2GO Palawan staff for example made sure  MV St. Francis of Xavier  vessel which was carrying relief supplies and cargo would  make it  to the province from Manila on December 18.

2GO Cebu meanwhile mobilized the purchasing, packaging and distribution of relief goods to its employees fellow colleagues.

The general cargo monitoring team was instrumental in making sure the relief goods and generation sets delivered by 2GO Special Containers and Value Added Services Inc. arrived a few days after the typhoon.

This meant successive days of continuous duty especially during the Christmas holidays for the timely distribution to the respective beneficiaries last December 31.
