Globe’s Diversification Strategy Pays off with Record-High Non-telco Revenues in 2022 #Globe #Telco #Philippines

Globe continues to expand its beyond-telco initiatives with a growing portfolio of digital companies, leading to record-high non-telco revenues of ₱4.2 billion in 2022 from ₱2 billion the previous year. This was mainly due to the outstanding performance of Electronic Commerce Payments, Inc. (EC Pay), Yondu, and Asticom Group of Companies.
“We are proud of the progress we have made in our non-telco initiatives. Our commitment to delivering innovative digital solutions has allowed our portfolio companies to be at the forefront of disrupting traditional industries, providing more opportunities and value to our stakeholders,” said Globe Group President and CEO Ernest Cu.
For one, ECPay reported significant growth in digital merchant partners as many Filipinos shifted to digital channels. It has a general trade retail base of 423,761, exceeding its target of 400,000. Top-notch IT solutions company Yondu provides Philippine businesses with cloud services and software development, among other innovative technology solutions.
Asticom, a tech-enabled shared and outsourcing services company, now manages more than 5,000 employees from a mere five employees in 2015 and serves over 200 clients from all over the country. It now operates as the Asticom Group of Companies with four subsidiaries: Asti Business Services Inc. (ABSI), HCX Technology Partners Inc. (HCX), Fiber Infrastructure and Network Services Inc. (FINSI), and its newest venture, Acquiro Solutions and Tech Inc.
Globe’s venture into digital solutions through 917Ventures has also produced remarkable results with GCash, the only Philippine unicorn valued at over $2 billion. GCash sustains its market leadership with 76 million registered users, 5.8 million merchants, and 855 GLife merchant partners. It has pioneered and scaled digital financial services, including loans, credit, savings, and insurance, disbursing over ₱57 billion in loans to 2 million unique borrowers.
Telehealth service providers KonsultaMD, HealthNow, and AIDE, the three largest players in the digital healthcare industry, last year consolidated to uplift the healthcare journey, providing easy, reliable, and affordable end-to-end patient care. It now has a base of 2 million users and is available in over 50,000 retail outlets nationwide.
AdSpark and RUSH have also seen impressive growth and success. AdSpark, the award-winning and largest local ad-based data-powered digital media and creative agency, has launched more than 3,100 digital campaigns. Loyalty and e-commerce provider RUSH has made it to the Top 10 e-commerce solutions companies for 2022 of APAC CIO Outlook, the only Philippine firm on the index. RUSH has an aggregated base of over 6 million registered users across 7,000 locations nationwide, proudly serving more than 1,000 merchant partners for its e-commerce solutions.
917Ventures’ portfolio also includes cloud-based multi-channel communication platform m360, online tutorial platform for K-10 EdVenture, study now, pay later IT boot camp KodeGo, customer analytics solution iNQUiRO, and adtech company DeepSea. It focuses on hypergrowth industries including fintech, digital health, adtech, edutech, e-commerce, B2B SaaS, media and entertainment, and climate tech to drive innovation and improve the lives of Filipinos.
Most recently, it partnered with the Ayala Corporation and Gogoro, a Taiwan-based global leader in two-wheel electric vehicle (EV) and battery-swapping technology, to bring to the Philippines Gogoro Smartscooters®, batteries, and swapping stations as part of the push for sustainable transport in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Kickstart Ventures, Inc., Globe’s corporate venture capital arm, manages two funds for Globe and advises the Ayala Corporation Technology Innovation Venture Fund. Kickstart has 61 investments in eight countries and is backing 130 founders, further supporting Globe’s vision of driving innovation and growth in the Philippines.
The Globe Group’s expansion is in line with its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which foster innovation and infrastructure as drivers of economic growth.
It is committed to deliver life-enabling innovations towards the Philippines’ digital transformation.

BTS PH Army Pearls Donates Globe Rewards points to Hapag Movement in celebration of #Hobiuary

BTS PH Army Pearls and Globe Rewards came together for a good cause in celebration of J-Hope’s birthday in February. The energetic and mood-maker rapper of Bangtan turned 29 last February 18, prompting his fandom to make “Hobiuary”— or the fandom’s new term for the month of February— more meaningful by helping those suffering from involuntary hunger through the Hapag Movement.
In this partnership, the BTS Filipino fan base pooled their Globe Rewards points to donate to the Hapag Movement. Hapag Movement is Globe’s banner program that aims to address hunger alleviation and help create sustainable livelihood opportunities for underserved Filipinos. The program is mobilized through Ayala Foundation, Caritas Philippines, Tzu Chi Foundation, and World Vision Philippines.
“We have witnessed J-Hope’s growth as a genius artist. He continues to learn and challenge himself, and we couldn’t be any prouder of him. That’s why this Hobiuary, we’re celebrating his birthday by giving back to the community,” she said.
Mirza Ann Barcenilla, Head and Founder of BTS Army PH Pearls, shared how the group’s love for J-Hope moved them to support the Hapag Movement.
“This is a continued commitment from Globe to deeply engage our dear customers with their passion while doing a Globe of Good through Hapag Movement,” said Mike Magpily, Head of Marketing Strategy at Globe.
Fans came together on March 3 to 5 at the Trinoma Activity Center as a way for them to create a meaningful send off for the idol as he recently announced his enlistment.
A turnover ceremony was held at the end of the event, where a cheque from BTS PH Army Pearls under the Hobiuary fandom project was donated to the Hapag Movement.
The donation period ran until March 5, 2023, with members of BTS PH Army Pearls able to donate their Globe Rewards points for as low as one point. Each point is equivalent to one peso.
The Hapag Movement is Globe’s unified fight against hunger that leverages digital platforms to encourage everyone to help–from individuals to multi-sectoral partners. The movement provides beneficiaries with supplemental feeding and livelihood training. These include technical and vocational training, upcycling programs for mothers, job placement initiatives for college scholars, capacity-building initiatives, and self-sufficiency programs.
Donations to the Hapag Movement may be coursed through the GlobeOne app, GCash or via credit card.
