Globe partners with Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino

Globe Telecom partners with the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) through Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) for its #PlayItRight advocacy in a bid to encourage the public to play content from legitimate sources as well as provide an opportunity for local movies and film-makers to grow their business and expand to more audiences.

By bannering PPP, one of the biggest Filipino film festivals that hero homegrown talent, Globe is also able to show its support to the Philippine movie industry.  PPP has the largest number of screenings for films nationwide with 790 theaters showcasing 12 top-rated locally-produced movies chosen by the FDCP.

“We intend to elevate the quality of entertainment in the country. There’s a boundless supply of talent in the Philippines which may bring great movies, awe-inspiring theater productions, and exciting content but it also entails educating consumers to patronize these movies, shows, and content only through legitimate means.  By supporting the #PlayItRight campaign, everyone will get the opportunity to experience quality and safe entertainment wherever they are and in whichever form they want --whether film, digital, or theater,” said Globe Chief Commercial Officer Albert De Larrazabal.


De Larrazabal added that #PlayItRight advocacy also allows Globe to protect not only its own original content but also the the licensed content of its global and local partners. Together with Globe, HOOQ supports PPP through its mobile app, giving more opportunities for local films to be accessible to local audiences anytime, anywhere. 

Film piracy has long been an issue with Filipino moviemakers who find their work screened through illegal means. With #PlayItRight, movies, music and other aspects of the performing arts are more accessible to the public, helping to combat online piracy.  At the launching of the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino earlier, many in the movie industry were thankful for the initiative that allows for more Filipinos to have access to quality local films in theaters.

PPP covers several genres, promising curated movie choices for Filipino film fans. Included in the lineup chosen for the festival are romantic films 100 Tula Para Kay Stella and Paglipay and narratives that touch the heart such as the gritty Hamog, the romance drama Pauwi Na, the film tackling Down Syndrome, Star na si Van Damme Stallone and the Triptico anthology. For those who want it light, their funnybone will be tickled by comedies Bar Boys and the satirical Patay na Si Hesus.  Moviegoers who prefer action can watch AWOL and Birdshot while horror fans may choose between Ang Mananggal sa Unit 23B and the thriller Salvage.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
