100% of Angkas fares on Nat’l Heroes Day to go directly to riders

MANILA: As part of its National Heroes’ Day celebration, Angkas will not collect commissions on any bookings for rides or deliveries on August 29. 100% of earnings from these services will go to the riders.

“We celebrate our national heroes on August 29 for the bikers that fought hard to regulate and professionalize the motorcycle taxi industry. Because of them, we now enjoy freedom from traffic and congestion that has attacked our quality of life. For years, we have been crippled by congestion and it is our modern day heroes that have given us freedom of mobility to travel safely and quickly, unburdened by traffic. Angkas riders have enabled Filipino commuters to be more productive, better rested, happier, more fulfilled — and that is real freedom,” Angkas Chief Executive Officer George Royeca stated.

Angkas riders have been proving that Filipino motorcycle riders can be disciplined and safe. The platform has maintained a safety rating of 99.997% after millions of bookings, eradicating the “kamote rider” stigma.

When the country was under lockdown, Angkas provided delivery services of medicine and essential items and free rides to frontliners in areas where it operates.

“If a motorcycle has saved you from traffic and congestion, book a ride with Angkas on National Heroes Day, Monday, August 29 where the bikers will enjoy 100% of the fares. This is our way to celebrate and honor our biker heroes,” Royeca added.
