Total logistics provider 2GO Express said Saturday it has deployed all vote counting machines (VCMs), official ballots and non-accountable forms within schedule and based on agreed timelines with Commission on Elections (Comelec) officials nationwide.
Delivering by air, land and sea, thousands of 2GO Express drivers and delivery personnel worked round-the-clock to ensure that all election paraphernalia are delivered to more than 92,000 precincts nationwide before millions of Filipinos troop to their respective polling places on Monday, 2GO Express said in a statement.
Still being deployed as of press time are contingency (back-up) VCMs and BGANs (Broadband Global Area Network satellite communications kits), additional thermal paper and Comelec election shirts.
“The management and staff of 2GO Express are honored to be partners of Comelec in this historic national elections. We’re also proud of our patriotic contribution in deploying election materials to ensure that Filipinos can exercise their sovereign right to choose the country’s leaders,” 2GO Express General Manager Randolph Arroyo said.
The joint venture of 2GO Express and 2GO Logistics was awarded the contract as Comelec’s total logistics provider for the 2016 polls. The contract covers the country’s 17 regions. During the 2013 elections, the firm also won the logistics contract for the Visayas.
Both 100-percent Filipino companies, 2GO Express and 2GO Logistics are part of the 2GO Group, Inc., the largest premier logistics firm in the Philippines. 2GO Express provides express document, parcel and cargo delivery service nationwide and also serves more than 200 international destinations.
