Airspeed’s Future Soars Higher on the Back of Female Power

Since its establishment in 1985, Airspeed has endeavored to provide the highest quality of logistics services to customers across the globe and aspired to bring forth rewarding, growth-oriented opportunities to its stakeholders. For more than 36 years, Airspeed has strived, invested, innovated, improved, and evolved to become one of the largest, most trusted, and most successful logistics solutions and express courier companies in the Philippines.

Airspeed’s success story is worth telling at this time when the whole world continues to celebrate International Women’s Month. That’s because Airspeed was founded by Rosemarie P. Rafael, a visionary woman who broke stereotypes in a male-dominated corporate world in the 1980s.

As Airspeed’s Chairman and President, Rosemarie established and formed Airspeed to reflect her own values as a woman, a mother, and a leader. Being a true advocate of women, 66% of Airspeed’s senior management team are females.

Mrs. Rafael is proud to say that the women of Airspeed play a big role in elevating the company to its current stature. She explains: 

“They are there when needed and face whatever challenges they encounter. They are fearless -- they step up to the needs of stakeholders with a “can do” attitude. The women of Airspeed are trustworthy, dependable, devoted, relentless and nurturing and that they have a good combination of toughness to withstand the challenges, and a heart to serve our stakeholders.”

Mrs. Rafael recalls her own way of dealing with the challenges she faced in the male-dominated logistics industry by saying “I do not go head-to-head with men and work in such a way that will make them wonder what happened. The men in the industry when I started, underestimated women as it is a norm that men dominate this industry and women are just followers. One has to work doubly hard to be able to prove that they can do it. The ultimate acceptance I received was when I was elected as the first woman president of the Air Cargo Forwarders Association in the 90s.”

Mrs. Rafael has come a long way since then. Just recently, Mrs. Rafael was chosen as the new President of the Women’s Business Council Philippines, Inc. (WomenBizPH). Serving as the platform to discuss women’s issues in business and possible government policies and solutions, WomenBizPH is the lead private sector partner of the government, particularly the Department of Trade and Industry and the Philippine Commission on Women, and represents the Philippines in APEC and ASEAN events.

And there’s no stopping Mrs. Rafael. Despite new challenges brought about by the entry of international companies in the Philippines who have the funding to expand and dominate, Airspeed forges on by being innovative. And as the economy begins its road to economic resurgence, she shares that Airspeed is currently increasing coverage without having to be all over at the same time – and choosing strategic areas where we need to be. We continue to look for better ways to make our operations seamless, building on the foundation that we have established 36 years ago. We are unstoppable.”

It is quite fitting to learn during International Women’s month that the success of a major logistics company like Airspeed stems primarily from the vision, guidance, and leadership of a woman. Mrs. Rafael has shown and proven that in a male-dominated corporate world, a woman can break through traditional norms, gain acceptance, promote change, and achieve so much for the benefit of society as a whole. Rosemarie P. Rafael should serve as an inspiration to every woman or man who wishes to achieve success and make a difference. Airspeed is truly proud to say that its future soars higher on the back of female power.

Faulty wiring, kitchen fires, illegal LPG: 2022 fire incidents call for stronger fire prevention measures this month

Solane LPG urges the public to be vigilant and alert about keeping their loved ones safe and protected in their homes

A recent report by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) caused alarm among the general public – fire incidents jumped by almost 13% compared to the same period last year, mostly caused by faulty electrical wiring. As March brings in the annual Fire Prevention Awareness campaign spearheaded by the BFP, the private sector amplifies government efforts by eliminating causes of tragic accidents from the source.

Solane LPG, the country’s leading LPG brand, has led 9 raids so far in different areas of the country from the beginning of the year to fight against dangerous, substandard, and illegal LPGs that may cause fires and explosions in unsuspecting households.

To date, 124 counterfeit Solane tanks, along with marked money, transaction receipts, fake plastic seals and other items, have been confiscated in Metro Manila, Camarines Norte, Cagayan, Sorsogon and Quirino.

BFP constantly reminds consumers to buy authentic LPG tanks from authorized dealers to prevent explosions and fire-related incidents. While this may be tricky for some, Solane has made it easy for the public to be sure that their purchase is verified Solane with three simple markers: the weight, the markings and the valve of its tanks.

Authentic filled LPG tanks’ weight corresponds to the total of its indicated tare weight and LPG content. To ensure such, Solane performs the ‘Timbang Challenge.’ Solane also ensures quality markings on its tanks, including the registered brand name and trademark of manufacturer, standard used and test dates, serial or code number, ‘Made in the Philippines’ mark, tare weight and LPG content, and expiry date. Lastly, genuine Solane LPG tanks come with a safety cap and seal with a serial number for verification

Since January of this year, there have already been numerous LPG-related fire incidents reported in different parts of the country, from Metro Manila and surrounding cities to provincial areas of Cebu and Bacolod. Whether commercial or residential space, life and property will always be at risk if products used are not properly checked or difficult to use.

“At Solane, fire prevention is a quality we uphold every single day, not just in March,” emphasized Valeri Villano, Marketing Manager. “There’s a lot of work that go into our tanks and into our products because we value the trust that customers place in our brand. They welcome us into their homes, and they are sure that we keep their homes, their businesses, and everyone safe at all times.

“The danger happens when customers choose the wrong product.”

Moreover, Solane’s AS valve (de salpak) so has a snap-on auto-shutoff feature that brings human error down to a minimum.

“With everything that our customers have to deal with on a daily basis, we’ve made sure that our Solane tanks are always safe to use so it doesn’t have to add to the stress they experience everyday,” said Villano. “So much has changed in the past two years, including who goes into the kitchen and how often people use the kitchen. It’s our job to make sure that Solane remains easy to use any time of the day.”

Get Back on Track After Flu and Other Ailments

Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) is available in drugstores nationwide and via major e-commerce platforms

Flu is definitely bad news, especially when you have to worry about the ongoing pandemic along with it. There is always the possibility that the symptoms you are feeling could be signs of COVID-19.

This only means one thing: When you are experiencing flu symptoms, you need to address them right away with the right steps and the right medication, so you can get back on track.

The flu is a contagious infection caused by the influenza virus. It is usually accompanied by a cough or cold, and its symptoms could last from two to three days to about a week. These symptoms include clogged nose, sneezing, runny nose, headaches and body aches, fever. Having the flu can leave you feeling tired and restless the whole day, if not for several days. When you have the flu, it’s likely that you will need a bed to alleviate its symptoms.

Leaving your flu untreated could lead to more severe symptoms and a longer recovery time from the illness.

To recover from the flu immediately, you will need to stay home and rest until your symptoms are better. This also prevents you from spreading it; it is important to stay away from children and the elderly as they are more susceptible to the flu’s more severe symptoms.

Constant hydration is also the key to recovering from the flu. You will also need to eat healthy foods during your bout with the illness, even if you have no appetite for it because of your condition.

Taking the right medication to treat your flu can also fast-track your way to recovery—like Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU), a multi-benefit solution to flu symptoms.

Unlike other medications that deal with only one or two symptoms brought about by the flu, Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) can address several flu-related ailments at once. It helps relieve clogged noses, sneezing, and runny nose and treats headaches, body aches, and fever. It is also formulated to relieve symptoms of other related ailments such as sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. This makes the product a valuable multi-purpose medication for every Filipino household.

Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) can also be taken to relieve side effects brought about by the COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots. Common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine include fever, cough, tiredness, headache, body aches and pains—symptoms that the medicine is meant to treat.

At PHP7.50 SRP per tablet, it is also one of the most affordable multi-purpose flu solutions in the market today.

It’s always good to keep medications at home so you can easily bounce back from the symptoms of flu and return to your healthy, lively, productive self.

HANA TAJIMA FOR UNIQLO 2022 Spring/Summer Dress Collection Launching on April 22

 

“An Expression Emerges”

Manila, Philippines - Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the HANA TAJIMA FOR UNIQLO 2022 Spring/Summer Dress Collection on April 22. This unique LifeWear collection from New York-based fashion designer Hana Tajima features comfortable and elegant designs that reflect cultural diversity with a global perspective. This season presents a collection of new dresses that highlight the individuality and expression of each woman when wearing a single garment.

Commenting on the latest collection, Hana Tajima said, “This collection was really an expression of joy and hope. I wanted to create a sense of ease and playfulness. A dress should be the simplest thing in the world to wear. A single garment that is a look in itself, bold and iconic. The subtle details and fabric texture come to life on the body, move with it. The prints and colors embody that feeling of vitality.”

The first Hana Tajima dress collection for UNIQLO

The HANA TAJIMA FOR UNIQLO 2022 Spring/Summer collection, embodying a simple and iconic style, is the first Hana Tajima dress lineup for UNIQLO. These simple and adaptable dresses are suitable for both everyday wear or special occasions, with playful and innovative details to delight women every time they put one on, while providing everyday comfort.

Simple and effortless designs that accentuate the individuality of the wearer

The vibrant colors of this collection include deep blue and green inspired by nature. Striking dresses in fabric treated with salt shrinking for greater density and a puffed sleeve design retain a delicate form with lightweight material. Elegant camisole dresses with flowing hemlines can be paired with shirts or blouses to express the wearer’s individuality. Large stoles that can be worn over the shoulders feature garden flower patterns to accent any outfit.
