Globe Telecom supports this year’s tourney as part of the company’s CSR program “Football Para Sa Bayan,” a grassroots campaign which advocates football as a tool to transform the lives of underprivileged children through by encouraging athletic excellence and providing educational opportunities.
At the helm of Globe’s Football Para Sa Bayan campaign is Chieffy Caligdong, Green Archers United left winger and vice-captain of the Philippine Azkals. Here is a video of Chieffy coming home and giving back to his hometown Iloilo.
In addition, Globe is also donating football training equipment to FutKal FC, the beneficiary of the Adobo Cup. FutKal is a non-profit organization that promotes football in the Philippines at the grassroots level. This year’s proceeds will go to FutKal’s Field of Hope initiative to help rebuild the lives of Typhoon Haiyan survivors.

I have not watched the world cup. I don't understand the soccer. I love that many people are engaged in the same activity, though.
and here I am taking advantage of World Cup fever by shopping late at nights, the malls are deserted.
I will catch the ball fever next week. just happy reading all the satire stems from it =)
I haven't watch a single soccer match; I know nothing about that sport. But it is still good to hear that those players do enjoy what they're doing. :)
I'm not a fan of football :( Argentina and Brazil lang ang alam ko na team na magaling sa World Cup. I like Globe's initiative to really change the life of Filipino children like those na nasa poor community.
It's funny how soccer (football for the rest of you) can bring countries together. Go USA!
That is a great cause. I love that they are donating the equipment.
As an American we are more in to our football than soccer. I listened and cleaned the house while my husband watched the Americans (lose) this weekend.
That is awesome.. it is for such a great cause!! I like the world cup and watch it whenever i catch it.
Adobo cup! That's fantastic! lol! Love the name! I do like what this is all about, especially as it's for the children.
