Ways to Shake Up Your Hotel Revenue Strategy

USE an accurate demand forecast and proper reporting tools to ensure sales is not fill rooms with lowerrated group business during compressed periods when the revenue managers are yielding up room rates. Revenue and marketing teams should align objectives and goals, as well as how to measure success. Recently, the revenue teams have been tasked with looking not only at the top-line but at the bottom line num-

bers, so understanding Net ADR and Net RevPAR are critical. These two metrics help determine hotel profitability after costs are deducted from revenue. Help hotel owners and managers better understand the costs of customer acquisition through each channel. Once you’ve got that data, it can help marketing make optimized distribution decisions. This way Marketing can spread their budget out in the most effective ways.

Develop a revenue culture, starting at the top. If there’s buy-in at the C-level, that flows through to the rest of the organization. From there, everyone at your hotel, management company or brand needs to play their part in touching revenue. Consider re-thinking your organizational chart, with revenue management being elevated above sales and even marketing, in some cases. Look internally at how

your company is aligned. Build a strong Revenue Strategy that encompasses all revenue generating elements of your business: sales, marketing, distribution, revenue management, loyalty etc. Ensure that all stakeholders are focused on net revenue - or profits.

A small step forward, big leap onward

Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as crazy ones, we see genius – Steve Jobs WITH the launching today of the 5th Journalism Excellence Awards, a special note of thanks is most deserving to the few brave men who managed to traverse the less road travelled in this exciting days of tech-driven media. While obvious as it were to mention the frontrunners of this CSR-inspired corporate event, this piece is passionately dedicated to the men and women behind this corporate event as it marks another milestone in the media life of Mindanao’s leading newspaper, the Mindanao Daily. With a dynamic focus on embracing today’s digital technology, Mindanao

Daily has to nail down a corporate branding that is equal to none for excellence, if it has to become media-savvy, and more so of addressing its corporate social commitment to the countless readers and followers. Loaded with pregnant optimism, Mindanao Daily led by its passionate Publisher/CEO Dante Sudaria and VP for Corporate Affairs and Editor In Chief Allan Mediante takes the lead in the new media revolution by creating a new breed of social and mainstream media influencers – the millennials.

The new twist in printing quality newspapers is aimed at engaging readers with contents designed not just for consumption, but for the fulfilling experience like no other. A redesign project of this magnitude is unprecedented in this era of change. It is not just mere changing fonts

or layout, but for achieving reader-friendly publications. It required adjusting processes, IT infrastructure, rebridging story philosophy, skills upgrade of personnel and training to look at news differently as a multiplatform experience. Readers are now served by Mindanao Daily of what constitutes a new regional newspaper. It is not just the design that has changed, but also the approach to storytelling, basically aligned to the needs of the changing digital landscape. Indeed, time has changed. Today’s newspapers, be it tabloid or broadsheet, are compelled to use the latest in digital technology and it seems there is no end in See STEP, page 11

Speaking Out

Lessons from my father

LET me relate to you an advice I heard from my father, Dr. Alfredo M. Bunye. My father was my boyhood idol. He was a most important influence in my life. Because of economic hardships, he supported himself by working as a houseboy of a wealthy Swiss businessman named John Glaiserman in Sta. Mesa, Manila. Mr. Glaiserman was impressed by the industry of young Alfredo. When young Alfredo sought permission, the businessman readily allowed him to work only in the morning so he could study in the afternoon. My father became a teacher, a school principal, a lawyer, a penal superintendent and later director of the Bureau of Prisons, which is now called the Bureau of Corrections.

Years later, Mr. Glaiserman went to the Bureau of Prisons to apply for clearance. In his twilight years, Mr. Glaiserman wanted to become a Filipino citizen. The kind Swiss gentleman was so surprised at the speed by which is clearance was processed. He was even more surprised to have the clearance personally handed to him by his former houseboy, who was now the Director of Prisons. While already a Prison Superintendent, my father still continued studying. He finished his Master of Laws at the University of the Philippines and later his Doctor of Civil Laws at the University of Sto. Tomas. He paid for ward by giving some of the prison employees - who wanted to study – an easier work schedule. One of the prison guards, who took advantage

of this opportunity, also became a lawyer and later a Mayor of Muntinlupa. He was the late Mayor Maximino Argana. My father once told me: “Whatever you do, never stop dreaming. Never stop learning.” I can still hear those words today, as clearly as when they were spoken years ago, and I have religiously followed them. “Whatever you do, never stop dreaming. Never stop learning.” Stopping the cycle of violence In the course of his long prison service, he had the rare opportunity to act as the jailer of hundreds of Japanese prisoners who had been convicted of war crimes by a military commission immediately after the war. During that time, anti-

Ignacio Bunye

Japanese sentiment was at its peak. Japanese soldiers, led by a fanatic Admiral, wantonly burned, looted, raped and killed close to a hundred thousand civilians during the infamous Manila Massacre in February 1945. My own paternal grandfather, Ignacio O. Bunye, was picked up by the Japanese from his house in Alabang Stock Farm on February 3, 1945 , never again to be seen alive. Around the same time, in the New Bilibid Prison, 31 Filipino political prisoners were taken out of their cells by the Japanese and executed one by one on February 3 and 4.

GILBERT Y. CHAO - Motoring Editor

Suzuki PH to Launch the All-New Carry This Month IN 1976, Suzuki started export of the Carry from Japan, and started production in Indonesia in the same year. Since then, the Carry has been acclaimed for its easeof-use and durability. It has supported working people in various industries including agriculture, fisheries, construction and delivery in 145 countries and regions around the world with cumulative sales of over two million units*. *Based on Suzuki research as of February 2019. Does not include mini-segment trucks sold in Japan. Launched in Indonesia April of this year, the allnew Carry delivers what all truck customers today expect; cargo capacity, toughness, comfort and performance. The

large-sized cargo has an ample maximum loading

weight. In addition, the low deck height

and access from three sides makes loading and

unloading easier. Rough road capability with

heavy duty-suspension and protection against rust and corrosion make the new Carry a trusted partner for working in harsh conditions. The interior of the new Carry offers comfort and convenience for passengers, including a wide cabin, ample legroom and plenty of storage compartments. The new 1.5-litre petrol engine delivers high power and high fuel efficiency to haul heavy loads while saving fuel cost. Small truck has approximately 10% share in the Indonesian automobile market in FY2018, and for Suzuki in Indonesia, small truck accounts for nearly half of its sales. The all-new Carry is set to be unveiled in the Philippines by the end of the month.

The Suzuki Jimny All-Grip Pro DESIGNED to deliver authentic 4Ă—4 experience, the all-new Jimny features All Grip Pro for high off-road capability that allows instant response and maneuver through difficult terrain. The fourth iteration of this popular Suzuki SUV uses a ladder frame that is more resistant than a monocoque body to torsion and is therefore better suited for off-road, rough terrain. Compared with many SUVs today with independent suspensions, the Jimny uses a long-stroke 3-link suspension and rigid full wheel axles on both front and rear for strong traction on uneven terrain. The Jimny can climb over obstacles and steep hills without scrapping its bumpers or underbody. The vehicleâ€™s 37-degree specialized approach angle, 28-degree ramp breakover angle and 49-degree departure angle allow it to maneuver over ridges and verticals. With its part-time 4WD with low-range

transfer gear, the Jimny can switch between 4WD and 2WD to achieve optimal offroad performance and better fuel economy and enhanced cornering on paved roads, respectively. The SUV also has extra torque in the 4L mode for rough terrain. Whether the day calls for multiple projects off site or unplanned long trips outside

the metro, the all-new Suzuki Jimny can handle the challenge by combining hill hold control, hill descent control and brake limited slip-differential (LSD) traction control. These systems allow both wheels to maintain speed and better control in rough road conditions. The fourth-generation SUV sports a square body for better situational awareness.

Its compact dimensions allow the Jimny to maneuver through narrow mountain trails and thick forests, a clear advantage over larger off-road vehicles. Its light weight lets you conquer mud, sand and up steep slippery slopes where heavier vehicles tend to get stuck. See JIMMY, page 11

GSIS eyes PPP to enhance income from its property assets IN its continuing efforts to enhance revenue income from its investment properties, the governing board of Government Service Insurance System, led by Chairman and Acting President and General Manager Rolando Ledesma Macasaet, attended a seminar on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) conducted by Philippine Reclamation Authority Chairman and certified PPP specialist, lawyer Alberto C. Agra. Chairman Macasaet said that the “GSIS Board wants to understand how PPP works so that we can maximize use of GSIS’s property assets, for the benefit of our over two million members and pensioners.” “Through PPP, GSIS can

redevelop its properties for productive or commercial use, which will boost our income and sustain our fund life,” the pension fund chief pointed out. During the said seminar, the GSIS Board of Trustees were briefed on various PPP modalities which include Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) schemes, Joint Ventures, divestment, lease, management contract, service contract, real property swap, and concession. In 2012, GSIS entered into a PPP contract with the Philippine Investment Alliance for Infrastructure (PInAI), considered as the very first private equity fund for infrastructure projects in the country.

The Jimny’s look and body express off-road functionality in every detail, from the tough square form to the 15-inch alloy wheels painted in dark-metallic gray. The angled bumper is optimized for off-road terrain while the square wheel arches allow for easier tire changes. Molded black bumpers, wheel arch extensions and side sills help block pebbles from scratching the body panels. The iconic round headlamps inherited from past models are completely separated to allow independent replacement. The interior mirrors the simple and straightforward exterior. Black is used to minimize distraction, with functional parts such as center switches and dials in metallic colors for easy use. The instrument panel and surrounding parts have scratch- and stain-resistant grained finish while the circular steering wheel has a leather cover to withstand rough handling. The multimedia audio unit features a bigger 9-inch capacitive touchscreen with large icons and soft buttons for easy control. It features off-line GPS navigation system and off-road audio guide. The all-new Jimny accommodates 53 liters more luggage than the previous model. Small items can be stored in a removable luggage box for easier organization. The all-new Jimny uses a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder K15B engine that delivers stronger torque at all rpm than the previous Jimny. It features a specially designed flywheel for engine flexibility and improved NVH and a lightweight resin belt cover and fuel tank. The optimized intake system and long nozzle injector enhance fuel efficiency. The Jimny All-Grip Pro also features Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology (TECT), which scatters collision energy across the vehicle frame to mitigate damage to the car and passengers. To reduce driver stress and fatigue, one of the top design considerations for the new Jimny, the SUV’s ladder frame rigidity was increased and the body mounts redesigned for lower vibration. The front seat cushion frames are 70mm wider and 50mm taller for better shock absorption. Unpleasant noise inside the cabin was reduced through the strategic placement of sound-absorbing material throughout the body. For greater dependability, the Jimny All-Grip Pro use zinc-coated steel more extensively and has a more effective floor undercoating and seater coatings at panel edges to protect it against rust caused by salt from river crossings. The Suzuki Jimny All-Grip Pro GL MT is priced at P975,000 while the GL AT is available at P1,035,000. A GLX AT variant is available in monotone and two tone colors priced at P1,085,000 and P1,095,000 respectively.

the innovation of things. To go digital means embracing change and the answer to that is the breaking away from the status quo, which is basically a hard thing to do. Digital transformation is harder than we think, but it can be done. Where ever we go today, we see people, using digital innovations. And MDN has taken a sustainable step toward achieving excellence in the world of techdriven media. Newspaper like the Mindanao Daily and its sister publications has to evolve to attune itself to the changing of the times. Because, as Steve Jobs has said, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Indeed, Mindanao has taken a small step forward with a big lead onward.

suffered, in one way or another, from Japanese brutality, would have rightly expected my father to use his position to get even with the Japanese. But to the consternation of many Filipinos and more to the surprise of the Japanese prisoners, he did the opposite. He did not retaliate. Instead, he ordered his guards to protect the Japanese from harm and to treat them humanely. Dr. Hitoshi Nagai of Hiroshima Peace Institute wrote in a 2011 research paper entitled “Peace Born Out of Tolerance – A Legacy of Alfredo Bunye”: “… there were rarely any incidences of torture, abuse or slave labor at the NBP”. Nagai also wrote of several incidents which reflected my father’s humanitarian treatment of the Japanese prisoners. In one, Nagai narrated: “In the cells on death row, where two or three prisoners were held in each cell, it was allowed to bring in an electronic stove, and the prisoners made coffee and cooked some dishes. One day, a prisoner who had been sentenced to death and was very shortsighted had his spectacles broken. As his only enjoyment in the prison was reading, he was so depressed, being now unable to read. A few days later, however, new spectacles were delivered to him--they were given by Superintendent Bunye.” Years later, my father explained to me why: “We must stop the cycle of violence and hate.” Interviewed in Japan in 1952, he explained his action: “My father was victimized by the Japanese... However, I believe it was a step in the process that the world resumes peace.” That was Dr. Alfredo M. Bunye, my father, my hero.

PUV... from page 1

Earlier, it was learned that under the PUV modernization program, each route must be covered only by one operator – which is a cooperative in nature.

“Duna nay nag-train nga duha ka personnel karon sa Manila and after one month once they come back, we can set up the regional OTC desk here,” Guro said. Along this line, Guro urged all local government units (LGUs) in the region to submit their respective local public transport route plans to fasttrack the opening of new routes in their respective localities. The city of Cagayan de Oro has already submitted its LPTRP a month ago with 56 routes, a slight modification from the current jeepneys routings. One of those which signified their intentions to foray into the PUV business here in Region 10 is CDO TRANSCO or the Commuters Drivers Operators Transport Cooperative. In an interview, CDO TRANSCO chairman Nestor Babol said they are just waiting for the approval of their franchise to operate a fleet of 50 taxicab units. CDO TRANSCO is currently operating the SUV route in Cagayan de Oro-Claveria with a total of 18 plying units.

of Barangay Dulay Proper in Marawi City, the first project site for the first 109 permanent houses to be built according to Christopher Rollo, Country Programme Manager of UN-Habitat Philippines. Those who will graduate from the program will be hired as workforce for the construction of 1,500 shelter units as a commitment of UN-Habitat Philippines and the Government of Japan that will fund the project dubbed as Rebuilding Marawi Shelter and Livelihood. Holcim Helps, the corporate citizenship program of Holcim Philippines, through its Galing Mason Program and TESDA will provide the training program. Through this program, the workers will develop their knowledge and core skills through formal training and will receive certificates of completion (CoC) to show their enhanced competencies after acquiring the National Certification II (NC II); provide opportunities for sustainable livelihood and employment; support private and government sectors who are in need of construction skilled workers; and help communities live better lives through social investments. “This project is not only building houses but also a peacebuilding project because we are also building communities and

building partnership,” Rollo said. In partnership, UN-Habitat Philippines means the people of Marawi, especially those who will occupy the shelters, planned the shelter design, together with the religious sectors. “The houses are designed by the people, not by the UN-Habitat, not by the Holcim, not by the funder through the mission-vision technical workshop we facilitated in June, this year. During the workshop, we asked the IDPs (internally displaced persons) to give us a vision of a community they want to have,” Warren Ubongen, project manager of UN-Habitat Iligan Field Office said. Each unit has a lot area of 100 square meter (24 sq.m ground floor, 18 sq.m loft) with toilet and bathroom, kitchen, electrical circuits and outlets, water lines and outlets, 3-chamber concrete septic tank and soil infiltration system. The structure adopted a masonry wall system, concrete slab ground floor, plain plaster finish, steel floor framing on loft and steel roof framing pre-painted CGI roof sheets. Architect Orwell Obach, Technical Supervisor of UN-Habitat Philippines, said 122 bags of cement are needed for each housing unit that would cost 205 thousand pesos each house that would cover the materials and labor. Each unit is estimated to be finished in 21 days.

Ayana... from page 1

Situated in barangay Balubal this city, Amaya Subdivision is a socialized and economy class development that is exclusively available for UKC Builders, Inc. employees only. Owned by UKC’s sister company D’Maple Development Corporation, Amaya Subdivision allots 92 economy units and 86

socialized units of row houses and two-storey duplexes for its employees. Since the project is partnered with Pag-IBIG Fund, the buyers can definitely avail of the affordable flexi financing schemes that Pag-IBIG Fund is offering. “We chose this area for our own employees to live in because this is a very serene place and indeed a relaxing one to be an abode,” D’Maple Development Corporation general manager May Sheila Mercurio said. Mercurio added that they chose the name Ayana since it means “beautiful flower” in Swahili and the naturally distinct place in Balubal fits just that. Amaya Subdivision Phase I is expected to be turned over to the new unit owners by summer of 2020. According to Mercurio, Phase II of the project will be open to the public.
