SHIPZY Philippines Enters the Logistics Market With a Vision Beyond Delivery

by Ferry Bayu | Sep 8, 2026 | Business

SHIPZY Philippines is not simply launching another delivery service. It is introducing a connected logistics model designed to help Filipino businesses manage more of their logistics through one technology-enabled partner.

The Filipino-founded logistics company brings international experience and technology together to make moving goods simpler for businesses across the country.

Filipino businesses often have to piece together warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, and delivery through different providers. SHIPZY was built to bring those moving parts together through one technology-enabled logistics platform—giving businesses a simpler way to store, fulfill, move, and track their goods.

“We saw that businesses often spend too much time coordinating different parts of their logistics. We wanted to use technology to bring those pieces together, so they can spend less time managing shipments and more time growing their business.” — Rain Ibajo, SHIPZY PH CEO and CTO

SHIPZY is entering the country’s logistics industry with an ambition that goes beyond traditional delivery.

Founded by a team composed mostly of Filipinas with professional experience across different countries and industries, SHIPZY was built on the belief that technology can make logistics easier to manage, more efficient, and more accessible to Filipino businesses. The founders brought their international experience home with a clear goal: to combine global perspectives with a local understanding of how Filipino businesses operate and build a more connected way to move goods.

Across the country, businesses move different kinds of products in different ways. A farmer may need to get produce from the farm to a buyer. A supplier may need to move products between cities. An SME may need additional space to store inventory and fulfill growing orders. A larger company may require trucks or inter-island transportation.

Despite these different needs, businesses can encounter the same challenges—working with multiple logistics providers, coordinating manually, limited visibility, and processes that become harder to manage as operations grow.

SHIPZY is taking a broader approach by bringing more of the services businesses need together in one place, supported by technology.

One Platform, End-to-End Logistics Journey

Logistics is often associated with the final delivery, but getting a product to its destination involves much more.

Businesses may need warehousing, inventory management, packing, transportation, delivery, and shipment tracking—sometimes through several providers. As operations expand, keeping these moving parts organized can become a challenge in itself.

SHIPZY brings these capabilities together through a broader logistics offering that includes warehousing and inventory management, pick-and-pack fulfillment, parcel and same-day delivery, vehicle booking, inter-island transportation, and specialized logistics solutions.

Its first logistics hub in Silang, Cavite serves as the starting point for SHIPZY‘s planned expansion into Metro Manila and key provinces across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Its transportation services range from motorcycle deliveries to larger vehicles and trucks, giving businesses flexible options based on what they need to move and where it needs to go.

For example, a retailer can store inventory at SHIPZY‘s hub, have orders picked and packed, book transportation, and monitor delivery status through the platform. By connecting these services, SHIPZY gives businesses a clearer view of their logistics activities without having to manage every step separately.

The idea is simple: connect more of the logistics journey so businesses can spend less time coordinating and more time running their operations.

Technology Made Simple

Technology is an important part of SHIPZY‘s approach. For the company, it is meant to make the day-to-day side of logistics easier to manage rather than add another layer of complexity.

SHIPZY is building an integrated logistics platform that brings together the different people involved in a shipment.

Businesses, drivers, and customers can access dedicated portals designed to provide better visibility across logistics activities. For businesses, this can mean managing inventory, arranging fulfillment, booking transportation, and monitoring deliveries through one system.

Technology also plays a role behind the scenes. SHIPZY uses systems for warehouse management, order management, and business account management to streamline its logistics operations. AI is also being integrated into internal processes to make workflows more efficient and support a more connected logistics experience.

“Technology connects the different parts of logistics, while AI helps us make the entire process smarter and more efficient.” — Jam Tolibas, SHIPZY PH CIO

The goal is simple: make shipment management less complicated and give businesses a better view of where things stand at every step.

That approach is particularly relevant in the Philippines, where moving goods can involve long distances, multiple modes of transportation, and an archipelago spread across thousands of islands.

Logistics for Businesses of All Sizes

SHIPZY‘s services are designed to support businesses at different stages, from farmers and individual entrepreneurs to SMEs, suppliers, retailers, and corporate and enterprise organizations.

A small business may need reliable delivery or additional storage without investing in its own logistics infrastructure. As operations grow, those needs can expand to include fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, or more specialized logistics support. Larger organizations may require vehicle and truck bookings, inter-island transportation, distribution support, or specialized logistics projects.

Instead of coordinating with several providers for different parts of the process, businesses can work with one logistics partner for more of the services they need:

Book. Store. Pick and pack. Ship. Track.

SHIPZY‘s growing network of business relationships reflects the range of logistics requirements it is positioning itself to serve—from distribution and retail to automotive and events.

Among its engagements is support for the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) during the 2026 ASEAN Championship–Hyundai Cup, where the Philippine Men’s National Football Team competed against fellow ASEAN national teams. SHIPZY supported the PFF’s logistics requirements over a 10-day period, applying its capabilities in a setting where coordination, timing, and the reliable movement of goods were essential.

The company is also building relationships with businesses including Flowerstore.ph, and Toyota Silang, as it continues to expand its operations and serve logistics needs across different sectors.

Building for What Comes Next

SHIPZY knows it is entering a Philippine logistics market with established players and increasingly sophisticated customer expectations.

Rather than position itself as another delivery company, SHIPZY wants to become a logistics partner that businesses can rely on as their operations expand.

Starting with its first hub in Silang, Cavite, SHIPZY is building its operations and expanding its capabilities as it works toward a wider logistics network across the Philippines.

“Behind every shipment is a business, a customer, or a community counting on us. When Filipino businesses succeed and grow, we believe we grow with them.” — Rovi Camarce, SHIPZY PH President and CFO

For SHIPZY, the ambition goes beyond moving goods from one place to another. It is about helping Filipino businesses grow by removing the complexity from logistics, so they can spend more time focusing on what matters most.

SHIPZY PH. Moving what matters.

How Fast Can You Find Out What Your Land Is Worth? LandValuePH Brings Property Valuation Online

by Ferry Bayu | Sep 3, 2026 | Business

LandValuePH brings technology-driven property valuation online, giving Filipino property owners a faster way to get a data-informed estimate of what their land may be worth. Using 534,000+ BIR zonal-value records, 3,700+ market listings, property characteristics, location factors, comparable-property information, and automated analytics, the platform delivers a valuation starting point in minutes. More than 400 Filipino property owners have already used LandValuePH, and the number continues to grow.

MANILA, August 30, 2026 — For many Filipinos, a piece of land can represent years of savings, an inheritance, a family home, or a major investment. Yet when it comes time to sell, buy, inherit, or evaluate a property, one of the first questions can be difficult to answer quickly: What is this property actually worth?

Overcoming Traditional Barriers to Property Data

Rather than acting merely as a static property database, LandValuePH is designed as a technology-driven solution to the twin challenges of time and access. Determining a property’s value in the Philippines has traditionally meant navigating disparate government records, consulting multiple offline sources, or hiring a professional appraiser and waiting several days for the report to come back. The platform consolidates these steps into a single online workflow, allowing users to obtain a valuation estimate in a matter of minutes.

The tool is built for the full range of Filipinos who need that question answered quickly: families evaluating land inherited from relatives, homeowners considering a sale, buyers researching a property before making an offer, and investors screening potential opportunities. Whether the property is a modest residential lot in the provinces or a high-value parcel in Metro Manila, the same tool applies. Everyday landowners benefit from having clear data at their fingertips — not just institutional investors or wealthy individuals.

A Multi-Layered Approach to Data-Informed Estimates

LandValuePH‘s system goes beyond the common approach of multiplying a Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) zonal value by lot area. At the core is the LVIS™ score — the platform’s proprietary confidence rating that reflects how many comparable market listings are available for a given area, blending BIR zonal data with real listing prices to produce a more grounded estimate than either source alone.

For house-and-lot properties, land and building values are calculated separately: land through the LVIS™ engine, building through a replacement-cost approach that accounts for construction type and depreciation. Property-specific inputs — title status, occupancy, estate or inheritance situation, and physical characteristics of the lot — are then applied through an adjustment grid that adapts the base estimate to the actual property’s condition.

The platform’s creators emphasize that these automated calculations are meant to provide an estimated property value for exploratory and personal planning purposes. The system does not produce a legally recognized professional appraisal, nor does it have endorsement from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). For official transactions — such as banking, litigation, regulatory submissions, or secured lending — a formal appraisal by a PRC-licensed real estate appraiser remains a necessity.

Developing Future Property-Intelligence Capabilities

While the current focus is individual property owners seeking a reliable starting point, LandValuePH is actively developing its property-intelligence layer for professional and business applications. Planned expansions target real estate brokers who need faster valuation workups for listings and clients, developers screening land acquisitions across the Philippines, and financial institutions requiring consistent property data for lending, valuation review, and portfolio analysis.

Ultimately, the platform aims to establish a simple, foundational step for any property transaction in the Philippines: before making a major financial decision about land, owners can quickly discover what the data says — without having to wait days just to get started. To find an estimated property value, visit the platform at Land Value PH.

Indian Yoga School PH Expands Senior Yoga Program as More Older Adults Embrace Active Aging

by Ferry Bayu | Sep 3, 2026 | Business

The growth of Indian Yoga School PH’s senior classes comes as the Philippines’ population continues to age. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s 2024 Census of Population, approximately 11.42 million Filipinos are aged 60 and above, representing 10.2 percent of the household population. Through adapted yoga sessions focused on accessible movement, balance, strength, and participation, Indian Yoga School PH is creating an environment where older adults can remain physically and socially active regardless of their starting ability.

TAYTAY, RIZAL – When the children of an elderly couple enrolled their parents at Indian Yoga School PH, their goal was relatively simple: they wanted Mom and Dad to have something to do.

They were not expecting yoga to become something their parents would eagerly look forward to.

During one of the grandmother’s first sessions, she required continuous assistance while walking and moving around the studio. After several guided sessions, her instructors and family began noticing changes in what she was able to do independently.

She can now sit herself up without assistance, participates more confidently during class, and is consistently excited to return for her next session. The couple has also progressed to walking back to their nearby home after attending class.

Their experience has become one of the stories emerging from Indian Yoga School PH’s growing senior community as the school welcomes more students aged 60 and above.

While the observed changes cannot be attributed solely to yoga and should not be interpreted as medical outcomes, the couple’s experience illustrates something increasingly important as the Philippines’ population ages: giving older adults accessible opportunities to move, participate, and remain engaged.

A Growing Need for Active Aging in the Philippines

The Philippines is gradually becoming an older country.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s 2024 Census of Population, approximately 11.42 million Filipinos are now aged 60 and above. Senior citizens represent 10.2 percent of the country’s household population, compared with 8.5 percent in 2020.

As that population grows, conversations around aging are increasingly expanding beyond longevity to include mobility, functional independence, social participation, and quality of life.

Regular physical activity plays an important role in that conversation.

The World Health Organization recommends that older adults remain physically active and include activities that emphasize functional balance and strength as part of their weekly routines. These activities can contribute to maintaining physical function and reducing the risk of falls and fall-related injuries.

Yoga can incorporate several elements relevant to active aging, including controlled movement, balance, flexibility, breathing, and strength. Importantly for older practitioners, many movements can also be adapted according to an individual’s existing physical ability.

Yoga That Meets Seniors Where They Are

At Indian Yoga School PH, joining a yoga class does not require a senior student to already be flexible, strong, or independently mobile.

The school’s approach to its older practitioners begins with what each student can safely and comfortably do.

Movements may be modified according to mobility, balance, strength, and confidence. For some participants, the starting point may look very different from what people typically imagine when they think of yoga.

The goal is not to achieve complicated poses.

Instead, instructors focus on helping students participate in controlled, appropriate movement while gradually becoming more comfortable using their bodies.

“With our senior students, it isn’t about how deeply they can stretch or whether they can perform a particular pose. We meet them where they are. What has been especially meaningful for us is seeing them become more confident in movement and, just as importantly, genuinely excited to come back to class.”

That excitement has become particularly noticeable among the elderly couple.

What their children initially intended as an activity to occupy their parents’ time has become part of their regular routine.

The grandmother, who once needed consistent assistance while walking during her first sessions, now arrives eager to participate and show her instructors what she can do.

From a Couple to a Growing Senior Community

The couple is no longer an isolated example at Indian Yoga School PH.

As more families learn that the school can accommodate older adults, its group of senior practitioners has continued to grow.

The development has also changed what a yoga community can look like inside the school.

Students of different ages and physical capabilities can participate in a practice traditionally associated with flexibility and athleticism, while instructors adapt sessions around the abilities of the people actually in the room.

For senior students, the benefits of attending class can extend beyond the physical activity itself.

Regular sessions provide structure to the week, an opportunity to leave the house, interaction with instructors and fellow students, and something new to learn and anticipate.

For families, these seemingly small changes can carry significant meaning.

An aging parent sitting up without help, walking farther than before, participating in an activity with their spouse, or simply becoming excited about leaving the house can represent meaningful changes in everyday life.

Changing the Perception of Who Can Practice Yoga

Indian Yoga School PH hopes its growing senior community can also challenge one of the most persistent misconceptions surrounding yoga: that people need to be young, flexible, or physically fit before they can begin.

For older adults in particular, that perception can become a barrier to trying new forms of movement.

The experience of the school’s senior students demonstrates a different starting point.

Some may arrive already active. Others may require assistance with everyday movement. What matters is that the practice is adapted to the individual rather than asking the individual to adapt to a predetermined level of yoga.

The school encourages older adults and their families to consider existing medical conditions, mobility limitations, and individual circumstances before beginning any new physical activity program and to consult an appropriate healthcare professional when necessary.

Movement, Independence, and Something to Look Forward To

The growing senior program at Indian Yoga School PH ultimately reflects a broader definition of active aging.

Progress does not always mean performing increasingly difficult exercises.

For an older adult, progress might mean sitting up independently. It might mean feeling steadier while moving. It might mean being able to walk home with a spouse after class.

And sometimes, it simply means waking up excited because today is yoga day.

For one elderly couple, what began because their children wanted to give them “something to do” has become a shared routine they now look forward to.

For Indian Yoga School PH, their story has also become part of something larger: a growing community showing that starting yoga does not have to come with an age limit.
