The rainy season in the Philippines is here once again, bringing with it serious hazards to Filipinos’ health, safety, and homes — from flooding and power outages to the rise of mosquito-borne diseases.
Akari, the leading lighting and technology brand in the Philippines, is here to help you keep your home and family protected and emergency-ready this wet season with a trusted lineup of innovative, energy-efficient products.
Equip your home with the Akari LED emergency light to provide reliable backup lighting of up to 7 hours during a blackout or power interruption. Designed for safety and convenience, it features overcharge/over-discharge protection to ensure a longer battery lifespan — keeping it plugged in and ready-to-use during sudden power outages whenever you need it most.
To guard against mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya — which are especially prevalent during the Philippine rainy season — Akari offers a wide range of electric mosquito killers that can cover up to 100 square meters with a powerful zapping voltage of up to 1,400V, making them one of the most effective indoor mosquito control solutions available.
Power interruptions don’t have to mean discomfort. The Akari AC/DC 12-inch Bluetooth music box fan keeps you cool and entertained even without electricity. This rechargeable electric fan can operate for up to six hours on a single charge, and its built-in Bluetooth speaker lets you play your favorite music wirelessly — the perfect emergency-ready appliance for any Filipino household.

For Akari Chief Executive Officer Christopher Tiu, the Home of the UAAP stands as more than a landmark; it embodies the company’s long-standing mission to empower communities and support grassroots sports development.
“We’ve successfully increased the seating capacity in the upper-ground or general admission area, raising it from nearly 7,000 to more than 8,000 seats,” Tan revealed.
He added that the project team is also carefully studying proposals to introduce standing room areas, prioritizing both safety and accessibility for fans.
“Safety remains a top priority. Should standing zones be added, there will be protective barriers in place, along with clear emergency discharge routes to ensure everyone’s well-being,” Tan explained.
In his speech, Tan expressed gratitude to the UAAP for entrusting Athletica Asia Land Corporation with such a meaningful endeavor.
“Today, as we break ground, we’re not just laying the foundation of a structure — we’re building a legacy. This will be a space that inspires future generations and unites people through the power of sports,” he said.
