The hailing Motorcycle-ride service, Angkas is asking for donations for its over 23,000 drivers in Metro Manila whose jobs were affected due to Luzon Enhanced Community Quarantine, March 20.

“As we are already doing our best to take care of our bikers, we currently lack the resources to provide for all 23,000 families who are affected. If you can help us help them as well, please do,” Angkas said in a tweet on Friday.

Cash donations for Angkas drivers can be done through deposits via bank or online transfer to accounts of DBDOYC, Inc. in BDO (000380256339) and UnionBank (001550001088).

Angkas clarified that since the accounts mentioned are not dedicated donation accounts, proof of donation should be sent to [email protected] so they can verify the donations.

Angkas also added that people can also donate directly in-kind items which they will be consolidated and distributed. In-kind donations, such as canned goods, rice, medicine, water, alcohol, soap, face masks, and hand sanitizers will be done through Angkas Padala.

“We encourage you to book thru the app so the bikers can earn a little extra during this trying time. If you can’t book a biker, we will arrange for pick-up,” added by the hailing motorcycle-ride service.

Under the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine, public transportations were also suspended.
