The partnership aims to boost market visibility for regional micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by featuring their OTOP products in dedicated kiosks onboard 2GO Travel vessels. This initiative transforms every voyage into a showcase of regional flavors, craftsmanship, and Filipino pride.

The collaboration officially launches with OTOP products from Region 12 as the first to be featured under the Biyahe2Business program. A special OTOP nook will be installed onboard MV 2GO Masinag, highlighting accredited products in partnership with the local DTI office. More OTOP displays from other regions will soon be available on additional 2GO vessels.

This initiative supports DTI’s Supply Chain and Logistics Center (SCLC), a platform that provides real-time logistics information, market linkages, and capacity-building programs for MSMEs.

“This collaboration allows DTI regional offices to bring and promote their products across islands through creative and practical logistics solutions,” said DTI-12 Regional Director and DTI-RAPID Growth Project National Director Flora D.

With this program, 2GO bridges the gap between local entrepreneurs and wider markets, ensuring that Filipino-made products can travel as far and as proudly as the people who create them.

“This partnership underscores our long-term commitment to help small businesses thrive by providing flexible, affordable, and reliable transport solutions,” said Francis John Chua, Business Unit Head for 2GO Travel. “With our generous 50KG luggage allowance, SMEs can move their products and supplies more freely across islands. This advantage supports their growth and reach. At 2GO, we believe sea travel is not only about connecting destinations, but also about connecting communities, celebrating culture, and enabling commerce. Through this initiative, we bring the best of every region to more Filipinos.”

Beyond showcasing local products, 2GO Travel, as DTI’s official travel and logistics partner, will offer group tour packages and exclusive MSME travel discounts. These programs will provide cost-effective and dependable mobility solutions for entrepreneurs.

2GO Moves The Mind Museum’s Mind Rover to Puerto Princesa

Tweet

The Mind Rover travels to Palawan via 2GO.

2GO, the Philippines’ largest logistics and sea travel provider, has once again partnered with The Mind Museum to bring the wonders of science closer to the islands. This time, the collaboration takes the Mind Rover to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

As part of this initiative, and ahead of the Mind Rover’s arrival in Palawan, passengers aboard MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier sailing from Manila to Puerto Princesa and Coron over the weekend enjoyed a series of exciting, science-themed activities onboard. Curated by The Mind Museum, these interactive sessions brought STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) learning to life. They turn sea travel into a fun, meaningful, and enriching experience for both kids and adults onboard.

This unique initiative brought logistics and learning together to move not just people and goods but also spark curiosity and imagination across the sea.

“We are thrilled to partner with 2GO. Through its shipping capabilities, the Mind Rover gets to visit provinces in the Philippines where it would have taken weeks if traveled by land and would have been difficult to transport without 2GO’s direct link from Manila. Through this partnership, we are able to impact more communities and hopefully encourage more kids to have an inspired engagement and view of science or maybe, even take up STEM in the future. We even get to reach more audiences as we also do science shows on board 2GO!,” said Maria Isabel Garcia, Managing Director and Curator of The Mind Museum.

Now on its third leg, the Mind Rover has successfully crossed Philippine seas through 2GO, following activations in Bacolod and General Santos. It now reaches Puerto Princesa with the same mission: to reimagine science, make it more exciting, and spark inspiration among Filipino children to become the country’s next generation of scientists and innovators.

"We are delighted to be part of this meaningful partnership. It is an honor to bring science closer to Filipino families through a unique onboard experience. By mounting the Mind Rover exhibit aboard our ships, in partnership with The Mind Museum, we’re creating a space for families to explore themes of sea travel, sustainability, and basic science while in transit. We believe that part of appreciating sea travel is understanding how it works — and through this experience, we hope to spark curiosity, awareness, and a deeper connection with our oceans," said Francis Chua, Business Unit Head of 2GO Travel.

The Mind Rover is a 12-meter museum-on-wheels packed with interactive and hands-on exhibits, and live science shows and demonstrations. It continues to fulfill its mission of bringing science beyond museum walls and into underserved island communities. The Puerto Princesa leg is the latest in a growing series of island activations made possible through collaborations like this.

With operations across 19 ports nationwide and a firm commitment to moving communities forward, 2GO’s partnership with The Mind Museum underscores its role not just as a logistics provider, but as a bridge to learning, creativity, and nation-building.

This collaboration reflects the power of purposeful partnerships in delivering meaningful, mind-moving experiences both at sea and on land.
