"With this recognition, we can proudly say that each and every one of the millions of Globe mySUPERPLAN customers in the Philippines are users of the most innovative telecom product in Asia," shared Sazon. "We thank Telecom Asia Awards for this recognition, which further inspires us to offer more innovative, customer-centric and world-class postpaid services for Filipinos around the world".

Through Globe mySUPERPLAN, Globe Postpaid has set a new record with double-digit growth in both revenue and market shares in 2012. Postpaid revenues ending 2012 rose to P22.8 billion, a significant 24% growth from P18.5 billion from last year's levels, translating to a 56.2% postpaid revenue share in the country's mobile postpaid business.

This is a remarkable 19% growth from about 1.5 million in 2011, achieving subscriber base share of 43.5% in 2012.
