MANILA, Philippines, October 2026 – Beyond moving people and goods across the country, 2GO is spotlighting the diverse career paths available within the transportation and logistics industry through its participation in the recent JobStreet Virtual Job Fair.

As the Philippines' largest integrated transportation and logistics solutions provider, 2GO operates across a broad range of business functions, including freight forwarding, warehousing, supply chain operations, technology, and corporate services. 


Through the event, 2GO highlights the people, capabilities and culture that enable an integrated business to serve communities, support enterprises, and connect markets across the country. “Behind every shipment delivered, every journey completed, and every business we help serve are people whose work keeps the country moving. At 2GO, we are committed to fostering a workplace where people feel valued, inspired, and empowered to move the nation forward,” said Edcel Francia, Senior Manager of 2GO HR Recruitment.


The initiative highlights the importance of talent in sustaining the transportation and logistics sector. As businesses depend on efficient supply chains and reliable connectivity to reach markets and customers, professionals across operations, technology, customer service, sales, and other functions play an essential role in keeping goods and services moving.


With approximately 1,800 employees across operational, technical, and corporate functions, 2GO's workforce reflects the range of various expertise required to support an integrated transportation and logistics network. Roles in cross-docking, warehousing, operations, and vessel management help ensure the efficient movement of goods, while teams in software development, finance, business intelligence, and marketing support business performance and innovation.


The initiative also generated strong engagement among jobseekers interested in the transportation and logistics sector. Recruitment campaign data from JobStreet showed 597 completed applications during the promotional period, a 21% increase from the pre-promotion run rate, while job views rose by 12%.


The need to develop a skilled workforce extends beyond the requirements of individual organizations and reflects broader industry priorities. The World Bank’s 2026 report, Ports, Ships, and Fuels: Maritime Efficiency, Safety, and Sustainability in East Asia and the Pacific identifies maritime transport as a driver of employment and economic growth, emphasizing the need to improve operational efficiency, strengthen safety, and equip workers with the skills needed for a changing industry. 


For the Philippines, an archipelagic nation whose communities and businesses rely on maritime connectivity and logistics networks, these priorities underscore the importance of developing skilled professionals across vessel and port operations, supply chain management, and technology.


By raising awareness of the diverse roles that support transportation and logistics, 2GO contributes to broader conversations on workforce development in a sector that plays a vital role in trade, mobility, and economic growth. As the industry continues to evolve, building a skilled and resilient workforce remains essential to keeping communities, businesses, and opportunities connected across the Philippines.


Through these engagements, 2GO continues to connect Filipinos with meaningful career opportunities while helping build the talent pipeline needed to support the country's growing transportation, maritime, and logistics sectors – with every role contributing to the company’s mission of keeping the Philippines connected.

MANILA, Philippines, October 2026 — Ahead of the holiday travel season, 2GO Travel highlights the preparations behind every voyage, reinforcing its commitment as a reliable travel partner for safe and comfortable journeys. At 2GO Travel, every voyage begins with a continuous commitment to safety. 


From training crew members and inspecting safety equipment to assessing vessel readiness and securing the necessary clearances, a series of measures takes place behind the scenes before every ship departs. 


Through Before We Sail, 2GO Travel highlights five key practices that help support safe and dependable journeys for travelers across its passenger network.


1. Building readiness through regular crew drills


Safety begins with a well-prepared crew. Regular drills give 2GO personnel opportunities to practice emergency response procedures, strengthen coordination, and reinforce their individual responsibilities onboard.


These exercises help foster a culture where safety is a shared responsibility, and readiness remains a priority every day.


2. Inspecting safety facilities and equipment


Alongside crew preparedness, 2GO routinely inspects safety facilities and equipment onboard its vessels to help ensure their condition and operational readiness.


These inspections support emergency preparedness and help identify any items requiring attention before a vessel sets sail.


3. Conducting vessel checks before every journey


Preparations continue even after a ship completes its voyage. Following arrival and ahead of departure, technical teams carry out routine deck, engine, and bearing inspections to assess the vessel's condition and readiness for its next trip.


These assessments help keep vessels operating safely and efficiently for passengers and crew alike.


4. Screening baggage and cargo brought onboard


Passenger safety also extends to everything carried aboard the vessel.


As part of standard operating procedures, baggage and cargo undergo screening before loading to help manage potential risks and contribute to a secure onboard environment.


5. Securing the required departure clearances


Before leaving port, 2GO works closely with the Philippine Coast Guard to complete the required inspections and obtain the necessary departure clearances.


A vessel departs only after receiving the required approval, providing an additional layer of oversight before every sailing.


A Shared Commitment to Safe Travel


These five practices form part of 2GO Travel's ongoing commitment to passenger safety. With 2GO Travel's strict measures in place, the company works to ensure every voyage begins with safety at the forefront, giving passengers greater confidence every time they sail.


Passengers also play an important role in maintaining a safe onboard environment. Travelers are encouraged to pay attention to safety briefings, familiarize themselves with emergency exits and life jacket locations, and approach crew members for assistance.


As families prepare to reunite and travel home this holiday season, 2GO Travel continues the work behind every journey, preparing its people, maintaining its vessels, and carrying out the measures that help passengers sail with confidence.

 The trail has a way of redefining what makes a run worth the distance. It is not always about the fastest pace or the shortest time. Sometimes, it is about making the climb, finding your route, knowing when to push, when to recover, and taking in the view along the way.


Because on the trail, where your run matters almost as much as how you run. Cordillera Mountain (CMU) is an annual trail-running event in Benguet that brings runners across the Cordillera’s challenging mountain terrain, offering distances for both seasoned trail runners and those discovering the sport. More than a race, it has become a gathering point for the country’s growing trail-running community, bringing runners together to experience the Cordillera’s challenging terrain and the sport’s unique culture.


It is this spirit that brings Samsung and Cordillera Mountain Ultra (CMU) together, with Samsung coming on board as the Official Watch Partner of the trail-running event. Through Trail with Galaxy, the partnership brings the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 into an environment where performance, preparation, and resilience matter, and where technology can help runners make more informed decisions on the trail. For CMU, bringing more people outdoors has always been at the heart of the work.


“Our goal is to bring more people outdoors. For the last two decades, that has been our advocacy and main driver of our work. This partnership with Samsung and the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 allows us to broaden this advocacy while utilizing the best possible technology for exploring and adventuring in the outdoors,” said JP Alipio, Organizer, Cordillera Mountain Ultra


Built for the demands of the trail

Made for adventures beyond the pavement, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 combines dual-frequency GPS, Trail Run Mode, and GPX route guidance to help runners navigate their route and track key performance data, including elevation, climbing progress, and pace. 


Built to keep up with the environment, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 features a rugged titanium body, IP69K and 10ATM ratings, and an up to 5,000-nit display, while its 800mAh battery supports longer adventures. For runners taking on challenging trails, it also offers Nutrition Alert to provide hydration guidance based on estimated sweat loss, helping runners stay attuned to the demands of their effort.


Together, these capabilities make the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 a natural companion for Trail with Galaxy, giving runners a clearer view of the trail ahead while keeping them connected to their route, performance, and what it takes to go further. Because sometimes, the real measure of technology is not what it can track, but what it helps you experience.


“Technology is most meaningful when people can see how it supports the moments and pursuits that matter to them. That is why we are bringing the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 into the trail-running community, where runners can put its capabilities to the test as they prepare, move, explore, and recover. Through our partnership with Cordillera Mountain Ultra, we hope to support more Filipinos as they take on new challenges, and pursue the passions that keep them moving,” said Jun Guevara, Director, Head of Corporate Marketing, Samsung Electronics Philippines. 


Bringing Trail with Galaxy to the community

The partnership extends beyond race day through community sessions and trail experiences designed to make trail running more accessible to a wider community. Through opportunities to learn from experienced runners, connect with fellow trail enthusiasts, and experience Galaxy technology in the outdoors, Samsung and CMU aim to encourage more Filipinos to discover the trail and build the confidence to take it on.


From those discovering the trail for the first time to seasoned runners looking to take on more challenging routes, the partnership aims to make the trail more accessible while encouraging runners to explore, move, and go further with confidence. With Trail with Galaxy, Samsung Philippines and Cordillera Mountain Ultra invite more runners to experience what lies beyond it, with the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 built for the extreme and ready for the trail. 


For those ready to discover what lies beyond the road, registration for Cordillera Mountain Ultra is open until November 30, 2026. Interested runners can visit the CMU registration site for race details and registration information.
