Logistics provider 2GO Group Inc. has transported more than 17,000 donated books to 19 public schools in Culion, Palawan, through a partnership with Culion Foundation Inc. (CFI), supporting efforts to improve access to educational materials in the island municipality.
The delivery involved 17,239 books intended for elementary and high school students across Culion. The initiative forms part of CFI’s Education Program, which focuses on strengthening literacy, improving access to learning resources and advancing foundational education.
2GO used its nationwide transportation and logistics network to move the donated materials to the geographically dispersed community, demonstrating how logistics infrastructure can support the delivery of essential resources beyond major urban centers.
Frederic DyBuncio, 2GO president and chief executive officer, said the company’s role extends beyond commercial transportation services.
“At 2GO, we believe our role goes beyond providing transport and logistics solutions. By working with partners like the Culion Foundation, we leverage our nationwide reach to help address community needs and support education initiatives that create more opportunities for the next generation,” DyBuncio said.
He added that connecting the country also means ensuring more Filipinos can participate in and benefit from economic and social development.
Logistics partnership supports island education
Eugenio M. Caccam Jr., CFI executive director, said 2GO’s logistics support helped the foundation deliver donated books to public schools throughout Culion.
“Our partnership with 2GO has been instrumental in helping us bring donated books to public schools across Culion. Their logistics support demonstrates how the private sector can mobilize its core strengths to create collective community impact,” Caccam said.
He added that the collaboration aims to make learning materials more accessible and provide children with greater opportunities to learn and develop.
The project highlights the logistical challenges of distributing educational resources to island communities, where geographical separation and transportation requirements can complicate the movement of donated materials.
For 2GO, the initiative forms part of its efforts to apply its integrated transportation and logistics capabilities to community development programs.
The company operates sea freight, passenger travel, forwarding, express delivery, warehousing and specialized logistics services across the Philippines.
The Culion initiative demonstrates how private-sector logistics networks can complement education programs by helping ensure that donated resources reach their intended beneficiaries.
