We are thankful to our customers for believing in us and staying with us.  We will continue our efforts to deliver a #1stWorldNetwork and affordable products and services that meet the changing needs and demands of our customers,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President and Chief Executive Officer.

Covering 1,593 respondents nationwide, the survey sought to understand and gather general insights on the Filipino population’s perceptions and preferences on the mobile phone network operator sector in the Philippines.

Almost a third of the respondents or 32.2% were 18-24 years old, 23.8% were aged 25 -34, and 22% were in the 35-44 age range. The rest were 45 years old and above. More than half or 52.3% of the respondents were male, while 47.7% were female. Over half of them, 56.2%, were from Luzon, 21.1% were from Visayas, and 22.7% were from Mindanao.

The Method Research said competition among mobile operators in the Philippines is now fiercer than ever with the entry of DITO.  In response, Globe ensures that it can deliver fast and reliable connectivity to Filipinos by ramping up network modernization and expansion efforts.

At the same time, Globe has gone beyond telco.  It has ventured into fintech, healthtech, adtech, e-commerce, edutech, and entertainment to address the various pain points of consumers and businesses, especially with the continuing pandemic.
