At the most recent edition of its quarterly event, The Blueprint, Globe Telecom bared key initiatives as they emphasized reliable, affordable, and accessible connectivity as a national lifeline.

The program themed “Every Filipino Connected” highlighted initiatives to further strengthen digital inclusion across the country.

Among the event’s key announcements was the network provider’s partnership with Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell satellite technology. After a successful pilot trial, Globe plans to expand testing to more areas, aiming to extend coverage to such challenging locations.

As for the calendar year, Globe outlined some of their strategies, reflecting these three pillars: “Connectivity You Can Count On”, Connectivity for Every Filipino”, and “Experience Globe Connectivity”.

Globe is also introducing key initiatives focused on customers, businesses, and communities to enrich everyday experiences.

First, Globe Business introduced enterprise solutions, including a managed data streaming platform, with Confluent and the Globe Omnichannel Cloud Contact Center. These are designed to lower barriers to AI-powered engagement.

Meanwhile, Globe At Home advanced its “Built-in Broadband” initiative by integrating fiber ports into new property developments. Bundled offers under Globe Mobile and Globe At Home Advantage provide up to PhP 500 in savings as well.

Moreover, Globe’s budget sub-brand TM celebrated its 25th anniversary nationwide with promos and caravans.

Lastly, the company has expanded its premium portfolio with Platinum GPlan and PAL Mabuhay Miles promos. This makes the network provider the first in the market to reward customers with airline miles.

Meanwhile, the MagicPad4 can also enable photo and video transfer both to and from an iPhone. But more than that, the tablet can function as an extended display for the Mac to support tasks like editing.

HONOR will reveal its first humanoid robot at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026.

It hasn’t been a year since HONOR announced entering robotics development, and soon, the manufacturer will officially have its first humanoid robot.

The appearance of the robot can already be previewed in HONOR’s 39-second teaser clip below:

Notably, the narration says “Believe in the magic”. This could suggest HONOR is also naming the robot after its flagship series.

This is on top of the much anticipated HONOR Robot Phone, which has been previewed as early as October 2025 (and also seen on the clip).

 

This AI-powered robot phone features a built-in, 3-axis gimbal which supports the camera system and can “interact” with the user.

HONOR will also officially announce the HONOR Magic V6, its latest flagship foldable with enhanced durability, larger battery, and even slimmer design.

Plus, two more AI-powered devices will join the ecosystem: the HONOR MagicPad4 and HONOR MagicBook Pro 14. These boost productivity with superior performance in ultra-slim form factors.

All aforementioned products advance HONOR’s Alpha Plan vision of a synergized human-machine future.

They will officially be unveiled during HONOR’s Keynote Launch Event themed “Believers in AI Future” on March 1.

It will be held at the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona starting at 1:00 PM CET.
