volunteer initiatives, and exclusive student raffles designed to inspire and engage.” ~Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer

Globe is creating spaces where opportunity and ambition meet by offering volunteer opportunities, grants, mentorship, internships, and inspiring youth-led events. Globe teamed with BINI in their most recent #GoForIt campaign to connect eight student dreamers with eight BINI members—not as idols, but as peers who experience similar pressures, late nights, and doubts.

Together, they showed that dreams may take many various shapes, whether one is a photographer, digital illustrator, model, writer, scientist, game creator, or performer. Whether it's rocking the stage or creating the next big discovery, every path is valuable.

“Globe not only connects people through a network, but through communities as well.” ~Clareene, a Polytechnic University of the Philippines  student dreaming of becoming a digital artist

One Beat, Many Dreams

BINI knows what it's like to strive for an impossible goal. From long training days to topping the charts, they have faced the same doubts and challenges as many kids today.

“Kahit din may mga doubts kami nung una, since Globe believed in us, that allowed us to believe in ourselves.” ~BINI Aiah

Reminding everyone that life and dreams are not a race against anyone else, but a personal journey you take at your own pace.

“‘Di kailangan magmadali para magwagi, buhay ay ‘di karera.” ~BINI Maloi

These moments with BINI show that they’re not just stars, but young women who once dreamed like today’s students. Whether in music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth stands: no matter the dream, hold on to it, and go for it.

 

Globe’s Game Plan for Student Success

These exchanges with BINI show that they are not just famous people but also young women with goals that are comparable to those of today's students.   Regardless of the industry—whether it's digital art, music, medicine, or entrepreneurship—one thing is always true: never give up on your goals.

Along with experiences, the program provides access to exciting advantages like Student Rewards via the GlobeOne app. Students can benefit from exclusive offers, treats, and learning experiences from partners including Timezone, Jollibee, the Ayala Museum, Museo Pambata, and beep™ card.

Simply search "Student Specials" on the Globe Rewards page in the GlobeOne app to obtain discounts tailored to students. Through mentorship, digital tools, learning platforms, or reliable connectivity, the task is not to be alone but to be ready to Go For It!

The Rhythm of Ambition

Like BINI's music, Globe's message appeals to Filipino student young from a variety of backgrounds. There is no one method to succeed; it starts with courage, grows through tenacity, and flourishes when the right conditions are met. This is why the #GoForIt campaign urges all students, future leaders, and aspirations to take a chance.

 

Different Dreams. Same Drive. #GoForIt with Globe.

GDay can be accessed online via the GlobeOne app.   Users may find a seamless and rewarding experience with every tap, filled with chances to unlock exciting rewards and daily surprise gifts.   Whether it comes in the form of coupons, lifestyle perks, or something more significant, the goal of the GDay Surprise Gift is to bring a little happiness into every day.

A fun addition to GDay 2025 for fans and music lovers is the GDay BINI Fan Meet, which will be held on September 13 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre.   More than 1,500 Globe patrons will get the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic afternoon with their favorite P-pop trio, complete with live performances, captivating chats, and memorable moments on stage.   The option to buy tickets will be made available on the GlobeOne app's Redeem Rewards area in order to preserve the feeling of surprise and accessibility. The festival's next event is the biggest G Raffle Rush, which happens from September 1 to October 31.  Every week, customers can look forward to exciting, life-sized prizes, starting with a ₱50,000 grocery shopping spree and a ₱100,000 GCash award, made possible by ShareTreats.   A luxurious staycation for two at NuStar Cebu with Philippine Airlines Mabuhay Miles, flagship products from Huawei, Honor, ASUS ROG, and OPPO Philippines, and a dream trip to Japan for four with business class tickets via All Nippon Airways are also being given away by Globe. 

Customers can rush their way to a free raffle entry via the GlobeOne app to join and also use their available Globe Rewards points to earn more raffle entries and look out for the exciting drops of prizes every week.

Globe celebrates you everyday with personalized rewards made just for you. You can count on Globe to make everyday a GDay!
