Balikbayan boxes means something for Filipinos, particularly Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), serving as tangible expressions of love, care, and support for their families back home. These balikbayan boxes are filled with items, ranging from essentials to sentimental gifts, symbolizing the strong familial bonds and the sacrifices made by OFWs to provide for their loved ones. For many Filipinos, receiving a balikbayan box is not just about the contents but also about the emotional connection and sense of belonging it fosters, making it an integral part of Filipino culture and tradition.
Recognizing the importance of ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of balikbayan boxes, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has implemented a stringent accreditation scheme for sea freight forwarders. These accredited companies are listed by the DTI, signifying that they meet the minimum requirements for legal operation and uphold standards of quality service, resources, and expertise.
