Globe Platinum invited recently its clients to savor something meaningful.

Gastronome Giving, the much-anticipated signature dining series, was back with even more heart. For two months until Aug. 31, Gastronome Giving, a partnership between Globe Platinum and the Fine Dining Club Philippines, brought together some of the country's most celebrated chefs and destination restaurants in support of a singular mission: fighting involuntary hunger through the Hapag Movement.

Each seat at the table helped bring meals and sustainable livelihood to Filipino families in need. Globe's Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications officer Yoly Crisanto said, "Gastronome Giving is purpose on a plate. It's a beautiful reminder that what nourishes us is also an opportunity to nourish others."

Head of Globe Platinum Mark Pasaylo shared, "Our customers value experiences that are not only rare and refined, but also resonate with their values. With Gastronome Giving, we're giving them a chance to enjoy exquisite cuisine while directly supporting families through the Hapag Movement. It's fine dining with soul."
