Angkas CEO George Royeca announced a temporary reduction in platform commission from 20% to 18% for all bikers, effective immediately and without any conditions, in response to the ongoing fuel price surge and the call from Congress to ease the burden on riders. The update also explains Angkas’s existing tiered commission system, where riders can go as low as 0% commission depending on daily ride volume, with the zero-commission tier reached at 25 rides per day. This makes the announcement a major rider update for motorcycle taxi users, Angkas bikers, and commuters following transport news in the Philippines.

In this press conference, Royeca discussed how rising fuel costs have affected rider income, including the jump in full tank costs from around PHP 250 to PHP 400 to PHP 500, and how that loss can translate into fewer completed rides per day. The video also covers how the commission cut is meant to help both full-time riders who rely on Angkas as their main livelihood and part-time riders who use the platform for extra income. Other support measures discussed include fuel discounts through partner gas stations, gas vouchers, food vouchers, and rider assistance schemes designed to help bikers during the fuel crisis.

The discussion also addresses motorcycle taxi regulation, DOTr caps, LTFRB enforcement, and the need for fair compliance across all platforms. Royeca emphasized that Angkas has followed the rules after years of advocacy for legalization and formal regulation of motorcycle taxis. The video touches on DSWD financial assistance, insurance for riders and passengers, driver training, anti-harassment seminars, and the importance of a level playing field in the motorcycle taxi industry. This is relevant for viewers searching for Angkas update, George Royeca interview, motorcycle taxi commission reduction, rider earnings, fuel subsidy, transport regulation, and motorcycle taxi news.
