Catching Our Breath

by Jan

We here at the aryty.com team can hardly believe it’s almost time to break out our Halloween costumes and turkey roasters! Fall definitely crept up on us this year, but maybe that’s because our summer was filled with weekend after weekend of fun Filipino fiestas. From the Pinoy Musik Festival in Secaucus, New Jersey, to the Fiesta Filipina in San Francisco, to the U.S.-Philippines expo in Pomona, and back again to Secaucus for the Philippine Fiesta in America, we’ve been giving Filipinos all over the U.S. of A. lots of fast and easy ways to get free load for a Philippines phone. We also had a blast with some of the Philippines’ top celebrities. Check out the Aryty photos of Charice Pempengco, Marian Rivera, Bea Alonzo, and Ding Dong Dantes. And if you’re someone that made it to a celebrity autograph and photo session, chances are you’ll catch a glimpse of yourself in some of these shots!

But that’s not all. Back at the aryty.com home front our industrious team of engineers and designers have been hard at work on the Aryty Philippines site. That’s right - yet another terrific way for all our kababayan in the Philippines to get free Globe, Smart, or Sun load.

The William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan and the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise at Cornell University are pleased to host Business with Four Billion: Creating Mutual Value at the Base of the Pyramid. This conference will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on September 9-11 and is sponsored by the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

The conference builds on the growing global interest in enterprise-based strategies for serving the four billion poor at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). We expect to bring together the leading BoP business managers, policy makers, social entrepreneurs, academics, non-profit experts, and development agency professionals.

The conference will feature plenary sessions by leading BoP experts that delve into each of these three topics, as well as concurrent sessions that provide an opportunity for participants to engage cutting-edge thinkers on specific issues.

I have been invited to speak on a panel Monday morning the 10th about Aryty. If you plan on attending the event and would like to get together please drop me email (nils.johnson@gorillamobile.com) Hope to see you there.

Great Seeing You at Fiesta Filipina

by Nils

We just got back to New York after spending the weekend in San Francisco at Fiesta Filipina. It was 2 amazing days of food, music and chatting with Aryty customers and friends who stopped by the Aryty booth to say hello. We also gave out Globe promos and free load for Filipinos living in the Bay Area to send to their loved ones in the Philippines.

We will be posting lots of pics and video from the event in the next day for you to check out or leave a comment. Here’s a few of the Aryty team.
