Meanwhile, capital expenditures fell 18 percent year-on-year to P46.2 billion, enabling positive free cash flow. This disciplined approach to spending allowed Globe to navigate economic headwinds while investing in critical infrastructure.

Globe also strengthened its network leadership in 2025, earning recognition from Ookla for having the most consistent mobile and fixed networks in the country. This accolade underscores the company's commitment to providing reliable and high-quality connectivity, which has been a key driver of customer satisfaction and revenue growth.
