Globe celebrated the 10th year of its 917 GDay event with its first GDay Family Day, turning the newly renovated Museo Pambata into a gathering place for parents and children. Millennial parents who once visited the museum on school trips returned with their own children for a day that included a Disney+ film marathon and family activities.
Denise Fabella, executive director of Khan Academy Philippines, facilitated the introduction and use of the platform as one of the event’s highlight activities.
Globe mobile customers with Globe At Home accounts joined curated sessions that offered bonding activities and giveaways, including tickets to Ocean Park and the Philippine Biodome, Hotel H2O stays, cinema vouchers, and passes to Disney On Ice: Magic in the Stars. Food partners such as Max’s Restaurant, Jamba Juice, and Krispy Kreme provided snacks and drinks throughout the day.
Learning and safety programs were also part of the event. Parents and children aged 7 to 14 took part in sessions led by Khan Academy Philippines, Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program, and the Safe Spaces book initiative, focusing on digital safety, cybersecurity, privacy, and responsible online behavior.
Globe extended the celebration to children from underserved communities through a partnership with Project PEARLS. Families joined guided tours, film showings, face painting, and other activities at the museum.
“GDay Family Day was a powerful reminder that family isn’t just defined by a household, it is shaped by the communities we uplift together,” said Denisse Arao, Globe’s director for marketing for the family segment.
Globe said GDay 2025 aims to highlight small but meaningful experiences that bring families together.
