But this year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globe.com.ph\/\">Globe<\/a>\u00a0made sure the spotlight also shone on something deeper: protecting the very shores that bring thousands of people together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 100 volunteers gathered at Reyes Beach in Barangay Gumasa for the annual SarBay Coastal Clean-Up. Among them were Globe employees, Globe Trade Distribution partners, representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), students from Mindanao State University \u2013 General Santos, Bantay Dagat members, and staff from the Provincial Government of Sarangani. Together, they collected more than 100 bags of waste\u2014from plastic bottles and straws to cigarette butts, old clothes, tin cans, and rubber debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt&#8217;s easy to celebrate a beautiful beach\u2014but it takes real heart to help preserve it,\u201d said Waldem Hassan, Territory Business Head. \u201cAt Globe, we believe that real progress isn\u2019t just about faster connections or new technology. It\u2019s also about showing up for the communities we serve, and that includes protecting the environment they call home. This clean-up is one small act in our bigger commitment to create a Globe of Good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the biggest beach festival in Mindanao, Sarangani Bay Festival, more fondly known as SarBay Fest, draws massive crowds to the white sand shores of Glan, Sarangani. But beyond the vibrant concerts, parties, and coastal fun, SarBay also promotes environmental consciousness through activities like mangrove planting and beach cleanups, all aimed at preserving the natural beauty of Sarangani Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Globe is proud to support SarBay Fest and other local celebrations across the Philippines, showing up not only to bring connectivity but also to contribute to the joy and meaning behind every community gathering. Whether it\u2019s a small town fiesta or a major cultural event, Globe continues to be present at festivals nationwide\u2014celebrating local spirit, supporting sustainability, and helping create moments that truly matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s easy to celebrate a beautiful beach\u2014but it takes real heart to help preserve it,\u201d said Waldem Hassan, Territory Business Head. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":70343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[2550,33],"class_list":["post-70342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-corporate-social-responsibility","tag-globe-telecom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70342"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70344,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70342\/revisions\/70344"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
