With the recent normalization of
Globe Telecom’s network in the Visayas region following extensive damage
brought by Typhoon Yolanda, local enterprises may now avail of broadband
services offered by the telecommunications provider in the region.
“We recognize the importance of
communication services as a tool that could enhance business opportunities. We
want to help the local economy in these typhoon-hit areas by making it our
priority to restore network services that include not only voice and text
services but also mobile data services, “ said Globe President and CEO Ernest
Cu. He stressed that in support of the government’s
rebuilding efforts, Globe has accelerated the restoration of telco services in
the area to encourage local businesses to resume normal operations, provide
livelihood for local residents and in turn spur the local economy.
Following the devastation wrought
by typhoon Yolanda in the Visayas region, Globe Telecom recently launched
Project Wonderful, which aims to provide support in rebuilding communities
through sustainable development. The company’s corporate response to nation
building, Project Wonderful endeavors to provide shelter to the homeless, bring
education to the children, and generate livelihood opportunities for the
jobless.
For the
housing sector, Globe through a P15-million donation of its mobile and home
broadband brand Tattoo, will build houses in the Gawad Kalinga Rotary Village
in Brgy. Tambulilid, Ormoc, Leyte for the benefit of 100 families as well as
provide livelihood projects for the
residents. Repair kits for 500 homes will also be given to affected host
communities in Culion, Palawan; Daanbantayan, Cebu; and Guiuan, Eastern Samar
in partnership with Habitat for Humanity while another 940 shelter kits will be
distributed in Malaya and Madalag, Aklan in partnership with Non-Timber Forest
Products.
For the
education sector, Globe will establish 100 tent classrooms in totally damaged
elementary and secondary high schools as well as distribute at least 5,000
learning kits for students and teachers in identified tent schools. Latest
