Designing intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is progressing. In the early stages, organizations used it to enhance efficiency through automation. In the future, AI will be more about augmenting human ingenuity and creating new value.

Walking barcodes

With facial and body recognition on the rise, we’re leaving trackable personal data cookie trails everywhere we go — not just online. Advances in biometric tech and 5G are creating exciting opportunities for new products and services. As our physical features become increasingly machine-readable — just like human barcodes — brands will design new products and services that are more personalized than ever.

More emphasis on personalized customer service

Your customer is an individual, you need to provide them with customized customer experience. One of the good examples of customized service is Amazon. When you visit your homepage on Amazon, you see product suggestions similar to what you had purchased earlier and not something irrelevant. If you bought kitchenware earlier, you see more kitchenware, books you see more books, your home page is yours, its customized and tuned to your needs.

Robots taking our jobs

Probably the biggest change that is affecting our businesses is how machines are taking over tasks ranging from window cleaning to inventory management. Anyone with a transaction based job or business will be having a forced career change before the end of the decade.

NOVEMBER 2020

The Philippines in general is a multicultural country and it is made evident in this festival held in the Mindanao province of Sultan Kudarat. The goal of the festival is to highlight unity in diversity. As such, a number of tribes such as the Manobo, T’boli and Tiruray come together in an occasion filled with lots of activities such as cultural presentations, street dancing and a sports festival.

NOVEMBER 2020

The idea of parading around these huge effigies representing each of Angono’s barangayswas brought up in the 80s. It stuck and the act of carrying around higantes became tradition held each year during the feast of San Clemente, the patron saint of the town.

OCTOBER 2020

The fiesta is part and bundle of Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, the fiesta must go on. Each city and barrio has at least one local festival of its own, usually on the feast of its patron saint. Some festivals are even held in honor of inanimate things popular or significant to the barrio/city guaranteeing that there’s always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country.

SEPTEMBER 2020

Now, this is a dance festival you can experience with an even greater twist. Banigan-Kawayan Festival is a yearly parade of pageantry that features the town’s best native products — weaved mattresses.

These ethnic products, which keep local businesses afloat, are the main highlights of the cultural performances that involve music, dance, and even stage acting. What was once a relatively obscure festival rose to popularity in 2000 when hundreds of people from the local community paraded a one-metre wide mat, now believed to be the world’s longest one!

SEPTEMBER 2020

It’s finally the start of the “Ber” months, but before we submerge ourselves into our country’s famous long-term “Christmas Season”, we have Philippine festivals to rave about too. Although most local travellers tend to prioritise island-hopping instead of festivals on their bucket list, let’s not forget that our colourful and historical festivals make for memorable and educational experiences as well. Unfortunately, they’ve become undervalued in this day and age, so we thought we’d give you a review of what festivals to look out for per month. I won’t keep you waiting. Here’s a rundown of Philippine Festivals in September you’ve got to attend!
