MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Globe Telecom marked a historic milestone on August 11, 2025, celebrating half a century as a publicly listed company with a ceremonial bell ringing at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) trading floor in Bonifacio Global City. The event underscored Globe’s enduring leadership in the Philippines’ digital transformation and its evolution from a telecommunications provider into a dynamic digital solutions platform.
The ceremony gathered top executives from Globe and parent firm Ayala Corporation, alongside distinguished leaders from the PSE and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Among those present were Ayala Corporation Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Globe President and CEO Carl Raymond R.

From mobile services to cutting-edge digital platforms, the company’s innovations have consistently bridged geographical divides and unlocked economic opportunities.
In his message, Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala reflected on Globe’s journey and shared, “Globe’s listing in 1975 was more than a financial milestone, it was a statement of belief. A belief that through responsible and sustainable enterprise, we could help move the country forward and upward. Over the years, that belief has taken shape in many forms, in stronger connections, in better access, even in new opportunities made possible for every Filipino.”
Globe views this golden anniversary as a shared achievement with the millions of customers it has served. As it steps into its next chapter, the company reaffirms its vision to be the Philippines’ foremost digital solutions platfor – leveraging technology not only to connect but to uplift lives.
