The Mobile Command Center serves as a mobile operations hub equipped with communication tools and monitoring systems, ensuring real-time coordination and swift relief response even when local networks are disrupted.

Meanwhile, the Disaster Response Management Division (DRMD) has been placed on full alert status, with prepositioned food and non-food items ready for dispatch to affected areas.

The DSWD XI urges residents in quake-hit communities to remain vigilant and coordinate with their respective social welfare offices and barangay disaster councils for updates and assistance.

Globe CEO: AI Demands More Than Tools, It Requires a New Kind of Leader

Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz believes artificial intelligence is more than just a powerful tool, it demands a shift in how leaders think and organizations operate.

At the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Day Philippines 2025, Cruz joined fellow executives in a high-level panel on navigating the GenAI revolution, where he emphasized that AI isn’t simply about automating tasks or cutting costs. “Generative AI has moved us past automation and into a new age of augmented intelligence,” he said. “It’s no longer about doing things faster; it’s about unlocking creativity and creating relevance at scale.”

Cruz shared how Globe is embedding AI across its operations to drive efficiency, elevate customer experience, and enable innovation at every level. The company’s Net Promoter Score of 49, which is well above the industry benchmark, reflects its success in delivering hyper-personalized services through intelligent systems. “We’re using AI to anticipate needs and connect with people more meaningfully,” he said.
He pointed to Globe’s internal AI Enablement Program, which empowers employees to build their own AI tools without a coding background. One team, for instance, created a bot that expanded conversation audits from 5% to 100%, cutting costs dramatically and improving quality assurance. This is proof, Cruz said, that innovation doesn’t always have to come from the top.

Cruz also stressed the importance of responsible development. Globe continues to promote the ethical use of AI through its AI Advocacy Guild, a community of practice focused on advancing responsible innovation across the organization, building on its data privacy and cybersecurity strengths. Strategic alliances with GSMA, OpenAI, and Singtel’s Global Telco AI Alliance reinforce this commitment to global best practices.

Globe’s approach, which Cruz calls the “AI Kitchen,” prioritizes core capabilities and scalable foundations before rolling out individual AI use cases. “We assess each one like a business case,” he said. “We don’t build for the sake of it, we build for impact.”

He acknowledged the challenges that come with AI adoption, from legacy systems to regulatory constraints, but said Globe is addressing these through dedicated readiness programs focused on integration and data maturity.

As the panel concluded, Cruz urged fellow leaders to embrace curiosity, empower teams, and trade certainty for adaptability. “GenAI isn’t just a technology shift, it’s a mindset shift,” he said. “We’re building a future where every Filipino is a digital Filipino who is equipped to thrive in an AI-powered world.”

DepEd and CBS Champion Financial Wellness for Educators Nationwide

Empowering Teachers Through Financial Literacy and Capability-Building

In celebration of National Teachers’ Month, the Department of Education (DepEd) and China Bank Savings (CBS) have once again joined forces to roll out a nationwide series of Financial Wellness Workshops, aimed at enhancing the financial literacy and capability of public school teachers.
Niel Jumawan, First Vice President and Head of CBS’s Automatic Payroll Deduction (APD) Lending Group, emphasized that the “Financial Wellness Roadshow for Teachers” is strategically designed to elevate educators’ understanding of personal finance fundamentals—particularly in savings, budgeting, debt management, and the practical application of financial tools such as Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Cash Flow Statements.
“Our overarching goal is to contribute meaningfully to nation-building by supporting teachers in achieving improved financial wellness, fostering a culture of savings consciousness, and strengthening creditworthiness within the education sector,” Jumawan stated.

He further noted that the roadshow, which spans key locations across Mindanao and the Visayas, is the latest iteration of CBS’s long-standing commitment to promoting responsible financial behavior at the grassroots level. “By capacitating teachers, we hope to create a ripple effect that extends to their learners, their families, and the broader community—ultimately scam-proofing vulnerable sectors of society,” he added.

Track Record of Impact

Prior to the 2025 rollout, CBS had successfully conducted 40 financial wellness seminars nationwide between 2023 and 2024, benefitting 2,081 participants composed of teachers, students, and CBS employees.
This year’s roadshow itinerary includes:
· September 5 – Glan, Sarangani

· September 7 – Participation in the DepEd Regional NTM Kick-Off in Koronadal City
· September 19 – Dumaguete City
· September 21 – DepEd Regional NTM Celebration, also in Dumaguete
· September 24 – Iloilo City
These events are expected to attract hundreds of attendees and reinforce CBS’s position
as a steadfast partner in educator empowerment.

Beyond Educators: A Broader Commitment to Financial Inclusion

While the Financial Wellness Roadshow places the spotlight on teachers, CBS remains equally committed to supporting the broader banking needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and retail banking clients. The bank currently operates a total of 277 touchpoints nationwide—comprising 170 full-service branches, 107 Lending Centers and Branch-Lite Units (BLUs)—supported by a robust 261-unit ATM network, making it the second-largest ATM network among thrift banks in the Philippines.
