Angkas Riders Earn Up to 40k a Month, Angkas CEO says

Angkas has forever changed the landscape of modern transportation. We have our riders to thank for their services, plus the affordable fare we couldn’t avail if we opt for other private vehicles. With these conditions, a lot of us wonder how much they actually make a month. George Royeca, CEO of Angkas, answers this question.

According to Royeca, riders make an average of Php 40,000 monthly. Some riders even earn 1.5 times or double the average amount. The 30,000 riders of Angkas are very well compensated, and the company even aims to work with PAG-IBIG to give riders housing benefits.

The proposed program envisions the riders to be able to afford a home after 5 years of working with the company. They have also been talking to real estate developers to make this a reality.

Service workers are integral in our society, and they are more than deserving to get the fair compensation that is commensurate with the work that they do. Angkas serves as a great precedent for other companies to provide good salaries and benefits to their service workers who pour their heart and sweat into what they do.

Cat Steals Neighbors Bikinis, Owner Apologizes

Help! An adorable thief!

A cat in Katy, Texas, USA, named Cleo is making people laugh as he has a knack for stealing his neighbor’s expensive undergarments, bikinis, and more. According to his owner, Jean Wheat, Cleo often brought his “loot” inside Jean’s house.

Because of Cleo’s antics, Jean set up a stall outside her house where the neighbors can look for their “stolen” garments and properties. The stall also has a sign that says, “My cat is a thief. Please look through his loot and recover your stuff. He has no remorse, but I apologize on his behalf.”

Cleo’s “Loot” 

Jean expressed the “treasures” that Cleo brings to her house, and we can say this cat has quite a taste for luxury. 

“He did bring a few T-shirts, a bikini—he brought in two separate days. He often brings home clean folded laundry,”

Jean said.

She also apologized to her neighbors,

“I want to apologize because some of the items he’s brought home in particular, a pair of really nice women’s shapewear, are kind of pricey.” 

Jean’s neighbors often tell her Cleo would climb into their house through their window. Moreover, Jean would quickly inform her neighbors that Cleo had brought something home again.

Neighbor’s Reactions

With a thief as adorable as Cleo, neighbors would instead fall in love than get annoyed. Cleo became viral on the neighborhood’s Facebook page. Because of Cleo’s fame, T-shirts were made in her honor and sold to get funds for the local shelter. 

If you find a cat stealing your things, how would you react?

Multimedia Arts Student Designs Car-booking App with a Cheaper Fare

Let’s be honest; with the crazy heat and rain, hailing a cab or booking a car ride is our best option. However, some car-booking apps are a bit expensive. In times like these, we just wish Uber was still around since they are fairly cheaper than today’s car-hailing apps.

But a talented student has thought of the same thing. Meet Erwin Dee, a multimedia arts student who will soon launch a car-hailing app, one that is cheaper. 

Dee created the app after seeing TikTok posts about how some citizens miss “Uber days.” He wanted to create a solution to make car-hailing fares cheaper again. With his programming background, Dee came up with “Tara.” Tara is a budget-friendly car-hailing app. But that’s not all; the app will give the drivers 100% of the fare.

Photo from Erwin Dee

Tara will be cheaper compared to other car-booking apps since it will comply with LTFRB’s standard fare matrix that does not include surcharges.

Once the Tara app launches and is ready for use, the app won’t only benefit Filipino commuters. The app will also benefit drivers who want to make a living by driving without hidden charges.
