foodpanda, PhilHealth launch partnership for delivery partners’ access to gov’t health benefits

Tweet

Leading food and quick-commerce digital platform foodpanda and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) have partnered to help foodpanda’s delivery partners gain access to the government’s mandated healthcare benefits, in line with the implementation of the Universal Healthcare Program.

According to Lhecks de Castro, finance director of foodpanda Philippines, the idea for the partnership began at the height of the pandemic when the government rolled-out the massive COVID-19 testing initiative in which PhilHealth membership is required for free testing.

L-R: Leopoldo de Castro Jr (foodpanda Finance Director), Angelo Luis Apostol Sta. Maria (foodpanda rider), Secretary Silvestre Bello III (DOLE Secretary), Mr. Rex Paul Recoter (PhilHealth, Senior Manager), Patricia Jacinto (foodpanda Operations Director), Undersecretary Benjo Benavidez (DOLE)

“As we looked after the safety and welfare of our Ka Panda partner riders at the onset of the pandemic in 2020, we sought for ways to make testing easier and more accessible—and getting as many of our riders onboarded to PhilHealth’s services was critical,” de Castro said during foodpanda and PhilHealth’s joint courtesy call to Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III at the DOLE headquarters in Intramuros.

“By delivery partners we mean the thousands of motorcycle riders and bikers (and even walkers and scooter riders in CBD areas) nationwide who will benefit from this initiative.” de Castro added.

A fitting backdrop

The courtesy call to Secretary Bello served as the venue for the ceremonial turnover of a PhilHealth ID to a partner delivery rider to symbolize the partnership between foodpanda and PhilHealth.

Patricia Jacinto, operations director of foodpanda Philippines, noted that it was fitting that Sec. Bello was witness to the ceremonial handover, as it was DOLE that released Labor Advisory 14, which provided guidance to platforms on ensuring better working conditions for delivery riders in food delivery and courier activities under independent contract agreements. One of the provisions was the guidance to platforms to facilitate registration and access by freelance delivery riders to social security programs of the government, including PhilHealth.

“We at foodpanda are committed to providing a safety net for our Ka Pandas all over the country, with their health and safety being a top priority,” Jacinto said. “The partnership with PhilHealth, witnessed by no less than Sec. Bello, is key to our success, and shows that we mean business when we say that we care for our riders.”

“It is a win-win initiative for us. In the same way that it helps foodpanda’s program for delivery partners’ welfare, it will help PhilHealth to finally reach this sector.” de Castro also added.

Special incentive for riders

Under the partnership, foodpanda will collaborate with PhilHealth in checking the membership status of its partner riders. It also provides the opportunity for PhilHealth to enroll non-member riders as mandatory individual members, as provided by the Universal Health Care Law.

The two organizations have also committed to jointly conduct information activities to educate delivery partners on the benefits and value of PhilHealth membership, as well as provide incentives to delivery partners to become mandatory individual members, by holding monthly raffle draws for six months (May to October), and one grand raffle draw in December 2022.

“We hope that more and more riders understand and appreciate the benefits of PhilHealth membership, as we continue to come up with ways to support their health and safety,” de Castro said.

BRIA’s new home office is at Alabang-Zapote Road, smack-dab in the highly urbanized city of Las Piñas

BRIA’s new home office is at Alabang-Zapote Road, smack-dab in the highly urbanized city of Las Piñas. Located in the southern fringes of Metro Manila, Las Piñas is considered the gateway to the Calabarzon (Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal, and Quezon) areas and is close to some of the fastest-growing communities in the metro. Quite expectedly, therefore, BRIA Homes’ new headquarters is virtually a “next door” neighbor to great commercial centers, retail outlets, and office blocks. Quiet and secure, low-density residential enclaves are also nearby, making it a prime location for BRIA’s executives and workforce alike.

BRIA Homes distinguishes itself as one of the Philippines’ top property developers through its sheer drive-in offering superior quality homes of choice to as many hard-working Filipinos as possible. With a diverse portfolio of horizontal developments and vertical villages nationwide, BRIA serves the housing needs of aspiring Filipino homeowners. After all, comfortable and beautiful home is essential to everyone who dreams of living a fulfilling and meaningful life.

From starting families looking to own their first house to young professionals and entrepreneurs seeking comfortable living spaces and to Overseas Filipino Workers who wish to invest in property, these comprise the vast market of home seekers that BRIA constantly engages with. And now they are even more inspired to work on their corporate, marketing, and sales goals from their sleek new home base in Las Piñas.
