Data-driven decisions and the boom of artificial intelligence
Data, not money, is king. Companies ranging from those in fast moving consumer goods to media are guided by data-driven decision-making, and more often than not, the greatest analysts and data collectors come in the form of artificial intelligence (AI). Twenty five percent of Fortune 500 companies are expected to bring more AI into their ranks to boost productivity and operational insights, saving costs and increasing production. Some might say that AI will just take over the jobs of hardworking citizens, but this is where the second item on our list comes in.

The death of the influencer
When Instagram decided it was time to remove the number of likes on every Instagram post, it was the beginning of the end for the Instagram influencer. Without numbers to testify their reach for potential advertisers, influencers will need to rely on something more than clickbait Instagram posts—they’ll have to focus on quality instead of quantity. Valuable, meaningful content will override the business plan to shift from “influencer” to “content creator.”

The rise of remote work
The innovation of co-working spaces has taught us enough to know that you don’t need an office to get work done. Whether you’re working from home or from a café, remote work is the practical alternative to effectively run your business. In a city like Metro Manila where terrible traffic causes the economy to lose millions per day, remote work is the bandwagon companies need to jump on if they want to attract the best and brightest.

APRIL (HOLY WEEK)
Moriones Festival in Marinduque
Moriones Festival is an annual event held in Marinduque during the Holy Week to celebrate its religion and culture. The word “Moriones” came from the word “mask” which is worn by the people who re-enact the life of St. Longinus, the half-blind centurion whose eyesight came back when he drove a spear on the side of Jesus’ body. Locals think of joining the festival as their “panata” or devotion, a way to show sacrifice and thanksgiving to God.
The festival runs for a week, and is defined by pompous and colourful celebrations where people go around from house to house, looking for the man who is acting to be the Roman Soldier, St. Longinus.
