“We are excited to partner with the Pasig City Local Government on efforts to boost e-commerce in the city. Our very first warehouse here in the Philippines was in Pasig City, so this truly is meaningful, and we look forward to helping Pasig’s micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises to help them become more competitive in a rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape,” said Lopez-Vergara.

“We are looking forward to harnessing synergies with Ninja Van to unlock opportunities for Pasigueños in the e-commerce sector. Afterall, it is not everyday that we see local government units collaborating with logistics and e-commerce players for policy development,” said Sotto.

Ninja Van Philippines’ partnership with the Pasig City Government is the company’s latest nation-building initiative made in collaboration with local and national government bodies. Ninja Van has been working with the Department of Trade and Industry for capacity building among micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises. Ninja Van Philippines also holds the distinction of being the first private courier partner of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.
