The growth of the online shopping industry in the Philippines for the past couple of years has been immense. The COVID-19 pandemic, for obvious reasons, increased the number of online buyers. But, less expected was that due to the unemployment caused by the pandemic, a lot of Filipinos started online micro-businesses which enhanced the online selling market as well.
These new online micro-entrepreneurs and many of the already existing ones in the country, primarily use social media as a tool in operating their businesses. And one component that has been vital in their growth is the logistics sector.
Airspeed, one of the largest, most experienced, and most reputable logistics providers in the Philippines, is on a mission to speed up the success of Filipino entrepreneurs. With this, Airspeed is launching a new service to cater to digital sellers called PinaSpeed.

PinaSpeed is now available to micro-businesses in NCR, Rizal, and Cavite at extremely reasonable rates. It will soon be adding more locations in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to cover the entire archipelago .

PinaSpeed is more than just another digital booking and delivery platform. It is a catalyst for change and an avenue for growth for micro-entrepreneurs. As PinaSpeed bridges gaps and links disconnects to propel the current micro-entrepreneurship landscape into greater heights, it thereby supports grassroots businesses, which is the backbone of the Philippines’ economy.
