As the Philippines observes National ICT Month this June with the theme "Walang Iwanan sa Digital Bayanihan," Globe Telecom is reaffirming its commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive digital future for all Filipinos through its Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP).

This award-winning initiative has reached more than 11,600 students and educators nationwide in 2025, promoting responsible digital citizenship and privacy awareness in an increasingly connected world.

The ICT Month theme calls for a collective effort to ensure no Filipino is left behind in the digital age. In alignment with this, Globe's DTP addresses real-world issues such as data privacy, cyber safety, and identity protection, empowering users across all sectors to be more mindful of their digital footprints and contribute responsibly to the digital community.

"As we celebrate ICT Month, we are reminded that technology should be a force for inclusion and empowerment," said Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications officer. "Through programs like DTP, we are helping ensure that every Filipino, from students to seniors, can participate in the digital economy safely and responsibly."

With the growing sophistication of online scams, phishing, and identity theft, Globe is reinforcing its dedication to online safety, particularly for children. Through a long-standing partnership with SaferKids PH, Globe champions online safety for children, aiming to protect them from internet dangers such as online sexual abuse and exploitation and other cybercrimes.

Through the DTP, Globe provides Filipinos with practical knowledge to navigate digital spaces responsibly. The program helps participants identify online threats, avoid risky behaviors like oversharing, and adopt safe practices when using social media or conducting online transactions.

By simplifying complex topics such as cybersecurity and digital rights, Globe empowers individuals to take control of their digital presence. Together, the company believes, these efforts move the nation closer to a future where every Filipino is equipped to thrive safely and responsibly in the digital landscape.

Embodying the bayanihan spirit, Globe has brought the DTP to schools and communities across the country, including Bulacan State University, Universidad De Manila, Cebu Technological University, and Northern Iloilo State University.

Through engaging workshops facilitated by Globe's volunteer ambassadors, the program delivers age-appropriate, localized content to young learners, educators, and even senior citizens.

Beyond academic institutions, Globe continues to support lifelong learners through the Senior Digizen program, helping older Filipinos confidently engage with the digital world while staying safe online.

To support every Filipino’s digital journey, Globe encourages the public to practice four key habits for safer online experiences: reviewing privacy settings to control personal information visibility, using secure connections and exercising caution with public Wi-Fi for private accounts, thinking before sharing to avoid scams and fraud, and staying alert for phishing attempts and fake profiles by verifying before clicking.

Globe invites more schools, local government units, and community organizations to partner with them and bring the Digital Thumbprint Program to more Filipinos for free, stressing that collaborative efforts are crucial for building a secure and privacy-respecting digital society as digital spaces grow more complex.
