The enterprise unit of PLDT Inc. teamed up with two motorcycle ride-hailing service providers to equip their drivers and riders with communication and connectivity solutions for daily operations.
JoyRide and Happy Move were tapped by different local government units to give opportunities to tricycle drivers for alternative livelihood as delivery riders for the said apps.
Around 10,000 tricycle drivers and other riders were given livelihood, as JoyRide and Happy Move saw the need to change its platform to point-to-point delivery and concierge service.
“Our latest project with the local government units, the tricycle drivers conversion to independent delivery service providers, is a further testament to the commitment of JoyRide and Happy Move to assist public and private entities in creating jobs and livelihood opportunities during this pandemic,” said Noli Eala, vice president for corporate affairs of JoyRide.
“JoyRide and Happy Move will continue to be a true partner and ‘kasundo’ of the Filipino in good times and in bad,” he said.
