Beyond reading books: Globe empowers the next generation of changemakers

From student leaders and tech innovators to artists and community advocates, a new wave of Filipino youth is reshaping what it means to be changemakers—with Globe walking beside them every step of the way.

Through its Globe Community Builders Program, the brand continues to open doors for students across the country to discover their purpose, showcase their creativity, and turn bold ideas into real impact. Whether through internships, mentorships, creative platforms, or volunteer opportunities, Globe is helping bridge the gap between school life and real-world experience.

And for these four young trailblazers, that support has made all the difference.

From org member to intern, now building communities

Christiane Guanzon of De La Salle University-Dasmariñas first encountered Globe at a campus “Kapihan” session. Back then, he thought Globe was just a telco. Today, he’s an intern—and a key part of Globe’s youth engagement efforts.

“I used to think Globe was just about tech. But through all these events and conversations, I saw how much they genuinely invest in community-building,” Christiane reflects.

His journey moved quickly: from attending a Marvel screening to volunteering at Pitch Day, a Globe-led initiative that gives student organizations a platform to present their passion projects and receive expert feedback, mentorship, and potential support from the brand. Held at The Globe Tower, Pitch Day brings together youth leaders, mentors, and Globe teams in one collaborative space to nurture ideas that aim to create social good.

Christiane didn’t just assist in organizing the event—he also stood beside fellow student leaders, mentoring and cheering them on.

“It’s rare to find brands that really trust young people,” he says. “Globe didn’t just let me in the room—they gave me responsibilities, mentorship, and encouragement to lead.”

Turning grief into art, and art into advocacy

When Technological University of the Philippines student Miguel Isiah Diva painted Tails and Trails as a tribute to his late dog, Bochok, he never expected it to change the course of his creative path. But winning the Globe x Art Toys Online Contest opened new doors—giving him a platform and a purpose.

“Winning that contest made me feel seen,” Miguel shares. “As a student, as an artist, and as someone who simply wanted to tell a story that mattered to me.”

The recognition led to a live mural collaboration at Art in the Park, where Miguel joined other artists in painting for Pawssion Project, an animal welfare group supported by Globe.

“It wasn’t just about the art,” Miguel adds. “It was the people I met, the mission behind it, and the feeling that my creativity had a place in the world. Globe helped me realize that my voice—and my brush—can make a difference.”

From outsider to startup founder with a mission

When Franchezka Zapanta moved from Mindanao to Manila for college, she felt like an outsider. Most of her early university years were spent online, and adjusting to the pace of city life was overwhelming. But when she began attending Globe’s youth events, something shifted.Franchezka Zapanta, Founder of BitDigest.io, Trilz, & now a youth mentor during the Globe Community Builders Pitch Day.

“Showing up was my silent act of courage,” she says. “Then one day, I realized: I didn’t feel out of place anymore. I felt welcome.”

That sense of belonging helped her grow. She became president of DLSU SCALE, the university’s startup org, and launched BitDigest.io, a tech platform that she unveiled at The Globe Tower.

At Pitch Day 2025, Franchezka returned—not as a participant, but as a mentor, guiding other young leaders through their own journeys.

“When brands like Globe believe in you, you start to believe in yourself too,” she says. “And that’s when real change begins.”

Creative courage, expressed in every color

Jessie James Valera, a dentistry student from Our Lady of Fatima University, found an unexpected platform for creative freedom through Globe. Outside the classroom, Jessie explores identity and artistry through bold fashion, performance, and makeup—blending disciplines to create what they call “wearable stories.”

“My art isn’t just about the look—it’s about telling a story, expressing emotion, and connecting with others,” Jessie says.

Globe gave Jessie the chance to be part of Art Fair Philippines and Art in the Park, where they met fellow creatives and found a welcoming space to grow their unique style. Through Globe events like Kmmunity Reveluv Night, Jessie also discovered a supportive community that encourages individuality and celebrates authenticity.

“What I learned from all this is that believing in your creative voice—even if it feels different or unconventional—can take you places,” Jessie shares. “I hope other students realize that their quirks are their strengths.”

More than a telco

“At Globe, we’re committed to supporting the Filipino youth—helping them shape their creative journeys and become co-builders of the future,” said Andrew Lim, Lead for Marketing Youth Cultures.

Across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, students are stepping into their potential—through art, tech, leadership, and advocacy. With the right support, they’re not just participating in the future. They’re building it.
