Involvement in elections
[edit]F2 Logistics has been involved in the distribution of election equipment and paraphernalia in the Philippines. It was the national courier of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) for the 2018 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. F2 Logistics has also secured two of four delivery contracts for the 2019 elections.[5]
The company has also secured a distribution deal with the COMELEC for the 2022 national elections. The deal has been questioned by Senator Leila de Lima, the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections, and other civic groups, due to F2 Logistics chairman Dennis Uy's association with incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte, believing that the company has a conflict of interest.[5] Among the company's incorporators include the Duterte administration's executive secretary Salvador Medialdea.[3] The COMELEC dispute the allegation, saying that the awarding of the associated contract was done through public bidding and that F2 Logistics was awarded the deal on the merit that the company offered the lowest responsive bid.[6]

It formerly owned the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers, a women's volleyball team active from 2016 to 2023.[7] It competed in the Philippine Super Liga and Premier Volleyball League.
