More importantly, we invite the community to try the apps and we listen to their feedback. Together, we are building the future we want to create."

During the press conference, Symph showcased the AI apps developed by its talented team based in Manila. Edson Carreon, our full-stack developer, introduced Grognak, an AI Caveman app that simplifies complex topics for better understanding. This app holds great potential for museums and tech or science-related events, making learning a fun and effortless experience for kids.

Ragan Lamoc, our full-stack developer, demonstrated Fitplanr. It is an AI-powered personal trainer app that generates custom gym programs. By seamlessly integrating with gyms and fitness amenities, Fitplanr empowers both gym-goers and beginners to kickstart their workouts with confidence.

In addition, Jarrhey dela Peña showcased Prompeteer which was developed by Michael Suarez, our AI and Fullstack engineer based in Cebu. Jarrhey personally uses the app daily, which empowers users to create AI-powered chatbots without coding. After Jarrhey demoed the app, media participants were able to create their own AI apps within minutes. Prompeteer offers businesses an opportunity to showcase their brand persona through an AI app, helping customers make informed purchase decisions through engaging conversations.

Psst! Having A Down Day? These Daily Reminders Will Pick Up Your Spirits

In an ideal world, things will always go your way. The MRT will never be late nor packed, you can always buy whatever you want, and you will never gain a pound or two despite indulging your sweet tooth. Alas, an ideal world doesn’t truly exist and our daily reality can sometimes be tougher to navigate than how we hope it to be.

The thing is, experiencing these little bumps doesn’t exactly make life bad. Instead, you can think of them as little bursts of flavor that make your adventure a little bit more interesting! The way that we take pitfalls in stride is what makes the world of difference in how we manage them and so is giving in sometimes to situations instead of fighting them off.

If you need a little refresher that feeling BAD is not really all that BAD, then here are a few daily reminders that will surely turn that frown into a smile.

1. The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude. – Dennis S. Brown

Could this be any more true? It may sound cliche or even too idealistic, but it is how we take and give in to things that change the way we view and feel them.

2. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. -Robert Louis Stevenson

This is the perfect reminder to all of us who can be a little tough on ourselves when we fall short of our expectations. Sometimes you win. Other times you just get to be a step closer to your goal. Both are okay.

3. Sometimes you need those bad days, to help you appreciate the good ones. – Unknown

Read that again. If every day is perfect, then what makes a good day… good? Appreciating your wins is so much sweeter when you’ve experienced losses, too.

4. I am learning to trust the journey even when I do not understand it. – Mila Bron

Not ultimately knowing where you are going or what’s coming next may be one of the most terrifying things in life. But it’s the element of surprise and the way that we enjoy the ride that makes life all the more special.

5. If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Yes, flavor. All the limitations we put on ourselves to make sure everything goes our way are the roadblocks that can make life black and white. Live truly and honestly by going through flavors. Bitter, sweet, or both, all are important in the great recipe of life.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to just ‘give in?' When you feel like the day is tougher than usual, tap on your inner child and remember how you used to handle your big emotions. For a lot of us, it is simply allowing ourselves to FEEL. That, or a bite or two of simply good ice cream.

The next time you are feeling down, get yourself your favorite Nestlé Ice Cream cold treat. The leading ice cream brand has never failed to make anyone smile with its quality flavors, one bite of which can turn a bad day into a good one.

Being the true champ that it is, Nestlé Ice Cream is making everyone’s summer extra special with its Great Ice Cream Sale. The promo, which will run until June 30 gives big discounts to cult favorites like Nestlé Temptations (Strawberries & Cream, Almond Brownie Fudge, Double Dutch, Cookies & Cream, Rocky Road, Mocha & Cashew), Nestlé Drumstick (Double Choco Vanilla and Ube Cheesecake), and Nobrelli (Choco-Keso-Ube, Choco-Manga-Ube, Choco-Pandan-Ube). This special treat is available when you buy in all leading supermarkets and Nestlé Ice Cream’s official Lazada store: Ice Cream Party PH.

If that is not a good sign that it is time for you to give yourself a break, then we don’t know what is. After all, ice cream makes everything so much better—though should you really wait for a bad day to have some? Go ahead. Indulge.

Logistics Made Easy with Airspeed: Making It Happen forFour Decades

 

 

Do you want to streamline your logistics operations and improve your bottom line? Are you looking for a freight forwarder or courier service that can get you your parcel quickly and safely? Check out Airspeed. When it comes to logistics, every detail matters with Airspeed. That is why businesses across the Philippines trust Airspeed to get the job done right. 

 

Airspeed is a corporate end-to-end logistics company that has grown steadily in the past 37 years, and intends to remain one of the country's leading logistics providers. Founded by Rosemarie P. Rafael with a six-person workforce in 1985, it has become one of the fastest-growing and most trusted logistics companies in the Philippines.

 

"Airspeed did not even own a cargo weighing scale when the business started. We had to visit the airport and have their clients' parcels weighed to get accurate measurements. But even with those limitations, the team remain determined to make things happen for our clients and stakeholders,” said Chairperson Rosemarie Rafael. Guided by a vision of providing fast and efficient logistics services, Airspeed added other offers like customs clearance, domestic and international deliveries, specialized logistics, warehousing, and e-Commerce fulfillment.

For Airspeed, deliveries are not only delivering parcels and packages. They are helping build businesses and individuals alike. Today, Airspeed has more than a thousand employees, and presence in over ninety countries, and sixteen offices around the Philippines. Its client’s portfolio range from industries such as electronics, manufacturing, food, retail, clothing and garment, etc.

 

Providing connectivity in an archipelago of over 7,000 islands presents a unique challenge for Airspeed. With such a large area and distances, transport can be expensive and time consuming. Airspeed used various modes of transportation to deliver goods safely to their destination -- via air, sea, and land transportation. With this challenge, the company reintroduced RORO (roll-on, roll-off) service for its various clients. Designed to meet the growing demands of the logistics industry, such as bulk items (like transportation parts), medical supplies, and perishable items, all can be transported efficiently via RoRo. 

 

With the expansion of its domestic footprint, Airspeed now serves 78 provinces, 124 cities, 1,067 municipalities, and 35,527 barangays as part of its commitment to serve all clients. They now have 58 agents up to date. Customers can access more resources, extend their reach, and expand their businesses through these developments.

 

At present, Airspeed is gearing up to incorporate innovations, practices, and technologies into its operations. Through the opening of retail hubs across the country, it has extended its services beyond logistics. The company is also present on digital platforms through its gifting service, on-demand delivery service, and eCommerce Fulfillment that cater to clients with customers who are always on the go.

 

“We need to be innovative and creative and listen very closely to the pulse of the market to meet the changing needs,” added by Airspeed Chairperson Rosemarie P. Rafael.

 

As part of its newest partnership with Light Rail Manila Corporation, Airspeed bring its newest and most convenient contactless delivery option in the country - Popbox. This smart locker provides self-collection, and is convenient, flexible, and saves time for end users. It is initially located in 19 stations of the LRT-1, gearing to expand to more locations soon. 

 

Under the Amazing Philippines Digital Economy Corp., the business unit focusing on the SME services and digital platforms, Airspeed has several projects launched during the pandemic. Kahanga- hanga PH is a proud Pinoy digital platform that houses Filipino products. Through Speedgifts, Airspeed’s digital gifting platform is designed to take your business globally. The newest online platform – Pinaspeed.com offers a Pinabilis na booking, pinabilis nadelivery, and pinabilis na pag-asenso for Airspeed clients. This can help businesses to avoid the hassle of looking for a reliable logistics partner in delivering their goods.
