Globe introduces Advanced Booking for roaming
Book up to one year in advance
Hopping on a plane soon? Globe is making it even more hassle-free for travelers to subscribe to its roaming services after introducing the Advanced Booking feature for roaming on the GlobeOne app.
With this innovation, travelers can now book their preferred data roaming promos up to a year in advance. This makes connectivity one less travel essential to worry about, especially if it somehow slips your mind at the last moment.
Both prepaid and postpaid Globe subscribers can register or book their desired roaming promo via the GlobeOne app. Alternatively, prepaid Globe and TM subscribers can check GCash for roaming promos.
Upon arrival abroad, just switch on your mobile data and data roaming, and the data pack will automatically activate.
Moreover, one may easily cancel their booked promo if their trip plans have changed. If the Advanced Booking roaming promo is not yet activated, Globe postpaid customers will not be charged. Prepaid customers, on the other hand, will receive a refund.
Speaking of Globe roaming, the company’s GoRoam promo has recently added Japan, Canada, Australia, and Vietnam to its coverage.
And for families or groups, Roam Surf4All allows for shareable data roaming without needing an additional device. A subscriber can simply add or remove members, set data limits, and monitor usage via the GlobeOne app.
Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.
As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.
Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.
However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.
Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.
The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.

TNT has been recognized for having the Best Mobile Latency, according to network intelligence and connectivity insights company Ookla, which is known for its internet speed tests.
Based on Ookla analysis for Q1 to Q2 2025, TNT’s network, powered by Smart, led with a median latency of 45.89 milliseconds (ms) for all network technologies.
(NOTE: Mobile latency measures how quickly data travels over a network; the lower the latency, the faster the response)
This enables users to tap, click, and swipe on their favorite apps in real-time. For streaming and mobile gaming, it also means a smoother experience.
Be it MOBA titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or FPS games like Call of Duty Mobile, which both need real-time responsiveness, TNT allows gamers to make their best moves without worrying about lag.
Binge-watchers, meanwhile, can enjoy their favorite series, vlogs, and micro-dramas without buffering. On the other hand, students and professionals can attend online meetings or quick calls using just mobile data.
Furthermore, online live sellers and shoppers can also enjoy real-time transactions, ensuring their favorite items make it to the cart without delay.
Such low latency is also crucial for those who love scoring flash deals or vouchers where those who are among the first to click win discounts.
Users who want to level up their experience can switch to TNT by getting a TNT SIM or eSIM at accredited retailers and convenience stores. They may also do so via the Smart Online Store.
Subscribers from other networks can also easily switch to TNT without changing their number through Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
