FAST Logistics Group, a leading end-to-end logistics company, has teamed up with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region IV-A to generate jobs for beneficiaries of the government’s flagship poverty alleviation program, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
The initiative, signed through a memorandum of agreement (MOA), supports the government’s efforts to provide sustainable jobs and uplift low-income families, while also helping address the organization’s growing manpower needs.
The agreement was signed by FAST chief executive for logistics Manuel Onrejas Jr. and DSWD Region IV-A regional director Barry Chua.
“Our commitment to providing Logistics Para Sa Bayan not only involves moving goods from Point A to Point B, but also moving lives forward and uplifting Filipino communities,” said Onrejas.
“With our partnership with DSWD IV-A, we empower 4Ps beneficiaries with stable employment and growth opportunities,” he said.
Under the agreement, FAST will prioritize qualified 4Ps beneficiaries in its recruitment efforts. The company committed to ensuring that all new hires benefit from decent, safe and inclusive workplaces aligned with labor laws and social protection standards.
FAST said it would hold an exclusive job fair for 4Ps beneficiaries in Laguna on Nov. 12, offering opportunities in logistics operations, particularly warehousing and other key business functions.
The collaboration also includes joint advocacy programs and job placement initiatives designed to strengthen employment outcomes for 4Ps beneficiaries across CALABARZON.
With more than 12,000 employees nationwide and an average of 300 new hires weekly, FAST remains one of the country’s largest providers of stable and long-term employment. Its integrated logistics solutions—covering transportation, warehousing, ColdChain and value-added services—serve many of the nation’s top companies.
The 4Ps is the government’s flagship poverty alleviation program that provides conditional cash grants to low-income households. Access to stable employment is crucial for beneficiaries as they transition out of the program, helping them maintain financial independence and stability.
