Despite the pandemic crisis, 2GO Travel said it continues to connect Manila to all the major ports in Visayas and Mindanao.
2GO Group is also engaged in the cargo business through its brand 2GO Freight.
The listed company鈥檚 freight revenue for the first half of the year hit P1.58 billion, up 15.3% from P1.37 billion in the same period a year ago.
Meanwhile, travel revenue dropped 68.6% to P221.84 million from P706.50 million in the same period last year.
鈥淕iven the restricted mobility in and out of the country and the curtailed economic activities affecting demand not only in the Philippines but in other countries, 2GO experienced a decline and gradual recovery in sales/revenue volumes as aforementioned quarantine measures were slowly relaxed,鈥 2GO said in its second-quarter report. 鈥 Arjay L.
