Senior leaders of top Philippine telco Globe Telecom, Inc. actively shaped the global discourse on digital transformation at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona.  Participating at various high-level discussions, the Globe executives were able to drive innovations through solutions that address challenges relevant to emerging markets like the Philippines.

Held in Barcelona last week, MWC is the world's premier ICT event, uniting the industry behind the advancement of business and society. Globe CEO Ernest Cu was joined by Deputy CEO Carl Cruz and other senior leaders on a hectic week of engagements with global telco leaders to tackle the most pressing concerns facing the industry today.

Cu represented Globe in signing a Memorandum of Understanding with other Philippine telco operators on the deployment of federated CAMARA APIs under GSMA's Open Gateway initiative.

Through CAMARA APIs, Globe will be able to improve security measures against fraud. These standardized APIs will also make it easier for businesses to create and expand digital solutions across telco networks. The partnership will also help fintech, e-commerce, and other digital services grow by turning telecom networks into platforms that developers can easily use, ensuring wider reach and smoother integration.

"Globe remains dedicated to advancing digital innovation while prioritizing customer security. This partnership marks a major step in enhancing fraud prevention and identity verification in the Philippines. By leveraging GSMA Open Gateway and federating CAMARA APIs, we can create a safer and more seamless digital experience, empowering both businesses and consumers in today's fast-evolving digital landscape," Cu said.

Cu also participated in his first GSMA Board Meeting and spoke about Globe's best practices in combatting digital scams and fraud.

Cruz, meanwhile, shared insightful perspectives on the impact of 5G-AxAI on the future of connectivity at the GTI Summit 2025 as a session speaker.

The Summit revolves around the 5G-AxAI 100 Commercial Campaign that aims to engage 100+ partners, open 100+ APIs, and develop 100+ lighthouse projects, over the next three years.

"Globe is focused on strengthening connectivity, driving inclusive growth through initiatives like JuanSim ng Bayan, expanding 5G access, and making fiber internet more affordable. By working closely with industry partners and the government, we are building a future where every Filipino can fully participate in the digital economy and benefit from AI-driven innovation," he said.
