Local know-how
What to know before you go
Supply chain and logistics in Manila and Cebu
The Philippines is made up of thousands of islands, so almost every shipment depends on ports, ferries and flights. Metro Manila, the capital region, is the country's main gateway for international cargo and flights.
Cebu plays a different role. It is known as a hub for shipping between the islands of the Visayas, so shipping lines, freight forwarders and distributors there handle goods moving from island to island. Online shopping also means more parcels to track and deliver. As an intern, you might help with tracking, scheduling and supplier follow-up. If you want to learn how goods move across island chains, this is a good market to learn in. Tell your career advisor if you prefer planning, procurement or data, and we'll aim to match you with a host company that fits.
