GLOBE TELECOM, INC.
The Globe Tower, 32nd Street corner 7th Avenue
Bonifacio Gobal City, Taguig City
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Globe Telecom, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the "Globe Group") which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at
December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the notes to the consolidated
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Globe Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its
financial performance, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2019, in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippines Standards on Auditing (PSA).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors'
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We
are independent of the Globe Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants in the Philippines (Code of Ethics) together with ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Philippines, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code
of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditors' Report
Thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 20-IS (Definitive
Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 2019, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors'
report thereon. The SEC Form 20-IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 are expected to be available to us after
the date of this auditors' report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover this other information and
we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to
read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

11111111111111111111111
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with PFRSs, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing
the Globe Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management
either intends to liquidate the Globe Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Globe Group's financial
reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Globe Group's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Globe Group's ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Globe Group to cease
to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Globe Group to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
Il l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l ll l l l l l l l l l l l ll l l l l l l ll l l l l l 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of
the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is

2.4 Business Combination and Goodwill
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration transferred in a
business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair
values of the assets transferred by the Globe Group, liabilities incurred by the Globe Group to the former
owners of the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the Globe Group in exchange for control of the
acquiree. Acquisition related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their
fair value except that:
 deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements
are recognized and measured in accordance with PAS 12, Income Taxes and PAS 19, Employee
Benefits, respectively;
 liabilities and equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or
share-based payment arrangement of the Globe Group entered into to replace share-based payment
arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, at the
acquisition date; and
 assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with PFRS 5, Non- current
assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the
acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in the consolidated profit or loss as bargain purchase
gain.
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For purposes of impairment
testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Globe Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate
share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at
the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized
amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a
transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interest are measured at fair value or,
when applicable, on the basis specified in another PFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Globe Group in a business combination includes assets or
liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured
at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business
combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period
adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement
period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement
period (which cannot exceed one year from acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at
the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify
as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent
consideration that is classified as equity is not measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a
liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, or
PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding
gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Globe Group’s previously held equity interest in
the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is
recognized in profit or loss. Amount arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date
that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss
where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in
which the combination occurs, the Globe Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the
accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or
additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts
recognized at that date.
2.4.1 Consolidation procedures

The assets, liabilities, income and expense of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control
is transferred to the Parent Company and ceases to be consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred out of the Parent Company.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company
as well as accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. When
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the
subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Globe Group’s accounting policies.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits and losses, were
eliminated in full during consolidation.
For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Globe
Group’s foreign operations are translated into Philippine Peso using exchange rates prevailing at the end of
each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.
Exchange differences arising from the translation, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in other equity reserves.
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity reserves in
respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.4.2 Determination of control

The Parent Company controls an investee if and only if the Parent Company has:
 power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
 exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
 the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Parent Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Parent
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,
including:
 the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
 rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
 the Parent Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Globe Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
2.4.3 Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interests pertain to the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly to the
Globe Group. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries
not wholly-owned and are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated
statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of financial position, separately from the
equity attributable to the Parent Company.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity
holders of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having deficit balance.
2.4.4 Changes in ownership without loss of control

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. The carrying amounts of the Globe Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interest in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the
amount by which the non-controlling interest are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or
received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company.
2.4.5 Changes in ownership with loss of control

If the Globe Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill),
liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

2.5 Financial Instruments
2.5.1 Initial Recognition

Financial instruments are recognized in the Globe Group’s consolidated statements of financial position
when the Globe Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Globe
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the initial
measurement of the Group’s financial instruments, except for financial instruments classified at fair value
through profit or loss (FVPL).
2.5.2 Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

The Globe Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at FVPL,
financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI).
2.5.2.1 Financial assets at FVPL

The Globe Group classifies the following investments as financial assets at FVPL:
 investments in equity securities unless irrevocably elected at initial recognition to be
measured at FVOCI;
 investments in debt instruments held within a business model whose objective is to sell prior to
maturity or has contractual terms that does not give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, unless designated as
effective hedging instruments under a cash flow hedge;
 investments that contain embedded derivatives; and
 investment in debt instruments designated as financial assets at FVPL at initial recognition.
Financial assets at FVPL are carried at fair value at the end of each reporting period with any resultant
gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets classified under this category are disclosed in Note 33.1.
2.5.2.2 Financial assets at amortized cost

Investments in debt instrument, loans, trade and other receivables that are held within a business model
whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and has contractual cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are classified as financial assets at
amortized cost, unless the asset is designated at FVPL under the fair value option.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets classified under this category are measured at amortized
cost using effective interest method, less any impairment.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of
allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the debt instrument or, when
appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables
when the effect of discounting is not material.

Financial assets classified under this category are disclosed in Note 33.1.
2.5.2.3 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Globe Group classifies the following investments as financial assets at FVOCI:
 Investments in debt instrument that is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both
by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and has contractual terms that give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding, unless the asset is designated at FVPL under the fair value option;
 Investments in equity securities irrevocably elected to be measured at FVOCI; and
 Derivative designated as effective hedging instruments under cash flow hedges.
Financial assets at FVOCI are carried at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the
carrying amount financial assets at FVOCI arising from movements in fair value are recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity reserves. When the investment is disposed of, the
cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in equity reserves is reclassified directly to retained
earnings.
Financial assets classified under this category are disclosed in Notes 33.1.
2.5.3 Impairment of Financial Assets at amortized cost

The Globe Group assesses at end of the reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
The Globe Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt
instruments that are measured at amortized cost, loans, trade receivables and contract assets. The amount
of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial
recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The Globe Group applies the simplified ECL approach and always recognizes lifetime ECL for trade
receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based
on the characteristics of the product and payment behavior of the subscriber at the reporting date.
For all other financial instruments, the Globe Group recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial
instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Globe Group measures the loss
allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 -month ECL.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over
the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12 -month ECL represents the portion of lifetime
ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12
months after the reporting date.
The Globe Group measures ECL on an individual basis, or on a collective basis for portfolios of
receivables that share similar economic risk characteristics.

Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk on non-trade receivables has increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Globe Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the
reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the date of initial
recognition. In making this assessment, the Globe Group considers both quantitative and qualitative
information that is reasonable and supportable, including histo rical experience and forward-looking
information that is available without undue cost or effort. The forward-looking information considered
includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Group’s debtors operate.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has
increased significantly since initial recognition:
 an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s credit rating;
 significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial
instrument;
 existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected
to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
 an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
 significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;
 an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological
environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt
obligations.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Globe Group presumes that the credit risk on
non-trade receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are
more than 30 days past due unless the Globe Group has reasonable and supportable information that
demonstrates otherwise.
Despite the foregoing, the Globe Group assumes that the credit risk on non-trade receivables has not
increased significantly since initial recognition if the instrument is determined to have low credit risk at
the reporting date. The Globe Group considers a financial asset to have low credit risk when the
counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts. An instrument is
determined to have low credit risk if:
 The financial instrument has a low risk of default,
 The debtor has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term,
and
 Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not
necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
The Globe Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are
capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

Definition of default
For subscribers receivable and contract assets, the Globe Group considers that default has occurred
when the subscriber has been permanently disconnected.
For all other receivables, The Globe Group considers the following as constituting an event of default as
historical experience indicates that financial assets that meet either of the following criteria are generally
not recoverable:
 when there is a breach of financial covenants by the debtor; or
 information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is
unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Globe Group, in full (without taking into account any
collateral held by the Group).
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Globe Group considers that default has occurred when a financial
asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Globe Group has reasonable and supportable information to
demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is
credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
 significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
 a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
 the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial
difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise
consider;
 it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganisation; or
 the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial
difficulties.
Write-off policy
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe
financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, (e.g. when the debtor has been placed
under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the Group has effectively
exhausted all collection efforts). Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement
activities under the Globe Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where
appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognized in profit or loss.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default
(i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the
probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking
information as described above.
As for the exposure at default, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting
date.
The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to
the Globe Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Globe Group expects to
receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

If the Globe Group has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to
lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the
conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Globe Group measures the loss allowance at an
amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets such as trade receivables
and contract assets for which simplified approach was used.
The Globe Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with
a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2.5.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance
with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and
equity instrument.
2.5.4.1 Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial liabilities

The Globe Group further classifies its financial liabilities into financial liabilities at FVPL and financial
liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial
liability and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
2.5.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVPL

This category consists of financial liabilities that were designated by management as FVPL on initial
recognition and derivative financial liabilities not designated as effective hedging instruments under cash
flow hedges.
Financial liabilities at FVPL are carried in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value,
with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities classified under this category are disclosed in Note 33.
2.5.4.1.2 Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Loans, trade and other payables which are not designated as financial liabilities at FVPL are classified
as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial liabilities classified under this category are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective rate method ( see Note 2.5.2.2). Financial
liabilities classified under this category is disclosed in Note 33.
2.5.4.1.3 Equity instruments
Capital Stock
Capital stock is recognized as issued when the stock is paid for or subscribed under a binding subscription
agreement and is measured at par value. The transaction costs incurred as a necessary part of completing
an equity transaction are accounted for as part of that transaction and are deducted from additional paid-in
capital, net of related income tax benefits.
Additional Paid-in Capital

Additional paid-in capital includes any premium received in excess of par value on the issuance of capital
stock.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represent accumulated profit attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company
after deducting dividends declared. Retained earnings may also include effect of changes in
accounting policy as may be required by the standard’s transitional provisions.

2.5.5 Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial
assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as
a hedge of an identified risk and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. The objective of hedge
accounting is to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging instrument in the consolidated
profit or loss. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must comply with requirements
such as the designation of the derivative as a hedge of an identified risk exposure, hedge documentation,
probability of occurrence of the forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge, assessment (both
prospective and retrospective bases) and measurement of hedge effectiveness, and reliability of the
measurement bases of the derivative instruments.
Upon inception of the hedge, the Globe Group documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge
transactions, and the details of the hedging instrument and the hedged item. The Globe Group also
documents its hedge effectiveness assessment methodology, both at the hedge inception and on an
ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Hedge effectiveness is likewise measured, with any ineffectiveness being reported immediately in the
consolidated profit or loss.
2.5.5.1 Types of Hedges

The Globe Group designates derivatives which qualify as accounting hedges as either:
 a hedge of the fair value of a recognized fixed rate asset, liability or unrecognized firm
commitment (fair value hedge); or
 a hedge of the cash flow variability of recognized floating rate asset and liability or
forecasted sales transaction (cash flow hedge).
Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges are hedges of the exposure to variability in the fair value of recognized assets, liabilities
or unrecognized firm commitments. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a fair value
hedge, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are
recognized in the consolidated profit or loss in the same accounting period. Hedge effectiveness is
determined based on the hedge ratio of the fair value changes of the hedging instrument and the underlying
hedged item. When the hedge ceases to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Cash Flow Hedges
A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash flows related to a recognized
asset, liability or a forecasted sales transaction. Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument that
qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in other equity reserves. Any hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in the
If the hedged cash flow results in the recognition of a nonfinancial asset or liability, gains and losses
previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred from equity and included in the
initial measurement of the cost or carrying value of the asset or liability.
Otherwise, for all other cash flow hedges, gains and losses initially recognized in equity are transferred
to consolidated profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted
transaction or recognized asset or liability affect earnings.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge ceases to be highly effective. When
hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative gains or losses on the hedging instrument that has been
recognized in OCI is retained in other equity reserves until the hedged transaction impacts consolidated
profit or loss. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, any net cumulative gains or
losses previously recognized in other equity reserves is immediately reclassified in the consolidated profit
or loss.
2.5.6 Other Derivative Instruments Not Accounted for as Accounting Hedges

Certain freestanding derivative instruments that provide economic hedges under the Globe Group’s
policies either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as accounting hedges. Changes
in the fair values of derivative instruments not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in the
2.5.7 Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
2.5.8 Derecognition of Financial Instruments
2.5.8.1 Financial Asset

The Globe Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the asset expire or when the Globe Group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Globe Group neither transfers nor retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the
Globe Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may
have to pay. If the Globe Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a
transferred financial asset, the Globe Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also
recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and
the sum of the consideration received and receivable are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

2.5.8.2 Financial Liability
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or
expired. On derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognized and the sum of consideration paid and payable is recognized in the
2.6 Inventories
Inventories are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. The costs of inventories are calculated using the moving average method. Net realizable value
represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the
sale.
When the net realizable value of the inventories is lower than the cost, the Globe Group provides for an
allowance for the decline in the value of the inventory and recognizes the write-down as an expense in the
consolidated profit or loss. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an
increase in net realizable value, is recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an
expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in
which the related revenue is recognized.
2.7 Prepayments
Prepayments represent expenses not yet incurred but already paid in cash. Prepayments are initially
recorded as assets and measured at the amount of cash paid. Subsequently, these are charged to profit or
loss as they are consumed in operations or expire with the passage of time.
Prepayments are classified in the consolidated statement of financial position as current assets when the
cost of goods or services related to the prepayments are expected to be incurred within one year.
Otherwise, prepayments are classified as non-current assets.
2.8 Value Added Tax (VAT)

Input VAT is recognized when the Globe Group purchases goods or services from a VAT registered
supplier or vendor. This account is offset against any output VAT previously recognized.
Input VAT on capital goods exceeding ₱1 million and input VAT from purchases of goods and
services which remain unpaid at each reporting date are recognized as “Deferred input VAT” presented
under “Prepayments and Other Current Assets”.
2.9 Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment
comprises:
 its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after
deducting trade discounts and rebates;
 any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to
be capable of operating in the manner intended by management; and
 the initial estimate of the future costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on
which it is located.
The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling
and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs on qualifying
assets.
Major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as property and equipment when the Globe

Group expects to use them during more than one period. Similarly, if the spare parts and servicing
equipment can be used only in connection with an item of property and equipment, they are accounted for
as property and equipment.
At the end of each reporting period, items of property and equipment are carried at cost less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditures relating to an item of property and equipment that have already been recognized
are added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess
of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Globe Group. All
other subsequent expenditures are recognized as expenses in the period in which those are incurred.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives (EUL) of the
assets as follows:
Years
Telecommunications equipment:
Tower 20
Switch 7-10
Outside plant, cellsite structures and improvements 10-20
Distribution dropwires and other wireline asset 2-10
Cellular equipment and others 3-10
Buildings 20
Cable systems 5-20
Office equipment 3-7
Transportation equipment 3-5
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their EUL of 5 years or the corresponding lease
terms.
The EUL of property and equipment are reviewed annually based on expected asset utilization of expected
future technological developments and market behavior.
Assets in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. These are
transferred to the related property and equipment account when the construction or installation and the
related activities necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use are complete, and
the property and equipment are ready for service. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other
property and equipment, commences at the time the assets are ready for their intended use.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an
asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

2.10 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially recognized at cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over
their EUL. The EUL and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the
effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Internally-generated intangible assets

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal
project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following conditions have been demonstrated:
 technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
 intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
 ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
 how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
 availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or
sell the intangible asset; and
 ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its
development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred
from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized in the consolidated profit
or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired
separately.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are recognized
initially at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are
acquired separately.
Amortization of intangible asset is computed based on the EUL of the assets below:
Years
Software 3-10
Spectrum and franchise 10
Customer contracts 4
Merchant networks 4-21

Derecognition of Intangible assets
Intangible assets are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to
arise from the continued use of the asset. Gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is
determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
2.11 Investments in Associate and Joint Venture

An associate is an entity over which the Globe Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the
power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint
control over those policies.
A joint venture (JV) is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary
to determine control over subsidiaries.
Investments in associate or JV are measured initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Globe
Group’s investments in its associate and JV are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investments in an associate and JV are carried in the consolidated statements
of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Globe Group’s share in net assets of the
associate and JV, less any allowance for impairment losses. The consolidated profit or loss includes the
Globe Group’s share in the results of operations of its associate or JV. Any change in OCI of those
investees is presented as part of the Globe Group’s OCI. In addition, where there has been a change
recognized directly in the equity of the associate or JV, the Globe Group recognizes its share of any
changes and discloses this, when applicable, directly in equity.
When the share of losses recognized under the equity method has reduced the investment to zero, the
Globe Group shall discontinue recognizing its share of further losses and apply it to
other interests that, in substance, form part of the Globe Group’s net investment in the associate or JV. If
the associate or JV subsequently reports profits, the Globe Group will resume recognizing its share of those
profits only after its share of the profits equal the share in losses not recognized.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the
Globe Group.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Globe Group
measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying
amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value
of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

2.12 Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Globe Group assesses whether there is any indication that any of
its tangible and intangible assets with finite useful lives may have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset,
the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, assets are also allocated to individual cash-
generating units, or
otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and
consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognized as an expense. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the
carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any
indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been
a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had
been recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income. Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
2.13 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Globe Group has a present obligation, either legal or constructive, as a
result of a past event and it is probable that the Globe Group will be required to settle the obligation
through an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits, and the amount of the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
The amount of the provision recognized is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the
present obligation at the end of each reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. A provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present
obligation; its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from
a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be
received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
If it is no longer probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the
provision should be reversed.

2.13.1 Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO)
The net present value of legal obligations associated with the retirement of an item of property and
equipment that resulted from the acquisition, construction or development and the normal operation of
property and equipment is recognized in the period in which it is incurred. The retirement obligation is
initially measured at the present value of the estimated future dismantlement or restoration cost using
current market borrowing rates. Subsequently, the discount is amortized as interest expense.
Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities

Changes in the measurement of an existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liability that result
from changes in the estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
required to settle the obligation, are accounted as follows;
 changes in the liability are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset in the current
period, except that the amount deducted from the cost of the asset must not exceed its carrying
amount. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is
recognized immediately in the consolidated profit or loss; and
 if the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the entity should consider whether
this may indicate that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. If so,
the asset should be tested for impairment.
2.14 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognized because their existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
Globe Group.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are disclosed only if an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.15 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in an arrangement with the customer, net of
any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Globe Group recognizes revenue upon transfer of
control of a product or service to a customer.
In arrangements where another party is involved in providing the services, the Globe Group assesses
whether the nature of its promise in the arrangement is to provide the specified services itself or arrange
for those services to be provided by the other party. If the promise in an arrangement is to provide the
services itself, the Globe Group recognizes the service revenue at gross amount of consideration, with the
amount remitted to the other party being recognized as expense. However, if the promise is to simply
arrange for those services to be provided by the other party, the Globe Group recognizes service
revenues equivalent only to the extent of fees or commission to which it expects to be entitled in
exchange for arranging the services.

The Globe Group recognizes revenues from the following sources:
 Mobile services provided to subscribers at prepaid or postpaid arrangements such as Short
Messaging Services (SMS), voice, data communication, and other value added services (Note
2.15.1);
 Wireline services provided to subscribers under subscription arrangements such as, voice,
corporate communication, and home broadband internet (Note 2.15.1);
 Inbound traffic originating from other telecommunications providers that terminates at Globe
Group’s network (Note 2.15.2);
 Inbound roaming due from foreign carriers (Note 2.15.3);
 Postpaid wireless communication services bundled with sale of handsets and other devices (Note
2.15.4);
 Postpaid wireline communication services bundled with equipment installation services (Note
2.15.5);
 Leases, interests and management fees (Note 2.15.7).
2.15.1 Mobile and wireline services

Monthly service fees from mobile and wireline services under postpaid subscriptions are recognized as
service revenues throughout the subscription period.
Proceeds from over-the-air reloading channels and sale of prepaid cards are initially recognized as
deferred revenues. These are eventually charged as service revenues upon actual usage of load value.
Any unused remaining load value after the prescribed validity period are immediately recognized as
service revenue.
Subscription to promotional offer of SMS, voice, data communication, broadband internet, and other
services, are recognized as service revenue over the promotional period.
2.15.2 Inbound traffic

Inbound traffic originating from other telecommunications providers that terminates at the Globe
Group’s network are recognized as service revenues in the period the inbound traffic occurred based
on agreed rates with the other telecommunication providers.
2.15.3 Inbound roaming services

Service revenues from foreign carriers for inbound roaming transactions at the Globe Group’s network
are recognized in the period the inbound roaming connection is provided.
2.15.4 Postpaid mobile services and sale of mobile handsets and other devices
The Globe Group provides postpaid wireless communication services which are bundled with sale of
mobile handsets and other devices. The postpaid wireless communication services and the sale of devices
are considered two separate performance obligations which are capable of being distinct and separately
identifiable. The Globe Group allocates the contract consideration between the two performance
obligations based on their corresponding relative stand-alone selling prices (SSP). The stand-alone selling
prices are determined based on the expected cost plus margin or adjusted market approach. The amount
allocated to the postpaid wireless communication service is recognized as service revenue over the period
of subscription. Any amount allocated to the sale of device is immediately recognized as non-service
revenue upon delivery of the item. Contract assets are recognized for the unbilled portion of the
consideration allocated to the sale of devices which are subsequently reduced as the monthly service fees
are billed to the subscribers.

The Globe Group does not make any adjustments for the significant financing component on contract
assets since it expects that the period between the delivery of the handset up to the date of its full settlement
will not exceed one year from the contract inception.
2.15.5 Postpaid subscription to wireline services and equipment installation services

The Globe Group provides equipment installation services which are bundled with postpaid wireline
services. The promise to install the equipment is not considered as a distinct service from the postpaid
wireline service since the subscriber may not be able to benefit from the installation services without the
availability of the postpaid wireline services. Accordingly, the two services are deemed as one performance
obligation.
Service revenues from the equipment installation and postpaid wireline services are recognized over time
throughout the period of subscription. Outright payments received from the installation services are
initially recognized as contract liabilities and subsequently charged as service revenues over the period of
subscription.
2.15.6 Globe Rewards

The Globe Group operates Globe Rewards Program through which subscribers accumulate points upon
purchase of certain products and services. The Globe Rewards points may be redeemed in the form of
mobile promos, bill rebates, gadgets and gift certificates, or use the earned points as cash at partner stores.
The promise to provide free products and rebates to the subscribers give rise to a performance obligation
that is distinct and separately identifiable.
Accordingly, the Globe Group allocates a portion of the transaction price from its service revenues to
Globe Rewards points awarded to subscribers based on its relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-
alone selling price per point is estimated based on the discount or free products to be given when the
points are redeemed by the subscriber. Amounts allocated to Globe Rewards points are initially
recognized as deferred revenues and subsequently charged as service revenues either upon redemption
of points or upon expiration.
2.15.7 Other income
2.15.7.1 Interest
Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.
2.15.7.2 Lease
Lease income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In a finance lease arrangement, the present value of the aggregate of the minimum lease receivable and any
unguaranteed residual value accruing to the Globe Group are immediately recognized as income.
2.15.7.3 Management fees

Management fee is recognized when services are provided.
2.15.8 Deferred contract costs

Costs to obtain contracts with customers that would not have been incurred if the contracts were not
obtained are recognized as deferred contract costs. Deferred contract costs are subsequently recognized
as expense on a straight-line basis over the contract period.
Costs to obtain contracts with customers that would have been incurred irrespective of whether the
contract were obtained are immediately recognized as expense.

Costs incurred to fulfill a contract are capitalized as deferred contract costs if all of the following
conditions are met:
 The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Globe Group can
specifically identify;
 The costs generate or enhance resources of the Globe Group that will be used in satisfying
performance obligation in the future; and
 The costs are expected to be recovered.
2.16 Expense recognition

Expenses are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss when decrease in future economic benefit related
to a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably. Expenses are
recognized in the consolidated profit or loss on the basis of: (i) a direct association between the costs
incurred and the earning of specific items of income; (ii) systematic and rational allocation procedures
when economic benefits are expected to arise over several accounting periods and the association with
income can only be broadly or indirectly determined; or (iii) immediately when an expenditure produces no
future economic benefits or when, and to the extent that, future economic benefits do not qualify, or cease
to qualify, for recognition in the consolidated statements of financial position as an asset.
Expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income are presented using the nature of
expense method.
2.17 Staff Costs
2.17.1 Short-term benefits

The Globe Group recognizes a liability net of amounts already paid and an expense for services rendered
by employees during the accounting period. A liability is also recognized for the amount expected to be
paid under short-term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Globe Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the
related service is provided.
2.17.2 Post Employee benefits

The Globe Group has a funded non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan. For the defined benefit
retirement plan, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with
actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurements,
comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the
return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the consolidated statements of
financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which
they occur. Past service cost is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss in the period of a plan
amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net
defined benefit liability or asset.

Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
 Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on
curtailments and settlements)
 Net interest expense or income
 Remeasurement
The Globe Group presents service cost and interest in the consolidated profit or loss in the line item
pension costs and finance cost, respectively. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past
service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position represents
the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.
Plan assets are assets held by a long-term employee benefit fund. Plan assets are not available to the
creditors of the Globe Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Globe Group. Fair value of plan assets is
based on market price information.
2.18 Share-based Payment Transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and directors is measured by reference to the fair
value at the date at which they are granted. In valuing equity-settled transactions, vesting conditions,
including performance conditions, other than market conditions (conditions linked to share prices), shall
not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement
date. Instead, vesting conditions are taken into account in estimating the number of equity instruments that
will vest.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss, together with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the
date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). The cumulative
expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the opinion of the
management of the Globe Group at that date, based on the best available estimate of the number of equity
instruments, will ultimately vest. Costs of exercised awards plus the corresponding strike amount are
reclassified to the appropriate capital accounts.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is
conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market
condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognized as if the
terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognized for any increase in the value of the
transaction as a result of the modification, measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled
award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognized for the award is recognized immediately.
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on
the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the
original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is
reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (EPS).

2.19 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are capitalized if these are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities for the
asset’s intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing
costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use.
Borrowing costs include interest charges and other related financing charges incurred in connection with
the borrowing of funds, as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to
finance these projects to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Other borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which these are incurred.
2.20 Leases
2.20.1 Globe Group as Lessee

The Globe Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The
Group recognizes a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease
arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of
12 months or less) and leases of low value assets.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
For short-term leases and leases of low value assets, the Globe Group recognizes the lease payments as an
operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
In identifying the lease term, the Globe Group takes into account the non-cancellable period for which it
has the right to use the underlying asset, together with all of the following:
 the periods covered by an enforceable option to extend the lease (if the Globe Group is
reasonably certain to exercise that option); and
 the periods covered by an enforceable option to terminate the lease (if the Globe Group is
reasonably certain not to exercise that option).
The lease terms in arrangements wherein both the lessor and the lessee has the right to terminate the lease
without incurring significant amount of penalty are excluded as part of the non- cancellable period of the
lease.
Lease Liabilities
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the Globe Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
 Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives
receivable;
 Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at
the commencement date;
 The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
 The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the
options; and
 Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option
to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The
lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease
payments made.
The Globe Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related
right of use asset) whenever:
 The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a
change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is
remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
 The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment
under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting
the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is
due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
 A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in
which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by
discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the
modification.
The Group did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented.
Right of Use Assets

The right of use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease
payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial
direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying
asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
The right of use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Globe Group applies its accounting policy on impairment of non-financial assets in determining
whether a right of use asset is impaired and in accounting for any identified impairment loss.
2.21 Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than functional currency of the entities included in the Globe Group are
recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting
period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies
of the entities in the Globe Group are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Gains and losses arising on retranslation are included in the consolidated profit or loss for the year. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.
2.22 Income Tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax.

Current Income Tax
The current tax expense is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as
reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or
deductible.
2.22.1 Deferred Income Tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable
profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if
the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the
reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such
investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient
taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to
reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part
of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Current tax and deferred tax for the year are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss, except when they
relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the
current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity
respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business
combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

2.23 EPS
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, after giving retroactive effect for any stock dividends, stock
splits or reverse stock splits during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect for any
stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits during the period, and adjusted for the effect of dilutive
options and dilutive convertible preferred shares. Outstanding stock options will have a dilutive effect
under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the underlying common share
during the period exceeds the exercise price of the option. If the required dividends to be declared on
convertible preferred shares divided by the number of equivalent common shares, assuming such shares are
converted, would decrease the basic EPS, then such convertible preferred shares would be deemed dilutive.
Where the effect of the assumed conversion of the preferred shares and the exercise of all outstanding
options have anti-dilutive effect, basic and diluted EPS are stated at the same amount.
2.24 Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on
the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
 In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
 In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Globe Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Globe Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
 Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
 Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Globe Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities
on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above (see Note 33.3).

2.25 Operating Segment
The Globe Group’s major operating business units are the basis upon which the Globe Group reports its
primary segment information. The Globe Group’s business segments consist of:
(1) mobile communication services and (2) wireline communication services.
All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Globe Group generally
accounts for intersegment revenues and expenses at agreed transfer prices.
2.26 Events after the Reporting Period

Any post period-end event up to the date of approval of the BOD of the consolidated financial
statements that provides additional information about the Globe Group’s position at the end of reporting
period (adjusting event) is reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Any post period-end event
that is not an adjusting event is disclosed in the consolidated financial statements when material.

Adoption of New Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial
statements are consistent with prior years, except for the effects of the adoption of new and revised
accounting standards set out below.
3.1 Adoption of PFRS 16, Leases Effective January 1, 2019

Prior to adoption of PFRS 16, the Globe Group recognizes rental expense on its operating leases on a
straight line basis over the term of the lease. Upon adoption of PFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the
Globe Group recognizes right of use asset and lease liabilities in the consolidated statements of
financial position which are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments of the
non-cancellable periods of the lease. Right of use assets are subsequently depreciated on a straight
line basis over the lease term. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using
effective interest method. The cash paid to settle the lease liabilities are presented as part of the Globe
Group’s financing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
For leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets, the Globe Group opted to
recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis as a practical expedient permitted under PFRS 16.
In identifying the lease term, the Globe Group takes into account the non-cancellable period for
which it has the right to use the underlying asset, together with all of the following:
 the periods covered by an enforceable option to extend the lease (if the Globe Group is
reasonably certain to exercise that option); and
 the periods covered by an enforceable option to terminate the lease (if the Globe Group is
reasonably certain not to exercise that option).
The lease terms in arrangements wherein both the lessor and the lessee has the right to terminate
the lease without incurring significant amount of penalty are excluded as part of the non-
cancellable period of the lease.

In adopting PFRS 16, the Globe Group used the modified retrospective approach wherein the
cumulative effect of the initial application of the standards were recognized at January 1, 2019, and
the comparative periods were not restated. The Globe Group also applied transitional reliefs and
practical expedients for the measurements of lease liabilities and right of use assets arising from leases
previously classified as operating lease.
The following table shows the individual line items affected by the adjustments from the adoption of PFRS
16. Accounts not affected by the new standards are excluded in the presentation.

Operating lease for which the lease term ends within 12 months
As a practical expedient, the Globe Group did not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities in
respect of leases previously classified as operating lease for which the lease term ends within 12
months from the date of initial application. Instead, these leases were accounted for in the same way
as short-term leases.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities amounting to ₱3,443.29 million in respect of leases previously classified as
operating leases were recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at transition
date. The transition lease liabilities were measured using the present value of future lease
payments of the non-cancellable periods of the lease, discounted using the Globe Group’s
incremental borrowing rate at transition date.
Right of use assets

Right of use assets amounting to ₱3,483.21 million in respect of leases previously classified as
operating leases were recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at transition date.
The right of use assets at transition date were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability,
adjusted by the prepaid rentals relating to those leases that remained outstanding in the consolidated
statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application. Total prepaid
rentals reclassified to right of use assets at transition date amounted ₱39.92 million.

Accrued long-term leases
Accrued long-term leases amounting ₱481.12 million at transition date arising from the straight- line
recognition of lease expense in respect of leases previously classified as operating leases were
derecognized in the statement of financial position with corresponding net of tax adjustment to retained
earnings and non-controlling interest amounting to ₱336.46 million and ₱0.51 million, respectively.
The lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as of 31
December 2018, as follows:
Operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018 ₱5,328,989

Weighted average incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019 7.91%
Discounted operating lease commitments as at January 1, 2019 4,578,501

Commitments relating to short-term lease and low value assets (1,135,211)
Lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 ₱3,443,290
3.2 Adoption of Standards Effective January 1, 2019 With No Material Impact

In the current year, the Globe Group has applied a number of amendments to PFRS and interpretation
issued by IASB that are effective for annual period that begins on January 1, 2019. The adoption has not
had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements.
3.2.1 PFRS 9 - Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

The amendments to PFRS 9 clarified that for the purpose of assessing whether a prepayment feature
meets the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) condition, the party exercising the option may
pay or receive reasonable compensation for the prepayment irrespective of the reason for prepayment. In
other words, prepayment features with negative compensation do not automatically fail SPPI.
3.2.2 PAS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendment clarifies that PFRS 9, including its impairment requirements, applies to long-term interests.
Furthermore, in applying PFRS 9 to long-term interests, an entity does not take into account adjustments to
their carrying amount required by PAS 28 (i.e., adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term interests
arising from the allocation of losses of the investee or assessment of impairment in accordance with PAS
28).
3.2.3 PAS 19 - Employee Benefits, Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments require entities to use updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service
cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after such an event. The
amendments also clarify how the requirements for accounting for a plan amendment, curtailment or
settlement affect the asset ceiling requirements. The amendments do not address the accounting for
‘significant market fluctuations’ in the absence of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement.

3.2.4 PFRS 3 - Business Combinations
The amendments to PFRS 3 clarified that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint
operation, the entity applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages,
including remeasuring its previously held interest (PHI) in the joint operation at fair value. The PHI
to be remeasured includes any unrecognized assets, liabilities and goodwill relating to the joint
operation.
3.2.5 Amendments to PFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements

The amendments to PFRS 11 clarified that when a party that participates in, but does not have joint
control of, a joint operation that is a business obtains joint control of such a joint operation, the
entity does not remeasure its PHI in the joint operation.
3.2.6 PAS 12 - Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments Classified as

Equity
The amendments clarified that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of
dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity
originally recognized the transactions that generated the distributable profits. This is the case
irrespective of whether different tax rates apply to distributed and undistributed profits.
3.2.7 PAS 23 - Borrowing Costs Eligible for Capitalization

The amendments clarified that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready
for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when
calculating the capitalization rate on general borrowings.
3.2.8 IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

IFRIC 23 sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax
treatments. The interpretation requires an entity to:
 determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group; and
 assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or
proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings;
 If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax
treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings.
 If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax
position.
3.3 New and Revised Standards Not Yet Effective

At the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, the Globe Group has not applied
the following new and revised PFRS that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Globe Group
anticipates that the application of these new and revised standards will not have a material impact on the
Globe Group's consolidated financial statements in future periods.

3.3.1 PFRS 10 and PAS 28 (amendments) Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its
Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments to PFRS 10 and PAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets
between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or
losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with
an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognized in the parent’s
profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture.
Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former
subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to
fair value are recognized in the
former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate
or joint venture.
The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by the IASB; however, earlier application of the
amendments is permitted.
3.3.2 Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business

The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an
integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set
of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together
significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.
Additional guidance is provided that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired.
The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether
an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired
set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired
is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets.
The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the
acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with
early application permitted.
3.3.3 Amendments to PAS 1 and PAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments are intended to make the definition of material in PAS 1 easier to understand and are not
intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in PFRS. The concept of
‘obscuring’ material information with immaterial information has been included as part of the new
definition.
The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed from ‘could influence’ to ‘could
reasonably be expected to influence’.
The definition of material in PAS 8 has been replaced by a reference to the definition of material in PAS
1. In addition, the IASB amended other Standards and the Conceptual Framework that contain a
definition of material or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency.
The amendments are applied prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2020, with earlier application permitted.

3.3.4 Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards
Together with the revised Conceptual Framework, which became effective upon publication on March 28,
2018, the IASB has also issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in PFRS
Standards. The document contains amendments to PFRS 2, PFRS 3, PFRS 6, PFRS 14, PAS 1, PAS 8,
PAS 34, PAS 37, PAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, and SIC-32.
Not all amendments, however, update those pronouncements with regard to references to and quotes from
the framework so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework. Some pronouncements are only
updated to indicate which version of the Framework they are referencing to (the IASC Framework adopted
by the IASB in 2001, the IASB Framework of 2010, or the new revised Framework of 2018) or to indicate
that definitions in the Standard have not been updated with the new definitions developed in the revised
Conceptual Framework.
The amendments, where they actually are updates, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2020, with early application permitted.
3.4 Adoption of Standards Effective January 1, 2018

The Globe Group adopted PFRS 9 and 15 when they became effective on January 1, 2018.
The adoption of expected credit loss method of impairment under PFRS 9 resulted in recognition of
additional allowance for doubtful debts on subscribers’ receivables at transition date.
In adopting PFRS 15, the Globe Group identified all performance obligations from its contracts with
subscribers and assessed whether they are separately identifiable and capable of being distinct. For
each identified distinct performance obligation, the Globe Group performed re-allocation of contract
consideration based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. These resulted in recognition of
contract assets and contract liabilities at transition date. The Globe Group also capitalized certain
costs that were identified to be incremental in obtaining and fulfilling its contracts with subscribers
which resulted in the recognition of deferred contract costs at transition date.
In adopting PFRS 9 and 15, the Globe Group used the modified retrospective approach wherein the
cumulative effect of the initial application of the standards were recognized at January 1, 2018, and
the comparative periods were not restated.

Management’s Significant Accounting Judgments and Use of Estimates and
Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. The judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated
financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the
date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from such judgments, estimates
and assumptions.
Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
4.1 Critical Accounting Judgments
4.1.1 Allocation of Goodwill and Investments in Joint Ventures to Cash-Generating Units

For the purpose of performing annual impairment review, the Globe Group allocates the carrying amount
of goodwill from acquisition of BTI and investment in VTI, BAHC and BHC to the CGU of mobile
communications services or wireless segment. The Globe Group believes that CGUs represent the lowest
level within the Globe Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management reporting
purposes and not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with PFRS 8.

4.1.2 Contact Assets on Bundled Products
The Globe Group provides wireless communication services to subscribers which are bundled with
handset sales. Based on the Globe Group’s assessment, the performance obligations from the wireless
communication services and the sale of handsets are both capable of being distinct and separately
identifiable. Accordingly, the Globe Group allocates the total contract consideration to the two
performance obligations based on their corresponding relative SSP. Contract asset is recognized for
any unbilled amount allocated to the revenue from handset sales.
4.1.3 Contract Liabilities on Installation Services

The Globe Group provides equipment installation services bundled together with wireline
communication services. Based on the Globe Group’s assessment, the installation services is not distinct
from the wireline communication services and thus, deemed as one performance obligation.
Accordingly, revenues from the installation and wireline communication services are recognized over
time throughout the period of the subscription contract.
4.1.4 Deferred Contract Costs

The Globe Group incurs certain commissions and installation costs in relation to the service provided
to its subscribers. Based on the Globe Group’s assessment, these costs are incremental in obtaining and
fulfilling its performance obligations. Accordingly, the Globe Group recognizes deferred contracts costs
which are amortized as expense throughout the period of the subscription contract.
4.1.5 Determination of SSP in arrangements with multiple performance obligations

In revenue arrangements involving multiple performance obligations, the transaction price are allocated to
each separate performance obligation based on the relative SSP of the goods or services being provided to
the customer. The best evidence of SSP is the price an entity charges for that good or service when the
entity sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. However, goods or services are not
always sold separately. In such case, the SSP need to be estimated or derived by other means.
The Globe Group maximized the use of all available observable inputs and applied the expected cost
plus margin or adjusted market approach as the estimation method in determining the SSP of the goods
and services in arrangements with multiple performance obligations.
4.1.6 Determination of Whether the Globe Group is Acting as a Principal or an Agent

The Globe Group’s VAS offers a full range of downloadable content covering multiple topics including
news, information, and entertainment wherein another party is involved in providing such services. In such
case, the Globe Group assesses each arrangement and determines whether the nature of its promise is to
provide the specified services itself or arrange for those services to be provided by the other party.
If the promise in an arrangement is to provide the services itself, the Globe Group recognizes the service
revenue at gross amount of consideration. Otherwise, the Globe Group recognizes service revenues
equivalent only to the extent of fees or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for
arranging the services.

4.1.7 Financial Asset Business Model Assessment
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the SPPI and the business
model test. The Globe Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial
assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement
reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their
performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed and
how the managers of the assets are compensated.
Except for the derivative instruments, the Globe Group classified all of its non-equity instrument
financial assets as financial assets at amortized cost in accordance with the SPPI and business model test
requirements of PFRS 9.
4.2 Key Estimation Uncertainties
4.2.1 Deferred Revenues on Globe Rewards

The Globe Group allocates a portion of the transaction price of its service revenues to Globe Rewards
points and recognizes the corresponding deferred revenues. The allocation is based on its relative SSP per
point which is determined based on the expected discount or free products that will be availed when the
points are redeemed by the subscriber. The Globe Group uses historical data and trends in estimating the
SSP of rewards points. The amounts and timing of recording revenues would be affected by changes in
circumstances and trends. An increase in the estimated SSP per point would increase the recognized
deferred revenues and decrease the revenues for the period.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the estimated liability for unredeemed points included in deferred
revenues in the consolidated statements of financial position amounted to ₱1,431.10 million and ₱1,542.58
million, respectively (See Note 7.2).
4.2.2 ECL Impairment on Subscribers Receivables and Contract Assets

When measuring ECL the Globe Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information,
which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers
will affect each other. Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking
into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the
likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data,
assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
An increase in ECL rates on subscribers receivables and contract assets would increase the loss allowance
Impairment loss recognized using ECL in 2019 and 2018 on subscribers receivable amounted to
₱3,147.13 million and ₱2,955.27 million, and contract assets amounted to ₱256.90 million and
₱457.66 million, respectively (see Note 28).

4.2.3 Inventory Obsolescence and Market Decline
The Globe Group, in determining the NRV, considers any adjustment necessary for obsolescence which is
generally provided for nonmoving items after a certain period. The Globe Group adjusts the cost of
inventory to the recoverable value at a level considered adequate to reflect market decline in the value of the
recorded inventories. The Globe Group reviews the classification of the inventories and generally provides
adjustments for recoverable values of new, actively sold and slow-moving inventories by reference to
prevailing values of the same inventories in the market.
The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different estimates were utilized.
An increase in allowance for inventory obsolescence and market decline would decrease the profit for the
period, and decrease current assets.
Inventory obsolescence and market decline in 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to ₱713.72 million,
₱377.78 million and ₱403.04 million, respectively (see Note 9 and 28).
Inventories and supplies, net of allowances, amounted to ₱4,713.57 million and ₱4,854.94 million as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (see Note 9).
4.2.4 ARO
The Globe Group recognizes ARO in relation to its obligations to bear the costs of dismantling the
constructed assets in leased properties and to restore such properties to the original condition at the end
of the lease period. The recognition of ARO requires the Globe Group to estimate the future restoration
and dismantling costs and determine the appropriate discount rate to be applied in the present value
calculation. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different inputs
in the estimates were utilized. An increase in ARO would increase recorded expenses and increase
noncurrent liabilities.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, ARO amounted to ₱2,742.63 million and ₱2,523.94 million,
respectively (see Note 20).
4.2.5 EUL of Property and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Right of Use Assets
The useful life of each of the item of property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets
with finite useful lives is estimated based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available
for use. Such estimation is based on a collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical
evaluation and experience with similar assets and expected asset utilization based on future technological
developments and market behavior.
It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates
brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the EUL of property and equipment,
intangible assets and right of use assets would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization
expense and decrease noncurrent assets.
The carrying amounts of property and equipment with finite useful lives amounted to
₱180,387.74 million and ₱167,118.98 million, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (see Note
11).
The carrying amounts of intangible assets with finite useful lives amounted to
₱12,653.78 million and ₱12,558.02 million, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (see
Note 12).
The carrying amounts of right of use assets amounted to ₱3,556.28 million as of December 31, 2019 (see
Note 13).

4.2.6 Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets Other Than Goodwill
The Globe Group performs an impairment review when certain impairment indicators are present.
Determining the recoverable amounts of property and equipment, intangible assets, right of use assets and
investments in associates and joint ventures requires the Globe Group to make estimates and assumptions
on the cash flows expected to be generated from those assets. While the Globe Group believes that the
assumptions are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect
the assessment of recoverable values and may lead to impairment charges. Any resulting impairment loss
could have a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations.
The aggregate carrying value of property and equipment, intangible assets (excluding goodwill), right of use
assets and investments amounted to ₱233,356.45 million and ₱216,378.57 million as of December 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively (see Notes 11, 12, 13 and 15).
Impairment loss recognized on property and equipment amounted to ₱59.16 million, ₱61.74 million and
₱28.32 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Note 28).
Impairment loss recognized on investment in associate amounted to nil in 2019 and 2018, and
₱286.04 million in 2017, respectively (Note 28).
4.2.7 Impairment of Goodwill

The Globe Group’s impairment test for goodwill is based on value in use calculations that use a discounted
cash flow model. The cash flows of the CGU are derived from the business plan for the next five years and
do not include restructuring activities that the Globe Group is not yet committed to or significant future
investments that will enhance the asset base of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is most
sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash
inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the
carrying value of goodwill amounted to ₱2,899.32 million and
₱1,140.25 million, respectively (see Note 12).
In 2018, management determined that the recoverable amount of goodwill related to the acquisition of TAO
and Socialytics are less than its carrying value. Accordingly, the Globe Group recognized impairment loss
amounting to ₱140.40 million and ₱2.39 million, respectively
(see Notes 12 and 28). No impairment loss on goodwill was recognized in 2019 and 2017.
4.2.8 Deferred Income Tax Assets

The carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the combined gross deferred tax assets of the Globe Group amounted
to ₱10,178.55 million and ₱10,437.19 million, respectively (see Note 30).

4.2.9 Pension Benefits
The determination of the retirement obligation cost and retirement benefits is dependent on the selection
of certain assumptions used by independent actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions
include among others, discount rates and rates of compensation increase. Actual results that differ from
the assumptions are charged to other comprehensive income and therefore, generally affect the equity
and recorded obligation. While the Globe Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and
appropriate, significant differences in the actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions
may materially affect the pension and other retirement obligations.
The net pension liability as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to ₱3,738.43 million and
₱1,459.46 million, respectively. Further details are provided in Note 29.2.
4.2.10 Share-based Compensation

The Globe Group also determines the cost of equity-settled transactions using assumptions on the
appropriate pricing model. Significant assumptions for the cost of share-based payments include, among
others, share price, exercise price, option life, expected dividend and expected volatility rate. While the
Globe Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the
assumptions may materially affect the recognized expense and equity.
Cost of share-based payments in 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to ₱325.16 million,
₱236.71 million and ₱104.83 million, respectively (see Note 29).
4.2.11 Fair Values of Identifiable Assets and Liabilities in a Business Combination

When a business combination occurs, the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed,
including intangible assets, are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The determination of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities is based, to a considerable extent, on
management’s judgment and estimates. The Globe Group selects the most appropriate valuation
methodologies which may include the net present value techniques, comparison to similar assets for
which market observable prices exist and other relevant valuation models. If the purchase consideration
exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired then the difference is recognized as goodwill. If the
purchase price consideration is lower than the fair value of the assets acquired then a gain is recognized
in the consolidated profit or loss.
The final fair values of the net assets of Yondu at the time of acquisition amounted to
₱462.56 million (see Note 14.1).
The final fair values of the net assets of EC Pay at the time of acquisition amounted to
₱417.47 million (see Note 14.2).
4.2.12 Fair Values of Unquoted Equity Securities

When the fair value of an investment in equity security is required to be measured at fair value and the
fair value cannot be derived from active markets, the Globe Group uses valuation techniques including
the discounted cash flow analysis and other relevant valuation models to determine the fair value of the
instrument. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this
is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair value of the instrument and may also affect the consolidated
profit or loss.

The fair value of the Globe Group’s investments in unquoted equity instruments classified as
financial assets at FVOCI amounted to ₱2,137.78 million and ₱1,442.94 million as of December 31,
2019 and 2018, respectively (see Note 16).
4.2.13 Provisions and Contingencies

The Globe Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for
the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with internal and external counsel
handling the Globe Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The
Globe Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated statements of financial position and financial performance. It is possible, however, that future
financial performance could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the
strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 18).
The Globe Group’s provision as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amount to ₱2,622.32 million and
₱2,549.39 million, respectively (see Note 18).

8.1 Derivative Instruments Accounted for as Hedges
The following sections discuss in detail the derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges.
 Currency Swaps and Cross Currency Swaps

The Globe Group entered into cross currency swap contracts and principal only swaps contract to hedge the
foreign exchange and interest rate risk on dollar loans. The cross currency swaps have a notional amount of
USD298.45 million and USD300.00 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Principal
only swaps have a notional amount of USD97.70 million and
USD86.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair values of the currency swaps as
of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to net liability of ₱309.73 million and net asset of ₱2,080.08
million, respectively, of which ₱242.09 million and ₱915.81 million (net of tax), respectively is included
in “Other reserves” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position (see Note
22.6).
 Interest Rate Swaps

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Globe Group has USD77.70 million and USD61.40 million in
notional amount of USD interest rate swap that have been designated as cash flow hedge of interest rate risk
from USD loans. The interest rate swap effectively fixed the benchmark rate of the hedged USD loan at
2% over the duration of the agreement, which involves quarterly payment intervals up to April 2020 and
October 2020 and semi-annual payment intervals up to April 2020.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of the outstanding swap amounted to a net liability of
₱31.93 million and a net asset of ₱47.29 million, respectively, of which ₱22.35 million and ₱33.10
million (net of tax), respectively, is included in “Other reserves” in the equity section of the consolidated
statements of financial position (see Note 22.6).
Swap costs arising from both cross currency and interest rate swaps recognized as financing cost amounted
to ₱366.95 million, ₱220.06 million, and ₱208.74 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Note
27)
8.2 Free Standing Derivatives

Freestanding derivatives that are not designated as hedges consist of currency forwards entered into by the
Globe Group. Fair value changes on these instruments are accounted for directly in consolidated profit or
loss.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Globe Group has USD112.00 million and
USD80.00 million deliverable and non-deliverable currency forward contracts not designated as hedges,
respectively.
8.3 Hedge Effectiveness Results

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the effective fair value changes on the Globe Group’s cash flow
hedges that were deferred in equity amounted to gains of ₱264.44 million and ₱948.92 million, net of tax,
respectively. Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and
2017 are fully effective. Accordingly, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in the consolidated profit or
loss.
The distinction of the results of hedge accounting into “Effective” or “Ineffective” represent designations
based on PFRS 9 and are not necessarily reflective of the economic effectiveness of the instruments.

The Globe Group conducts its annual impairment test of goodwill in the third fiscal quarter of each year. The
Globe Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other
factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment.
For impairment testing purposes, the Globe Group allocated the carrying amount of goodwill arising from the
acquisition of BTI to CGU of mobile communications services or wireless segment. The recoverable amount of
the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections from business plans
covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections was 8.7% in 2019 and
cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 2% long-term growth rate in 2019. No
impairment loss on goodwill from acquisition of BTI was recognized in 2019 and 2018.
CREATE.WONDERFUL 64

The Globe Group has determined that the recoverable amount calculations are most sensitive to changes in
assumptions on gross margins, discount rates, market share, and growth rates.
In 2018, management determined that the recoverable amount of goodwill related to the acquisition of TAO
and Socialytics are less than its carrying value. Accordingly, the Globe Group recognized impairment loss
amounting to ₱140.40 million and ₱2.39 million, respectively (see Note 28).
No impairment loss on intangible assets was recognized in 2019. The management believes that any
reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the
aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU.

Business Combinations
14.1 Investment in Yondu

On September 11, 2019, Globe Telecom reacquired 51% of the outstanding shares of Yondu, which increased
its controlling interest to 100%, for a total amount of ₱501.25 million. Globe Telecom remeasured its
previously held interest in Yondu based on its acquisition-date fair value which resulted to a remeasurement
loss of ₱470.65 million (see Notes 21.4 and 28). The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a
subsidiary. Globe Telecom’s acquisition of Yondu is in line with its strategy to expand its business operations
in the mobile business industry.
Prior to the reacquisition, investment in Yondu was accounted for as an associate (see Note 15.1). Details

14.2 Investment in EC Pay

On October 25, 2019, Globe Telecom acquired 77% of equity interest in EC Pay for a total amount of
₱1,540.00 million. EC Pay is a company engaged in the provision of information technology and electronic
commerce related solutions, and operates a multi-tiered platform that offers secure electronic solutions for
various transactions such as load purchases. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a subsidiary.
The Globe Group elected to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the proportionate share of its
interest in the acquiree’s net assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Globe’s acquisition of EC Pay will add value to Globe’s distribution channels, enabling them to offer a suite of
mobile communication products and services via a single platform bringing the company a step closer to its
vision of a digitally-enabled Philippines. The platform would enable small business owners to offer more
mobile communication products and services which in turn would stimulate the e-commerce industry and the
digital economy.

15.2 Investment in AFPI (formerly Automated Fare Collection Service Inc. (AFCS))
On January 30, 2014, following a competitive bidding process, the Department of Transportation and
Communication awarded to AF Consortium, composed of AC Infrastructure Holdings Corp., BPI Card Finance
Corp., Globe Telecom, Inc., Meralco Financial Services, Inc., Metro Pacific Investments Corp., and Smart
Communications, Inc. the rights to design, build and operate the ₱1.72 billion automated fare collection
system. This is a public-private partnership project intended to upgrade and consolidate the fare collection
systems of the three urban rail transit systems which presently serve Metro Manila.
On February 10, 2014, AF Consortium incorporated AFCS, a special purpose company, which will assume the
rights and obligations of the concessionaire. These rights and obligations include the construction and
establishment of systems, infrastructure including implementation, test, acceptance and maintenance plans, and
operate the urban transit system for a period of 10 years.
On March 11, 2015, AFCS amended its corporate name to AFPI.
In 2019 and 2018, Globe Telecom infused additional capital amounting to nil and ₱60.00 million,
respectively.
In 2017, management determined that the recoverable amount of the investment in AFPI is less than the
carrying value. Accordingly, the Globe Group recognized as impairment loss as the difference in
the investment’s recoverable amount and carrying value amounting to ₱286.04 million (see Note 28). No
impairment loss was recognized in 2018 and 2019.
On July 22, 2019, Globe Telecom sold its interest in AFPI to Globe Fintech Innovations (GFI) for a total
consideration of ₱240.00 million which remained outstanding to date (see Note 5). Accordingly, gain on sale
from investment was recognized as other income (see Note 24). The Globe Group’s share in other
comprehensive income previously accumulated in other reserves account amounting to ₱1.1 million was also
reclassified to retained earnings (see Note 22.6).
The Globe Group has no share in any contingent liabilities of any associates as of December 31, 2019 and
2018.
Investment in Joint Ventures
15.3 Investment in VTI, BAHC and BHC

On May 30, 2016, Globe Telecom’s BOD, through its Executive Committee, approved the signing of a Sale
and Purchase Agreement (SPA) and other related definitive agreements for acquisition of 50% equity interest in
the telecommunications business of San Miguel Corporation (SMC), Schutzengel Telecom, Inc. and Grace
Patricia W. Vilchez-Custodio (the “Sellers”; SMC being the major
seller) through their respective subsidiaries namely, VTI, BAHC and BHC, respectively (the Acquirees). The
remaining 50% equity stake in VTI, BAHC and BHC was acquired by Philippine Long Distance Telephone
Company (PLDT) under similar definitive agreements.
VTI owns an equity stake in Liberty Telecom Holdings, Inc. (LIB), a publicly-listed company in the
Philippine Stock Exchange. It also owns, directly and indirectly, equity stakes in various enfranchised
companies, including Bell Telecommunication Philippines, Inc. (Bell Tel), Eastern Telecom Philippines, Inc.
(Eastern Telecom), Cobaltpoint Telecommunication, Inc (formerly Express Telecom, Inc.), and Tori Spectrum
Telecom, Inc., among others.
CREATE.WONDERFUL 72

The acquisition provided Globe Telecom an access to certain frequencies assigned to Bell Tel in the 700 Mhz,
900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, 2300 Mhz and 2500 Mhz bands through a co-use arrangement approved by the NTC on
May 27, 2016. NTC's approval is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions including roll-out of telecom
infrastructure covering at least 90% of the cities and municipalities in three years to address the growing
demand for broadband infrastructure and internet access.
The memorandum of agreement between Globe and PLDT provides for both parties to pool resources and share
in the profits and losses of the companies on a 50%-50% basis with a view to being financially self-sufficient
and able to operate or borrow funds without recourse to the parties.
The Globe Group invested ₱51.2 million of additional capital in 2018.
15.4 Investment in GFI/Mynt

Prior to September 27, 2017, GCVHI holds 100% ownership interest in GFI and accordingly, GFI’s financial
position and financial performance are included in the Globe Group’s consolidated financial statements.
GFI/Mynt is engaged in purchasing, subscribing, owning, holding and assigning real and personal property,
shares of stock and other securities. GFI has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fuse, which operates as a lending
company.
Loss of control on investment in GFI/Mynt

As disclosed in Note 1, on February 17, 2017, Globe Telecom and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, GFI and
GCVHI entered into an investment agreement with Alipay and Ayala for Alipay and Ayala to invest in the
unissued common shares of GFI. PCC released through a memo its affirmative decision on the Alipay
acquisition of GFI shares, resulting in the dilution of GCVHI ownership in GFI.
On September 27, 2017, following the approval from PCC, GFI/Mynt received the capital infusion from Alipay
and Ayala amounting to ₱2,784.60 million in exchange for GFI/Mynt’s 513.00 million common shares. The
issuance of shares to Alipay and Ayala diluted GCVHI’s ownership interest to 45% and resulted in a loss of
control in GFI/Mynt. Thereafter, investment in GFI/Mynt was accounted for as a joint arrangement since no
single party controls the arrangement and approvals of all parties are required for business decisions.
Total net assets of GFI/Mynt as of the date of loss of control amounted to ₱388.40 million. The fair value of the
retained interest in GFI/Mynt held by GCVHI amounted to ₱2,278.30 million at the date of loss of control. The
gain on fair value of retained equity interest in GFI/Mynt amounting to
₱1,889.90 million, was presented as “Gain on fair value of retained interest” in the consolidated profit or loss
in 2017. Net cash outflow from deconsolidation amounted to ₱1,246.97 million.
In 2019, the Globe Group made an additional investment to GFI/ Mynt amounting to ₱3,292.50 million.
15.5 Investment in TechGlobal

interest of 49% and 51%, respectively. TechGlobal started commercial operations in August 2017.

₱104.83 million, respectively.
29.2 Pension Plan

The Globe Group has a funded, noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans (“the Plan”) covering
substantially all of its regular employees. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation on the last
year of employment.
The group retirement plan covering Globe Telecom and Innove is managed and administered by a Board of
Trustees (BOT) whose members are unanimously appointed by the Globe Group acting through its BOD. The
BOT are authorized to appoint one or more fund managers to hold, invest and reinvest the assets of the Plan
and execute an Investment Agreement with the said fund managers.
CREATE.WONDERFUL 94

The BOT sets the investment policies and limits of the Plan, and appoints fund managers to assist in the
investment management of the Plan. The objective of the portfolio is capital preservation by earning higher
than regular deposit rates over a long period given a small degree of risk on principal interest.
Asset - liability matching strategies

The investment policy in managing liquidity is to have sufficient liquidity at all times to meet the Plan’s
maturing liabilities, including benefit payments to qualified employees who are expected to avail of their
retirement benefits when due, without incurring unnecessary funding costs. The investment policy is also geared
towards maintaining highly saleable government securities as a significant part of the plan investment portfolio
even as other private securities and unquoted securities provided higher yields.
The Plan’s liquidity risk is managed on a daily basis by the Plan’s investment managers in accordance with the
policies and procedures duly approved by the BOT. The Plan’s overall liquidity position for the year is
monitored on a regular basis by the BOT.
Funding policy
The plan should have at least 100% solvency all levels at all times. If a solvency deficiency exists, the deficit
must be immediately funded.
Risks associated with the Plan

The retirement plan typically expose the participants to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk,
longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference
to government bond yields; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest rate risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially
offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life
expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation
were carried out at December 31, 2019 by an Independent Actuary. The present value of the defined benefit
obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit
credit method.

Rate of return +10.00% 2,005

There were no changes from the previous period in the methods and assumptions used in preparing sensitivity
analysis.
The objective of the plan’s portfolio is capital preservation by earning higher than regular deposit rates over a
long period given a small degree of risk on principal and interest. Asset purchases and sales are determined by
the plan’s investment managers, who have been given discretionary authority to manage the distribution of
assets to achieve the plan’s investment objectives. The compliance with target asset allocations and
composition of the investment portfolio is monitored by the BOT on a regular basis.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit
obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of
the assumptions may be correlated.
In presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been
calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that
applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
The plan contributions are based on the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits and fair value of
plan assets are determined using an independent actuarial valuation.
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period is
16.73 years and 15.17 years in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

32 Capital and Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments

The Globe Group adopts an expanded corporate governance approach in managing its business risks. An
Enterprise Risk Management Policy was developed to systematically view the risks and to provide a better
understanding of the different risks that could threaten the achievement of the Globe Group’s mission, vision,
strategies, and goals, and to provide emphasis on how management and employees play a vital role in achieving
the Globe Group’s mission of transforming and enriching lives through communications.
The policies are not intended to eliminate risk but to manage it in such a way that opportunities to create value
for the stakeholders are achieved. The Globe Group risk management takes place in the context of the normal
business processes such as strategic planning, business planning, operational and support processes.
The application of these policies is the responsibility of the BOD through the Chief Executive Officer. The
Chief Finance Officer and concurrent Chief Risk Officer champion oversees the entire risk management
function. Risk owners have been identified for each risk and they are responsible for coordinating and
continuously improving risk strategies, processes and measures on an enterprise- wide basis in accordance
with established business objectives.

The risks are managed through the delegation of management and financial authority and individual
accountability as documented in employment contracts, consultancy contracts, letters of authority, letters of
appointment, performance planning and evaluation forms, key result areas, terms of reference and other policies
that provide guidelines for managing specific risks arising from the Globe Group’s business operations and
environment.
The Globe Group continues to monitor and manage its financial risk exposures according to its BOD
approved policies.
The succeeding discussion focuses on Globe Group’s capital and financial risk management.
32.1 Capital Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Capital represents equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company.
The primary objective of the Globe Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit
rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value.
The Globe Group monitors its use of capital using leverage ratios, such as debt to total capitalization and
makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and its financial position. The ratio of debt
to total capitalization for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was at 67% and 66%, respectively.
The Globe Group is not subject to regulatory imposed capital requirements.
The Globe Group’s loan agreements include compliance with certain ratios (see Note 19).
32.2 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Globe Group’s main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are market risk, credit risk and
liquidity risk. Globe Telecom’s BOD is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the
policies for managing each of these risks. The Globe Group’s risk management policies are summarized
below:
32.2.1 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. The Globe Group is mainly exposed to two types of market risk: interest rate risk and
currency risk.
The Group seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge these
risk exposures. The Globe Group uses a combination of natural hedges and derivative hedging to manage its
foreign exchange exposure as discussed in Note 8. It uses interest rate derivatives to reduce earnings volatility
related to interest rate movements, and principal only swaps to hedge the foreign exchange risk exposure to
principal repayments on USD debt.
It is the Globe Group’s policy to ensure that capabilities exist for active but conservative management of its
foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The Globe Group does not engage in any speculative derivative
transactions. Authorized derivative instruments include currency forward contracts, currency swap contracts,
interest rate swap contracts and currency option contracts.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of pension,
provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operation

The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:
 The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market
risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of December 31, 2019 and 2018
including the effect of hedge accounting.
 The sensitivity of equity is calculated by considering the effect of any associated cash flow hedges for the
effects of the assumed changes in the underlying.
 The assumed changes in market rates applied in the sensitivity analyses were based on historical
information and may not necessarily reflect the actual movements that may occur in the future periods.
32.2.1.1 Interest Rate Risk

The Globe Group’s exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Globe
Group’s long-term debt obligations.
Globe Group’s policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt, targeting a ratio
of between 31%-62% fixed rate USD debt to total USD debt, and between 44%-88% fixed rate PHP debt to
total PHP debt. To manage this mix in a cost-efficient manner, the Globe Group enters into interest rate swaps,
in which Globe Group agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
After taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, the ratio of loans with fixed interest rates to total
loans are as follows:
2019 2018
USD fixed rate loans 57% 42%
PHP fixed rate loans 85% 87%
The loans receivable from related parties are subject to fixed interest rates and therefore not exposed to market
interest rate risk.
Due the short term maturities of cash and cash equivalents, its exposure to interest rate risk is not considered
to be significant.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity of income before tax to and equity a reasonably possible
change in interest rates after the impact of hedge accounting, with all other variables held constant.

32.2.1.2 Foreign Exchange Risk

The Globe Group’s foreign exchange risk results primarily from movements of the PHP against the USD with
respect to USD-denominated financial assets, USD-denominated financial liabilities and certain USD-
denominated revenues. Majority of revenues are generated in PHP, while substantially all of capital
expenditures are in USD. In addition, 16.33% and 15.88% of debt as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, are denominated in USD before taking into account any swap and hedges.

The movement in equity arises from changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments
designated as cash flow hedges.
The Globe Group’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to maintain a hedged financial position,
after taking into account expected USD flows from operations and financing transactions. The Globe Group
enters into short-term foreign currency forwards and long-term foreign currency swap contracts in order to
achieve this target.

Credit Risk Management

Credit exposures from subscribers are managed closely by the Credit, Billing and Risk Management of the
Globe Group. Applications for postpaid service are subjected to standard credit evaluation and verification
procedures. The Credit, Billing and Risk Management of the Globe Group continuously reviews credit policies
and processes and implements various credit actions, depending on assessed risks, to minimize credit exposure.
Receivable balances of postpaid subscribers are being monitored on a regular basis and appropriate credit
treatments are applied at various stages of delinquency.
Likewise, net receivable balances from carriers of traffic are also being monitored and subjected to
appropriate actions to manage credit risk.
The Globe Group analyzes its subscribers’ receivables and contract assets based on internal credit risk rating.

The Globe Group’s credit risk rating comprises the following categories:
 High quality accounts are accounts considered to be of good quality, have consistently exhibited good
paying habits, and are unlikely to miss payments. High quality accounts primarily
include strong corporate and consumer accounts with whom the Globe Group has excellent payment
experience.
 Medium quality accounts are accounts that exhibited good paying habits but may require minimal
monitoring with the objective of moving accounts to high quality rating. Medium quality accounts
primarily include subscribers whose creditworthiness can be moderately affected by adverse changes in
economic and financial conditions, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the subscriber to fulfill its
obligations. It includes customers with whom the Globe Group has limited experience and therefore,
creditworthiness needs to be further established over time.
 Low quality accounts are accounts which exhibit characteristics that are identified to have increased
likelihood to miss payments. Low quality accounts are subject to closer monitoring and scrutiny with the
objective of managing risk and moving accounts to improved rating category. It primarily includes mass
consumer, corporate and SME customers whose creditworthiness are easily affected by adverse changes
in economic and financial conditions.
 Terminated accounts are accounts in cancelled status. Although there is a possibility that terminated
accounts may still be collected by exhausting collection efforts, the probability of recovery has
significantly deteriorated.

With respect to receivables from related parties, the exposure to credit risk is managed on a group basis.
For investments with banks and other counterparties, the Globe Group has a risk management policy which
allocates investment limits based on counterparty credit rating and credit risk profile. The Globe Group makes a
quarterly assessment of the credit standing of its investment counterparties, and allocates investment limits
based on size, liquidity, profitability, and asset quality. The usage of limits is regularly monitored.
For its derivative counterparties, the Globe Group deals only with counterparty banks with investment grade
ratings and large local banks. Credit ratings of derivative counterparties are reviewed quarterly.

The Globe Group makes use of master netting agreements with counterparties with whom a significant volume
of transactions are undertaken. Such arrangements provide for single net settlement of all financial instruments
covered by the agreements in the event of default on any one contract. Master netting arrangements do not
normally result in an offset of balance sheet assets and liabilities unless certain conditions for offsetting under
PAS 32 apply.
Although master netting arrangements may significantly reduce credit risk, it should be noted that:
 Credit risk is eliminated only to the extent that amounts due to the same counterparty will be settled
after the assets are realized; and
 The extent to which overall credit risk is reduced may change substantially within a short period because
the exposure is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement and fluctuations in market factors.

The following discussions are methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value.
33.3.1 Non-Derivative Financial Instrument

The fair value of loans receivable from related parties was estimated based on the present value of all future
cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument. The resulting fair
value of loans receivable from related parties approximates the carrying amount.
The fair value of investments in equity securities are based on quoted prices of similar instruments.
For variable rate financial instruments that reprice every three months, the carrying value approximates the
fair value because of recent and regular repricing based on current market rates.
For variable rate financial instruments that reprice every six months, the fair value is determined by
discounting the principal amount plus the next interest payment using the prevailing market rate for the period
up to the next repricing date. The discount rate used is 1.9302% for USD floating loans.
For noninterest bearing obligations, the fair value was estimated as the present value of all future cash flows
discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument.

33.3.2 Derivative Instrument

The fair value of freestanding and embedded forward exchange contracts is calculated by using the interest
rate parity concept.
The fair values of interest rate swaps and cross currency swap transactions are determined using valuation
techniques with inputs and assumptions that are based on market observable data and conditions and reflect
appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make for credit and liquidity risks existing at the end
each of reporting period. The fair value of interest rate swap transactions is the net present value of the estimated
future cash flows. The fair values of currency and cross currency swap transactions are determined based on
changes in the term structure of interest rates of each currency and the spot rate.
The fair values were tested to determine the impact of credit valuation adjustments. However, the impact is
immaterial given that the Globe Group deals its derivatives with large foreign and local banks with very
minimal risk of default.
33.3.3 Fair Value Hierarchy

The following tables provide the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Globe Group’s assets and liabilities:

The Globe Group’s reportable segments consist of: (1) mobile communications services; and
(2) wireline communication services; which the Globe Group operates and manages as strategic business units
and organize by products and services. The Globe Group presents its various operating segments based on

Most of the Globe Group’s revenues are derived from operations within the Philippines, hence, the Globe Group does
not present geographical information required by PFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Globe Group does not have a
single customer that will meet the 10% reporting criteria.
The Globe Group also presents the different product types that are included in the report that is regularly
reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing the operating segments performance.
Segment assets and liabilities are not measures used by the chief operating decision maker since the assets and
liabilities are managed on a group basis.

35 Agreements and Commitments
35.1 Agreements and Commitments with Other Carriers

Globe Telecom, Innove and BTI have existing international telecommunications service agreements with
various foreign administrations and interconnection agreements with local telecommunications companies for
their various services. Globe Telecom also has international roaming agreements with other foreign
operators, which allow its subscribers access to foreign networks. The agreements provide for sharing of toll
revenues derived from the mutual use of telecommunication networks.
The interconnect costs for the period 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to ₱3.982.87 million,
₱5,677.38 million and ₱7,852.34 million, respectively.
Net traffic settlement receivables amounted to ₱1,904.98 million and ₱2,868.40 million while net traffic
settlement payables amounted to ₱993.03 million and ₱1,102.41 million as of December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively (see Notes 6 and 17).
35.2 Arrangements and Commitments with Suppliers

The Globe Group has entered into agreements with various suppliers for the development or construction,
delivery and installation of property and equipment. Under the terms of these agreements, advance payments
and down payments are made to suppliers upon submission of required documentation. While the development
or construction is in progress, project costs are accrued based on the project status. Billings are based on the
progress of the development or construction and advance payments are being applied proportionately to the
milestone billings. When development or construction and installation are completed and the property and
equipment is ready for service, the value of unbilled but delivered goods or services from the related purchase
orders is accrued.
The accrued project costs as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 included in the “Trade payables and accrued
expenses” account in the consolidated statements of financial position amounted to
₱12,558.73 million and ₱19,172.96 million , respectively (see Note 17). The settlement of these liabilities is
dependent on the payment terms and project milestones agreed with the suppliers and contractors. As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the unapplied advances made to suppliers and contractors relating to purchase
orders issued amounted to ₱10,449.60 million and ₱9,459.24 million, respectively (see Note 10).
35.3 Network Sharing Arrangement with ABS-CBN Convergence Inc.

On May 27, 2013, Globe Telecom, Innove and ABS-CBN Convergence Inc. (ABS-C) entered into a network
sharing arrangement to provide capacity and coverage for new mobile telephony, data and value-added
services to be offered by ABS-C nationwide to its subscribers using shared network and interconnect assets of
the parties.
This arrangement will enable Globe Telecom, Innove and ABS-C to improve public service by enhancing
utility, capacity, inter-operability and quality of mobile and local exchange telephone and data services to the
public and allow ABS-C to modernize its existing service and expand to a retail base on top of its existing
subscriber base.
On May 31, 2013, NTC approved the network sharing agreement and co-use of the number blocks assigned
to Globe Telecom.
On November 30, 2018, ABS-C discontinued its mobile phone services business and terminated the mobile
network sharing arrangement with Globe Telecom.

35.4 Agreements with Huawei International, Pte. Ltd., Huawei Technology Co. Ltd and Huawei
Technology Phils.
In 2014, Globe Telecom and Innove engaged Huawei for a period of ten (10) years to perform the design,
engineering, manufacture, assembly and delivery of certain equipment and all its ancillary equipment and
related software and documentation, and to provide services, including subsequent training and technical
support, in an end-to-end full-turn key outcome based technical solution. Globe Telecom’s payments to Huawei

movies or other forms of content to its subscribers. The agreement also provides for the Globe Group to provide
advertising and/or promotions support at certain agreed amounts.
In consideration of the agreements, Globe agreed to pay royalty or service fees based on its net revenues
or active subscribers.
36 Contingencies
The Globe Group is contingently liable for various claims arising in the ordinary conduct of business and certain tax
assessments which are either pending decision by the courts or are being contested, the outcome of which are not
presently determinable. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the possibility of outflow of economic
resources to settle the contingent liability is remote.
Interconnection Charge for Short Messaging Service
On October 10, 2011, the NTC issued Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 02-10-2011 titled Interconnection Charge
for Short Messaging Service requiring all public telecommunication entities to reduce their interconnection charge to
each other from ₱0.35 to ₱0.15 per text, which Globe Telecom complied as early as November 2011. On
December 11, 2011, the NTC One Stop Public Assistance Center (OSPAC) filed a complaint against Globe
Telecom, Smart and Digitel alleging violation of the said MC No. 02-10-2011 and asking for the reduction of SMS
off-net retail price from P1.00 to P0.80 per text. Globe Telecom filed its response maintaining the position that the
reduction of the SMS interconnection charges does not automatically translate to a reduction in the SMS retail
charge per text.
On November 20, 2012, the NTC rendered a decision directing Globe Telecom to:
 Reduce its regular SMS retail rate from P1.00 to not more than ₱0.80;
 Refund/reimburse its subscribers the excess charge of ₱0.20; and
 Pay a fine of ₱200.00 per day from December 1, 2011 until date of compliance.
On May 7, 2014, NTC denied the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) filed by Globe Telecom last December 5,
2012 in relation to the November 20, 2012 decision. Globe Telecom’s assessment is that Globe Telecom is in
compliance with the NTC Memorandum Circular No. 02-10-2011. On June 9, 2014,
Globe Telecom filed petition for review of the NTC decision and resolution with the Court of Appeals (CA).
The CA granted the petition in a resolution dated September 3, 2014 by issuing a 60-day temporary restraining order
on the implementation of Memorandum Circular 02-10-2011 by the NTC. On October 15, 2014, Globe Telecom
posted a surety bond to compensate for possible damages as directed by the CA.

On June 27, 2016, the CA rendered a decision reversing the NTC’s abovementioned decision and resolution
requiring telecommunications companies to cut their SMS rates and return the excess amount paid by subscribers.
The CA said that the NTC order was baseless as there is no showing that the reduction in the SMS rate is mandated
under MC No. 02-10-2011; there is no showing, either that the present P1.00 per text rate is unreasonable and unjust,
as this was not mandated under the memorandum. Moreover, under the NTC’s own MC No. 02-05-2008, SMS is a
value added service (VAS) whose rates are deregulated. The respective motions for reconsideration filed by NTC
and that of intervenor Bayan Muna Party List (Bayan Muna) Representatives Neri Javier Colmenares and Carlos
Isagani Zarate were both denied.
The NTC thus elevated the CA’s ruling to the Supreme Court (SC) via a Petition for Review on Certiorari dated
September 15, 2017.
For its part, Bayan Muna filed its own Petition for Review on Certiorari of the CA’s Decision. On January 4, 2018,
Globe received a copy of the SC’s Resolution dated November 6, 2017, requiring it to comment on said petition of
Bayan Muna. Subsequently, on February 21, 2018, Globe received a copy of the SC’s Resolution dated December
13, 2017 consolidating the Petitions for Review filed by Bayan Muna and NTC, and requiring Globe to file its
comment on the petition for review filed by NTC. Thus, on April 2, 2018, Globe filed its Consolidated Comment on
both Bayan Muna and the NTC’s petitions for review. On September 18, 2018, Globe received a copy of Bayan
Muna’s Consolidated Reply to Globe’s Consolidated Comment and Digitel and Smart’s Comment.
Globe Telecom believes that it did not violate NTC MC No. 02-10-2011 when it did not reduce its SMS retail rate
from Php 1.00 to Php 0.80 per text, and hence, would not be obligated to refund its subscribers. However, if it is
ultimately decided by the Supreme Court (in case an appeal is taken thereto by the NTC from the adverse resolution
of the CA) that Globe Telecom is not compliant with said circular, Globe may be contingently liable to refund to its
subscribers the ₱0.20 difference (between ₱1.00 and ₱0.80 per text) reckoned from November 20, 2012 until said
decision by the SC becomes final and executory.
Management does not have an estimate of the potential claims currently.
Guidelines on Unit of Billing of Mobile Voice Service

On July 23, 2009, the NTC issued NTC MC No. 05-07-2009 (Guidelines on Unit of Billing of Mobile Voice
Service). The MC provides that the maximum unit of billing for the Cellular Mobile Telephone System (CMTS)
whether postpaid or prepaid shall be six (6) seconds per pulse. The rate for the first two (2) pulses, or equivalent if
lower period per pulse is used, may be higher than the succeeding pulses to recover the cost of the call set-up.
Subscribers may still opt to be billed on a one (1) minute per pulse basis or to subscribe to unlimited service
offerings or any service offerings if they actively and knowingly enroll in the scheme.
On December 28, 2010, the Court of Appeals (CA) rendered its decision declaring null and void and reversing the
decisions of the NTC in the rates applications cases for having been issued in violation of Globe Telecom and the
other carriers’ constitutional and statutory right to due process. However, while the decision is in Globe Telecom’s
favor, there is a provision in the decision that NTC did not violate the right of petitioners to due process when it
declared via circular that the per pulse billing scheme shall be the default.
On January 21, 2011, Globe Telecom and two other telecom carriers, filed their respective Motions for Partial
Reconsideration (MPR) on the pronouncement that “the Per Pulse Billing Scheme shall be the default”. The
petitioners and the NTC filed their respective Motion for Reconsideration, which were all denied by the CA on
January 19, 2012.

On March 12, 2012, Globe and Innove elevated to the SC the questioned portions of the Decision and Resolution of
the CA dated December 28, 2010 and its Resolution dated January 19, 2012. The other service providers, as well as
the NTC, filed their own petitions for review. The adverse parties have filed their comments on each other’s
petitions, as well as their replies to each other’s comments. Parties were required to file their respective Memoranda
and Globe filed its Memorandum on May 25, 2018. The case is now submitted for resolution.
Right of Innove to Render Services and Build Telecommunications Infrastructure in BGC

 PLDT and its affiliate, Bonifacio Communications Corporation (BCC) and Innove and Globe Telecom are in
litigation over the right of Innove to render services and build telecommunications infrastructure in the Bonifacio
Global City (BGC). In the case filed by Innove before the NTC against BCC, PLDT and the Fort Bonifacio
Development Corporation (FBDC), the NTC has issued a Cease and Desist Order preventing BCC from
performing further acts to interfere with Innove’s installations in the BGC.
On January 21, 2011, BCC and PLDT filed with the CA a Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition against the
NTC, et al. seeking to annul the Order of the NTC dated October 28, 2008 directing BCC, PLDT and FBDC to
comply with the provisions of NTC MC 05-05-02 and to cease and desist from performing further acts that will
prevent Innove from implementing and providing telecommunications services in the Fort Bonifacio Global City
pursuant to the authorization granted by the NTC. On April 25, 2011, Innove Communications, filed its comment
on the Petition.
On August 16, 2011, the CA ruled that the petition against Innove and the NTC lacked merit, holding that
neither BCC nor PLDT could claim the exclusive right to install telecommunications infrastructure and
providing telecommunications services within the BGC. Thus, the CA denied the petition and dismissed the
case. PLDT and BCC filed their motions for reconsideration thereto, which the CA denied.
On July 6, 2012, PLDT and BCC assailed the CA’s rulings via a petition for review on certiorari with the
Supreme Court. Innove and Globe filed their comment on said petition on January 14, 2013, to which said
petitioners filed their reply on May 21, 2013. The case remains pending with the SC.
 In a case filed by BCC against FBDC, Globe Telecom, and Innove before the RTC of Pasig, which case sought
to enjoin Innove from making any further installations in the BGC and claimed damages from all the parties for
the breach of the exclusivity of BCC in the area, the court did not issue a TRO and has instead scheduled several
hearings on the case. The defendants filed their respective motions to dismiss the complaint on the grounds of
forum shopping and lack of jurisdiction, among others. On March 30, 2012, the RTC of Pasig, as prayed for,
dismissed the complaint on the aforesaid grounds. The motion for reconsideration filed by BCC on July 20, 2012
remains pending with the trial court.
Acquisition by Globe Telecom and PLDT of the Entire Issued and Outstanding Shares of VTI
In a letter dated June 7, 2016 issued by Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) to Globe Telecom, PLDT,
SMC and VTI regarding the Joint Notice filed by the aforementioned parties on May 30, 2016, disclosing the
acquisition by Globe Telecom and PLDT of the entire issued and outstanding shares of VTI, the PCC claims that the
Notice was deficient in form and substance and concludes that the acquisition cannot be claimed to be deemed
approved.

On June 10, 2016, Globe Telecom formally responded to the letter reiterating that the Notice, which sets forth the
salient terms and conditions of the transaction, was filed pursuant to and in accordance with MC No. l6-002 issued by
the PCC. MC No. 16-002 provides that before the implementing rules and regulations for RA No. 10667 (the
Philippine Competition Act of 2015) come into full force and effect, upon filing with the PCC of a notice in which
the salient terms and conditions of an acquisition are set forth, the transaction is deemed approved by the PCC and as
such, it may no longer be challenged. Further, Globe Telecom clarified in its letter that the supposed deficiency in
form and substance of the Notice is not a ground to prevent the transaction from being deemed approved. The only
exception to the rule that a transaction is deemed approved is when a notice contains false material information. In
this regard, Globe Telecom stated that the Notice does not contain any false information.
On June 17, 2016, Globe Telecom received a copy of the second letter issued by PCC stating that
notwithstanding the position of Globe Telecom, it was ruling that the transaction was still subject for review.
On July 12, 2016, Globe Telecom asked the CA to stop the government's anti-trust body from reviewing the
acquisition of SMC's telecommunications business. Globe Telecom maintains the position that the deal was approved
after Globe Telecom notified the PCC of the transaction and that the anti-trust body violated its own rules by
insisting on a review. On the same day, Globe Telecom filed a Petition for Mandamus, Certiorari and Prohibition
against the PCC, docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 146538. On July 25, 2016, the CA, through its 6th Division issued a
resolution denying Globe Telecom’s application for TRO and injunction against PCC’s review of the transaction. In
the same resolution, however, the CA required the PCC to comment on Globe Telecom's petition for certiorari and
mandamus within 10 days from receipt thereof. The PCC filed said comment on August 8, 2016. In said comment,
the PCC prayed that the ₱70.00 billion deal between PLDT-Globe Telecom and San Miguel be declared void for
PLDT and Globe Telecom’s alleged failure to comply with the requirements of the Philippine Competition Act of
2015. The PCC also prayed that the CA direct Globe Telecom to: cease and desist from further implementing its co-
acquisition of the San Miguel telecommunications assets; undo all acts consummated pursuant to said acquisition;
and pay the appropriate administrative penalties that may be imposed by the PCC under the Philippine Competition
Act for the illegal consummation of the subject acquisition. The case remains pending with the CA.
Meanwhile, PLDT filed a similar petition with the CA, docketed as CA G.R. SP No. 146528, which was raffled off
to its 12th Division. On August 26, 2016, PLDT secured a TRO from said court. Thereafter, Globe Telecom’s petition
was consolidated with that of PLDT, before the 12th Division. The consolidation effectively extended the benefit of
PLDT’s TRO to Globe Telecom. The parties were required to submit their respective Memoranda, after which, the
case shall be deemed submitted for resolution.
On February 17, 2017, the CA issued a Resolution denying PCC’s Motion for Reconsideration dated September 14,
2016 for lack of merit. In the same Resolution, the Court granted PLDT’s Urgent Motion for the Issuance of a Gag
Order and ordered the PCC to remove the offending publication from its website and also to obey the sub judice rule
and refrain from making any further public pronouncements regarding the transaction while the case remains
pending. The Court also reminded the other parties, PLDT and Globe, to likewise observe the sub judice rule. For
this purpose, the Court issued its gag order admonishing all the parties “to refrain, cease and desist from issuing
public comments and statements that would violate the sub judice rule and subject them to indirect contempt of
court. The parties were also required to comment within ten days from receipt of the Resolution, on the Motion for
Leave to Intervene, and Admit the Petition-in Intervention dated February 7, 2017 filed by Citizenwatch, a non-stock
and non- profit association.

On April 18, 2017, PCC filed a petition before the SC docketed as G.R. No. 230798, to lift the CA's order that has
prevented the review of the sale of San Miguel Corp.'s telecommunications unit to PLDT Inc. and Globe Telecom.
On April 25, 2017, Globe filed before the SC a Motion for Intervention with Motion to Dismiss the petition filed
by the PCC.
As of June 30, 2017, the SC did not issue any TRO on the PCC's petition to lift the injunction issued by the CA.
Hence, the PCC remains barred from reviewing the SMC deal.
On July 26, 2017, Globe received the SC en banc Resolution granting Globe's Extremely Urgent Motion to
Intervene. In the same Resolution, the Supreme Court treated as Comment, Globe's Motion to Dismiss with
Opposition Ad Cautelam to PCC's Application for the Issuance of a Writ of Preliminary Injunction and/or TRO.
On August 31, 2017, Globe received another Resolution of the SC en banc, requiring the PCC to file a Consolidated
Reply to the Comments respectively filed by Globe and PLDT, within ten (10) days from notice. Globe has yet to
receive the Consolidated Reply of PCC since the latter requested for extension of time to file the same.
In the meantime, in a Decision dated October 18, 2017, the CA, in CA-G.R. SP No. 146528 and CA-G.R. SP No.
146538, granted Globe and PLDTs Petition to permanently enjoin and prohibiting PCC from reviewing the
acquisition and compelling the PCC to recognize the same as deemed approved. PCC elevated the case to the SC
via Petition for Review on Certiorari.
Co-use of frequencies by PLDT/Smart and Globe Telecom as a result of the acquisition of controlling shares in VTI
On January 21, 2019, Globe filed its Comment to a petition filed by lawyers Joseph Lemuel Baligod and
Ferdinand Tecson before the Supreme Court, against the NTC, PCC, Liberty Broadcasting Network, Inc., (LBNI),
Bell Telecommunications Inc. (BellTel), Globe, PLDT and Smart, docketed as G.R. No. 242353. The petition
sought to, among others, enjoin PLDT/Smart and Globe from co-using the frequencies assigned to LBII and
BellTel in view of alleged irregularities in NTC’s assignment of these frequencies to these entities. In its
Comment, Globe argued that the frequencies were assigned in accordance with existing procedures prescribed by
law and that to prevent the use of the frequencies will only result to its being idle and unutilized. Moreover, in
view of the substantial investments made by Globe, for the use of these frequencies, enjoining its use will cause
grave and irreparable injury not only to Globe but to subscribers who will be deprived of the benefits of fast and
reliable telecommunications services. The other Respondents have likewise filed their respective Comments to the
petition.
37 NTC Regulation
On February 8, 2019, the RA 11202 or the “Mobile Number Portability Act” was signed into law. The act
