OFW Complained About Rotted Cargo Contents Due to Delay On Delivery By A Cargo Company

Annoyance and dismay instead of joy. That's what a family felt after receiving their awaited cargo from their OFW relative abroad. Due to long time delay before the cargo was delivered, the items included in the cargo, especially food items are rotten and unusable.Rodante Roilan Jr., an OFW from Doha, Qatar, spent around P10,000 for the delivery of his "balikbayan box" to a cargo company where he entrusted the goods for his family back home.

Rollan went home Before Christmas, expecting that he will receive the package before New Year. But until Rollan has already left for work abroad, the family did not received the package. Four months after he left, his family received the package but their excitement was overturned by dismay when they opened the box and saw that what's inside the box were literally rotten and with maggots crawling inside and mud.

They sought the help of "Sumbungan ng Bayan", a segment on GMA News' 24 Oras hosted by Mr. Mike Enriquez. They immediately went to the office of DEEC Freight Forwarder and Logistics in their address in Muntinlupa City. 
DEEC is the local freight forwarding company of Pinoy Cargo in the Philippines. They are the company which delivered the box to Rollans family. They were not able to locate the company and they got an information that the cargo company transferred to their new office in Las Piñas. They went there looking for the new office of the complained cargo forwarder but to no avail.

DTI scheduled a dialogue between the complainant and the cargo company last May but the latter did not show up. Another wave of  a dialogue has been scheduled by the DTI.
If  DEEC or Pinoy Cargo was proven to commit violations, they would be blacklisted with fine up to P50,000 for lack of accreditation from DTI.
