    Lorraine and I are contemplating moving from Dauin to just a little south of Cebu City. We have a modest house-full of stuff - fridge, stove, kitchen stuff, bed, bookcases, dining table and chairs, recliners, and so on and so forth. A small self-contained house of western stuff. Can anyone recommend a company that can come in and pack-and-move?

    I have no experience about that but, if you fail to find a removal company, what about hiring a van and some reliable (!) workers (heavily supervised, of course, with payments on results if possible) and DIY?

    Thanks, Not. I have done something similar for moves from Anyang to Zamboanguita to Dauin - one contact - he organises truck and men. But not to Cebu, though...

    Matio marketing has a store in town and several trucks which supply them.

    I just talked to Matiao today, May 26, 2017 and they quoted me 25,000 to move me from Talisay City, Cebu to Bacong. I get the whole truck, 30 foot bed, for that. Some trucks are sides only with a tarp and some are enclosed. Your choice. I have to furnish my own crew to load in Cebu and they furnish the crew in Bacong to unload into the house. In my case, once here, they are transferring to a smaller truck in order to get down the drive to the house. My drive in Bacong is too small for the 30 foot truck to negotiate. Talk to Virgie at Matiao 035-419-9124

    Thanks, Plain. That gives me a good idea, a starting point...
