Globe rises to 61st rank on Statista’s list of top PH employers

Globe continues to solidify its position as one of the Philippines’ top employers, making a remarkable leap of 112 spots to secure 61st place on the prestigious Statista Best Employers 2025 list, which ranks companies with a workforce of at least 250 employees.

The annual Best Employers list, compiled by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and German market research firm Statista, identifies the country’s top 300 companies and government agencies based on employee perceptions. It assesses whether organizations truly meet the expectations set through their public image, using direct feedback from employees.

“We are proud of this recognition, which reflects our ongoing efforts to cultivate a people-first culture. At Globe, we create an environment where employees can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the company’s success. When our people feel empowered, the whole organization benefits,” said Renato Jiao, Globe’s Chief Human Resource Officer.

Globe is committed to fostering a workplace culture that emphasizes employee wellness, professional growth, and inclusivity. Its swift climb from Rank 217th in 2023 to Rank 173rd in 2024, and now to Rank 61st showcases its efforts to enhance the work environment and create a more supportive atmosphere for employees.

For the 2025 list, Statista surveyed over 16,000 employees from more than 2,000 companies across 28 industries. Employees provided both direct and indirect recommendations for their employers and others within their sector, evaluating key factors such as how companies treat their people and how they are as corporate citizens, making this ranking one of the most comprehensive in the Philippines.

The telco leader’s inclusion in Statista’s Best Employers list reflects its focus on people, policies, and processes. This recognition aligns with the numerous awards Globe has received for excellence in human resource management in 2024, further underscoring its dedication to continuous improvement in all areas of its workplace.

Globe remains steadfast in its mission to provide a dynamic work environment that nurtures employee growth and development. The company invites top talent to explore career opportunities and become part of its innovative and supportive workplace.

Empower Your Home

Do you experience sluggish internet speeds or connection issues at home? Don’t fret! GLOBE AT HOME is here to empower you with basic WiFi troubleshooting techniques that can enhance your online experience.

Remember, you have control over your WiFi. And you can remedy various disruptors that affect your home connection.

By following these easy steps, you can resolve common internet problems and enjoy seamless connectivity.

Check your modem lights

You may not readily notice, but your modem lights can tell you a lot about your modem’s health. If your modem’s LOS (third light indicator) is red, that means there’s no connection. And if your PON is green but blinking, this means there is no connection. This is your first step in determining whether the device is encountering problems.

Restart your modem

First things first: try the classic “turn it off and on again” approach. Restarting your modem can work wonders in refreshing your connection and fixing many minor issues. Wait for 30 seconds to allow your device to fully shut off before powering it up again.

Inspect your wires and cables

Loose or damaged cables can disrupt your internet connection. Ensure all wires are securely plugged in and have no visible damage. A quick inspection might save you a lot of headaches.

Check your connection: 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz

Your modem provides two types of WiFi connections: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Knowing which one to use can make a significant difference in your internet quality. If you’re close to the modem, opt for the 5GHz band. If you’re farther away, the 2.4GHz band provides a more stable connection.

Watch out for outages

Sometimes, the situation is beyond your control. Watch out for red lights on your modem, which indicate connection problems. Stay informed about any reported outages in your area. Connectivity may be disrupted by  fiber cuts, caused by theft or unintentional cuts during road work, or or the illegal use of signal repeaters.

To conveniently find out connectivity problems, you may check your GlobeOne app for advisories. You may also report connection issues via the HELP section on the app.

Device management

Take a moment to consider the number of devices connected to your WiFi and the speed of your current plan. If you have multiple family members streaming, gaming, and working simultaneously, you might need to upgrade your plan to accommodate the increased demand.

To optimize your connection, try reducing the number of connected devices when possible. Also, there may be browser plug-ins slowing down your browsing experience. Additionally, selecting a plan that aligns with your family’s needs is essential for smooth internet usage.

WiFi placement matters

The placement of your modem plays a significant role in signal strength. For best results, position it in a central location within your home away from thick concrete walls that can weaken the signal. Be mindful of potential interference from appliances operating on the 2.4GHz frequency, such as microwaves or cordless phones.

Unauthorized Devices

Security is paramount when it comes to your home network. Regularly check for unauthorized devices connected to your WiFi to ensure your bandwidth isn’t being shared without your knowledge.

Don’t forget to give your WiFi devices some tender loving care. Regular maintenance can help prevent potential connectivity issues and avoid replacement charges. Take proactive measures to ensure a reliable and enjoyable internet experience for you and your family.

“Your home internet is the heartbeat of your digital life. It is essential to learn simple troubleshooting to unlock the full potential of your connected home. A little know-how goes a long way in creating a seamless online experience for you and your loved ones,” said Abigail Cardino, VP Globe Broadband Business.

Embrace the power of knowledge and take control of your home internet experience today! Visit the GlobeOne app if you need more help and check this  video. To know more about Globe, visit www.globe.com.ph.

Over 1,000 Execs Attend FinTech Alliance Ph’s Manila Tech Summit

Over a thousand attendees join the annual summit organized by FinTech Alliance Ph, the country’s premier association for financial technology and digital innovators. This year’s theme, “AI Unlocked: Shaping Our Digital Future,” addresses the multifaceted impact of artificial intelligence on the finance industry, infrastructure, regulations, digital marketing, labor force, education, healthcare, and more.

The summit was opened by the organization’s Founding Chairman Lito Villanueva, who emphasized the responsibility of leaders to tackle critical issues such as deep fakes, digital security, and workplace evolution. “Together, we renewed our commitment to make finance accessible to all Filipinos and propel the country toward becoming an AI-ready nation,” he stated.

He also shared five key developments made by the organization over the past couple of years which are:

  1. The Philippine fintech sector achieved the government’s growth goals ahead of the target set by NEDA for 2028.
  2. Last year’s Bagong Pilipinas pavilion showcased various Philippine fintech players during the Singapore Fintech Festival, and plans are in place to do it again this year, 2024.
  3. Fintech Alliance PH is one of the 14 fintech organizations in Asia that pioneered and founded the Asia Fintech Alliance to enhance regional collaboration.
  4. The continuous growth of Fintech Alliance PH in membership, which is now composed of over 100 corporate members, and future initiatives aimed at enhancing its representation.
  5. Fintech Alliance PH remains a significant government partner in governance and compliance. The organization recently won the 2024 Cybersecurity Innovation Award for the Philippines at the Banking and Finance Wholesale Banking Awards for its 2023 campaign, #WagMagpalokoMagingScamAlerto, a campaign to educate consumers on digital scams and crimes.

A key focus of the discussions centered on AI’s innovation potential, with an emphasis on safe risk management and responsible usage. Chuchi G. Fonacier, Deputy Governor of the Financial Sector at Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), shared, “While the BSP recognizes the significance of AI, our focus must remain on responsible usage. Exciting times await, but we need to be vigilant.” FinTech Alliance Ph aims to adapt Europe’s AI Act (2024), the first legal framework addressing AI risks, in a manner suited for the Philippines.

Kathy Mercado, president of the Philippine Marketing Association (PMA), highlighted how they are leveraging AI in marketing by customizing ads and engaging customers with multilingual capabilities.

Arianne Ferrer, External Affairs Director of Tala Financing, described AI as a “wonderful tool” for increasing financial access for Filipinos. Similarly, Eugene Acevedo, CEO and President of RCBC, acknowledged the challenges of integrating AI while noting that “…for banks like us, customers come first, and technology helps us serve them better.”

Manila Tech Summit: Highlighted the transformative potential of AI across sectors.

 

In the field of education, Dr. Robby Galang, Dean of the Ateneo John Gokongwei School of Management, stressed that critical thinking regarding AI usage must become a priority. “We must teach students not just to answer questions but to evaluate information,” he noted.

In the healthcare sector, a panel featuring Quintin Pastrana (CEO of MWell), Dr. Regidor Encabo (President of the Philippine Society of Cardiovascular Catheterization and Interventions), Jason Jalandoni (President of NOVA Health), and Carl Ng (General Partner of Verge Health Tech Fund) concurred that while AI is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool, human oversight and ethical considerations are paramount in its implementation.

The Manila Tech Summit highlighted the transformative potential of AI across sectors, advocating for responsible usage and innovation to shape the Philippines’ future. As industry leaders, educators, and stakeholders gathered to explore AI’s ability to enhance financial access, improve marketing strategies, and advance education, it became evident that collaboration and vigilance are vital in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Capping off day one, FinTech Alliance Ph hosted a mixer at Kao Manila, providing attendees with an opportunity to network and share ideas in an informal setting, further reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the summit.

RCBC’s digital app records 290% spike in downloads during holiday season

Multi-awarded and leading digital challenger bank Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) recorded a 290% growth in downloads of its newly launched one-stop-shop RCBC Pulz app.

RCBC announced its offering of zero bank transfer fees for InstaPay transactions below Php 1,000 on its digital banking app RCBC Pulz until January 31, 2024, resulting in a 35% increase in transaction volume and 33% surge in transaction value versus the same period a year ago. Its social media campaign generated over 8 million views and 17 million impressions in less than a week.

In addition, the bank also launched a promo giveaway of three (3) iPhone 15 devices to those who opened RCBC Pulz accounts from December 10, 2023 to January 10, 2024. RCBC also simplified its digital account opening in minutes which only required one government I.D. and a smartphone.

RCBC President and CEO Eugene S. Acevedo said that the Christmas promo was the bank’s way of expressing its gratitude to Filipinos who have embraced digital banking and included RCBC’s solutions into their everyday lives. He added that the promo was also in-line with the BSP’s vision of integrating digital banking into the mainstream Filipino lifestyle.

“RCBC kicked off this festive season by presenting our customers with this significant treat – free bank transfers. Recognizing that bank transfer fees can be an additional expense in our fast-paced digital lifestyles, it is fitting for a pioneering digital bank to make these transactions free, encouraging all Filipinos to digitize the tradition of gift giving this holiday season,” said Acevedo.

To increase their chances of winning, RCBC Pulz users should actively use their accounts during the promotion period, engaging in cashless withdrawals, bank transfers, deposits, foreign currency exchange, bill payments, e-loading, and more. Filipinos abroad during the holidays can also participate by opening an RCBC Pulz Account with their international number. Three lucky winners will be selected to receive an iPhone 15 through an online raffle draw on January 24, 2024.

“Our holiday offer is in line with the Philippines’ vision of making retail payments digital. Since the BSP launched the Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap, RCBC has been a reliable and steadfast partner in scaling digital channels and payment systems to make retail payments in digital platforms lucrative, safe, and hassle-free to all Filipinos. This promo is another significant step to ramp-up our collective efforts to instill the digital way of banking into the social fabric of Filipino life,” said RCBC executive vice president and chief innovation and inclusion officer Lito Villanueva.

RCBC has emerged as the fastest-growing bank in the country, leaping from eighth position in 2018 to fifth in 2022 among the Philippines’ largest privately-owned banks in terms of assets. The bank has received numerous global, regional and national accolades, including being named the Philippines’ Best Bank for Digital by Asiamoney for four consecutive years, receiving the Eye on Innovation Award by Gartner, and being honored as the Grand Champion for Digital Payments and Financial Inclusion by the Bankers Institute of the Philippines. RCBC also claimed the top spot in the Philippine Best Customer Service 2023 survey conducted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and global research firm Statista.
