The passage of a measure seeking to regulate motorcycle taxis in the country will help enhance passenger safety and pave the way for the employment of more Filipinos.
This was emphasized by Angkas CEO and Angkasangga Partylist first nominee George Royeca as he expressed full support for Sens. Grace Poe and Raffy Tulfo as they push for its enactment into law.
“The passage of this measure will ensure the safety of the riding public and enhance overall service quality, fostering a more reliable and secure mode of transportation for our commuters,” Royeca said.
“As a vital component of this measure, a mandatory and ongoing training will be provided for riders to ensure they are well-equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to deliver safe and reliable transportation services,” he added.
Royeca noted that the measure, if enacted into law, will provide more jobs for Filipinos across the country, enabling them to provide for the needs of their families.
Sen. Poe earlier stressed the importance of motorcycle taxis as a safe and viable means of transportation, which has provided employment to thousands of riders.
The senator said the pilot study that launched test runs for regulated motorcycle taxi and courier operations has been finished and is being used as basis to fortify the bill.
Angkas was the first Transportation Network Company (TNCs) to develop its own basic motorcycle driving program to provide formal training to its riders to guarantee the safety of their passengers.
Based on the assessment by a third-party Triple A auditor, Angkas remains as the country’s safest motorcycle taxi with a safety record of 99.997 percent.

Television and movie personality Vice Ganda declared full support for the moto taxi bill and commended Angkasangga Partylist and its advocacy to promote the welfare of breadwinners, especially in the informal sector.
Vice Ganda lauded Royeca for his commitment to represent and protect the country’s workers.
“Sa dami ng pinagdaanan ninyo sa pagsuporta sa pamilya niyo, kailangan niyo ng kasangga na proproteksyunan at susuportahan kayo. At ‘yan ang 107 Angkasangga,” declared Vice Ganda.
