Globe wins at the Kidlat Awards for #PlayItRight Piracy Against Piracy campaign

For the third straight year, Globe wins at the Kidlat Awards this time for its unique execution of #PlayItRight’s “Piracy Vs. Piracy,” the company’s homegrown advocacy to encourage Filipinos to download or stream content from legitimate sources.

“Piracy Vs. Piracy” was recognized for three awards - Creative Use Of Media, Branded Corporate Social Responsibility and Digital Activation and Campaigns - at the Ad Summit Pilipinas 2018 held last Saturday, March 10, in Subic.



Tackling the issue of piracy head on, the campaign delivered its message by using the channels where piracy happens: torrent and streaming websites. During the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival, Globe uploaded copies of the participating films and other blockbuster Filipino movies online.


After showing the opening credits and scenes, the films featured the crew recounting the hours of work they put in creating the films and appealing to viewers to #PlayItRight and watch from legitimate sources.

Our customers deserve not just safe but also quality content. At the same time, we also want to make sure that our products and services are not used for illegal activities. These pursuits, along with our high regard for original content, inspired us to create this innovative campaign,” Yoly Crisanto, Globe Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications, points out.

“We also want to protect the copyright of our content partners and educate our customers on how to consume content properly. We have made it easier for them by giving them the platforms to watch the best movies, TV shows, music, and videos,” adds Nikko Acosta, Globe Senior Vice President for Content Business.

“Our execution hopes to highlight the impact of piracy to the people in the industry and their families. We want to remind everyone who participates in this illegal activity that their downloads affect hundreds of cast and crew members,” says Globe Studios Director Quark Henares.


Filmmakers themselves have chimed in their support for the anti-piracy campaign.

“We should protect the film industry from pirates. Without piracy, we keep our jobs, and convince creators to produce good content the audience would love to see,” JP Habac, Director of I’m Drunk I Love You, says.

“This commitment by Globe to fight film piracy gives due credit to the money, sweat and tears that filmmakers have put into their projects. Every day, we get messages from our site to request for a free download of Respeto. (Talk about respect!) The campaign is also such a clever way to shame the shameless pirates from downloading films,” Monster Jimenez, Producer of Respeto, adds.

The other films that lent their support to Piracy vs. Piracy were: All of You, Ang Larawan, Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B, Baka Bukas, Birdshot, Heneral Luna, Ilawod and Siargao.

Last month, the campaign was also recognized in the Direct Marketing category of BestAdsOnTV.com, an international website showcasing the best ads around the world.

The Kidlat Awards is an annual creative competition led by the 4A’s Philippines’ Creative Guild. It celebrates and recognizes the country’s best advertising work of the past year.

This year’s judges include some of the industry’s best from the top advertising agencies in the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Previously, Globe and its partner agency Publicis JimenezBasic, were conferred Kidlat Awards for its campaigns for Globe Prepaid in 2016 and Globe Corporate Thematic in 2017.

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...
