In the midst of changing times, Filipino entrepreneurs have showcased their grit and determination to succeed by continuously looking for new ways to grow their businesses. As they navigate this rapidly changing environment, Globe Business reaffirms its commitment to micro, small, and medium enterprises, or MSMEs, as a trusted partner.
Globe Business reaffirms commitment to MSMEs’ “Tuloy-tuloy na Success” with digital transformation
For MSMEs to have “Tuloy-tuloy na Success”, Globe Business aims to work together with them to achieve new business breakthroughs with products and services, innovative digital solutions, and reliable customer support.
MSMEs as drivers of the economy
According to the latest data from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), 99% of businesses in the Philippines are MSMEs. They help reduce unemployment by creating jobs for the growing labor force, making up 63% of the country’s total manpower. They stimulate economic development and serve as valuable partners to major enterprises and consumers.
“We see our MSMEs as modern-day heroes who play a critical role in the country’s economy. That’s why we believe that if we help them succeed, we also help our nation succeed,” said Ernest Cu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Globe.
Globe Business’ commitment to MSMEs
MSMEs face different challenges every day–from getting and retaining customers, streamlining operations, tracking inventory and deliveries, and even making sure their employees are happy; however, they remain unfazed, being agile and quick to adapt to the demands of the times. As they seek continuous growth, Globe Business strives to journey with them through this period of heightened digital adoption so they can overcome their perceived boundaries and achieve more success.
“Globe Business seeks to go beyond the surface by helping MSMEs with innovations that accelerate business growth, expertise that guides businesses forward, and unparalleled care that supports their journeys, so they can achieve more business breakthroughs para sa tuloy-tuloy na success,” said KD Dizon, MSME Group Head, Globe Business.

All these efforts aim to equip entrepreneurs with important knowledge, skills, and the network that will aid them to achieve their goals and future-proof their businesses.
