The Collective | Distribution Day

12.30.2018 – Whenever you visit your usual toy store chances are there is new stuff to check it out. But in some cases these retail stores might not have the ones you’ve been seeing in community forums. The retail market when it comes to these toys is either they get sold out immediately or there’s just one distributor who controls them. The common business in releasing the toys back in the day is not what they are now. Rarely, you’ll see a complete wave or set being displayed immediately without fanfare or without the need for a limited group of people to know that they have arrived, but that’s unlike in the Philippines with this so called “Distribution Day.”

Self-Checkout | Is the Philippines Ready?

12.19.2018 - The Holiday Season in the Philippines is in full swing and long lines build up at retail counters in department stores, boos stores,, and other retail shop nationwide. It’s the busiest time of the year, but despite all this, the more employed staff takes up the counters without any proper solution to the congested long lines that are comparable to the traffic in EDSA. The Philippine retail industry has been this way ever since that has not changed while other countries namely their Asian counterparts are slowly embracing the self-service checkouts as an alternative way to ease off the congestion inside these shops is this the country ready for this type of service?
