Lamoiyan Corporation is expanding. Currently, at the heart of its base along the highway in Parañaque, this brick-and-mortar development is visual proof of market growth. Flexing muscle, Lamoiyan enters 2025 bigger and with more brands awaiting market roll out.

Lamoiyan is in the good hands of Joel Conrad Pedro, its new CEO. The warehouse expansion addresses the demands of progress while emphasizing the need for sustainability.

Says Joel, “The past couple of years after the pandemic has shown a big surge in terms of market demand for products with value for value for money that our trademark household brands deliver coupled with robust retail alliances and government partnerships has seen Lamoiyan growing in both categories and business channels. While erecting physical storage may be the ultimate proof of business growth, Lamoiyan’s expansion includes forays into new channels like data-based new product development based on consumer need.

Four decades in the market sees Lamoiyan competing on level field with global giants. Exporting to SEA, APAC and MENA, local business and global reach provide good reason to expand its warehouse and increase in inventory.

Joel is quick to clarify that, “The Philippines is still primarily the market, so we are looking at gaps for what type of products we should enter. The new channels we're getting into are cosmetic lines but still focusing on quality and good value for money.”

Already, the company awaiting the arrival of new machines for manufacturing new product categories. Technology and innovation are part and parcel of business strategy in the age of digital, and Lamoiyan prides itself in understanding the impact of digital supply chain models on the business.

Leveraging on the growing potential of online platforms and eCommerce, Lamoiyan aims to logistically serve client on-ground or online, big retail or sari-sari stores still mainly through its distributor network. The warehouse functions as homecourt to properly store the new product lines and house the new process with the new equipment.

Joel explains, “The other part of having a bigger facility is to be able to logistically serve all the clients that includes online platforms. The warehouse is catered towards being able to add a future line, and a development for putting in new machines for us to manufacture other categories that might be useful for that next expansion.”

Lamoiyan’s warehouse expansion is in the natural progression of business. Currently the warehouse is nearing full capacity. While the expansion is primarily to address current demand, forecast of new product lines—cosmetics, perhaps?—the warehouse will be more than prepared for lush returns.

Local Manufacturing Brand Expands Warehouse, to Launch New Product Lines

During her speech at the 18th Annual General Assembly of the Philippine Federation of Local Councils of Women (PFLCW), she encouraged women leaders to strive for uplifting lives within their respective organizations.

A cornerstone of Tham’s presentation was the role of technology in driving social change. With a vision to revolutionize the informal motorcycle taxi industry known as ‘habal-habal’, the ride-hailing app Angkas has been instrumental in providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation for Filipinos.

However, Tham said that Angkas’ ambitions go beyond improving transportation. The platform has provided marginalized individuals with training, support, and tools to become professional motorcycle taxi drivers, she said.

Through this approach, Tham said that Angkas has created opportunities for entrepreneurship, enabling individuals to uplift their families and escape the cycle of poverty.

“We were successful not because we launched a ride-hailing app… we became the no. 1 motorcycle taxi app by fostering trust and connection with our bikers,” Tham said. “My challenge to you is to dig deeper into problems and address the real needs of those we serve, making a lasting, positive change.”

Senator Cynthia Villar also spoke at the event, stressing the importance of narrowing the gender digital divide in the country. Villar warned of a growing shortage of skilled workers due to this gap, calling the matter urgent as almost 90% of jobs will require digital skills by 2025.

In response to Villar’s remarks, Tham advocated for the use of technology as an empowering tool for businesses and communities. She highlighted the success of Angkas in creating a supportive environment where skill and hard work are the primary factors for prosperity.

“You shouldn’t have to be exceptional to earn a decent living or simply provide for your family,” Tham said. “Let’s create one million jobs, transform lives, and make our nation stronger.”

Angkas, through its innovative use of technology and inclusive initiatives, continues to empower and inspire Filipinos, demonstrating the transformative power women wield in the transport and technology sectors.

Angkas breaks new ground for women in tech, transport, says founder

MANILA, Philippines — International Container Terminal Services, Inc. saw its bottom-line grow in the first quarter on the back of its port business and ancillary revenues.

In a disclosure sent to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Monday, the Razon-led company reported its net income improved 9% year-on-year to $154.61 million from January to March.

Revenues from port operations inched up 8% to $572.25 million on-year in the first quarter. The company cited a host of factors that contributed to the uptick in its haul, such as tariff adjustments, ancillary services revenues, and lower pandemic-related expenses.

Despite this, ICTSI’s financials were tempered by struggles across different port operations around the world. This was the case in its operations in Pakistan and Australia, as trade activities weakened in the first quarter.

Figures broken down showed ICTSI managed a consolidated volume of 3.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units, which grew 9% on-year in the first quarter. Its Manila North Harbour Port Inc. contributed to the uptrend, since the company consolidated operations last September 2022.&nbsp;

Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization advanced 5% on-year to $354.2 million in the first quarter.&nbsp;

Capital expenditures, which excluded borrowing costs, hit $87.69 million in the first quarter.&nbsp;

“These results have been driven by our diversified portfolio and continued focus on margins, and they have been achieved against a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop,” said Enrique Razon Jr., company&nbsp;chairman and president.&nbsp;
