It’s a new roadside delivery service

Angkas has found a way to employ its drivers while it’s talking to the LTFRB about allowing them to carry passengers again. Angkas Padala is their own attempt at a package delivery service, which should come in handy during the holiday season that has managed to completely crush our soul in its labyrinthine traffic flow.

The service is available first in Metro Manila and Cebu, and is accessible via the Angkas app that’s available on either Google Play or iTunes.

Angkas Padala is a roadside delivery service, which means both sender and recipient will have to meet the driver outside to give and receive items. You can track the package’s progress through the app, and the base fare for the service is pretty reasonable: Php 50 for Manila and Php 20 for Cebu. 

There are limitations to the service though, namely the size of the items being sent. Max weight for items to be sent cannot exceed 10 kilos, and must be 43cm x 38cm x 24cm in size. All items sent are insured up to Php 3,000.
