LBC Gives a Thumbs Up to
WeatherPhilippines – A Mobile App For Preparation and Safety
As summer is fast approaching, almost
everybody is gearing up for a vacation with family or friends. But while some
things can be planned like itinerary, transportation, and budget, one thing
that we can never plan is the weather. Good thing there is now an available app
to give us a weather forecast -- the WeatherPhilippines! This app is being
supported by LBC, country’s leading cargo and logistics company, which has gone
a step beyond their services to ensure that the Filipinos are informed,
assisted and safeguarded at the same time. With just a quick download and click of
the app, you will be able to get accurate weather forecasts for different
locations in the Philippines. Operating with around 800 automated weather
stations across the country, some of which are installed in selected LBC
branches,, WeatherPhilippines gives the public a detailed weather forecast and
enables the user to track typhoons and even determines which areas will be most
affected. Colors and warnings based on world meteorological standards are used
in the app to make the weather warnings more apparent to the user. The labels
are also customizable per AWS site and provides an easy overview of the weather
data of a specified location. The great thing about the
WeatherPhilippines app is that it is FREE and the information derived from it
can be shared via email and social media. The Aboitiz Group, which developed the
app in partnership with UnionBank, clarifies that WeatherPhilippines is simply
the private sector’s counterpart to PAGASA which supplies the official weather
data for the country. Working with LBC to support this
initiative are SM Supermalls, ICTSI, Vista Land, NickelAsia, the Ayala Group
and La Filipina Uy Gongco Corporation. The WeatherPhilippines app is available
for download in both AppStore and PlayStore. LBC is the Philippines’ market leader in retail and corporate courier
& cargo, money remittance, and logistics services. With a growing network
of over 6,400 branches, hubs & warehouses, partners, and agents in over 30
countries, LBC is committed to moving lives, businesses, and communities and
