In the spirit of \u201c<em>Bayanihan,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0inDrive provided drivers and the community with financial assistance and food packs which amounted to more than Php 233,910.00 to help ease the burden brought by the typhoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cinDrive takes pride in the fact that we are a people-driven company,\u201d said Afanasii Petrov, inDrive\u2019s Business Development Manager for Southeast Asia Macroregion, APAC. \u201cWith Carina\u2019s damage &nbsp;affecting multiple parts of the Philippines, we believe our flood assistance program and community outreach is our way of staying true to our company\u2019s principles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Helping inDrive\u2019s partner drivers recover from Carina\u2019s effects<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of inDrive\u2019s flood assistance program, the company provided 39 active partner drivers with financial assistance for their daily boundaries. This way, inDrive can help compensate for their lost income during&nbsp; the flooding brought about by Super Typhoon Carina. Additionally, 278 drivers received food packs consisting of rice, canned goods, noodles, coffee, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn times of disaster, it\u2019s important that we band together as one and emulate the&nbsp;<em>bayanihan<\/em>&nbsp;spirit,\u201d said Randy Angustia, inDrive Driver Acquisition Specialist. \u201cWe cannot do the work we do without our partner drivers. Hence, we must do whatever it takes to help them bounce back from Super Typhoon Carina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Going above and beyond with inDrive\u2019s community feeding program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">inDrive\u2019s commitment goes beyond helping its associates as the platform collaborated with local transport group Laban TNVS and labor rights group Defend Jobs Philippines for an outreach program at Sitio San Roque in Quezon City, one of the local communities greatly affected by the super typhoon. On top of this was the feeding program, with food and drinks prepared by Botchog Crispy Pata Atbp. These efforts aimed to assist typhoon victims as well as build an enjoyable fellowship within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dozens of volunteers gathered to participate in this joint community feeding program \u2014 an exemplification of inDrive\u2019s cooperation with advocacy groups and its ability to bolster fellow citizens into social action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laban TNVS PresidentJun De Leon is especially grateful for inDrive\u2019s continued collaboration with the group, saying, \u201cOur partnership with inDrive goes beyond empowering the Transport Network Vehicle Services sector.
