Check your Net income for Globe. It states only +3% when income went up from 8.6B to 12.5B. Is that correct? Isn’t it supposed to be up 45.35%?

The figure for Globe’s net income is from 8,6B to 9.0B, and not from 8.6B to 12.5B, pls take a look back at the bottom of the infograph

And Globe still wants to add P5.00 additional charge to emergency calls, following the government’s instruction, according to them, yet fighting tooth and nail with the PCC.

In reality, PLDT’s core net income dropped only 6% or just a little over PHP1B. The bulk of the PLDT’s net income drop is due to an investment loss in Germany e-commerce company, Rocket Internet (for non-accountants the loss in Rocket Internet, to which PLDT has stake, was recognized in PLDT’s books. So that using the principle of comparing apple to apple, PLDT net profit was down only 6% and Globe up by 3% (assuming Globes 100% core figures).
