Airspeed Empowers Cultural Heritage and Entrepreneurship: Supports the 1st Langkit Festival

MARAWI CITY – Airspeed, a leading logistics company dedicated to building businesses, empowering communities, and nurturing lives, proudly announces its partnership with the City Government of Marawi for the 1st Langkit Festival. This significant event, held during the city's charter celebration, is also supported by the Bangsamoro Commission for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (BCPCH) and renowned product designer Chris Gomez. The initiative marks a milestone in the 84th Marawi City Charter Day celebration, emphasizing the importance of cultural heritage and community development.


The Langkit Exhibit 2024 showcases the intricate art of langkit weaving, a traditional craft passed down through generations in Marawi. Known for its detailed and complex designs, langkit weaving reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Meranaw people. By celebrating the beauty and complexity of langkit products, the exhibit aims to revitalize Meranaw culture and promote sustainable livelihoods for local weavers.

The exhibit, which ran until August 16, provides a unique opportunity for visitors to appreciate the artistry and heritage of langkit weaving. The event features a variety of langkit products, each telling a story of tradition, skill, and cultural pride.



In line with its commitment to supporting local communities and promoting sustainable livelihoods, Airspeed also introduces the Pinaspeed SME program. This initiative aims to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines grow and thrive. As part of this partnership, Airspeed provided free product shoot, and post products created by Marawi artists on www.kh-ph.com, and release ads for free. By helping artists widen their market reach through digitalization and ensuring the delivery of orders, Airspeed demonstrates its dedication to offering support and growth opportunities to its stakeholders. This initiative aligns with Airspeed's mission to empower local communities and promote economic development.

The Langkit Exhibit 2024 is a testament to the enduring legacy of Maranaw craftsmanship and the power of community collaboration. As Filipinos explore the online exhibit, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and supporting local communities. (PR)
