2GO Partners with Bankerohan to Deliver Fresh Davao Fruits Nationwide

2GO, the Philippines’ leading end-to-end logistics provider, has partnered with Bankerohan, Davao City’s largest wet market and the region’s main hub for fresh produce and seafood, to deliver said goods directly to customers nationwide.

With 2GO’s advanced logistics, including temperature-controlled transport, delivering fresh fruits from Davao to any part of the Philippines is now more convenient. Whether you’re sending a gift, enjoying Davao’s produce at home, or sourcing quality goods for your business, 2GO guarantees that every purchase from Bankerohan arrives fresh and in perfect condition.

“Partnering with 2GO will allow people and markets in other parts of the country to experience the unique offerings of Bankerohan as a source of fresh produce, starting with the abundant fruits and vegetables of Mindanao,” said Sim Marifori, President and CEO of Northbank Holdings Corporation, which operates Bankerohan.

He added, “With 2GO as our partner, farmers, traders, and merchants can ship directly from Bankerohan to destinations across the country, without incurring additional handling and trucking costs. This also shortens time-to-market—a critical factor for fresh produce—reducing the risk of bruising and spoilage.”

2GO’s extensive logistics network and expertise in handling perishable goods make it the ideal partner for Bankerohan, further supporting local businesses and celebrating Davao City’s rich agricultural heritage.

“We are thrilled to partner with Bankerohan to share Davao’s bountiful harvests with the rest of the Philippines,” said Faye Alonzo, Business Unit Head at 2GO Forwarding. “Our goal is to make these exceptional products accessible to everyone, allowing more Filipinos to enjoy the unique flavors that Davao has to offer.”

This partnership not only boosts the local economy but also ensures that the fruits of Davao City can be enjoyed by people all over the country, fresh and ready to eat.

2GO and FedEx Honor a Decade of Effortless Global Parcel Delivery from the Philippines

2GO uses FedEx’s global delivery network to send packages from the Philippines to over 220 countries.

In a cooperation that has lasted for ten years, 2GO, the leading logistics solutions provider in the country, and FedEx Philippines have linked Filipino packages to destinations all over the globe.

Mrs. Julie Santos, a 62-year-old mother from Bacolod, was to send a crucial document to her daughter in New York. These were necessary for her daughter’s employment record update; she is a nurse in a distant nation. In Bacolod, Julie dropped off her item at the SM Business Center, knowing that 2GO offers dependable international parcel delivery services through FedEx. I wanted a reliable, trustworthy, and easily-locatable courier, so I went with 2GO. I was even able to incorporate a fortunate charm bracelet that her sister had made. Mrs. Santos confirmed that her daughter’s apartment was the safe destination of the shipment within four days.

The archipelago now has easy access to FedEx services thanks to 2GO’s vast retail network, which includes nearly 3,000 outlets, including SM Business Centers, Alfamart, Waltermart, Fax Parcel and Print, and Savemore. This allows for the safe and quick delivery of important packages to loved ones abroad.

Thanks to 2GO and FedEx’s extensive global network of 220 countries, approximately 10,000 parcels are sent every month. This allows for the smooth transfer of goods and documents, guaranteeing delivery from the Philippines to countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

According to 2GO Group, Inc. President and CEO Frederic DyBuncio, “2GO Group values our collaboration with FedEx, which empowers Filipinos to expand their horizons.” This statement is in reference to the long-term partnership between the partners. We aren’t merely sending packages; we are offering chances by bridging the gap for local parcels, whether they are personal or business-related, across boundaries.

“Our goal is to create excellent experiences for our clients by making it easier and more convenient for them,” stated Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director of FedEx Philippines. To help e-tailers, SMEs, and solopreneurs stay competitive in the face of the expected expansion of e-commerce in the Asia Pacific region, it is essential to increase their entry points. As we commemorate our 40th anniversary in the Philippines, our partnership with 2GO serves as a prime example of how FedEx bridges gaps between individuals and opportunities.

With 895 2GO branches and partner sites across the country, clients may receive FedEx services with unprecedented ease and accessibility.

“I would like to thank my fans,” and so goes most, if not all, of the artists when it comes to the conversation of gratitude. True, talent is paramount; nothing is more magical than when the steady support system propels the source of expression into the consciousness of pop culture. From its early traces of diehard devotion in the stronghold of showbusiness to the modern iteration of the stan, as coined in the poetry of Mr. Marshall Mathers III (that’s Eminem to you), to the general public, the super fans have become the beating heart in the ecosystem of entertainment and, in effect, an unparalleled force to be reckoned with.

Growing from casual curiosity to passionate preference, the stories of the superfans are all familiar because, while realized in varying degrees of dedication, we are all devotees of something or, well, someone.

Enchanted Kingdom brings the biggest Parol in the country

Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, highlights the Filipino Christmas tradition through the launch of EK’s Giant Parol at the Agila Grounds last November 26, Sunday.

According to EK President and Chairman Mario Mamon, EK is committed to showcasing the Filipino Christmas tradition of parols and local festive decorations to bring nostalgia during the holiday season. “We are very excited to share with you the biggest parol in the Philippines!” It is our aspiration to provide a destination where families can create their enchanted Christmas stories,” Mr Mamon further explained.

EK tapped a renowned lantern maker from Pampanga, Eric Bondoc Quiwa, in the creation of the 22-foot parol installed at the Agila Grounds. This is the centerpiece of the theme park’s holiday events along with 100 parols around the park.

EK’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Cynthia R. Mamon shared that the making of the biggest parol is a three-week labor of love: from conceptualization and design, up to framing, welding, partitioning, installing the electrical components, and then lastly, finishing. It is illuminated by 1,700 LED lights and will have a daily show of lights every night at the park.

EK is also set to showcase their homegrown talents through their Christmas shows such as Christmas at The Kingdom (EK Story), Brooklyn Diaries: Oh Paskong Maligaya (OPM) and Eldar’s Christmas Parade featuring its storybook characters to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

The park is now open six times a week from Tuesday to Sunday, 11 AM to 8 PM. Starting December 18, the theme park will also open its gates every day, from 11 AM to 8 PM with extended hours on selected special holidays until January 7, 2024.
