Latest in Transport, Logistics to be Showcased at World Trade Center this August

The Transparency Market Research, a global market research firm, forecasted the Philippines' freight and logistics market to reach up to PHP3.26 trillion by 2023. True enough; the Filipino population is seeing this strong demand for storage facilities and warehouses especially for food, beverage, apparel, and other parcels.
