Reflecting on the partnership, Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe, highlighted the impact of collaboration and shared values, emphasizing the commitment to using technology and community engagement for meaningful change.
Over the past year, the partnership between Globe and SMAC has supported immediate relief efforts and initiatives by Hapag Movement implementing partners Ayala Foundation Inc, Tzu Chi Foundation, and World Vision, including supplementary feeding and livelihood projects.
Jay Beltran, Head of Sales and Marketing at Digital Advantage Corporation (DAC), which operates SMAC, expressed inspiration from the Hapag Movement’s work and the significant results achieved in the previous campaign, prompting the decision to renew their efforts this year.
With the partnership renewal, Globe and SMAC aim to expand the reach and impact of the Hapag Movement to address the prevalence of involuntary hunger among Filipino families.
