Cordillera Express Padala

Our Moto: Were Better than Fed-Ex! We will deliver your relief goods to any place in the mountains! Overnight Delivery Guaranteed! :)


For the past few days we've been trying to maintain a supply chain to the more remote villages in Benguet. We need more volunteers since at the moment we are carrying close to 500 kilograms a day split between only 10-12 people. The terrain is rough and because of the slides we have had to reroute quite a bit making travel longer.

For those who would like to help out we also need portable solar panels to install in the remote villages so that we can maintain communication lines to be able to respond to their needs electricity won't be reconnected in these villages for at least 6 months to a year and we will need to give them a supply of power just to maintain communication.
Greenpeace has already donated 2 solar panels for other international NGOs this is also an opportunity to start fresh with green technology in the mountains sustainable off grid power is now the need in 99% of the villages in the remote areas of the Cordillera.

For International NGOs and those with means out there, we need cables and pulleys for construction of trams to make transport of sick and injured much easier as well as the transportation of much needed supplies and farm goods for sale -this will be a faster solution and less prone to slide damage than rebuilding the roads to the remote areas.
