00:00The SSS is now a member of the 50,000 Angkas Riders.

00:05This is after the Angkas and SSS agreed on additional benefits for the riders.

00:11This is Benji Durango's story.

00:15The single mom, Bernadette, is a 3-year-old Angkas Rider.

00:18She says life is hard, but with the help of becoming a motorcycle taxi rider,

00:22she was able to save her 7-year-old son.

00:25We hold on to time, we have time for our kids,

00:29and our income is really becoming consistent.

00:34But today, the opportunity for Bernadette opened up for a secured future.

00:40All of our good bikers are now in the SSS.

00:44And if you had a hard time booking Angkas earlier this morning in NCR,

00:47most of them are here in the SSS head office in Quezon City.

00:52Today, the SSS and Angkas Motorcycle Taxi

00:57became a member of Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro.

01:03That's why Bernadette is so happy.

01:05It's a big help to us, not just to me, but also to my kids.

01:10Their lowest payment is P570 per month.

01:14Like most members, there are people waiting for their benefits

01:17such as maternity, disability, retirement, funeral, and death benefits.

01:22Salary and calamity loans can also be available to riders.

01:25This is a huge help for our riders.

01:29We've been at this for 8 years.

01:33Our only advocacy is to make them a formal part of the economy.

01:40There are 50,000 Angkas riders who are considered a part of the formal sector.

01:46She's preparing the future of her riders.
