Several Filipinos expressed gratitude to delivery service, Borzo Philippines, previously MrSpeedy, after it announced that it will be exiting the Philippine market by the end of this month.

Borzo assured its clients that it is open to addressing concerns before it ends operations in the country.

“After five years of dedicated service, Borzo Philippines is exiting the Philippine market as of January 31st, 2024,” it said in an announcement on Facebook.

“While this may be a surprise, the decision was made with careful consideration of the business landscape. We’re committed to a smooth transition and are here to address any concerns during this period,” it added.
