Globe encourages use of digital channels with looming service response slowdown as Covid cases surge in NCR
January 11, 2022 7:13 p.m.
As Covid infections keep rising every day, Globe is not spared from the challenges as many of its employees and vendor partners are either getting sick or have to go on leave to take care of sick loved ones.
“Even as we strive to maintain our service level standards, the reality is that our employees and partners are also human beings. They go through the same challenges as members of the community with rising infections. We sincerely ask for the understanding of our customers,” said Beck Eclipse, Globe Chief Customer Experience Officer.
Globe continues to enhance its contactless digital channels to ensure that essential services are up and available amid the surge in Covid cases. Upgrades are done regularly to introduce new features and ensure readiness to support customers.
“We are encouraging our customers to utilize our digital channels in the safety of their homes. We continue to innovate on all our channels so we can serve them at this time when they need us most,” added Eclipse.
As part of this effort, Globe is transitioning its old GlobeOne app to the new GlobeOne app to improve customers’ experience and enable them to get the support they need in just a few taps. With the old app, postpaid customers can submit service requests like reconnection and change plan, even as we are preparing to transition it to the new version. In the meantime, prepaid customers can use the new GlobeOne app to buy load or promos, track their data usage, and redeem Globe Rewards. More transactions will be available in the new GlobeOne app in the coming months. The new GlobeOne app may be downloaded via App Store or Google Play: https://glbe.co/NewGlobeONE.
Meanwhile, broadband customers may continue to use the Globe At Home app to book a technician visit, view and pay their bills, upgrade their plan, and buy volume boost. Globe assures customers that technicians are ready to help with broadband connection concerns within 24-48 hours upon request.
Globe At Home customers are also welcome to our Viber communities where they can get helpful tips, updates on offers and maintenance activities, and more. At present, there are eight viber communities catering to customers from Alabang villages, Ayala Westgrove, Cavite, Cebu, Naga, Legazpi, Davao, and Valenzuela.

Alternatively, customers may report concerns through Globe’s Digital Assistant at 211 or (02)7-730-1000, or on Facebook Messenger. Concerns raised through these channels will be attended to within 24-48 hours.
Select Globe Stores will be open to handle important transactions like plan application, upgrade, renewal, and reactivation; device pick-up, change ownership, change SIM, device return and replacement, bills payments, GCash cash-ins, and prepaid products.

Jordan Brand’s New Tatum 3 delivers lightweight feel, adaptable performance
1:41 p.m. September 25, 2024
A gold medal. A championship ring. A hunger for more.
After winning on the greatest stages in the game this summer, Jayson Tatum is back for another NBA season — ready to rise to the occasion in his latest signature shoe, the Jordan Tatum 3.
The new, court-ready silhouette has all the features fit for a champion while delivering unmatched style and continuing the Tatum series’ reign as the lightest in the Jordan Brand basketball collection.
“I don’t take having a signature shoe for granted,” Jayson says. “I’m grateful to be in a position where I can co-create with Jordan Brand and have fans connect with me through my shoe. My favorite part of the 3s is the way they take on color, so my hope is that we inspire and energize a lot of people through the colorway storytelling.”
The Tatum 3 is the result of Jayson’s extensive collaboration with Jordan Brand’s footwear designers, who met his needs with a shoe that feels broken in right out of the box, and adapts to the foot without restrictions or pressure. A new upper incorporates insights from athletes’ on-court moves in the Nike Sport Research Lab, layering materials where they matter most for power and comfort, creating a supportive, conforming fit without feeling bulky or stiff.
Cushlon 3.0 foam and a Zoom Air insert work alongside the upper’s firm frame to promote lateral movements that feel smooth and secure, and a herringbone traction pattern propels a superior first step and quick cut while helping hoopers stop on a dime.
The smoothness of Jayson’s play and his commitment to his family are built into the Tatum 3, reflected in fluid lines that represent his uninterrupted approach to the game and the foundation of his family tree. Like the Tatum 2, the name of Jayson’s son, Deuce, is featured on the inside of the tongue, opposite his signature JT logo, and his number 0 is included on the heel along with unique sayings on the heel tabs, specific to each colorway. His popular “Find A Way” quote from his 2023 “humbly” interview is also included on the medial side of the shoe.
The launch colorway, Welcome to the Garden, showcases growth in all areas of Jayson’s life — his family, his game and his pursuit of greatness — in a floral pattern that nods to his home and personal garden, where he’s surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
Jayson first unveiled the new silhouette via the NBA 2K25 cover and during his summer tour of China, where he teamed up with fellow Jordan Brand athletes Luka Dončić, Zion Williamson and Paolo Banchero to connect with local youth and foster their love for the game.
The Tatum 3 will be available globally on jordan.com and select retailers October 10.
