Globe sets new standard in retail as it opens its Generation 3 flagship stores simultaneously in Manila and Cagayan de Oro

December 17, 2014 0
PRESS RELEASE

Setting a new global standard in retail experience, Globe Telecom unveiled today its Generation 3 Stores simultaneously in SM North EDSA, Quezon City, Manila and in Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro.

The Globe Gen3 stores will further engage and delight customers by fueling their passion in the areas of music, entertainment, productivity, and life. With the opening of the GEN3 Stores, Globe has topped some of the iconic stores in the US and around the world.

 “Globe is proud to bring to Filipino consumers another world-standard differentiated experience. Our passion for our customers inspires us to end the year on a high note by bringing innovation a notch higher in our stores, one of our key customer touch points, allowing us to truly empower our customers' digital lifestyles,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO.

The Globe GEN3 stores are home to various lifestyle zones with stories and exciting features for customers to experience and enjoy. These zones feature latest trends in product, people and even in business. Various lifestyle vignettes illustrate mobile and broadband technologies as connected solutions—featuring the latest devices, apps, digital connectors gadgets and services that contribute to the total interactive customer experience.

The lifestyle zones will also highlight the stories of brand ambassadors every quarter. The store is a platform for the introduction of must-watch personalities who are blazing new trails in their respective Art, Community and Technology spaces. For the first quarter of 2015, with Music as the main theme, Globe GEN3 will feature four of the coolest DJs of this generation: DJ Badkiss, Callum David, Mars Miranda, and Eric Capilli - who all have inspiring success stories in their chosen career. In the coming months, it will also feature the aspiring story of JR Dela Paz, a Globe myBusiness ambassador and owner of fast-rising restaurant chain Size Matters.

The Globe GEN3 Store will also serve as a venue to introduce the latest products, devices, and services offered by Globe. To start, it is the first retailer in Asia to introduce and carry Google Cardboard, the fold-your-own virtual reality headset. Consumers can definitely expect more exciting products rolling out in the next quarters.

Apart from reconfigured store displays, customers can also check out the Play Bar to explore the different featured apps and sit through one-on-one service consultations. Self-service tools are available that allow better interaction with customer representatives through a video hotline.

“Exciting, unexpected, and experiential are the words to describe our GEN3 Stores. The concept and design of the GEN3 Stores have undergone intense research and consultation with the world’s top-notch designers and architecture experts. We are inviting customers to explore and be inspired by the stores’ four zones—music, entertainment, productivity, and life so they can fully enjoy a wonderful world,” said Joe Caliro, Globe Head of Retail Transformation and Management.

The Globe GEN3 Stores are designed by Tim Kobe, founder and CEO of Eight, Inc. His most famous work is the Apple Store in New York. On his design plan for GEN3, Tim Kobe shared, “The space is dynamic. It changes with new stories and experiences that support different events and moments. We have elements that move and reconfigure, the way entertainment venues support great concerts or shows.”

Tim Kobe also shared the importance of functionality in the Globe GEN3 Stores, saying “Retail is one touch point where brands build relationships and sell products and services. It is important today to have a place to demonstrate what you stand for. More than 50% of the reason why someone engages with a brand comes from word of mouth. Interestingly, 80% of word of mouth comes from direct experience. Designing the experience is critical to building brand advocates.”

Leading up to the launch of the GEN3 Stores, Globe collaborated with homegrown Philippine artists who took part in one of the telco’s biggest transformation projects to better serve its customers. Led by multi-awarded artist Ross Capili, the artists turned their design inspirations into live art galleries, showcasing murals exhibiting Globe’s brilliant vision, complementing the look, feel, and experience of its GEN3 Stores.

By 2015, Globe is set to convert more of its existing stores into GEN3 Stores to bring the world-class telco retail experience to more Filipinos.

GLOBE TELECOM PUBLIC ADVISORY

December 04, 2014 0
Globe Telecom advises its customers in Eastern Visayas to take necessary measures in preparation for Typhoon Hagupit, which entered the Philippine area of responsibility today.  The typhoon is expected to hit some of the areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda about a year ago.

The telecommunications provider urges its customers to charge their cellphones and other mobile devices, in case the weather anomaly causes extended commercial power failure. The company suggests customers may also opt to buy alternative source of energy such as power banks and rechargeable lamps with USBs.

Here are some tips to conserve battery life of smartphones:
1.       Log off or turn off unnecessary mobile apps or at least disable push notifications for nonessential apps
2.       Turn off unnecessary radios such as GPS, blue tooth and Wi-Fi.
3.       Switch off vibrate function and utilize ring tone instead.
4.       Turn off sync function.
5.       Dim LCD screens and shorten screen timeout
6.       Minimize notifications and use phone only when necessary

Customers in areas identified in the path of Typhoon Hagupit should also make sure their respective lists of contacts are in order. Contact lists should include emergency numbers such as the nearest hospital, police stations and barangay or community leaders.
            
                Globe Senior Vice-President for Corporate Communications Yoly Crisanto said, “We are now strengthening our disaster-preparedness program in terms of added facilities, supplies, infrastructure, and manpower support so we can immediately attend to network and service concerns that may arise due to the typhoon,” she said.

Globe regional teams are being mobilized to ensure they are well equipped to address network issues that could arise from the typhoon.   Preparations include deployment of back-up supplies, power tools and infra materials, spares and back-up fuel.  Crisanto added that the company's disaster-preparedness program also include employee-safety measures to be implemented in areas that will likely be affected.

Crisanto said the company is coordinating closely with government authorities, specifically the National Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Council or NDRRMC to ensure its disaster-preparedness program is aligned with both the national and local government efforts.

Globe Telecom mulls expanding operations in Asean region

November 25, 2014 0


Globe Telecom President & CEO Ernest Cu said the Philippine telecommunications provider is exploring the possibility of expanding its operations within the ASEAN region to complement relatively strong economic growth within the region.

“We will look for white space within Asean and Asia on where to leverage the skills we’ve developed overtime and we do think we’ve developed a decent telco business here in the Philippines. We have a great team and we’re thinking of ways to leverage that further in emerging economies,” Cu said in a video shown at the recent APEC CEO Summit in Beijing, China.  The APEC CEO Summit is a premier business event, attended by thousands of economic and business leaders from around the region.

Cu specifically cited Myanmar as a potential expansion area. “There’s already a telco player in Myanmar but there are other areas we could get involved in, like financial services and mobile advertising and these areas have potential,” he said.

As a telco provider, Globe has taken the direction of providing products and services most relevant to customers amid fast-paced evolution of digital technologies. “We’ve always taken the position that if consumer habits are changing, then we have to change along with it and deliver what’s relevant to them. The real prize would be getting all of these individuals to access the internet through their mobile phones and alternatives offered by different mobile apps become more commonplace and become the main mode of communication,” said Cu.

 Cu earlier said Globe is considering the possibility of offering its mobile-based banking service to other Southeast Asian markets once the ASEAN integration is in place. Globe operates GCash, the mobile money service of its subsidiary G-Xchange Inc. It also operates BanKO, a mobile-based, microfinance-focused savings bank, along with Bank of the Philippine Islands and Ayala Corp.

By 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community sets in motion the creation of single market and production base for the 10-nation bloc fostering free flow of goods, services, skilled labor, investments and capital. ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Cu’s vision of expanding Globe Telecom’s operations in the Asean region mirrors goals expressed by other CEOs surveyed by PwC International Survey Unit. The APEC CEO Survey was conducted between June and August 2014 covering 635 CEOs and industry leaders across 39 countries with operations in APEC economies.

Based on the survey, 57% of the CEO respondents said they are either building or expanding facilities in APEC economies in the next 3 to 5 years. The survey found that 67% of executives plan to increase investment in the APEC region over the next 12 months. Their plans are spread over each of the 21 APEC member economies with China, the US, Indonesia, Hong Kong-China and Singapore as the most popular destinations for investment.

The Philippines will be hosting the APEC Summit next year.  An intergovernmental grouping currently composed of 21 member economies, APEC focuses on three key areas namely trade and investment liberalization, business facilitation and economic and technical cooperation.

Bayan-Globe calls for dismissal of CA case

November 05, 2014 0
PRESS RELEASE

Bayantel Telecommunications and Globe Telecom called for the dismissal of the PLDT-instigated case for “utter lack of merit” at the Court of Appeals (CA). 

In the Joint Rejoinder of Bayan-Globe to the 17th Division of the CA last October 30, both telcos also asked the CA to correspondingly lift the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) it issued last October 9 against NTC and to deny the granting of a writ of preliminary injunction.

In the said Joint Rejoinder, Globe maintains that PLDT’s “pushing its ‘bully’s agenda’ on flimsy grounds shows it will stop at nothing to prevent a five-billion peso (Php 5,000,000,000) rehabilitation effort by Globe from seeing the light of day”. Globe also insists that “ironically, petitioner (PLDT) has the audacity to pontificate that Bayantel and Globe are the ones conspiring ‘to create an anti-competitive environment’ in the telco industry”.

Bayan-Globe showed the CA that PLDT’s overstated right to be protected has no basis since Bayan’s rehabilitation will simply put back a far third player on its feet – not becoming “unfair competition” at all. 

Bayan’s co-use of its radio frequencies with Globe “are not at all inimical to petitioner PLDT nor to the industry or the subscribing public as they will not only mean the success of Bayan’s rehabilitation but a benefit for the rapidly expanding consumer market by empowering them with more choices and faster and better products and services”.

“Furthermore, there is no issue on the need for a Congressional approval with the alleged franchise transfer since what is being transferred are only Bayan’s shares of stock and not its franchise.”  The joint petition also cited the Supreme Court ruling in the case “PLDT v. NTC”, that the “transfers of shares of a public utility corporation need only NTC approval, not Congressional authorization”. 

Industry pundits recall that the naked monopolistic power that PLDT would exercise over the budding telco industry was unshackled by the telecoms deregulation law – RA 7925 – only for this law to be continuously frustrated by PLDT’s damaging adventures like its latest tactics in preventing Bayan, its employees and current customers from realizing the fruits of the Pasig RTC – approved rehabilitation plan.
