Globe is redefining the experience for Filipino travelers with an exclusive offer that combines two essentials: affordable connectivity and reliable protection in one unbeatable package. Through its partnership with Oona Insurance, Globe introduces a travel protection bundle that gives customers seamless data roaming and insurance coverage for as low as Php49 (with Php1M coverage) and Php109 (with Php2.5M coverage), making it one of the most accessible and affordable bundles in the market today.

“With Globe Roaming, you’re not just connected but also protected,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Head of Globe International Business. “This bundle sets a new standard in travel convenience, affordability, and peace of mind. Whether you’re a Prepaid or Postpaid customer, you can now travel confidently with reliable data roaming and comprehensive insurance coverage, all in one seamless tap.”

The Best Way to Travel

Unlike standalone eSIMs, local SIMs, or separate insurance plans that leave travelers managing multiple providers and higher costs, Globe’s 2-in-1 bundle offers unmatched value. With Globe Roaming, customers enjoy the ease of staying connected and protected wherever they go, without the hassle of buying services separately.

Coverage is thoughtfully designed to fit every journey, with flexible options that match the validity of roaming packs, whether for a quick getaway, a week-long trip, or an extended stay abroad. Beyond data, Globe delivers peace of mind through reliable protection and dedicated customer support.

"Travel insurance shouldn’t feel like an afterthought, it should move with you. Our collaboration with Globe is another step in making protection more intuitive and built around real journeys, not paperwork. That’s the future we’re building at Oona,” Ashish Arora, Chief Marketing and Partnership Officer, Oona Philippines.

Tap to Book

Booking the bundle is simple and seamless. Customers can open the GlobeOne app, tap Shop, and select their destination country. From there, they can choose a roaming pack that matches the length of their trip. Once confirmed, the insurance benefit is automatically included, removing the need for additional steps. A confirmation is instantly received, and after entering their travel details, the policy is sent directly to their email, ensuring travelers are connected and protected before their flight.

By booking in advance through GlobeOne, customers can travel worry-free, knowing they’re covered from the moment they depart. The Globe Roaming Travel Insurance bundle reaffirms Globe’s role as more than a telco, it is a holistic travel partner for Filipinos around the world.

“Globe is proud to offer the ultimate travel essential that makes global journeys simpler and safer,” added Rivera-Castillo. “This is our way of showing how we care for our customers, by freeing them in choosing between affordability and security because they get both.”

SB19 once again proved why they’re the country’s premier PPop boy band with a show-stopping performance at Fast Zone on October 26. The one-night-only concert experience was a celebration of 7 years since the band’s debut. It was a visual spectacle that brought music, fashion, and style together, as the group teamed up with Filipino fashion icon Francis Libiran, who unveiled a brand-new collection during the show.

It was an evening full of surprises, but perhaps the biggest surprise of the night came when SB19 revealed a teaser for their next project - a brand-new holiday track in partnership with the country’s top e-wallet GCash for its coming holiday campaign.

SB19 teases fans with a sneak peek at their upcoming newest music video with GCash this holiday season

A festive tradition for the group, and well-loved by their fans, the video featured SB19 joyfully dancing atop a Christmas tree of gifts, playing instruments, and debuting fresh choreography in what’s sure to be the next holiday anthem and ultimate LSS of the season.

Fans Were Treated to a Series of Surprises

Even before the concert started, the excitement was already in full swing, and fans had plenty of surprises waiting for them thanks to GCash. Guests got into the festive mood with GCash’s “Merry G” photobooth, where they captured their concert-ready moments around the venue.

New SB19 merch also dropped at the event, such as photocards, bag charms, t-shirts, and sticker sets for fans to take home pieces from the celebration.

The Merry Galo preshow segment of GCash gifted 7 lucky fans with exclusive merch

But the surprises didn’t stop there! Seven lucky fans, selected by random seat number, discovered hidden GCash envelopes under their seats before the start of the concert, each containing premium SB19 merch and exclusive prizes revealed live on stage. 

And once the concert kicked off, the energy kept soaring, especially when guest performer Sarah Geronimo joined SB19 for a live performance of Umaaligid, their collab project from earlier this year.

Beyond the Music: A Night that Redefined Collaboration 

Fast Zone wasn’t just an anniversary show; it was proof that SB19 can do it all. Music, fashion, and storytelling came together in one spectacle that pushed the boundaries of pop performance. And while Fast Zone may have come to a close, the excitement is far from over. In fact, they’re just getting started for what's next in their new era. Up next? Their highly anticipated collaboration with GCash - and its music video is set to drop soon.
