AIR21 43RD ANNIVERSARY: LOGISTICS FOR NATION BUILDING

By admin on June 22nd, 2022

AIR21, Your Total Logistics Solutions Provider, celebrated its
43rd anniversary on June 21, 2022. Titled “Logistics for Nation
Building,” the celebration was held at the AIR21 Merville
Warehouse in Parañaque City, and was broadcasted to
employees via Zoom.

Fr. Ian Gabinete led a simple mass before the start of the
celebration. Then, evening’s hosts Ms. April Cabrera and Mr.
Rhey Taño welcomed everybody to the event before presenting
a video of some of AIR21’s most significant milestones. This
video looks back through the company’s 43 years of service
and celebrates how their efforts have helped shape and build
up the Philippines through the power of logistics.

AIR21 President Mr. Jojit Aguilar then gave his welcoming
message. “We are the stewards of [the Chairman’s] mission and
vision,” said Mr. Aguilar after watching AIR21’s milestones video
and encouraged everyone to “continue working hard to be part
of the Philippines’ history.” Afterward was the awarding of

AIR21’s long-time employees. These awards recognize that
AIR21 would not be a leader in logistics and nation-building
today without the hard work of its people. When giving her
message on behalf of the awardees, Ms. Celeste Bantugan
simply thanked AIR21 and wished that “sana magtagal tayo
hanggang 100 years.”

The event concluded with a final message from Mr. and Mrs.
Alberto and Sylvia Lina and the anniversary cake blowing.

Mrs. Lina was reminded of the most popular song of 1979, l Will
Survive by Gloria Gaynor, the year AIR21 was founded. She was
moved by the lyrics of that song and realized that “if you know
how to love, you will survive.” Mr. Lina continued, saying that they
learned many lessons by surviving the pandemic and that they
would not have made it without AIR21’s employees. “Kayo ay ang
unsung heroes ng bayan!”

Happy 43rd anniversary, AIR21! Here’s to more years and
opportunities to build up the Philippines through logistics!
