The Power of Flexible Learning: OEd (Online Education) Leads the Shift Toward a Future-Ready, Flexible Workforce

In today's fast-paced world, Filipinos are expected to manage work, family responsibilities, personal goals, and the never-ending pursuit of a better life.  Education can no longer be limited to four walls or predetermined routines since we have so much on our plates.  Learning must change with us, grow with us, and adapt to the everyday environment we live in.  This is the driving force behind OEd (Online Education), a bold commitment to a single ground-breaking idea.

Education should adapt to you, not the other way around.

A Rebrand Rooted in Real Lives

From working parents and young professionals to returning students and global Filipinos, today’s learners come from diverse backgrounds with equally diverse needs. OEd (Online Education) embraces this reality through a model built on three pillars:

• Start Anytime
• Extend Anytime
• Study at Your Own Pace

This approach breaks away from traditional semestral calendars and fixed timetables, aligning instead with how people actually live and learn today.

For many Filipinos, this flexibility means education finally fits into their rhythm — whether studying after a night shift, catching up on modules during a quiet weekend, or opening lessons from a café or overseas. As countless student stories show, OEd (Online Education) becomes a supportive partner, not a constraint.

A Strategic Shift for the Modern Workforce

From a business perspective, the rebrand strengthens the institution’s role in developing a skilled, 

 future-ready workforce.

As industries evolve and digital transformation accelerates, continuous learning becomes essential. OEd (Online Education) addresses this need with:

• Programs from SHS to Doctorate
• Industry-aligned curriculum
• 24/7 accessible learning systems
• Flexible pacing ideal for working professionals

With most Filipino learners also being breadwinners, employees, or entrepreneurs, the ability to earn a degree while staying productive is a major advantage. OEd (Online Education) supports economic mobility by making education more accessible, more flexible, and more aligned with real-world demands.

• Beyond convenience, the rebrand reflects a deeper academic shift toward:
• Learner autonomy
• Asynchronous, self-paced learning
• Competency-based progression
• Improved accessibility for nontraditional students

This student-first philosophy is key to modern education. By empowering learners to control when 

and how they study, OEd (Online Education) promotes mastery, reduces stress, and removes long-standing barriers that once hindered thousands of Filipinos from earning a degree.

Its extensive offerings — spanning Senior High School to Doctoral programs — also create a full learning ecosystem, allowing seamless academic progression in one institution.

Stories That Reflect the Filipino Experience 

What truly defines OEd (Online Education) are the people it serves:

• A call center agent studying during lunch breaks
• An OFW earning a degree abroad without sacrificing employment
• A parent returning to school after raising a family

A creative professional balancing shoots, business tasks, and coursework. These are not extraordinary cases — they are the real faces of modern education in the 

Philippines.

The Future of Learning Is Flexible

As the Philippines advances in its digital shift, OEd (Online Education) leads the movement toward inclusive, adaptable, and responsive education. Its rebrand is more than a refreshed look; it is a renewed commitment to meet students where they are, support their goals, and ensure learning remains accessible to all.

Goodbye Traditional, Hello Flexible is more than a declaration — It is a promise that your goals, your time, and your life matter.

Ready to take control of your future?

Start your journey with OEd (Online Education) — where your schedule, your goals, and your life come first.

Enroll Anytime. Study Anywhere. Learn at Your Own Pace. Let your education move with you.

Flying Stronger Together with Cebu: AirAsia Empowers Disaster Resiliency, Expands Cebu Route Network

“To say that it has been tough and heartbreaking is an understatement. Many Cebuanos have lost their homes, livelihoods, and, most tragically, their loved ones. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by these calamities. Recovery will not be easy but together, through compassion and collaboration, we will rise stronger. We are also deeply committed to partnering with the people of Cebu during the rebuilding process by providing affordable travel options that can spur economic activity and aid in recovery. As we expand our network, we also continue to make meaningful journeys by uplifting the communities we serve. AirAsia’s goal is to accelerate Southeast Asia’s position as a global low-cost megahub. By linking our Cebu hub with Kuala Lumpur, we’re connecting Visayas and Mindanao to a broader global network spanning Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Europe.” ~Capt. Suresh Bangah, AirAsia Philippines CEO and President

In keeping with the Filipino ethos of "Bayanihan," which exemplifies solidarity, compassion, and resilience in times of tremendous need, AirAsia today launched its community development and disaster resiliency programs to promote the rehabilitation of catastrophe-affected Cebu.

In a video message, Allstars (AirAsia employees) from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia expressed their deep sympathy and concern for their Asean brothers and sisters in the Philippines, who were most recently devastated by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake and battered by Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi). 

A moment of silence was held in remembrance of the victims of disasters to honor the bravery of volunteers, rescue personnel, and common people who have shown strength in saving lives.

In response to the earthquake, AirAsia sent essential rescue team humanitarian flights and volunteers to support government partners logistically.   On directives from the Office of the President, AirAsia sent the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) search and rescue team and essential rescue equipment to Cebu the day after the earthquake.   The MMDA squad was among the first on the ground to carry out search, rescue, and recovery operations in the province of Cebu.

As part of its rebuilding efforts, AirAsia will donate PHP15 for every seat sold from November 15 to January 14, 2025 to support earthquake and typhoon relief and recovery programs in Cebu.

Through its philanthropic arm, AirAsia Foundation, AirAsia will disburse up to PHP 9 million to assist local communities through its support for grassroots organizations such as Bike Scouts, a social enterprise with more than a decade of on-ground disaster response experience across the Philippines. 

The community-based, volunteer-driven organization provides vital information, communications, and supplies to communities isolated by typhoons, floods, landslides, and other natural events by using bicycles to reach areas difficult for larger vehicles to reach during emergencies. Bike Scouts will focus on logistics, transportation, and helping affected families as an essential community partner. The AirAsia Foundation awarded Bike Scouts its first grant late last year in response to a disastrous typhoon season that saw 14 tropical cyclones impact the Philippines between August and December 2024. A PHP560,000 grant was given to Bike Scouts so they could conduct disaster resilience workshops for more than 200 responders in high-risk areas.

This current commitment will help the group increase the number of resilience workshops, fix community infrastructure, and provide emergency relief supplies. Bike Scouts will receive additional financing from the AirAsia Foundation to assist social enterprises in impacted areas in rebuilding community infrastructure and means of subsistence.

“At AirAsia Foundation, one of our main priorities is helping communities rebuild stronger after a disaster. As the focus shifts from emergency relief to recovery in these communities, we leverage our network of social enterprises and trusted partners to connect resources with communities in need, supporting them to restore homes and livelihoods and make a meaningful difference for those affected.” ~Mun Ching Yap, Executive Director of AirAsia Foundation

Asean post-disaster programs have previously been spearheaded by the AirAsia Foundation.   Over USD 4 million has been donated and distributed by the Foundation since its establishment in 2012 to help post-disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts, including responses to the 2021 floods in Malaysia, the 2018 Palu tsunami, and the 2013 Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.   Furthermore, seven Asean countries have received more than USD 670,000 in social entrepreneurship awards from the AirAsia Foundation, supporting deserving initiatives that fight poverty, promote sustainable livelihoods, and bolster climate resilience.

AFFORDABLE TRAVEL OPTIONS

AirAsia started two international and three domestic flights from Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) today in an effort to improve regional connectivity and aid relief efforts in areas hit by disasters throughout the Visayas and Mindanao.

The inaugural Kuala Lumpur-Cebu flight, which arrived XX ahead of schedule, was welcomed with a traditional water cannon salute at MCIA.

AirAsia Philippines CEO and President Capt. Suresh Bangah and AirAsia Aviation Group Chief Commercial Officer Amanda Woo were warmly welcomed by Cebu Governor Pam Baricuatro, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Ma. Cynthia K. Chan, Department of Tourism–Region 7 Director Gelena Asis-Dimpas, alongside Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC) CEO Athanasios Titonis, airline executives and members of the media.

The expanding AirAsia network, which now connects travelers to more than 160 destinations group-wide, including the international services to Kuala Lumpur and Macao, has five new routes in the Philippines. 

New domestic connections from Cebu to Davao, Iloilo, and Caticlan further solidify the Queen City of the South's position as a strategic center by providing tourists with more reasonably priced options throughout the region.

Founded in 2001, AirAsia has stayed true to its purpose and tagline "Now Everyone Can Fly".

“Fisher Mall has always believed in creating spaces where people feel connected. Events like this remind us that a mall is more than just a place to shop because it is also. Our activity centers are built to be platforms for performers, cultural groups, and local organizations. We take pride in giving communities a space to gather, express themselves, and thrive. We look forward to expanding these partnerships with our LGUs even further. As we light our Christmass trees in both our malls, we also light hearts with hope.

Fisher Mall recently lit up the season with "A Holiday of Hope", a grand Christmas tree lighting celebration that brought together families, partners, and local communities across its Quezon Avenue and Malabon branches. 

Beyond the dazzling displays and performances, the event highlighted Fisher Mall’s meaningful partnership with Bahay Aruga – A Free Halfway House for Pediatric Cancer Patients Inc.

A Celebration of Community, Creativity, and Collaboration

The simultaneous Christmas launch event at Fisher Mall brought families, patrons, and partners together to celebrate the holiday season. Guests witnessed live performances by the Quezon City Symphonic Band, Malabon Concert Singers, and Ballet Manila in addition to interesting activities that encouraged communication and bonding.

The PinoyLUG club, led by Leslie Araujo, created a Christmas-themed LEGO display that captivated both kids and adults and gave the mall a nostalgic feel.

Councilors Dorothy "Doray" Delarmente, Charm M. Ferrer, and Nikki Crisologo were among the representatives of the Quezon City Government who graced the celebration, emphasizing the city's shared commitment to promoting local culture, innovation, and community involvement.

Turning Holiday Shopping Into Acts of Giving

Soupstar Music closes 25th Year in Style with ‘New Era’ Partnership

“I am a big fan of caps, especially those from New Era. Through the years, New Era and Soupstar have been supporting each other in different events. One time, lumabas na lang yung idea na magkaroon ng New Era and Soupstar cap collab. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect since we’re celebrating 25 years this year. “It’s a simple celebration of Soupstar artists and friends. Moonstar88 is the first band that we signed and managed. Meanwhile, HEY JUNE! represents the start of our new era. Tuloy-tuloy lang naman kami. Kung ano’ng available platforms, we are present. Furthermore, we continue to collaborate with record labels. I still stand and believe in this partnership. We’ll keep moving forward and continue to hold dear what we stand for and believe is important. We’ll continue to release songs and manage artists. We’re here to guide and provide quality support to the talents that we manage. We’re here to stay.” ~Darwin Hernandez, Soupstar Music CEO

Soupstar Music celebrates its 25 years in the Philippine music scene with a special partnership with global lifestyle brand New Era.   The limited-edition cap, which made its debut on November 13, 2025, at Quezon City's Hideout Resto & Bar, aptly embodies Soupstar Music's continued influence in fusing music, street culture, and contemporary Filipino living.

HEY JUNE and Moonstar88!  performed at the launch, which brought together the label's active artist, partner, and fan base.   The event also represents the intersection of Soupstar Music's past and present.

Given this accomplishment, Soupstar Music claims that the secret to longevity is to see the journey not as a race but rather as a series of challenging laps that foster growth, resiliency, and purpose.

“When we started Soupstar, we didn’t set any strict expectations. Reaching 25 years is an important event for any management company. It’s a moment that deserves celebration, one that stands as a testament to our hard work, passion, and dedication through the years.” ~The team recalls

Soupstar Music’s yearlong celebration includes Soupstar Night at 123 Block, the Soupstar Museum at Velvet Playground, and the packed anniversary event, 25 Years of Torete at Eton Centris. The collaboration with New Era stands as one of the company’s most distinctive commemorative highlights. 

A longtime supporter of the headwear powerhouse, Soupstar Music CEO Darwin Hernandez shares how the partnership unfolded. 

During the launch. Moonstar88 and HEY JUNE! delivered incredible sets that serve as a fitting homage to the label’s history and future.

Both events will be headlined by Moonstar88, who also celebrated the 25th anniversary of their iconic hit “Torete” this year. The band is gearing up to release new material in 2026, adding excitement to their participation in the festivities.

A legacy of championing OPM

For 25 years, the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) movement has been influenced by Soupstar Music, a dedicated management team and independent record label that represents a number of genre-defining bands like 6cyclemind, Banda ni Kleggy, Better Days, Gracenote, and HEY JUNE.  The Vowels They Orbit, Imago, Jem, Kiss n' Tell, Mizael, Moonstar88, Sandwich, Teeth, Ultracombo (Buddy Zabala and Raymond Marasigan), and WE GOT.

The label has consistently expanded its audience through corporate events, campus tours, mall tours, local performances, and bar tours.   Despite the continuous changes in the industry, Soupstar Music remains committed to its mission.
