Globe, TIP partner for students' online safety

Globe Telecommunications and the Technological Institute of the Philippines have joined forces to push students to become advocates of responsible digital citizenship.

In a press statement, Yoly Crisanto, Globe Group Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, said young people are at the forefront of the digital world so they are also among the most at risk.

“Through our partnership with T.I.P., we’re giving students the tools and confidence to protect themselves and others online. The Digital Thumbprint Ambassador Program empowers them to turn awareness into action and help build a safer, more compassionate digital community,” she said.

Globe and T.I.P. launched the Digital Thumbprint Ambassador Program, a new phase of Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP).

Under the program, selected T.I.P. students will be trained by Globe as Digital Thumbprint Ambassadors and trainers to promote digital literacy, mentor peers, and represent the school in cyber wellness events. 

They will also gain access to internships, mentorship opportunities, learning tools, and support to bring their community projects to life.

“We at T.I.P. believe in empowering our students not just to excel academically, but to contribute meaningfully to society. Through this partnership with Globe, our students are given the platform to apply their digital knowledge for social good, equipping them to protect themselves and others from online harms while becoming responsible digital citizens,” said Dr. Frank D. Alejandrino, Vice President for Student Affairs and Services at the Technological Institute of the Philippines.

The new ambassador program builds on Globe’s sustained efforts to protect Filipinos online through both technology and education. 

On the education front, Globe’s DTP has reached nearly 2 million students and trained 115,000. In 2025 alone, over 21,000 students and educators have participated in DTP learning sessions nationwide.

“To our T.I.P. ambassadors, every click, comment, and share leaves a mark. Let those marks reflect integrity, empathy, and respect. T.I.P.’s vision is anchored on technology and inclusion and we believe that the responsible use of today’s technologies start with you,” said Crisanto.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
