Globe customers raise P1.9M for ‘Odette’ survivors

GLOBE customers raised P1,925,284 worth of Globe and TM Rewards points to help survivors of Typhoon “Odette,” sending critical aid to families reeling from the impact of the deadly December storm.

The donations were turned over to Globe’s partner organizations — Ayala Foundation, GMA Kapuso Foundation and Rise Against Hunger Philippines.

The support came at a crucial time when typhoon survivors needed lifesaving aid, as Odette destroyed over 344,000 houses and damaged more than one million others. A total of 406 people were killed, while 1,265 were hurt and 65 remain missing.

The destruction displaced over 58,000 families, leaving them straining for basic needs. “The devastation left by Typhoon Odette called for a swift response. We are very grateful to our customers who are with us in this undertaking,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

She said, “The rewards points that they donated will go a long way in helping step up humanitarian efforts to help as many people as we possibly can.”

Other donation partners that extend support to disaster survivors are ABS-CBN Foundation and the Tzu Chi Foundation.

Globe Rewards currently has 15 nongovernment organizations, charitable institutions and foundations in its program roster, supporting several advocacies in line with the company’s vision toward national development and upliftment of lives.

Globe and TM customers can still donate their rewards points to ongoing relief operations for as low as P1 via the New GlobeOne app at glbe.co/New

GlobeONE.

Customers can go to the Rewards section, click the “Donate” icon, choose the organization and corresponding denomination, and then press “Redeem.” A confirmation message will be sent by 4438 upon successful donation. To learn more about Globe, visit www.globe.com.ph.
