Globe marks 917 GDay 2026 with over 800 volunteers giving back to communities
Globe marked GDay 2026 by bringing its people together through shared experiences, appreciation and giving back. Through 917 Globe of Good, more than 800 employee volunteers shared their time and skills with communities, while employees pledged over ₱2 million to support the initiative.
A key part of GDay is 917 Globe of Good, which brought employees together for volunteer activities in education, hunger alleviation and nutrition, disaster relief, online safety and digital inclusion. Through these activities, employees took the celebration outside the workplace and into the communities Globe serves.
Bringing Globe of Good to communities
A major part of this year’s Globe of Good was Senior Digizen, which engaged more than 600 senior citizens in Makati alone. Ka-Globe volunteers guided participants on using technology for everyday needs, navigating useful digital services, recognizing potential scams and staying safe online. Globe also brought the program to senior citizens in Taguig, extending its efforts to help more seniors use technology with greater confidence.
Employees also worked alongside partner organizations across Metro Manila to address other community needs. With the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), volunteers repacked family food packs, while others prepared and served meals through SOS Rescue Kitchen.
With Ayala Foundation, employees supported feeding and reading activities for schoolchildren and spent time with children and young people in partner institutions. Other volunteers helped screen U-Go scholarship applicants online, giving employees different ways to contribute their time and skills.
“GDay is about making our people feel valued and celebrating the many ways they contribute to Globe every day. What makes it even more meaningful is seeing our Ka-Globe extend that same care to the people and communities we serve,” said Carl Cruz, Globe President and CEO. “When our people give their time, share what they know and show up for others, they bring to life the kind of Globe we want people to experience every day.”
The good continues
The volunteer activities continue beyond the two major volunteering days on September 15 and 16, with employees across the country supporting communities in their respective territories throughout the month. Employees can also share their own acts of care as Globe works toward 917 acts of good through the end of September.
For Globe, the aim is to carry the spirit of GDay beyond the celebration itself. Through the connections employees build with one another and the communities they serve, Globe of Good gives employees a way to turn appreciation into action and make that spirit felt beyond September.
