Globe DevCon 2025: Inspiring Students to Innovate in the Digital World

Tweet

Globe reached another milestone in its drive for innovation and talent development with the successful staging of Globe DevCon 2025, the third annual Globe Developers Conference held last October 9 at The Globe Tower in Bonifacio Global City. With the theme “Harnessing the Power to Create,” the full-day event gathered over 1,000 developers, engineers, and students to explore how AI-driven technologies can tackle real-world challenges and create meaningful impact in people’s lives.

More than just a tech gathering, Globe DevCon 2025 served as a launchpad for purpose-driven innovation. The event empowered the next generation of student developers and creators to dream boldly, build meaningfully, and connect with industry leaders shaping the future of digital progress.

“At Globe, we believe the future is built by the bold ideas of today’s youth. Globe DevCon 2025 is more than an event, it’s a launchpad for student innovators to explore, connect, and create with purpose,” says Anne Calma, Head of Marketing Youth Cultures at Globe. “By giving them access to real-world tech and industry mentors, we’re not just inspiring them, we’re investing in the future they’re ready to shape.”

The event saw strong youth participation, with 194 student attendees from 27 universities nationwide, including University of the Philippines - Manila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, National University, University of Batangas, STI Lucena, and Our Lady of Fatima University-Valenzuela. These numbers reflect Globe’s expanding reach among young innovators and its leadership in nurturing digital changemakers across the country.

“I realized that innovation isn’t just about coding, it's about creating change that matters. [Harnessing the Power to Create] means believing that creativity and innovation can coincide to shape a better future,” said John Michael G, Papa, a senior student at Pateros Technological College. “[The Globe DevCon 2025] sparked a fire in me to dream bigger and create impactful, yet meaningful innovation.”

To further learning and engagement, students earned leaderboard points by engaging in student challenges: attending breakout sessions, sharing insights on social media, and redeeming and donating Globe rewards points on the GlobeOne App. Exhibits like MongoDB database solutions, the AWS AI stylist for color analysis, and the Huawei Robodog captured imaginations and showcased the real-world potential of emerging technologies.

DevCon 2025 featured solution showcases, fireside chats, and tech demos that highlight innovations developed within Globe. This year’s DevCon is also made possible through the support of AWS, Couchbase, Huawei, MongoDB, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amdocs, Oracle, Searce, Cisco, and F5. Their collaboration underscores the shared commitment to empowering developers and advancing the country’s digital innovation ecosystem.

In line with Globe’s #GoForIt campaign to pursue your dreams and passions, DevCon 2025 continues to foster connection and collaboration between students and professionals, empowering learners to turn ambition into action. As technology becomes central to every student’s journey, Globe remains committed to providing opportunities for growth, creativity, and impact—inspiring the next generation to #GoForwardTogether.

PNC Archon Esports Shatters 'Playoffs Curse,' Captures realme Regional Wars Championship

PNC Archon Esports dominates regional campus teams to clinch the realme Regional Wars Crown

Following a rigorous series of elimination matches, the realme Regional Wars: Campus Edition concluded with a dramatic Grand Finals, crowning PNC Archon Esports as the undisputed champions. Luzon-based Squad showcased resiliency, strategy, and exceptional teamwork, defeating Mindanao’s Lite EOS in a 3-0 sweep of the best-of-five series.

PNC Archon Esports’ victory not only secured them the prestigious title but also earned them a coveted slot in the Philippine Collegiate Championship (PCC) group stages, giving them a chance to qualify for the PCC National League Grand Finals at the Campus Playfest 2025 on December 7–8.

Game Breakdown: Penalty, Aggression, and Clutch Defense

The series began with PNC Archon immediately gaining an edge in Game 1, which was awarded to them after Lite EOS received a penalty from the tournament administrators for a rulebook violation. This early advantage fueled their momentum into Game 2, where PNC immediately adopted an aggressive stance. They dominated key objectives, including the turtle, and secured early kills to build a strong Gold lead, ultimately leading to a quick win.

The final match proved to be the most intense. Lite EOS, fighting to stay alive, nearly breached PNC’s base after a devastating Maniac by Kylezuu. However, a heroic base defense anchored by Karll (Harith) kept the final base turret standing. Seizing the narrow opening, PNC Archon regrouped and executed a crucial Lord steal, thanks to the well-timed utility of Krema’s Gatotkaca ultimate. This massive momentum swing allowed PNC to launch a final, clean siege and secure the series.

The realme Regional Wars: Campus Edition tournament series was made possible with the support of Converge, whose high-speed, reliable network ensured smooth, uninterrupted matches.

Finals MVP and Prize Recognition

For their pivotal roles, Karll was named Match 3 MVP with an 8-2-8 KDA and 89% kill participation, while the overall Finals MVP title was awarded to Krema. PNC Archon will take home P100,000 in cash plus a realme 15 Pro 5G, while Krema receives P50,000 in realme products as Finals MVP.

Lite EOS and Vanguard Esports T1 received P30,000 and P20,000, respectively, for their runner-up finishes.

Ending the 'Curse': A New Beginning

The victory was particularly memorable for the team, as Krema revealed in a post-match interview: "We have been together for a long time, but we always felt cursed in the playoffs – it was either a reverse-sweep in the first round or a total zero finish. This is our first time ever reaching the finals, and even securing the championship title." For PNC Archon Esports, this victory marks a significant breakthrough. "We didn't expect to win, but this is just the beginning for us," Krema stated. "We will continue to join every tournament available."

PNC will face the qualified teams in the PCC National League Group Stages for a chance to advance to the PCC National League Grand Finals at Campus Playfest 2025 on December 7-8 at the MOA Arena Music Hall. The realme 15 Pro 5G will serve as the official gaming phone for the event. Fans are invited to watch the action live and cheer for their favorite team.

For fans upgrading to the realme 15 Pro 5G, every purchase comes with FREE TechLife Wireless Earbuds X worth PHP 1,699. Buyers will also have an exclusive chance to win premium prizes, including a realme GT 7T (12GB+256GB), a realme Pad X Wi-Fi, and a travel-for-two escape to Thailand or Vietnam.

Buo ang Saya ng Pasko: Jollibee Reminds Us What Makes Christmas Truly Complete

Tweet

This Christmas, Jollibee takes a more heartfelt turn—focusing on what makes the season meaningful: FAMILY.

In a time when life feels busier, distances grow longer, challenges arise, and many Filipinos find themselves away from home, Jollibee’s newest holiday campaign, “Buo ang Saya ng Pasko,” uplifts our spirits and reminds us that true joy is found in togetherness with family—however it’s formed: by blood, by bond, or by choice.

Through a series of touching vignettes in its new Christmas film, Jollibee captures how both typical families and different versions of Filipino families now come together -- There’s the nurse celebrating a night shift with hospital staff, a security guard sharing laughs with fellow workers, a couple treating their beloved pets like family, a single mother and her daughters finding joy in a simple Jollibee meal and a large family celebrating Christmas reunions across generations.

"What makes Filipino Christmases so special is the love we share and the joy we bring to one another. Family has always been at the heart of every Filipino Christmas, but we also know that times have changed. By embracing the many ways we now define family, we hope to rekindle in everyone the true meaning of joy this season — that Christmas is complete not when everything is perfect or traditional, but because no matter where we are or who we celebrate with, as long as we’re together and there’s Jollibee on the table, Buo ang Saya ng Pasko," says Dorothy Dee-Ching - VP and Head of Marketing, Jollibee Philippines.

Each story mirrors real-life moments of warmth and connection that make Christmas feel whole again. Accompanied with an original soundtrack, Jollibee’s new heartwarming film reminds us that even as the faces around the table change, as long as the family is together—Buo ang saya ng Pasko.

So, this Christmas, Jollibee invites you all to share the joy of togetherness with your family. As the film beautifully states, “Tunay ang ligaya basta’t tayo’y magkasama. Dito, sarap ang pinagsasaluhan. Buo ang saya ng Pasko.”
