As the southwest monsoon continues to impact the country, Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, is taking a proactive approach to provide logistics assistance in delivering relief goods to affected Filipinos in Metro Manila, Central and North Luzon.
Lalamove is working closely with government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) by providing multiple trucks to reach various evacuation centers and barangays.
Lalamove provided trucks to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to assist in transporting 70,000 family food packs, which will be distributed to the affected communities of Pampanga, Zambales, and Bataan.
Meanwhile, Angat Buhay also received truck assistance to deliver 7,000 liters of clean drinking water to be distributed in evacuation centers in different barangays in Metro Manila.
Lalamove also assisted relief programs spearheaded by media outlets like DZRH to help deliver hot meals to evacuation centers in Valenzuela and Marikina, as well as Punto Central Luzon, which helped deliver relief goods and clothes to about 100 flooded farmers in Nueva Ecija.
Additionally, Lalamove provided trucks to Eat Bulaga to help them deliver sacks of rice to the affected barangays in the CAMANAVA areas, Marikina, and Bulacan.
Djon Nacario, Managing Director of Lalamove Philippines, highlighted the importance of being proactive in reaching out to stakeholders to assist in relief operations during the typhoon or habagat season.
“As a delivery platform, we are committed to going beyond our responsibility and being at the forefront of providing logistics assistance to many NGOs and government agencies, to help them deliver donations and relief assistance to communities not just in Metro Manila but also in affected areas of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Nueva Ecija,” he stated.
“With this initiative, we aim to help affected Filipino communities recover safely by helping move things that matter to them,” he added. “Our doors are open for those who need logistics assistance to execute their relief efforts.”
