The regional office market across the Philippines saw significant improvement in 1H 2024, driven by ongoing development and the completion of numerous buildings. The Visayas office market, in particular, demonstrated strong growth, led by Iloilo’s addition of 105,200 sq m of office space with Cebu set to surpass this by 2025. While cities like Bacolod and Davao are experiencing positive momentum, Metro Cebu and Metro Clark faced slowdowns due to limited supply. Rental rates in Iloilo and Bacolod have dropped, reflecting rising vacancies, while Metro Cebu, Clark, and Davao saw increases driven by strong demand.

The Department of Energy (DOE) is on track to introduce the Green Energy Auction (GEA) for offshore wind capacities next year, giving developers an eight-month window to submit bids.

This forthcoming auction has prompted developers to prioritize establishing their projects, though they encounter significant challenges in determining seabed conditions.

Atty. Jose Layug Jr., a former Undersecretary at the DOE, highlighted the importance of the Marine Spatial Plan in this context, as it pinpoints regions deemed unsuitable for offshore wind development, thereby streamlining project planning and implementation.

AB Surveying and Development (ABSD), a trusted partner for renewable energy firms, has brought the Riegl VQ-840-G to the Philippines, an advanced Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR system designed for shallow water surveys.

The Riegl VQ-840-G is mounted on a Cessna aircraft and uses a green laser capable of penetrating water. This innovative technology is particularly beneficial for RE firms, especially those involved in offshore wind projects.

The Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR system can cover an area of 20 kilometers in just two minutes, which takes one to two hours with traditional boat-based methods for the same distance. Additionally, boat surveys often face interruptions due to rough sea conditions, while aerial surveys can continue uninterrupted.

According to ABSD founder and general manager, Engr. Antonio “Tony” Botor, speed is a crucial advantage of Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR Surveying, particularly for offshore wind projects.
“With considerably faster acquisition speed versus other surveying options, aerial bathymetric LiDAR can secure data at a pace that immediately translates to a quick turnaround time for the delivery of the bathymetric map, allowing firms to design and plan efficiently,” said Engr. Botor.
Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR can also provide a comprehensive 3D model of the seabed, eliminating the need for random site checks, as developers can visualize the underwater terrain with precision. It offers a safer and faster alternative for developers who prefer to build in shallow waters, with depths ranging up to 30 meters, depending on the water’s clarity.

Given the vast coastlines of the Philippines, accurate underwater surveys are essential for determining safe docking locations and understanding the depth variations near shorelines, making it crucial for offshore wind projects, and port and pier developers.
This technology was first developed in 2019, making it a relatively new but essential tool for modern surveying.

“Our clients from the renewable energy industry are almost always in a race against time. Our services offer this solution: an expedited establishment of their projects, quicker implementation, and a more timely contribution to renewable energy initiatives,” he added.

When asked why ABSD adopted this technology, Engr. Botor explained that the firm sought a faster and more efficient way to gather accurate data underwater. The introduction of Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR filled this gap, providing a seamless solution for both land and water surveys.

ABSD's portfolio showcases its comprehensive expertise in surveying solutions tailored to the energy industry, including for the power and energy sectors. This includes Aerial LiDAR Surveying for precise mapping and infrastructure planning in onshore renewable projects. For offshore projects, ABSD uses Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR for shallow waters and Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) for deep-water mapping, ensuring detailed underwater surveys. They also offer mobile and terrestrial LiDAR services, catering to different surveying needs. fans

AirAsia Philippines expects holiday bookings to peak ahead of All Saints’ and All Souls Day

Manila, 14 October 2024 - AirAsia Philippines has seen an uptick in bookings for both domestic and international travel ahead of the upcoming holiday season. This increase is attributed to guests planning ahead and securing their travel early to save more and avoid any last-minute hassles.

For the travel period from October 30 to November 3, AirAsia Philippines has already recorded more than 50,000 seats sold, with numbers expected to rise further in the coming week. The top destinations include a mix of domestic and international locations: (1) Boracay, (2) Cebu, (3) Taipei, (4) Bohol, (5) Tacloban, (6) Puerto Princesa, (7) Incheon, (8) Narita, (9) IloIlo, and (10) Bangkok.

“While the season is traditionally observed to commemorate departed loved ones, we’ve seen that some guests visit early, allowing them to use the All Saints’ and All Souls' Day holidays for leisure travel. Based on our top 10 routes, beach destinations remain a favorite for domestic travelers, while countries that offer a mix of shopping, food, and cultural experiences continue to excite our international guests,” AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.

With most trips during this period lasting only 3 to 5 days, AirAsia Philippines is giving tips to help guests maximize their holiday travel:

1. Pack smart, travel smart. AirAsia Philippines existing baggage policy allows a hand carry of only 7 KG which could be a combination of a small luggage or backpack and a hand or sling bag. If you intend to bring home gifts from your travel, it is advisable that you upgrade your check-in baggage depending on your needs (AirAsia baggage are upgradeable up to 60 KG). Also take note of the list of prohibited items so you won’t have to go over your luggage during check-in procedures.

2. Plan your travels ahead. AirAsia Philippines offers a flexible flight schedule for most of the destinations so choose one that will fit your schedule. For international travel, consider taking red eye flights which are much cheaper than the usual. Also, adjust your travel schedule. Never fly out on the day of the holiday and return on the same schedule where everyone else is expected to fly back to Manila to avoid heavy traffic brought about by the exodus of travelers to Manila.

3. Go for the bundle. Flights, hotel accommodations, and activities are cheaper when bundled via the AirAsia MOVE App. With more than 40,000 hotel partners in over 200 locations across Asia, you are guaranteed to find something that fits your budget and will give you huge savings.

“To accommodate the influx of holiday travelers, we have also increased our manpower at NAIA Terminals 2 and 3. We will always be committed to fulfill our brand promise of reaching guests safely and on time,” Dailisan added.

To excite more guests to travel, AirAsia Philippines is giving away free flights, hotel vouchers, and AirAsia points with LFG AirAsia Blowout! Flights booked from 1 October to 29 November which will be registered via the AirAsia MOVE app will be converted to a raffle entry.
