Airborne Technologies Launches New Perfect for Outdoor Fun Power Bank and Boom Box

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Most gadget makers will try to make their products as affordable as possible thus sacrificing quality and performance. I was actually surprised that one company dares to meet the popular demand for on-the-go sources of power for portable devices with power bank products that comes in many stylish designs, stunning features and affordable prices. They came out with quite a number of designs to choose from during their launch more than a moth ago, and I still could not forget that impressive power bank with a 24,000 mAh capacity that has enough juice to power a laptop and quite a number of other devices.

Airborne Technologies is quite new in the business since they have just been around sometime January of 2014, yet they have quite a promising array of products that surpasses the common varieties available in most gadget and computer peripheral stores. They even recruited professional wake-boarder Simon Cantos, as their brand ambassador, to show how determined they are to make an identity as the ideal gadget provider for even the most rugged user with sporty and athletic lifestyles.

They recently made a formal launch of a power bank that looks like it just came out from a sci-fi movie. But the spectacular design doesn't end there when you find out that its waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof.

Yes! I've seen how they immersed it under water for several minutes, how they let it fall several feet from the floor, and Airborne Technologies General Manager Jason Ching even said I can have a car drive over it. Oh, Boy! This power bank is so tough that is why they chose to name it the AT-800 Tough Rock

Easy Taxi: Celebrating its First Year Anniversary

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Easy Taxi is celebrating its first year of operations in the Philippines, and what better way to celebrate it but with their beloved taxi operators, drivers, partners, friends, and members of the media.

At their first year anniversary celebration held at the Luxent Hotel located in Timog Avenue Quezon City, Easy Taxi presented its company performance review that strongly established their presence in the Philippines as still the number one taxi booking app in the country. It also honored their top drivers like Policarpio Isla and Jiomedez Castilla who had an opportunity to talk on stage. The top taxi fleets were also awarded that day.

Regional Managing Director Mario Berta emphasized that they are the biggest in the world and is very successful in the country. They are constantly growing that they nearly open in one country every other month. They want to deliver a seamless experience everywhere in the world that you can use their app everywhere you go, including other countries like Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, Papua New Guinea, and all the other countries possible. They have even received a $40 M funding recently, added to the previous $25 M and $10 M, making a total of $75 M of funding.

Partnering with mall operator Megaworld, they will soon have three dedicated Easy Taxi locations at Lucky Chinatown Mall, Venice Piazza and Eastwood.

They are currently operating in Manila and Cebu, and soon in Davao. Eventhough there are several requests to have their service at places like Pampanga, Cagayan De Oro and other destinations, it's a little bit difficult right now for them. But maybe soon when the demand for their service really grows in a stunning size, they'll give in to the request of the commuters.

They also have new products like the Easy Taxi Corporate where they will be selling to the major corporations in the country which is a great opportunity for the drivers who will soon have corporate accounts. Corporations as long as you can guarantee safety for their employees are very happy to pay you premium. There might also be bonus tips along the way if you really satisfied the customers. Thus, the drivers will make more money per ride.

There is also Easy Taxi Concierge at selected establishments where they would have their own employees booking taxis for the guests to deliver the best customer experience ever. This is essential for those passengers who are not familiar or hesitant in using the Easy Taxi app in booking taxis.

The Gryffindor Taxi

Incidentally, we had an amazing opportunity to ride an Easy Taxi cab immediately after the event on our way to our next event located at Resorts World Manila.

Easy Taxi picked us up from the Luxent Hotel and delivered us to Resorts World in just around 30 minutes. Wow! That was, I think, a super fast journey. We were fortunate that there was no traffic jam at around 2 pm, and made our way safely to Resorts World thanks to the driver of Gryffindor taxi with license plate number UWM 431. The taxi driver is Saplad Yaris. We got the information from the Easy Taxi operator who was also calling and checking on us via mobile phone. She was sending us all the details through our mobile phones like the license plate, name and even the mobile number of driver.

Also, beginning August 4 until September 4, Easy Taxi will be implementing a Zero Booking Fee promo. This means we only need to pay the metered bill which means a lot of savings per ride.

Easy Taxi is part of the Asia Pacific Internet Group (APIG). The Asia Pacific Internet Group supports some of the leading internet companies in the region. Founded by Rocket Internet in 2014, the APIG's mission is to promote innovation and entrepreneurship throughout Asia and the Pacific and to support the development of a vibrant online culture. APIG's network currently consists of 10 companies, which are operating in 15 countries.

Easy Taxi's mission since day one is to revolutionize the country's transportation system. No more manually hailing taxi cabs for everyone. Easy Taxi wants to modernize the way we commuters get their rides using the most convenient way possible just like in other countries that are already maximizing the use of the app.

Congratulations to Easy Taxi for a great year in the country, and since they have plenty of "oxygen" to run their operations, there will be no surprise if they remain to be the top taxi booking app in the country, and even the world. I am excited about the other promising plans to improve their services as they partner with more companies in order to deliver their promise for the best customer experience.

Watch out for further announcements as there are really more fascinating news coming our way thanks to Easy Taxi.

Energizer Night Race 2014: Fun Run Filled with PositivEnergy at Filinvest City Alabang

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The night of September 6, 2014 will be filled with lights coming from every individual who will be wearing Energizer's clip-on LED headlights. It will definitely be a race for a brighter world at Filinvest City Alabang since it is expected to attract thousands of runners coming from all walks of life. The Energizer Night Race 2014 will be phenomenally better and bigger as compared to last year's fun run.

At a press conference held last August 1, 2014 at the 23rd Floor Hanston Square, 17 San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, members of the media were informed of the unique Energizer Night Race 2014 fun run where 3,000 target participants are expected to join.

President and Managing Director of Energizer Philippines Todd Montgomerie was present at the event and had the following statements to share: "Energizer's thrust is to increasingly engage consumers through a lot of community-based marketing events. This events takes a great deal of organization and planning to make it happen. Furthermore, to make them successful they take a great deal of local promotion and awareness. So in that line, I really would like to thank you all for coming today and to taking your time out to help us promote this very positive event."

I am proud that they have constantly mentioned bloggers as among the highly influential means of disseminating information about the race since everyone has accepted the fact that online is really more viral as compared to word of mouth nowadays since most of us have smartphones already that can allow us to share the event with others through social media right at that very time of the conference.
