2GO Receives Mega Gold Legacy Award During Mega Prime Foods’ 50th Anniversary

2GO, the country’s leading provider of shipping and freight logistics, was honored with the Mega Gold Legacy Award by Mega Prime Foods Inc. during the company’s 50th anniversary celebration. The recognition highlights 2GO’s long-standing partnership and vital role in supporting Mega Prime Foods’ nationwide operations and continued growth.

For years, 2GO has enabled the efficient and reliable movement of Mega Prime Foods’ products and supplies through its comprehensive sea freight and logistics network. With operations anchored in major ports across the country, 2GO ensures dependable connectivity that supports Mega Prime Foods’ distribution channels and supply chain continuity.

“Being recognized by Mega Prime Foods Inc. as one of their most supportive logistics partners is an incredible honor,” said Sharon Musngi-Ngo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Sea Solutions. “This award affirms our shared commitment to delivering quality and consistency, and it inspires us to continue providing reliable shipping and logistics solutions that help fuel the success of our partners.”

Currently, 2GO facilitates the movement of goods to and from Zamboanga, a key logistics point for Mega Prime Foods, through weekly, day-definite sailings via its RORO vessels. With a 32-hour transit time—considered the shortest and most competitive in the Philippine maritime shipping industry—2GO ensures timely and efficient transport of goods, supporting Mega Prime Foods’ distribution in the region and reinforcing its commitment to delivering quality food products across the country.

2GO operates regular freight voyages connecting Manila to Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, and General Santos, among other strategic locations, with multiple sailings each week to ensure consistent supply chain performance. Specifically, 2GO sails between Manila and Cebu four times weekly, Manila and Cagayan de Oro five times weekly, and twice weekly for both the Manila–Davao and Manila–General Santos routes, enabling steady cargo movement along the country’s key logistics corridors.

Beyond sea transport, 2GO delivers scalable logistics solutions that support the full supply chain. These include cold chain logistics, cross-docking, and nationwide warehousing—critical services that ensure business continuity, especially during infrastructure-related disruptions.

This recognition reflects 2GO’s alignment with Mega Prime Foods’ mission of delivering high-quality, affordable food products to Filipino families. By ensuring reliable transportation, resilient supply chains, and consistent nationwide distribution, 2GO empowers businesses to thrive and communities to be better served.

2GO Forges Partnership with Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP)

 

L-R: Ethel Concepcion, 2GO Group Head of Corporate Marketing and Communications; Faye Alonzo, 2GO Forwarding Business Unit Head; Edmund Araga, EVAP President; Jeun Barlis, Research Consultant – EVAP.

2GO, the country’s largest end-to-end multimodal transportation and logistics solutions provider, has signed a partnership with the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), reinforcing its commitment to advancing electric mobility and sustainable transport across the country.

As a sea freight provider, 2GO already offers a more environmentally friendly alternative for long-haul logistics, helping reduce carbon emissions while transporting goods. Building on this advantage, 2GO has begun equipping its vessels with electric vehicle (EV) charging capabilities to further support the movement of EVs nationwide. Notably, MV 2GO Masikap and MV 2GO Masinag have been retrofitted to support EV transport, with plans to extend this capability to more ships in the fleet.

2GO is among the few transportation and logistics companies in the Philippines to integrate EV charging infrastructure into its sea freight services. These vessels currently operate on key routes, including Manila–Davao–General Santos–Iloilo and Manila–Cebu–Manila, providing vital logistical support for EV distribution across strategic regions.

“We are excited to be EVAP’s official logistics partner in pushing for greener roads,” said Faye Alonzo, 2GO Forwarding Business Unit Head. “With our reliable capabilities, we ensure the safe and efficient delivery of electric vehicles across the Philippines. The growing demand for EVs in key cities where we operate—particularly Cebu and Davao—highlights our strategic role in supporting this transition.”

EVAP, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the adoption of battery electric vehicles in the Philippines, views the partnership as a key step toward making EVs more accessible across the archipelago.

“It is crucial for us to embrace electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in urban areas like Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao,” said Edmund Araga, EVAP President. “Having a reliable logistics partner like 2GO is essential to ensuring the nationwide availability and support of EVs.”

As of April 2025, Metro Manila hosts more than 74 EV charging points across 18 key areas, with plans to expand to nearly 100 by year-end.

2GO maintains regular sailings from Manila to Cebu four times weekly, and to Davao and General Santos twice weekly, ensuring dependable schedules and consistent service for the transportation and distribution of goods nationwide.
