CUSTOMERS of Globe Telecom, Inc. can now convert their unused data into rewards points that can be donated to victims of Typhoon Odette.
The telecommunications company said that starting Jan. 15, its customers can go to the rewards section of the GlobeOne app and convert data from the account of their choice to help typhoon victims via donations.
“Data conversion is as follows: 1 gigabyte (GB) = P10; 5GB = P50; (and) 10GB = P100,” Globe said in a statement.
“Mobile customers both prepaid and postpaid, as well as home broadband customers both prepaid and volume-based postpaid, can convert their points into donations via the new GlobeOne app,” the company added.
According to Globe, the donations will be used in the relief efforts of Ayala Foundation, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, Tzu Chi Foundation, ABS-CBN Foundation, and PGH Foundation in areas affected by Typhoon Odette.
The telecommunications firm added that donations via Globe rewards and GCash are still open for interested individuals.
“Our aim is to arm our customers with as many options as possible to help and reach our kababayans (compatriots) affected by Typhoon Odette — all from the safety of their homes. This first-in-the-industry Data-As-Currency offer gives our customers means not only to maximize their data subscriptions, but also extend a helping hand,” Globe Chief Commercial Officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira said. — Revin Mikhael D.
