Milk Delivery Services Within Metro Manila

Two days ago, Mi'ann of Babymama and I were chatting about the usability of a milk delivery service within Metro Manila.  Mi'ann has been in touch with Candy of Pedala Messengers to set-up a delivery service where the milk recipients need not pick up milk from the donors themselves.  Mi'Ann posted this note in Facebook but I am reposting it here for the benefit of those without Facebook access and because Facebook notes tend to be buried under new notes or posts.  Great job Babymama!



Update: 15 March 2012
PLEASE READ THIS POST CAREFULLY!
PEDALA is a messenger service.  They ARE NOT MILK DONORS NOR ARE THEY A MILK BANK.  You have to be able to previously identify a milk donor (who has agreed to donate milk to you, the recipient) and just contact PEDALA to ask them to pick-up the milk and deliver to the recipient.  BABYMAMA IS ALSO NOT A MILK DONOR OR A MILK BANK.
Thank you.
