Entrepreneurs and corporate content creators are backing MOVE IT’s new brand promise “Keep Moving”, sharing a common sentiment during a panel discussion: they don’t have time to be stuck. Podcast host and lifestyle influencer Steph Zubiri and model-actor Phil Gomez spoke about how traffic can disrupt productivity and steal time from building both their work and personal lives. Zubiri shared, “For me it takes away peace of mind. Time for myself. Because no matter what, I will give 100% to everyone. 100% to my work, 100% to my kids, 100% to my partner, 100% to my parents. Matanda na rin parents ko. So actually, all my time goes to them. ‘Pag may traffic, I sacrifice myself.” “‘Pag nasa biyahe ka, ‘yung focus mo actually nade-drain na ko. Alam niyo ‘yung feeling na gusto mo na lumipad ‘yung sinasakyan mo para makarating ka on time. So pagdating mo na kung sa’n ka man, ubos na ‘yung energy mo. Actually, ang pinaka-ayaw ko doon is ‘yung late ako kasi as much as I value and respect my time, ganoon din ako sa ibang tao,” said Gomez.
