Volunteerism knows no boundaries, geographical or otherwise; global citizens are better together and should care for the planet as one.  With this in mind, employee volunteers from Singtel of Singapore visited the Philippines once again to take part in the Singtel Group’s 8th overseas volunteering program hosted by Globe Telecom. Globe and Singtel volunteers learned how to make useable stone sculptures from lahar rocks, as well as plates and baskets by weaving Nito vines.
