This will be a special year at the Philippine Fiesta in New Jersey, August 18th and 19th. I am excited to announce that Beau Canlas from MYX will be joining Aryty at the event to meet with guests and even take time for photo opportunities!
I met Beau while visiting Manila last spring. This Virginia naitive is a rising star on the MYX network in the Philippines and already is hosting 2 shows on MYX stateside! Beau’s positive energy and charisma cannot be ignored but most of all this Fil-Am’s pride in his heritage truly shines through!
Check out Beau!
Make sure to stop by the Aryty booth this weekend and say hello to Beau!
Last Saturday, Karla Maquiling of Pinoy Centric assisted in arranging a lunch for us at the Shangri-La Hotel to present Aryty to a number of pro bloggers in Manila. It turned out to be nothing less than the perfect venue to exchange ideas and share more about Aryty with top Filipino bloggers “in the know” about the latest trends, technology and cultural issues taking place in the Philippines.
The influential blogging crew (a.k.a. BoB) included Jayvee Fernandez, Sasha Manuel, Gail dela Cruz Villanueva, Annalyn Jusay, Markku Seguerra, Ederic Eder, Mike Villar, Aileen Apolo and J. Angelo Racoma. I was also happy to see my friend Veronica Bartolome who just happened to be in Manila and made time to join us.
While it was nice to demonstrate how easy it is to buy Globe, Smart or Sun eload and discuss some of our future plans for Aryty the part I enjoyed the most was getting feedback and suggestions from the group. What a great opportunity to avail insight from some of the brightest in blogsphere! Conversation included subjects parang G-Cash, Smart Money, online loading, sari sari’s, OFW’s, remittances, new Aryty features and plenty about Globe, Smart and Sun loading habits.

No Name Cafe Next Time?

There’s lot of talk lately about mobile banking and remittance services. The Philippines is one of the countries leading innovation in this area. Globe Telecom’s G-Cash and Smart’s Smart Padala are two great examples.
Millions of OFW’s around the world send money and load back home. These new mobile remittance services promise to make it cheaper and easier than ever for Filipino’s to help their loved one’s all at the speed of text. Take a look at this video about Globe’s award winning G-Cash and microfinance.
