“We are the company of choice because, in what we provide, we are the best.” Globe Telecom has a long history of uniting people by forging strong links of communication throughout the country and with the world. Globe Telecom descended directly from Dollaradio, a ship-to-shore radio and telegraph company in the 1920s which was later renamed Globe Wireless Limited (GWL). Globe is also heir to Philippine Press Wireless, Inc. (PREWI), founded to advocate independence in the Commonwealth era, and Clavecilla Radio System (CRS). A merger between GWL, PREWI and Mackay Radio Telegraph established Globe-Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation (GMCR) in 1930. When GMCR sold 60% of its stocks to then Ayala and Co. in 1974, it had already been strengthened by this colorful history of partnerships. In the 1990s, GMCR and CRS merged to form GMCR, Inc., later renamed Globe Telecom, a leading telecommunications company offering domestic and international services. In 1993, Singapore Telecom International and Ayala Corporation pooled their resources to further expand Globe’s capability to service the increasing telecommunications needs of a growing and vibrant economy. With additional capital and expertise, Globe widened its reach through its various services and boosted the nation’s capacity to participate in the worldwide traffic of information exchange. Today, Globe Telecom intends to build on the legacy of its pioneering past, transforming the world into a global community just as Filipinos in centuries past were in constant and direct communications with every family in the community.
