Globe Celebrates National Teachers’ Month with #GlobeWonderfulTeacher Campaign

Globe Telecom joins the academic community with the celebration of the National Teachers’ Month, recognizing the exemplary contributions of teachers to nation-building and development.

The leading telecommunications network partnered with Teach for the Philippines, a for-purpose, non-stock, non-profit organization that works to provide Filipino children with an inclusive, relevant, and excellent education.

With the partnership, Globe, through its digital brand for the youth Globe Prepaid, engaged one of its key leaders to become a guest teacher in the organization’s partner school in Mandaluyong City.

Taking the role of a teacher, Globe Vice President and Head of Prepaid Business Issa Cabreira taught English to the Grade 3 students of Highway Hills Integrated School. Cabreira also shared with the students her work experiences to emphasize the value of education and to inspire the students to strive for success.

“Globe Prepaid continues to strengthen its commitment to nation-building by recognizing the vital role of teachers in the growth of today’s youth. I personally have experienced what it feels like to be a teacher, and even for just a day, I can say that it’s challenging and rewarding at the same time, so we will forever be indebted to our teachers for having molded us to the persons we are now,” shared Cabreira. “In line with this, we also launched our very own social media campaign #GlobeWonderfulTeacher to acknowledge our teachers’ wonderful work in shaping the future of the nation”, she added.

With the #WonderfulGlobeTeacher program, twenty-one (21) teachers will be selected as recipients of the “Globe Wonderful Teachers Awards”, a tribute to mentors who have shown great dedication to their craft.

All students can participate in the campaign by posting selfies on their Facebook and Twitter accounts with the hashtag #GlobeWonderfulTeacher.  Each entry should include a short description on why they consider their nominated teachers wonderful. Prepaid load credits will be awarded to the student and teacher chosen for the winning daily entry.

The National Teachers’ Month is celebrated from September 5 to October 5 by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 242 which recognizes the need to “celebrate the unique role and service that teachers play in guiding families, strengthening communities, and building the nation.” This year, it is anchored on the theme, “My Teacher, My Hero” to acknowledge the teachers.
