CANVAS donates children’s e-books to Globe eLibrary

Tweet

Children’s stories on culture and the arts were given by the Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development (CANVAS) to Globe eLibrary to address the learning needs of students affected by the pandemic.

The joint goal of Globe and CANVAS is to promote children's literacy, explore national identity, and help deepen the public’s appreciation for Philippine art, culture and the environment. As partners, they aim to populate Globe eLibrary with local e-books for children that may be used for teaching and learning.

CANVAS already provided 13 electronic book (eBook) titles to the Globe eLibrary such as Nadia and the Blue Stars by Francesca Nicole Chan Torres and artwork by Liv Vinluan, which talks about Nadia’s love for flowers and her struggle to care for them in the middle of a war, and Karapat-Dapat: Bata, Alamin ang Inyong mga Karapatan by Ang Ink, which delves into children’s rights.

The rest of the eBook titles are Inang Kalikasan by Recle Vibal, Aklatang Pusa by Eugene Evasco, Ang Batang Maraming Bawal by Fernando Rosal Gonzales, Tahan na Tahanan by Maria Isabel Alarilla-Arellano, Message in the Sand by Charmaine Aserappa, A Fish Tale, and The Rocking Horse by Becky Bravo, Si Pontang at ang Lihim ng Kuweba by Melvin B. Atole, Mga Munting Patak ng Ulan by Jessica Olmedo, Si Lupito at ang Barrio Sirkero by Rowald Almazar, and Ang Anghel ng Sta. Ana by Josephine de Dios.

“It would be most beneficial to students and teachers to gain access to as much relevant content as possible. This is why we continuously look for content partners for Globe eLibrary to give them a wide array of free resource materials online,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

“From one seed, an entire forest. From one story, a generation of readers. We cling to the hope and possibility that somewhere down the line, one of the books that we publish, one of the artworks that we show, or one of the ideas that we share, will trigger the imagination of one child who will then be moved to change the world for the better,” said Gigo Alampay, founder and executive director of CANVAS on the group’s website, www.canvas.ph.

CANVAS publishes children’s books through the Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition and donates books to underprivileged communities through the One Million Books for One Million Filipino Children Campaign. It also holds art exhibitions, arranges group shows through the Looking for Juan Program, and mounts other creative events and activities.

Meanwhile, Globe eLibrary is a website and mobile application that provides students and teachers with free access to hundreds of international and local e-books titles and e-Learner videos on various subjects to view online or download offline. It is one of the components of the Global Filipino Schools, a long-term educational initiative of Globe, which aims to transform public schools into centers of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) excellence and innovative teaching methods to set the stage for modern learning. Access to materials in Globe eLibrary is free to all Globe and TM customers.

This initiative by Globe underscores its support for the United Nations Sustainable Goal no. 4 on “Quality Education.” Globe is one with the UN in working for inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all.

Globe At Home continues to improve customer experience with #ExtraCareAtHome, focusing on proactive care at the core of its services - from inquiry to installation, and more importantly, after sales. Realizing the people’s need for a reliable internet network to keep connected and entertained, run their business, and make working and learning from home possible, the company makes sure to be with its customers every step of the way.

 

“We not only provide a fast and reliable connection to our Globe At Home subscribers, we also give them the best care. We make sure that the technology we use adheres to global standards.  That's why we are able to provide our customers with #ExtraCareAtHome,” said Darius Delgado, Globe Vice President and Head of Broadband Business. 

 

Part of this proactive care is ensuring that consumers get the connectivity they need at the soonest possible time. Thus, in less than 24 hours from the approval of internet line applications, GAH’s team of installers are already dispatched to the address provided. These field technicians also undergo regular COVID-19 testing as well as strictly follow government health protocols to keep customers safe from the virus.

 

At the same time, GAH sees to it that the consumers are secured from scams and other fraudulent activities being committed by unscrupulous persons. Technicians on duty bear a QR code that customers can scan to confirm their identity. This is on top of regular text messages sent to the subscriber for scheduled visits and location tracking.

 

“Being able to serve our loyal customers with the best customer care they deserve is our everyday goal in Globe At Home. We want what’s best for our customers from installation to after-sales. We go the extra mile just to provide the necessary care they deserve,” Delgado added.

 

Aside from prompt and secured installation, GAH makes it easier for its postpaid customers to manage their account - track data usage, change or renew their plan, view and pay bills, request for reconnection, report an issue with their internet connection, and inquire about promos with the use of GlobeOne and Globe At Home apps which can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

 

These apps, which can be downloaded via the App Store for iOS and Play Store for Android, were developed to empower Globe customers and allow them to manage their accounts. They contain answers to most frequently asked questions, thus minimizing the need to visit a Globe Store or to talk to an agent.

 

However, if agent support is still needed, they can be reached easily through the Globe official Facebook Page, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter account. The *143# mobile phone service menu may also be used for balance inquiry, data usage checking, promo subscription, and other requests.

Disposing e-waste? Globe helps you let go of these safely

Tweet

Do you have old mobile phones, excess cables, chargers, broken television sets, DVD players, and other non-working electronic devices that you would like to dispose of without adding up to the piles of garbage in the landfills? Globe helps you let go of these safely!

As Globe continues to provide reliable voice and data connection, it also makes sure to do its part in creating a safe environment for people to live in. It aims to lessen the harm brought by improper disposal of materials, particularly of electronic waste (e-waste).

More than 100 bins under the Globe E-waste Zero program are now placed in different collection points nationwide such as Globe Stores and malls, which the public can easily access. These bins can accommodate mobile phones, IT accessories such as mouse, earphones, and speakers; Internet and WiFi modems and routers; cable wires, batteries, circuit boards, CDs /DVDs and other small electronic devices. Bigger items such as computer sets, IT servers and electronic network equipment (antennas, transmitters, etc.), and home appliances (washing machine, oven, refrigerator, etc.) may be requested for pick up.

“Globe recognizes the importance of taking this extra step in ensuring e-wastes are disposed of properly and can't be harmful to the environment. We would like to enjoin our customers to help dispose of e-waste properly,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

E-waste is made up of different materials that are toxic and hazardous, making the process of recycling risky for those who are not trained properly and who do not have the necessary facilities to do it. According to the UN Environment Programme, it is estimated that more than 50 million metric tons of e-waste is produced globally per year and its continued importation and increased local generation is a cause for concern. Roughly 80% of these e-waste ends up in landfills, pollute the environment and make informal communities susceptible to the hazards of e-waste.

According to a recent study made by UNIDO and EcoWaste Coalition, only 28 out of the 135 registered Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facilities in the Philippines process e-waste. While the informal sector benefits from these discarded items, their methods of dismantling and recycling e-wastes are unconventional and against approved government standards.

In response to this, Globe’s e-waste program not only promotes proper disposal but also educates people about the potential harm of e-waste to the environment and the overall benefits of e-waste recycling. Proper e-waste recycling conserves natural resources. Instead of extracting raw materials, valuable materials from old electronics can be turned into new glass, plastic chairs, filament for 3D printing, and reuse the extracted alloys. E-waste recycling avoids unnecessary dumps in landfills. It provides proper handling and management of toxic chemical substances and helps avoid possible leakage especially towards water streams. It also prevents possible health hazards to informal communities living near dumpsites and whose main source of income is the manual processing of these disposed devices.

In 2020 alone, the program managed to collect and responsibly dispose of over 250,000 kg of e-waste, bringing the total collection to more than 1.4 million kg since 2014. These e-wastes are delivered to Globe’s partner Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facilities, namely Total Environment Solutions - Asset Material Management Philippines (TES-AMM) in Pasig City, and Maritrans Recycler, Inc. in Cebu. E-wastes are segregated to recover plastic materials, electronic components, and precious metals but the final recycling process is done in TES-AMM’s facility in Singapore.

“We are thankful to have partners and contributors, composed of more than 66 corporations, private organizations, NGOs, local government partners and schools nationwide that share Globe’s commitment of building a better and safer world for future generations. We encourage more individuals and organizations to join us in this advocacy. Let us all work together in keeping our planet safe from the harm posed by improper e-waste disposal,” Crisanto added.

Visit any of the participating Globe stores nationwide or request for free door-to-door pickup of bulky e-waste items. For the list of drop off areas and and bulk hauling requests, check out E-waste Zero on Globe’s sustainability website https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability/environment.html

Globe remains committed to the 10 UN Global Compact principles and contributes to 10 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals such as UN SDG No. 12 - Sustainable Consumption and Production, which is about achieving economic growth and sustainable development by urgently reducing ecological footprint. It is also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources.
