“We are partnering with local business people like Eileen here,” Velasco said. “Through them we will be able to tap into the networks, the connections and relationships of the provinces.”
Under its Premium Dealer Program, Globe Telecoms teams up with third-party investors who are accredited to operate a full-service Globe concept store. Globe offers its PDs very competitive benefits and comprehensive support, such as site sourcing and evaluation; training and development planning; business and marketing plans; and operations support and assistance.

The Gaisano City Mall PD is the second Globe PD store in Cagayan de Oro and the 18th in Mindanao. It’s Globe’s first ever Premium Dealership in the Visayas and Mindanao was also established in partnership with CGEN2 in September 2011 at another location, but has since moved to the ground floor of VIP Hotel.
“Cagayan de Oro is a market where Globe is the leader and by having Premium Dealers together with company owned stores, we will be able to reach more people in the provinces,” Velasco noted.
Besides its PDs in VIP Hotel and Gaisano City Mall, Globe Telecom also operates company owned stores in the city’s other major malls like SM City and Ayala Centrio. Last December, it also opened only its second GEN3 store in the entire Philippines at Limketkai Mall.

“We are taking a giant leap with the new retail concept of our 2 flagship stores. Our Generation 3 stores will bring to life our customers’ digital lifestyle and epitomize the aspirations of our customers,” said Globe Retail Transformation and Management Head Joe Caliro. “Our stores will be a wonderful place where customers can explore and discover exciting finds in the digital space.”
