How Globe brings seamless connectivity to Iloilo’s biggest celebration
As Iloilo gears up for Dinagyang 2026, Globe is set to power one of the country’s most celebrated festivals with seamless connectivity, bringing together culture, community, and technology to create a richer and more immersive Dinagyang experience.
Taking place from January 23 to 25, Dinagyang 2026 carries the theme “Bugay sang Ginoo, Bugal sang mga Ilonggo” (Blessings from God, Pride of the Ilonggos). Globe strengthens its network across key areas in Iloilo City to support the surge in mobile activity, ensuring festival-goers can stay connected, capture memories, and share the Dinagyang spirit in real time.
With enhanced 5G and mobile coverage, Globe enables smoother communication and content sharing throughout the festivities, allowing Ilonggos and visitors alike to enjoy the celebration without disruption. From navigating the city to uploading photos and videos instantly, connectivity becomes an integral part of the Dinagyang experience.
This year, Globe proudly joins Dinagyang 2026 through its partnership with the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc. (IFFI), the official organization that manages and oversees all festival activities in Iloilo. Through this collaboration, Globe is able to actively support IFFI in delivering a more vibrant, connected, and seamless Dinagyang experience for both locals and visitors alike.
Globe also celebrates the festival alongside valued partners including Leslie Snacks, Jollibee, and GCash, helping create more exciting, rewarding, and engaging experiences for the Iloilo community. These collaborations reflect a shared commitment to uplifting local traditions and making Dinagyang even more vibrant and accessible to everyone.
The activation features an exclusive, invite-only 5G Passport experience for media partners. Designed to showcase the power of Globe 5G, this media-focused experience offers dedicated high-speed connectivity, livestream and upload zones, and interview opportunities with Globe representatives, ensuring seamless, real-time coverage throughout the celebration. The activation highlights how Globe 5G enables fast, reliable storytelling, empowering media and creators to capture and share Dinagyang as it happens.
A major highlight of Globe’s Dinagyang celebration is the much-anticipated G Music Festival, happening on January 25 at Sunburst Park. The festival brings together music, community, and connectivity in one electrifying event, featuring headline performances by Rob Deniel and The Dukes. Ilonggos and visitors alike will have a shared space to celebrate the closing weekend of Dinagyang. Powered by Globe’s strong and reliable network, concert-goers can post live updates, stream performances, and connect with friends and family in real time, making the experience even more engaging and interactive.
More than just a concert, G Music Festival reflects Globe’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences that bring people together. By enabling seamless digital sharing and interaction, Globe ensures that the energy and excitement of the performances go beyond the venue and reach audiences far and wide.
Beyond media engagement and G Music Fest, Globe will roll out interactive on-ground and digital activities that encourage participation, creativity, and movement, bringing communities together while celebrating Ilonggo identity through technology-enabled experiences.
“Dinagyang reflects the heart of the Ilonggo, faith-filled, creative, and deeply connected,” said Roche Vandenberghe, Chief Marketing Officer. “Through reliable connectivity, Globe helps people experience the festival more fully and share their stories as they happen, strengthening community bonds both on the ground and online.”
As Iloilo continues to thrive as a progressive and digitally ready city, Globe remains committed to being a partner in culture and progress. This Dinagyang 2026, Globe blends tradition with technology to make the celebration more vibrant, more seamless, and truly shared.
