Cebu City Mayor Raymond Garcia pledged to ease the burdens of approximately 2,000 motorcycle delivery riders by covering their accident insurance, waiving
Minerva Newman their business permit fee for 2025, and granting amnesty on unpaid penalties required to obtain a transportation license to operate in the city.
After winning a P7.4 million suit before the National Labor Relations Commission against foodpanda, their compensation is currently on hold after the delivery company filed an appeal with a higher court. Mayor Garcia and council member Jun Alcover, who attended the dialogue organized by the Aksyon Na Ta grassroots organization, have been negotiating with a local insurance underwriter to provide accident insurance for thousands of habal-habal drivers in the city.
