I am relocating back to the Philippines in a few months and found this review. Manila Forwarder is the only Filipino-owned company that I know that ships household goods to the Philippines. I have heard of stories and blogs about shipping with other US company that is not familiar with the Philippine shipping. At least with Manila Forwarder, most of their staff are Filipinos and they have their own office all over the Philippines.
I personally went to their Los Angeles, CA office and see for myself this company and it appears very knowledgable and professional. I also checked their certificates of accreditation that is posted on thier office walls.
I found the employees very friendly. Their Manager, Miss Arbulante, also a Filipina, is very accommodating and smart. I received a lot of pointers from her compared to other companies that I contacted before.
I will ship my household goods with Manila Forwarder and I will give feedback afterwards.
