Digital Thumbprint Program

Creating a Safer Online Environment

Being constantly online to study, play, and socialize makes children and young adults more vulnerable to sexual exploitation, abuse, identity theft, and cyberbullying, among many other issues plaguing the internet. It is crucial that we equip them and their guardians with practical knowledge to mitigate online risks.

In 2016, Globe joined forces with Optus and Singtel to launch the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP), helping Filipino youths become responsible online citizens through workshops and e-modules on digital citizenship and online safety. Based on Australia’s Optus Digital Thumbprint in-school program, DTP is now a part of the Department of Education K12 curriculum in public schools.

Words From Our Partners

PLAN International Philippines

"The partnership between Plan International Philippines and Globe Telecom on the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) is a remarkable feat in the field of digital literacy for girls and boys and young women and men. The DTP just came in time when our advocates needed further skills and stronger technological knowledge in thinking critically and engaging safely in the global community. Within a span of a year in cascading DTP, Plan International Philippines, through its Cyber Safe Spaces project, has successfully reached 122 girls and 3,352 men and women in Metro Manila. Remarkably, DTP has empowered our young advocates to employ stronger passwords on their accounts, turn their social media accounts into private, discern what to post and share online, and above all, to thrive in this ever-changing digital world."

Department of Education

"By integrating Digital Citizenship and Responsibility into the K to 12 curriculum, the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) modules will be further developed for inclusion in the values formation subject. This way, all students nationwide will benefit from the lessons on digital citizenship and learn about the responsibilities that come with being online."
