This partnership with Brastel gives us an opportunity to offer good quality calls, superior rates and a widely-accessible reloadable card product available in 44,000 outlets across the country,” added Globe SVP for International Business Rizza Maniego-Eala.

Through our partnership with Globe, we are delighted to enable stronger connections between overseas Filipinos in Japan and their family and friends back home,” noted Brastel CEO Wilson Kendal Kawai.

The Globe-Brastel card is available for free at Filipino stores across the Land of the Rising Sun.
