So it came to pass!
The first Big Data Conference in the Philippines has ended. The conference is akin to the velocity of big data. It passed like a blur but it leaves a lot of questions and opportunities.
Here is the video recap. We will see you next year for a bigger and deeper discussion of Big Data.

iPlus Intelligent Network, Inc., the
managed I.T. services firm of ePLDT led a host of thought leaders in the first
ever Data Conference at the Crowne Plaza in Ortigas Center.
A first leg of what is envisioned as an annual
gathering of the Philippine business sectors’ thought leaders, iPlus’ workforce
and management integration systems head, Mr. Junie Aguirre, familiarized a
diverse crowd of executives from various industries with the concept of big
data and the relevance of the burgeoning aptitude to curate, analyze, store,
share, and use large chunks of data to achieve business goals in the
information age.
As the integration of business with
information technology continues to flourish, Aguirre said that “data is
becoming a key basis of competition underpinning new waves of productivity,
growth such as hard assets and human capital, innovation and modern economic
activity.” In the various aspects of an organization’s operations, data
requires analytics for any value to be driven out of it. Telecom companies need
sufficient data to gauge mobile phone usage of their consumers and ultimately
map out strategies that could give their subscribers improved or better user
experience.
With technology and the dizzying changes
that force companies how they do business, knowing how to accurately capture,
store, analyze, and share definitely enables operational efficiency and
flexibility to face imminent challenges.

Being blessed
with the country’s longest yuletide season or the
fun in the Philippines gaining global recognition, but all roads at this early
seem to lead to the SMX Convention Center Manila for an International Travel
Festival come December 10-11.
And
International Travel Festival is
certain to emerge, with worldwide service provider Amadeus and the British,
Turkish and European chambers of commerce setting the pace for the influx of
other Manila and foreign-based global exhibitors in the event.
This
Christmas gathering of global tourism players is matched only by the
convergence of their similarly increasing number of local counterparts at the
festival led by the various regional
offices of the Department of Tourism nationwide and its attached agency Tourism
Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority.
The
local exhibitors include tourism destinations in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao –
from Cagayan Valley in the North to Palawan in the West, all the way to South
Cotabato, Cotabato City, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City in
Region 12.
Thus,
the nation is bound to see a vast cosmopolitan crowd whirling around the scene
of the International Travel Festival (ITF) 2013, now covering, not only what
used to be a solely inbound promotional event dubbed “Travel Philippines Show”,
but also outbound travel named “Euro-AmeriAsian Travel, Trade & Cultural
Expo.”
“ So expect both inbound and outbound
tourism destinations featured in the ITF,” said chief executive officer
Mitch Ballesteros of expo organizer Exlink Events.
“The fast growing registration of
participants in the festival affirms the global tourism industry’s increasing momentum
for sustained growth, with vacationing OFWs (overseas Filipinos worldwide) adding
impetus to the phenomenon,” Ballesteros said.
Practically
promoting a genuine two-way tourism traffic, the ITF is seen to contribute
substantially to the continued rise in global tourism, now reportedly worth an
estimated $1.15 trillion from a yearly revenue hike of 1.5 percent over the
past five years.
Ballesteros
said the outbound trips of foreign-based international airlines flying
Filipinos to overseas destinations would also have a beneficial impact on
inbound travel since they would have to promote the Philippines in their home
countries to be able fill up airline seats on their return flights.
“Thus, the net effect of brisk inbound and
outbound travel is a thriving tourism industry that gets a boost from both
ends,” Ballesteros earlier explained, citing tourism’s total contribution of
$6.3 trillion and 255 million jobs to the global economy in 2011 alone.”
To participate
mostly in the ITF, therefore, are numerous exhibitors involved in both inbound
and outbound businesses such as airlines, international hotel and resort chains,
travel agencies, tour operators, MICE (meetings, incentive travel, conventions
and events) organizers, shopping malls and global retail brands.
Also expected to
participate in the ITF on December 10 to 11 are transfers and transport firms,
cruise ships and domestic passenger vessels, telecommunication companies,
destination owners and managers, banks and financial institutions, and the
academe and various service providers, among many others.
More information about the ITF can be obtained from Exlink Events (tel: 632 6433887; mobile: 0920 9242532, 0920 9814376; email: info@exlinkevents.com; or visit www.exlinkevents.com).

A huge chunk of the country’s 12 million overseas Filipinos
worldwide (OFWs) and their relatives are seen to swarm the grandest
business and Christmas expo
designed specifically for their entrepreneurial and investment needs.
Various
organizations of OFWs and their relatives are even participating in the
preparations for the expo by calling on their members to join the growing
number of aspiring and successful entrepreneurs in their ranks.
They are led by the
Global OFW Organization, Kabalikat OFWs Association, and the Ka Entrep
Movement, with the OFW families groups in Pasig, Caloocan , Paranaque ,Rizal and
Navotas, among many others, confirming their participation in this event .
“ They (OFWs and their relatives) are
practically mobilizing their individual and collective resources for investment
in the various business opportunities that will be showcased in the Mega Balikbayan/OFW
Expo 2013 slated at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City
on December 10 to 11, in time for the influx of migrant Filipinos for their
yearly Christmas vacation and homecoming,” said chief executive officer
Mitch Ballesteros of expo organizer Exlink Events.
“They are expected to troop to the expo in
droves that can turn the event into a business and Family Christmas gathering of mega-scale,” Ballesteros said.
The remittances
from those OFWs and migrant Filipinos have soared to over $21 billion with the
continued rise in their number and deployment all over the world.
The OFWs alone, excluding their
families, number to roughly 9.5 million to 12.5 million, or around 10 to 11
percent of the country’s total population, according to POEA data.
Moreover, another
1.7 million OFWs were reportedly awaiting deployment for the first 10 months of
last year, which the POEA said would reflect an 8.6-percent growth year on
year.
Such figures make
the OFWs and their families a powerful economic bloc, whose resources can be
mobilized for investments in the various industry sectors to widen the domestic
capital base and strengthen the country’s resistance against external financial
shocks.
“They
(OFWs) can become exporters and their families export producers, thus keeping
their roles as one of the country’s major dollar earners but, this time, also
as job generators instead of job hunters,” Ballesteros pointed out as an
example.
“The
expo will have almost 200 exhibitors collectively offering a complete
menu of businesses and investment opportunities, training and knowledge
sources, and support services, including property firms for their housing needs
and retail shops for their Christmas requirements,” Ballesteros said.
“Thus,
it will be a festival that celebrates the heroism of our OFWs, or a huge
gathering of Filipinos from all over the world who now have an expo they can
call their own,” Ballesteros stressed.
Now on its 10th year, the expo includes
the OFW Business Summit with
seminars on how
to do business in the Philippines and investment literacy
for OFW’s and
Families and the Outstanding Balikbayan Reputation Awards
(OBRA).
Primarily
constituting the expo are the 1) MEGA
INVEST presenting investment opportunities in various fields such as cars
and automobile , real estate and property, manufacturing, franchising
, support technologies, agri-aqua
business, retail and wholesale , distributorships, service outlets, and many
others; 2) MEGA EXPERIENCE offering various travels and tours
packages , holiday destinations,
health and wellness products and services, food and beverages, and hobbies’
businesses ; and 3) MEGA SHOP for discounted
items, Christmas gifts , souvenir items and regional products.
