LOGISTICS Company 2GO, together with the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc (DCCCII), held a business forum on March 19 to strengthen the island’s economic growth and maritime transport.

The business forum series “Advancing Mindanao’s Inclusive Growth,” held in Davao City, aims to connect local suppliers, producers, and manufacturers with markets in the Visayas and Luzon, as well as international markets.

In her opening remarks, Ethel Concepcion, 2GO Group Inc. corporate marketing and communications head, said that Davao City has been one of the region’s most dynamic economic centers by its strength in agriculture, food production, trade and services that continue to support the supply chains across the Philippines.

According to MinDA undersecretary Janet Lopoz, Mindanao has a high logistics cost of around 30.32% of total sales, based on a joint study by the agency and the World Bank.

Named the “Philippines’ Food Basket,” Mindanao comprises 36% of the country’s farmland and contributes to 42% of the national food trade.

The growth drivers are power and renewable energy, IT-BPO (Business Process Outsourcing), agribusiness, transport and logistics, manufacturing, and services (tourism, hotels, restaurants), buoyed by a population of 27 million.

DCCCII also has strategic initiatives and growth plans as part of the partnership that focus on enterprise development and innovation, market access and export growth, and data-driven decision making, along with key actions set for the first quarter of 2026.

Last year, 2GO launched Davao to Cebu in Jun 2025 to boost tourism, trade, and connectivity in Visayas and Mindanao. The company also kicked off the Davao to Iloilo route, including other routes in Mindanao, such as Cagayan to Bacolod and Batangas to Caticlan.

LOGISTICS company 2GO is exploring additional sea routes as part of its expansion efforts to further connect Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon while strengthening cargo and passenger transport for businesses and travelers.

During the Habi at Kape forum on Wednesday, Christina Alconcel, 2GO Forwarding senior business development manager, shared that thy are currently studying possible new routes to expand their network.

Although the plan is still in the development stage, 2GO expects to improve cargo movement and accessibility for businesses across the country once implemented.

2GO earlier launched routes connecting Davao to Cebu, Manila, General Santos, and Iloilo, which helped small and medium enterprises (SMEs) transport goods, particularly agricultural products, at more affordable rates.

Each passenger ticket also allows up to 55 kilograms of free cargo, providing additional support to small-scale traders and business owners transporting their products.

“We are still looking into additional routes. It’s still on the drawing board and in the planning stage, but it would really be helpful for businesses once these plans move forward,” Alconcel said.

Aside from the existing routes, the company also recently launched a route connecting Manila to Siargao in November, which now docks directly at Dapa Port, making travel and cargo transport more convenient for both tourists and businesses by eliminating additional transfers from nearby ports.

Alconcel added that expanding the routes aims to make transportation more accessible and cost-efficient for businesses, particularly those shipping goods from Mindanao to markets in the Visayas and Luzon.

She emphasized that the company continues to work with business groups and government agencies to promote their services and study future routes, with the goal of strengthening trade, tourism, and logistics connections across the country.

Under this partnership, LBC will handle last-mile delivery for Kimstore.com, ensuring customers receive their orders with greater speed, security, and reliability.

The collaboration comes at a crucial time for the Philippine e-commerce market, which is projected to reach USD 16.75 billion in 2025. With mobile-first shopping, live selling, and the growing demand for faster services driving the boom, logistics remains a key challenge across the country’s islands.

Kimstore, on the other hand, has long been a trailblazer in Philippine digital retail.

With its authenticity guarantee, competitive pricing, and personalized customer service, Kimstore has built a loyal following that has solidified its position as the country’s leading online electronics and lifestyle store.

“Partnering with LBC is a natural fit for Kimstore,” said Kim Lato, founder and CEO of Kimstore. “Both of our brands are pioneers in our industries, and we share the same commitment to trust and reliability. At Kimstore, our mission has always been to make technology more accessible. With LBC, whose mantra is ‘We Like To Move It’, every order is moved with care and dedication. Together, we create a seamless journey from browsing online to unboxing at home.”

By bringing together LBC’s leadership in logistics and Kimstore’s pioneering role in digital retail, the partnership sets a new benchmark for e-commerce in the Philippines: faster, more reliable, and more accessible service for Filipino consumers nationwide.

In a disclosure to the stock exchange, LBC said service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reached ₱6.98 billion, compared with ₱7.13 billion in the same period of 2024. Despite the slight dip, gross profit climbed 6 percent to ₱1.63 billion, driven by a 4-percent reduction in service costs and sustained demand across its logistics and money service lines.

Operating income improved 19 percent year-on-year to ₱393.8 million, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 3 percent to ₱562.4 million. Operating expenses grew modestly by 3 percent to ₱1.24 billion.

Logistics continued to anchor LBC’s performance, delivering 97 percent of first-half revenues, or ₱6.75 billion. Retail services contributed 67 percent, while corporate solutions accounted for 30 percent. Money services generated the remaining 3 percent, or ₱232 million. On a geographic basis, domestic operations brought in 61 percent of revenues, with the remaining 39 percent coming from LBC’s international network.

“We are on track and delivering even better results,” the company said. “Over nearly 75 years in business, we have faced our share of challenges, but each one has made us stronger. This recovery shows that our strategy is working, and we’re ready to build on this momentum for the years ahead,” said Enrique V. Rey Jr., LBC’s chief finance officer.

Founded in 1950, LBC has grown from a small courier service in Manila to one of the country’s largest logistics, freight, and remittance networks. The company said it will continue to invest in technology, expand its reach, and strengthen its service portfolio as part of its vision to serve communities worldwide for decades to come.
