Village Connect
In a move to bring digital services closer to where they matter most, Globe has launched a new pop-up store in the heart of Bohol, aiming to serve both locals and the growing wave of tourists with seamless connectivity and customer support.
Located at the Upper Ground Floor of Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City, the pop-up store is Globe’s response to the province’s rising demand for faster, more accessible mobile and broadband solutions. Bohol’s tourism industry is booming—just this February 2025, the island welcomed over 70,000 guests, contributing to a 7.3% jump in foreign tourist arrivals compared to early 2024. As digital needs grow alongside foot traffic, Globe is stepping in to ensure no one gets left offline.
“This initiative is all about accessibility,” said Chai Alano, Globe’s Vice President for Channel Management. “We want to bring our services directly to the people of Bohol and to travelers who need instant, reliable connectivity while exploring the island.”
The pop-up offers a full range of services, from prepaid SIM cards ideal for tourists and digital nomads, to postpaid plan applications and renewals for residents. Globe’s broadband offerings, including GFiber Prepaid and Globe At Home, are also available, providing households and small businesses with high-speed internet essential for remote work, online bookings, and digital transactions.
For small hotels, restaurants, and cafés catering to visitors, Globe’s fiber connectivity opens up more possibilities—supporting online reservations, enabling delivery apps, and enhancing guest experiences through in-store WiFi. It’s a win-win for the local economy and the travelers it hosts.
Customers can also settle bills on-site using various payment methods and get technical support for any service issues—making the store a true one-stop digital hub. Whether you’re a Boholano needing faster service or a tourist navigating the island, the pop-up ensures you’re connected with ease.
As Globe continues to roll out similar efforts across the country, the Bohol store stands as a strong example of the company’s mission to power progress in both rural and high-growth areas. Reliable service, made more reachable—right where it counts.
