Suits’ lead star
Gabriel Macht is scheduled to arrive in Ormoc City to raise awareness and
financial aid for survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
His visit is made possible by Globe
Telecom, the country’s leading telecommunications company, in fulfilling its
commitment of building a wonderful and resilient Philippines through its Project Wonderful nation-building
efforts by helping Typhoon Haiyan survivors in Ormoc City, Leyte.
In partnership with the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Globe has been granting
business to beneficiaries identified by DSWD as part of its Sustainable
Livelihood Program (SLP), a community-based capacity-building program that
seeks to improve the socio-economic status of program participants.
“We are committed to contribute
to nation-building by providing relevant entrepreneurship and livelihood opportunities
among typhoon Yolanda survivors in Ormoc City so they can rise again and move
forward,” said Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu. “We hope that through this
project, we will be able to teach them to manage sustainable micro-enterprises
that will help them move from survival to self-efficiency,” he added.
“Project Wonderful is thankful to
Mr. Gabriel Macht for coming in to support us.”
As part of its Project Wonderful
program, Globe takes strides in rebuilding the nation with initiatives which will
benefit schools, homes, and livelihood opportunities. Bringing global attention to its commitment
to livelihood, Project Wonderful is hoping that through the support of a high-
caliber actor such as Macht, more support will come in months to come.
“Witnessing the devastation of typhoon Haiyan, I felt
compelled to raise awareness and financial aid to help thousands of people
still struggling to get back on their feet. There is so much work still to do.
I'm excited to be a part of rebuilding and I'm hoping that so many more will
join the effort,” Macht shared.
Project Wonderful is a program
that reinforces Globe Telecom’s commitment to subscribers, businesses, and the
nation. Project Wonderful has three (3)
pillars: Nation-building, which aims to build a wonderful and
resilient country with programs that will rebuild homes and schools as well as
provide livelihood opportunities to individuals and families in need, Culture-building,
which shapes Globe to become a more customer-centric organization, fueled by a
common passion to help and live a culture of service guided by its renewed
mission, vision, and values, and Brand-building, which brings to
life the telco’s passion and commitment to the customer as a strong challenger
brand that leads the industry with innovative and relevant products and
services.
