It showed the Angkas rider crying profusely after a customer booked a ‘fake order’ past midnight.
In the midst of tears, the Angkas rider lamented he was just to earn a living. “Nagtatrabaho ako ng maayos eh,” the weeping man managed to say.
Paulino consoled the rider and called on fellow riders to help the crying man, which they did by pooling in their meager earnings and buying the food worth P599 that the Angkas rider is supposed to deliver.
Later on, they requested the fast food crew to permit their crying colleague to just return the order, which he was able to do so. He also received a refund.
“Makonsensya naman sana yung mga nagfe-fake booking dyan. Inaabot kami ng madaling araw para kumita para sa pamilya at makapagserbisyo. ‘Wag niyo naman sana kaming pagtripan,” Grab Food rider Paulino captioned his video post.
The Angkas rider, who goes by the handle Supher Rallos on social media, also posted his thanks to Paulino for stopping and helping him out.
The Grab Food rider said he was just happy to help a troubled colleague. “Masaya po ako dahil naging daan ang post ko para makatulong kay kuya ang angkas at para malaman din ng mga tao kung ano ang hirap na pinagdadaanan naming,” Paulino said.
