The country’s leading telecom company, Globe Telecom and The Walt Disney Company, Philippines, announced a major collaboration to promote volunteerism among Filipinos.
The two companies partnered to launch “Time Please,” a nationwide volunteering program that encourages and empowers Filipinos including companies, organizations, employees, families, and friends to provide volunteer activities or participate in existing volunteer programs. Time Please supports the telco’s commitment to nine (9) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and appeals to the Filipino strong culture of volunteerism rooted in the bayanihan spirit to collectively contribute to social development.
Through the volunteer matching portal www.timeplease.ph, developed with Globe Future Maker iVolunteer Philippines and the volunteer portal of Gawad Kalinga, Time Please strives to match individuals or groups of volunteers with various volunteering opportunities around the country. Companies, organizations or groups with existing volunteer programs can also enlist their volunteer activities in the platform and get their volunteer hours registered in this initiative.
Miguel Bermundo, Globe Telecom Head for Citizenship talks
about how Filipinos can share their time through volunteerism via Time Please.Ph
at Cafe Tavera, Davao City on June 13.
“We look at Time Please to extend Globe Telecom’s purpose-led culture to our customers. With the help of technology, we wish to make volunteering more accessible to many Filipinos, thereby, making it easier for our partners and customers to contribute to nation building,” said Ernest Cu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Globe Telecom.
“Disney VoluntEARS are committed to supporting and inspiring communities by dedicating our time and skills to help kids and families in need. Time Please is a unique platform that allows kids and families to spend meaningful time together for social good,” shared Veronica Cabalinan, Country Manager of The Walt Disney Company, Philippines. “We believe that it is our collective responsibility to be at the service of the community where we live.”
Globally, the Philippines ranked 7th for the highest number of people volunteering their time with 25 million Filipinos volunteering in 2016 (Charities Aid Foundation [CAF] World Giving Index 2017). Volunteer activities are mobilized by various sectors, such as non-government organizations (NGOs), government agencies, companies usually through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) departments or corporate foundations, the academe via school activities such as Brigada Eskwela, and the private sector.
Time Please provides a robust menu of volunteering activities and unites the volunteering ecosystem by connecting the volunteers to volunteer organizations using a simple, convenient and easy to understand web platform. Through any device with online access, individuals from all regions in the Philippines can now sign up for free and form groups to join volunteer activities enrolled in Time Please.
Time Please will run from May 25 to August 19, 2018 and is open to individuals willing and capable to do volunteer work. Each group should have a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4) individuals to be able to join. The group should also nominate a Team Leader who is at least 18 years of age with an active Globe or TM number to register the group.
The group with the most number of volunteer hour credits at the end of the program will win an all-expense paid trip for 4 to Hong Kong Disneyland.
Globe customers, partners, and other organizations are invited to register and volunteer at www.timeplease.ph and at the volunteer portal of Gawad Kalinga.
MIKO DAVID TALKS ON ONLINE MEDIA CONSUMPTION
IN THE PHILIPPINES AND MAXIMIZING
REACH FOR ONLINE CHANNELS
Miko David, talks before Davao Digital Influencers and Davao Media
on Online Media Consumption in the Philippines and
Maximizing Reach for Online Channels
at Cafe Tavera, Davao City on June 13.
On the same event Globe Telecom also initiated a digital talk with bloggers and media of Davao City as audience. Miko David, the Co-Founder of David and Golyat, a digital strategy consulting firm, delivered the most interesting digital talk I have attended so far this 2018 - The Talk on Online Media Consumption in the Philippines and Maximizing Reach for Online Channels.
He shared on-point digital hacks every social media savvy should know to get ahead of their competitors in this fast-paced, constantly changing digital industry.
And as a bonus for taking time to read this blogpost, I’d like to share one tip I took away from the lecture.
During the course of the talk, I asked a question whether Facebook will show your sponsored post/ad to same audience over the course of time your ad is running? Miko David’s answer was yes. So to refrain Facebook from showing you ad to same audience over and over again, you need to change parameters – your target age, your target gender etc. to maximize your presence on this platform. That way you get all bases covered.
Thank you so much Globe for holding informative talk with real authority in the field as speaker.
