Why it matters:
The San Juanico Bridge serves as a critical land link between Samar and Leyte. With ongoing rehabilitation and some areas placed under a state of calamity, logistics operators are scrambling to ensure continuity of goods movement throughout Eastern Visayas and adjacent regions.
What’s happening:
2GO has scaled up its roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) and sea freight services to serve key logistics hubs such as Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Davao, and General Santos, moving around 5,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) and trucks weekly.
“While the rehabilitation of the San Juanico Bridge presents challenges for land transport, we’re doing our part to ease pressure on supply chains through reliable, fast, and more frequent sea connectivity,” said Sharon Musngi-Ngo, 2GO Sea Solutions Business Unit head.
The big picture:
2GO’s multimodal approach—integrating sea, land, and air transport—allows clients to reroute cargo and bypass affected road networks. The company also provides cold chain, warehousing, and cross-docking services, giving businesses the flexibility to adapt amid logistical disruption.
What they’re saying:
“Beyond providing reliable service, we take pride in playing a meaningful role in supporting economic activity and helping our nation move forward,” said 2GO Group CEO Frederic DyBuncio.
Between the lines:
2GO, part of SM Investments Corp., is leveraging its national network and infrastructure to maintain delivery timelines and support industries ranging from retail and agriculture to manufacturing and pharmaceuticals .
