Globe joined the Peñafrancia Festival 2026 in Naga City, bringing connectivity, music, and youth-centered experiences to one of Bicol’s biggest celebrations of faith and culture.
From September 15 to 18, Globe provided WiFi broadband access at key event areas while creating spaces for young Bicolano artists and musicians to showcase their talents. The activities also formed part of the company’s 917 GDay celebration this September, giving residents and visitors more ways to stay connected and share their festival experiences.
“The Peñafrancia Festival is at the heart of Bicolano faith and culture. Globe is honored to be part of this important tradition by helping families, devotees, and visitors stay connected,” said KD Dizon, Globe Chief Marketing Officer. “Beyond connectivity, we also want to give young Bicolanos a bigger stage to share their creativity and talent.”
Celebrating Young Bicolano Talent
