As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the well-being of its biker community and empower its biker-partners, homegrown motorcycle taxi company Angkas launched the Angkasosyo Hub in July 2023.
The concept was inspired by one of its chapter presidents, Allen Llevan, who has owned a sari-sari store and carinderia along F.B. Harrison Street in Pasay City for 11 years. Llevan, an Angkas rider since 2017, envisioned a program that would benefit the entire Angkas ecosystem. “Angkasosyo kasi galing sa mga salitang negosyo at sosyo. Ang main objective nito ay makatulong sa rider na may sariling negosyo, sa ibang riders, at syempre sa Angkas,” Llevan said.
“How do we move from a single-income household to a dual-income household? If the husband earns from Angkas, perhaps the wife can engage in live selling. We aim to empower households by instilling a mindset that everyone can be an entrepreneur. That’s our goal for all our bikers. It’s a holistic community approach. It’s all about mindset,” shared Royeca.
Marvin Rapada, an Angkas biker of seven years, manages a kitchenette business located in Brgy Bagong Pagasa, Quezon City. He inherited the family business following his parents’ passing, offering barbecue, milk tea, snacks, and grilled food to customers. Rapada attested to the positive impact of being an Angkasosyo Hub on his business’s visibility and reputation in the community.
In addition to his kitchenette business, Rapada now sells shower caps for Angkas riders in need of supplies. He advises aspiring entrepreneurs among his fellow riders to exercise patience, emphasizing that success in business doesn’t happen overnight. “Pag nag business ka, huwag mong i-expect na agad-agad darating ang income. Ang mas isipin mo yung puhunan at kung paano mo ipo-promote. Matinding diskarte kailangan at syempre, dapat yung mindset mo, mindset ng negosyante.
