Duty Free Philippines Accelerates Digital Innovation with SpeedRegalo Partnership, Led by E-Retail Visionaries

Duty Free Philippines Corporation (DFPC) is spearheading a new era in travel retail, signing a 2025 milestone partnership renewal with top-tier e-commerce platform SpeedRegalo. This partnership is powered by SpeedRegalo’s dynamic leadership—Jake Go and Mickey Gonzaga—and on the Duty Free side, by COO Patrick Cinco and Store Operations Director Leo Martinez. The collaboration embodies a bold commitment to digital transformation, reimagining the shopping experience for balikbayans, OFWs, and global travelers.

What began as a straightforward pre-order and airport pickup service in 2018 has now matured—thanks to SpeedRegalo’s robust technology backbone—into a seamless, fully online platform at shop.dutyfree.gov.ph. Returning Filipinos and international visitors can now browse a curated selection of duty-free products, including luxury brands, high-tech electronics, premium cosmetics, and iconic Filipino goods. Advance ordering online and airport pickup allow travelers to skip long queues and enjoy more time with family and friends upon arrival.

Why SpeedRegalo? A Partner with the Heart of the OFW Community

SpeedRegalo, under the guidance of Go and Gonzaga, was chosen by Duty Free’s executive team specifically for its unwavering focus on serving OFWs and the Filipino diaspora. Overseas Filipinos are more than just a customer segment—they are an economic powerhouse. In 2024 alone, personal remittances reached US$38.34 billion, with cash remittances hitting US$34.49 billion, accounting for 8.3 percent of the Philippines’ GDP. These remittances fuel everyday spending, education, and savings for millions of Filipino families, making OFWs one of the most influential consumer groups in the country.

SpeedRegalo has built its reputation on empowering overseas Filipinos to easily send gifts to loved ones back home—ensuring that distance is never a barrier to celebrating milestones or expressing care. This ethos perfectly aligns with Duty Free Philippines’ mission to offer convenience and heartfelt service to those who have journeyed far from home. By entrusting its e-commerce initiatives to a partner with deep insights into the OFW market, Duty Free positions itself as the first choice for the global Filipino traveler.
