“We regard the company’s increasing tax payment as a testament to our efficient operations even as we  give our customers better service.  This will further help the government in its efforts   to manage the impact of COVID-19 to our economy and the people  hardest hit  by the pandemic,” said Rizza Maniego-Eala, Globe chief financial officer and chief risk officer said.

Innove settled at least P4.8 billion in taxes for 2019, up by 9 percent from its payment in 2018.  

Globe, the telecom unit of the Ayala Group, posted a net profit of P22.28 billion last year, up from P18.62 billion in 2018.  Consolidated service revenues increased 12 percent last year to P149 billion, fueled by the gains from data across mobile, broadband and corporate data services.
