Dream It, Do It: BINI and Students #GoForIt with Globe

Globe is creating spaces where ambition meets opportunity, offering internships, mentorship, grants, volunteering, and youth-led events that spark inspiration. Globe recently launched their #GoForIt campaign with BINI, pairing eight student dreamers with the eight members of BINI, not just as stars on a pedestal, but as peers who know the same late nights, doubts, and pressures.

Together, they showed that dreams come in all shapes and sizes, whether it’s becoming a photographer, digital illustrator, model, journalist, scientist, game designer, or performer. From rocking the stage to creating the next big breakthrough, every path is worth pursuing.

 

“Globe not only connects people through a network, but through communities as well,” says Clareene, a Polytechnic University of the Philippines  student dreaming of becoming a digital artist.

 

One Beat, Many Dreams

BINI knows what it’s like to chase a dream that feels out of reach. From long training days to topping the charts, they have faced the same doubts and roadblocks as many students today.

 

“Kahit din may mga doubts kami nung una, since Globe believed in us, that allowed us to believe in ourselves,” shares BINI Aiah.

 

“‘Di kailangan magmadali para magwagi, buhay ay ‘di karera,” adds BINI Maloi, reminding everyone that life and dreams are not a race against anyone else, but a personal journey you take at your own pace.

 

These moments with BINI show that they’re not just stars, but young women who once dreamed like today’s students. Whether in music, medicine, entrepreneurship, or digital art, one truth stands: no matter the dream, hold on to it, and go for it.

 

Globe’s Game Plan for Student Success

“It’s a lasting commitment, this is Globe’s promise to give young people the tools, skills, and support to turn ambition into achievement.  We empower today’s youth through the Globe Student Program, which connects classroom learning with real-world experiences. Students can explore opportunities to join special Globe events, volunteer initiatives, and exclusive student raffles designed to inspire and engage,” says Roche Vandenberghe, Globe’s Chief Marketing Officer.

 

Beyond experiences, the program also unlocks Student Rewards on the GlobeOne app, where exciting perks await. From partners like Ayala Museum, Museo Pambata, beep™ card, Timezone, Jollibee, and more, students can enjoy discounts, treats, and learning experiences tailored just for them.

 

Simply search “Student Specials” on the Globe Rewards page in the GlobeOne app to discover offers tailored to students. Whether through reliable connectivity, learning platforms, digital tools, or mentorship, the challenge isn’t being alone, but being ready to Go For It!

 

The Rhythm of Ambition

Like BINI’s music, Globe’s message speaks to Filipino student youth from all walks of life. There is no single path to success, it starts with courage, grows with persistence, and flourishes when the right support is within reach. That is why #GoForIt is not just a message but a movement for every student, dreamer, and future leader to take their shot.

 

Different Dreams. Same Drive. #GoForIt with Globe.

ASHE SHARES NEW TRACK AND MUSIC VIDEO “ME WITHOUT YOU”

Ashe has shared “Me Without You,” the latest new track to be revealed from her forthcoming anticipated debut album Ashlyn, out May 7th on Mom + Pop Music. Stream/download it HERE and watch the striking new music video HERE.  “Me Without You” was co-written by: Ashe, Leroy “Big Taste” Clampitt (Justin Bieber, Lennon Stella) and Casey Smith, who also collaborated with Ashe on her monster hit “Moral of the Story” which has amassed 758 million streams to date.   

“Me Without You” is a Beatles-esque piece of baroque pop that unfolds as an anthem of self-discovery, backing Ashe’s rhapsodic vocal work with lavish string orchestration.   Flashes of classic Beach Boys influences can be heard in Ashe’s angelic layered vocals. The song is an empowering anthem displaying Ashe’s growth and evolution both artistically and personally.

 

Ashe explains, “’Me Without You’ is my follow up to ‘Moral Of The Story.’ It's saying you thought that I needed you to be who I am. There is my past relationship...I had multiple people... You know, assumed that I needed them in my life to feel confident or to be me and "Me Without You" is just this record that's like, ‘Ooh, I am so good on my own.’”

 

The colorful music video was directed by Jason Lester (LAUV & Conan Gray, Sabrina Carpenter) with creative direction by Ashe. The clip sees Ashe in a speakeasy-style bar, dancing barefoot on broken glass and leaving behind traces of blood seemingly unfazed.  Throughout the clip she’s flounced by a quartet of string players miming as Ashe drifts in and out of various scenes.  Thematically the video conveys the underlying message that no matter where you go, you carry your past and memories with you.

 

Additional notable tracks revealed from Ashe’s forthcoming new album include "When I'm Older,"  "I'm Fine," and “Till Forever Falls Apart,” Ashe’s acclaimed collaboration with FINNEAS which has amassed 40 million streams since its March release. Ashlyn also features both versions of “Moral of the Story” including the most recent reimagined collaboration with Niall Horan. Pre-order the album HERE and watch the album trailer HERE. 

 

2021 is proving to be an exciting year for Ashe.   She was just named a YouTube Music Artist on the Rise, YouTube’s emerging artist program that champions breaking talent and rising stars. Ashe is also nominated for iHeart Music Awards Best New Rock/Alternative Rock Artist 2021 (the awards are on May 27^th).  Her meteoric rise includes amassing a million Instagram followers, over 9.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and one million TikTok followers and earning the admiration of legendary artists like Brian Wilson (one of Ashe’s personal heroes).  A graduate from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Ashe’s touring resume includes performances at Coachella with Big Gigantic, and opening slots for Lewis Capaldi, The Chainsmokers, LAUV and more.

Sarah G to Independent Ladies: Learn How to Cook for Yourself

What is an independent Filipina? Is she someone who likes to do things on her own, learn new experiences as she moves through life, or someone who knows how to take care of herself? For many women, being independent means more than living on their own. It also means experiencing life in her own terms and being able to follow one’s passion without restriction.

Take it from Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo who is starting to claim and enjoy her own independence—free to chase her passion and discover new ones. “Para po sa’kin, being an independent person means kaya mong gawin ‘yung mga bagay na gusto mong gawin. As an independent woman, gustung-gusto ko pong mag-explore ng mga bagay na di ko pa nagagawa, and also learn more about myself in the process.”

One passion she decided to pursue is cooking. “Ang sarap po kasi ng pakiramdam na kaya mong ipagluto yung sarili mo. Whenever I cook, I get that sense of freedom in my own kitchen. I’m free to experiment, try new dishes, or recreate my Mom’s recipes,” she adds. “Kaya to all independent women out there, I advise that you learn how to cook. It’s very empowering to rely on yourself, and a good start will be in the kitchen.”

As testament to her new-found independence in pursuing her passion, Sarah even shared some easy-to-cook recipes. Her favorites are found in the cookbook that comes with every purchase of the all-new Phoenix Super LPG at select super hubs.

Whether you’re living alone or just simply someone who loves to do things on their own, these Sarah G-approved dishes will make you rediscover the joys of cooking (and eating!).
