Globe lends resources vs global hunger
Recent data from the Social Weather Stations survey reveals that 16.8 percent of Filipinos experience moderate hunger, while 6.1 percent face severe hunger

Telco giant Globe has reaffirmed its commitment to combating food insecurity in honor of World Food Day 2024 as hunger rates continue to rise across the Philippines.
Guided by the global theme, "Right to Food for a Better Life and a Better Future — Leave No One Behind," Globe is taking meaningful action to address this critical issue.
Through its Hapag Movement and Employee Volunteering Engagement Program, the company has provided essential food support to individuals and families, including Indigenous Peoples (IP) groups, struggling with involuntary hunger.
Recent data from the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey reveals that 16.8 percent of Filipinos experience moderate hunger, while 6.1 percent face severe hunger.
The crisis is particularly severe in Mindanao and the Visayas, where hunger rates have nearly doubled, severely impacting low-income communities.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Globe rallied its employees and partners to deliver relief to those affected, fostering a culture of active community service and encouraging its workforce to create positive change.
In response, 480 employees joined a food repacking marathon at The Globe Tower, together with Rise Against Hunger PH.
This collective effort produced 3,060 food packs that benefited 18,360 individuals in places devastated by recent typhoons.
Employee volunteers in Cebu City assisted in packing and distributing food supplies to 220 families at the Cebu City Operation Second Chance Center and Balay Samaritano, a collaboration between Globe and the Ayala Foundation.
“Globe’s commitment to nation-building is truly inspiring. Their employees’ dedication to volunteering to help our communities is commendable. Together, Ayala Foundation and Globe can make a significant impact in addressing hunger and improving lives,” Marlito Cabigas, senior associate for VisMin, Corporate Citizenship and Volunteerism, Ayala Foundation, said.
