Delivery riders in Taguig City will receive their ₱5,000 aid in response to the escalating prices of petroleum products on April 8 and 9, 2026, at the TLC Concert Grounds on C6 Road, Barangay Lower Bicutan, Taguig City.
The distribution is scheduled based on the number of delivery riders previously listed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.
Distribution of the cash assistance will commence at 7:00 in the morning and finish at 4:00 in the afternoon.
On the other hand, motorcycle taxi drivers will receive their cash assistance on April 10, 2026, at the same time and place, the TLC Concert Grounds.
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian admitted, during a meeting at the DSWD Headquarters in Quezon City with representatives from the Transport Network Companies (TNCs) on April 1, that filtering active, inactive, and legitimate riders posed a challenge, causing delays in the payout completion.
As a result, the DSWD encouraged TNCs to intensify communication with their riders to ensure all eligible beneficiaries are adequately notified for the scheduled special payout.
This is in accordance with the strict directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to ensure no one is left behind in the support distribution for Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) drivers who have been greatly affected by the rising prices of petroleum products.
