The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) launched a special payout for around 11,000 driver-beneficiaries from InDrive PH on Saturday at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
In an exclusive interview with the DAILY TRIBUNE, InDrive Philippines Country Manager Sofia Guinto said the company partnered with the DSWD to help organize the distribution process for drivers who were unable to claim assistance from previous government aid payouts.
“Basically, for InDrive, we just organize everything for DSWD and make sure that our drivers are comfortable receiving their P5,000 fuel subsidy,” she said.
Guinto said the transport network company (TNC) submitted a verified list to the government to ensure a transparent and smooth distribution of fuel subsidy assistance to thousands of InDrive drivers.
Aside from the government aid, InDrive also launched a fuel support program for its drivers worth P2.7 million.
“Some of our drivers received fuel vouchers. It actually helped them so they could refuel during that time [of the oil crisis],” Guinto said.
