The Sarangani Bay Festival or SarBay Fest is the biggest beach festival in Mindanao. It has always been a vibrant celebration of music, culture and coastal beauty. But this year, Globe made sure the spotlight also shone on something deeper: protecting the very shores that bring thousands of people together. Over 100 volunteers gathered at Reyes Beach in Barangay Gumasa for the annual SarBay Coastal Cleanup. Among them were Globe employees, Globe Trade Distribution partners, representatives from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, students from Mindanao State University–General Santos, Bantay Dagat members, and staff from the provincial government of Sarangani. Together, they collected more than 100 bags of waste — from plastic bottles and straws to cigarette butts, old clothes, tin cans and rubber debris.
