Can you see the BIG difference?
2011: What a year this was!
This year also saw the emergence of new players in the industry. Anyone with a weak heart would easily fold and panic, --seeing how heavily these COPY CAT suppliers are investing on equipment. Nauna porma, eh. That is exactly how I was when I started an I.T. company back in 1999.. Nauna ang porma.. Hayun nalugi, I had no choice but to close it. Too much porma wasn't sustainable for the business. Yabang nalang and pride was the one that kept it running till I ran out of money and had no choice but to close the company. And I'm glad I did. It taught me a lot of lessons about how to really do business. It's all about being practical. I am very proud to say that when I started AeroEye Asia back in late 2006-early 2007 and offered an alternative and affordable means of doing aerial photography and aerial videography, WE CHANGED THE RULES OF THE GAME! And now, madami nang gaya-gaya! Ahihi! ;-)
With AeroEye Asia, "ang bida ang client namin, hindi kami". Once we get the green light to publish our works, we flaunt it with pride. What our clients appreciate most about AeroEye Asia is our ways to help them cut on cost and find solutions that are right on the dot. And to borrow the slogan of one of the Philippines' leading financial institutions, yes, "we find ways".
Safety is our number one concern with our operations. We are very honest with our limitations. We know when to say NO and we're really firm about it.
I am actually flattered that people are copying us! This is a sign that finally I'm in a business that everyone is seeing with big potentials! When I was starting, wala pang gaanong pumapansin sa akin noon.. They think my business was a joke.. Ngayong umaasenso na kami, umaasenso piloto ko, biglang "charang!", eto na ang mga "gaya-gaya"! Haha!
But unknowingly to them, "iniisip palang ng mga copy cats na ito, nagawa na namin"! Wala naman kasi sa gamit eh. Nasa ganda ng composition, quality ng output and dedication and passion to the business. Ikanga, "Wala sa Pana, Nasa Indian.". My aerial business is a product of marketing research and a good understanding and putting into practice the art of business acumen.
I am really proud of my team right now. We have the right mix of talents, abilities, skills and experience to make it all happen. I finally found the right partners who share my vision.
Thank you Lord Jesus for all your blessings and may 2012 be another fruitful year for AeroEye Asia! Amen!

Cebu!
Second location and take-off point we had to call-off the shoot since rain clouds suddenly appeared. Had lunch at the hotel and had Texan steak at Golden Prince. We tried resuming the aerial shoot around 4PM that same day but 4PM was too dark already in Cebu would you believe?!
The next day we had to leave early to do a takas shoot since the client had some concerns with securing a permit.. We were in and out of the area 15 minutes tops and was successful in executing the takas shots mission impossible style. Yes, we're that good. :-)
Next project site: SM City Consolacion. Just one flight and we're done as well. By 9AM Day 2, mission accomplished already. Lunch was a real treat, VP invited us to join him for lunch and we had bulalo, calamares, talaba, panga, lechon kawali and kilawin.
Mactan airport by 6PM. Flight back was unpleasant, the ATR's air-conditioning system wasn't working right and the FA in front wasn't smiling at and was so "taray" to everybody.. She must be having a bad day.
Important lesson learned from this trip:
Never choose ATR flights to and from Cebu! Flight time is much longer than via Airbus.

BGC Shoot
Tomorrow we leave for Cebu to do another aerial shot of Cebu Temple and a building built by our client.
Thank you Lord for the beautiful weather today! Looking forward to more beautiful sunny days ahead. :-)

Aerial Virtual 360° Tours
A few months back we hinted about launching this new service. Now that we have perfected our procedure in conducting such shoots, this is our answer to what my professor at the Asian Institute of Management would fondly say, "Make yourself obsolete, else others will".
This is perfect for real estate developers and marketers. From an aerial virtual perspective to an interior virtual tour of model units and facilities. Go ahead, check out the following links:
