A New Era for Filipino Sports: Akari Helps Build the Home of the UAAP
The future is here! After more than two years of nationwide lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Akari Lighting’s Project Department held its highly anticipated annual product introduction seminar 2022 on October 5. Attendees included developers, contractors, architects, and business owners who have partnered with Akari Lighting for many years. The event doubles as a feedback mechanism for items used across different projects, as well as a training seminar for relevant partners on item installation, termination, and industry best practices.
The event kicked off with a short introduction by the Project Department’s Head, Ms. Catherine Tiu-Tan, covering the history of the company, the purpose of the event, and key highlights to look forward to in the seminar. Shortly after, the team presented both Akari and NXLED products — including lighting fixtures, wiring devices, and Comelit intercom units — giving attendees a comprehensive overview of the latest innovations available in the market.
Building a Legacy of Excellence
2020 data from S&P Global show significant growth opportunities in the Philippine telco industry, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3% projected through the 2020s. Statista also estimates 84.67 million smartphone users in the Philippines in 2022, translating to approximately 75.3% mobile penetration rate. Capitalizing on this digital momentum, Akari Lighting, via the NXLED smart lighting brand, launched its latest smart home lighting product line — now available across more than 200 retail stores nationwide, online sales channels, and key accounts.
The smart lighting category addresses new consumer demands, capitalizing on individuality, customization, and tech-savvy home solutions — all without compromising quality. Products under the smart lighting category include power adapters, smart flood lights, LED strip lights, and smart ceiling lamps. These smart lighting fixtures and wiring devices are powered by either the Tuya app, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa using WiFi technology — accessible on both iOS and Android devices. As a new generation of consumers purchases lighting products for the first time, Akari Lighting remains committed to being the brand of choice for Filipino consumers.
“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.
Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on training session from partner intercom company Comelit. The session covered installation, termination, and a live demonstration of the different Comelit intercom units. The Akari team also shared expert insights on choosing and installing products across varying project conditions and locations — reinforcing their role as a trusted partner in the Philippine construction and real estate industry.
The afternoon concluded with an engaging Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session, where questions ranged from Akari post-sales service, product installation, and regular maintenance, to scope of work and purchase terms. The overwhelming engagement during the event proves the shared commitment of all stakeholders to the vision of building the Filipino nation — one lightbulb at a time.
