Delivery Riders Airs Frustration Regarding Consecutive Fuel Price Hikes & Prefer to Rest Beside the Road to Earn More

DELIVERY RIDERS – Several delivery riders prefer to rest beside the road just to earn more money for their families.

Nowadays, the prices of petroleum products play a very important role in the country’s economy. Pump price adjustment usually causes a significant impact on the prices of products and services in the country.

The Pump price hike would contribute to the daily burden of Filipino people especially those who were using public vehicles for a living and to individuals using private vehicles to reach their point of destination.

Fuel price hike has a domino effect to prices of basic commodities and services.

A delivery rider named Erwin Santos chooses to rest beside the road to earn more cash to provide for the financial necessities of his family. Last year, he can earn around P1, 000 for five hours, which is quite impossible this year.

Santos reiterated that some riders have to spend 16 hours per day along the road to find booking and earn the same amount of cash. The consecutive oil price hike also adds to the burden of his fellow riders.

“Kung mag e-eight hours ka lang parang lugi, karamihan nga samin hindi nagda-day off sa labas ka lang magpapahinga, hangga’t maari dahil kung iuuwi mo pa tingin ko manghihinayang ka pa sa itatagal mo sa bahay,” Santos said.

According to the food delivery riders, sleepless nights and surging pump prices make their life harder but fake bookings make it worse. Most of them were doing their best to cope with their expenses.
