We had the rare and awesome opportunity to witness the launch of Globe Business' Globe Telepresence facility. We checked out and was able to IMMERSE ourselves in the Telepresence experience in the Globe Telco Buidling in Asiatown I.T. Park, Cebu City.

Globe Telecom launched its new Globe Telepresence room offered through Globe Business. Globe Business delivers another first with the opening of a full 3-screen Telepresence room in Cebu. This is Globe's 2nd Telepresence facility in the country following the launch of its first Telepresence facility in Makati.
