Globe has provided military front liners in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic with Cellular Signal Boosters, mobile phones with load credits and Globe at Home Prepaid WiiFi devices in their offices, communication trucks and vans and checkpoint stations deployed all over Luzon.
Globe hopes the support will make the exchange of guidance, information and communications between the different uniformed services--Philippine Army, Philippine Navy and Philippine Air Force--of the Armed Forces of the Philippines faster, reliable and accessible during the implementation of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) as a part of the government’s strategic campaign to stop the pandemic from further spreading in other parts of the country.

For his part, Vice Admiral Giovanni Carlo Bacordo, Flag Officer in Command of the Philippine Navy, acknowledged the support given by the company.
“The Philippine Navy is grateful for the assistance received from Globe Telecommunication, Inc. in enhancing the Philippine Navy’s communication requirements as it helps the government mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This donation will ensure an improved communication connectivity among fleet-marine teams deployed to the different quarantine control points,” Bacordo added.
Among the units that has received support from Globe include:
- The Philippine Navy Headquarters in Roxas Boulevard, Manila
- The Presidential Security Group in Malacanang Complex
- Army Signal Regiment in Ft. Bonifacio, Taguig City
- Philippine Navy Bonifacio Naval Station, Ft. Bonifacio
- AFP Communications Van stationed in SLEX, Cavitex
- Philippine Navy Frontline Support deployed at the Marikina Sports Complex Quarantine Facility
- Army station deployed at Marcos Highway in Marikina
Globe is also looking at the possibility of extending the assistance to boost the signal of more AFP units deployed in other parts of Luzon.
Globe has been providing fast, reliable and accessible internet access to various hospitals all over Metro-Manila and Luzon, including several government designated quarantine areas, supermarkets, NAIA terminals and in other key areas to keep people from being connected with their loved ones and be updated of all government efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic.
