Ep. 27: Taken for a Ride | George Royeca and Angeline Tham of Angkas

Founders and CEO of Angkas Angeline Tham and George Royeca sit down with us this week to discuss their operations and how they pivoted the business during the pandemic. We will also hear how they coordinated with the government on laws and regulations in the motorcycle taxi industry. Angeline Tham is a serial entrepreneur who launched one of the top online auction outfits in Singapore. She conceptualized the foundation of Angkas when she arrived late to several meetings due to traffic. George Royeca is a firm advocate of inclusive mobility and sustainable shipping. He is a champion of local brands and an award-prevailing visible storyteller. Last year he was awarded as one of The Outstanding Young Men. He also led the "Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat" campaign which is part of the private sectors support for TaskForce T3 (Test, Trace, Treat). With its partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, Angkas became the first professional motorcycle taxi service in the Philippines to aid the delivery of humanitarian interventions such as first aid, blood needs and other responses related to the fight against the COVID-19. They also launched their food delivery service with the hope of providing income to their bikers amidst the wide community quarantine. Learn more about Angkas and how they dealt with the impact of the pandemic in this episode of The Rj Ledesma Podcast.***DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.
