What It's Like To Be a Female Delivery Rider | OG
Chia Laron share's a day in the life of a female delivery rider and why she loves her hustle.
"It's a man's world", so they say. But you're better than that. You know that's far from the truth. Guys and gals often can both take up the same space and thrive the same. And Chia is a great example of that.
Now, the increasing number of women you can see around the delivery community is so impressive. However, the possibility of battling harassment and sexism looms in a corner. But that's not what this episode is all about. In fact, this story of strength and hard work is going to show just how that ugly part of humanity is so inferior on all levels.
This is about celebrating women like Chia who choose to challenge themselves on a daily basis and take action for equality.
And this could have been an entry for her vlog but right now OG warmly welcomes her story.

00:00 They're wondering why there's a rider.
00:02 So what?
00:03 It's the same thing.
00:05 If a man can drive,
00:07 a woman can drive.
00:08 It's the same thing.
00:09 Nothing's different.
00:11 The important thing is to be happy with what you're doing.
00:13 Because if you really like what you're doing,
00:15 you won't feel tired.
00:17 You won't feel like you're working.
00:20 [music]
00:30 I really started with angkas.
00:32 You know that angkas doesn't have a delivery,
00:35 it's just for people to ride, right?
00:37 But do you remember the government's prohibition
00:41 for people to ride motorcycles?
00:43 Angkas made a way
00:45 for us riders to have a livelihood.
00:47 They added a service.
00:49 Like when we deliver.
00:51 That's when I started delivering
00:52 because I can receive
00:54 envelopes that are just for delivery,
00:56 folders,
00:58 and even the delivery that goes to the flower shop.
01:02 Parcel to parcel.
01:03 So that's where I started.
01:04 [music]
01:08 You guys are curious, right?
01:09 How much does a delivery rider really earn?
01:13 It depends on your efforts.
01:16 But usually,
01:17 luck is above minimum.
01:19 And let's also consider that sometimes,
01:22 there are negative comments,
01:25 especially if you're a woman.
01:26 If they encounter,
01:28 like me, a female rider,
01:30 I also hear good feedback,
01:33 which is more pleasant to the heart.
01:35 Usually, they say,
01:37 "Wow, nice! Good thing you delivered."
01:40 Then they get amazed
01:43 that I'm even earlier on time
01:44 compared to the regular delivery time.
01:48 That's when I receive a tip.
01:50 This is it.
01:52 Just put it there.
01:54 You'll be smooth when you drive, okay?
01:57 [laughs]
01:58 We still received a tip of 20 pesos,
02:00 so it depends on the fairness of the lady.
02:02 But even if I hear negative comments,
02:05 it's okay for me.
02:07 Because I like what I do,
02:08 you guys are important.
02:09 You're happy with what you do,
02:11 you like what you do.
02:12 And one more thing,
02:13 you hold your time.
02:14 You don't have a boss,
02:15 you're the one who's followed.
02:16 Then, you enjoy it
02:18 and at the same time, you earn.
02:20 [music]
02:25 Memorable experience
02:26 that I will never forget when I deliver.
02:29 My app is floating.
02:31 And you know what?
02:32 When I get there,
02:33 what I'm going to deliver is a Christmas tree.
02:35 You know the Christmas tree that's already open,
02:38 that's already alive,
02:39 that has lanterns.
02:40 Isn't it crazy how I'm going to carry it?
02:43 How am I going to bring it here to my bag?
02:46 I have a bag for that.
02:47 [music]
02:53 So, let's get ready.
02:55 Let's bring our uniform,
02:58 our helmet,
02:59 the motor,
03:01 and whatever else.
03:02 We already have a booking.
03:04 Someone already entered.
03:05 And we're ready to go.
03:07 We need to have a face mask, right?
03:10 And gloves.
03:11 And then, of course,
03:12 our license.
03:13 We can't leave our IDs.
03:15 Vaccination card is very important these days.
03:19 Our helmet and barrier.
03:22 Someone already entered for booking,
03:24 so we're going to go.
03:26 [music]
03:34 We already texted him that we're here.
03:37 And he said, "Wait, ma'am. We're going out."
03:41 We don't have a motor.
03:43 We don't want to follow the government protocols.
03:46 Of course, it's also a safety protocol.
03:49 I'm sorry, ma'am.
03:50 We really need to go.
03:53 Booking is a waste.
03:56 He said he already read what I texted him.
03:59 The "do's" and "don'ts."
04:03 Oh.
04:04 [music]
04:14 For those who are questioning
04:16 the ability of a woman to be a rider,
04:19 don't base it on gender.
04:21 It's not wrong.
04:23 When it comes to work, it's equal.
04:25 If a woman can do it, let her.
04:27 The only hard part is
04:29 you have to be ready to face different kinds of people
04:32 because you can't avoid it.
04:34 When you arrive, you'll be hot-headed.
04:36 It's a bad trip.
04:37 It's broken.
04:38 It's sad.
04:39 There's overjoy.
04:40 There's a philosopher.
04:41 There are different kinds of people.
04:43 You'll meet different kinds of people.
04:45 You should avoid it if you're a rider.
04:49 You'll be able to measure your patience.
04:52 Don't underestimate a woman,
04:54 especially when it comes to work
04:55 because you don't know what women can do
04:58 when it comes to work.
05:00 For me, I always choose what's right.
05:03 You're always there for what's right.
05:05 Always choose to do good.
05:07 You should be happy with what you're doing
05:09 because if you're doing what you want,
05:11 you won't feel tired.
05:13 You won't feel like you're working.
05:16 At least, you're not burdening other people.
05:18 That's what's important.
05:20 Don't think about what others will say.
05:22 Don't let them say,
05:24 "She's just delivering."
05:26 Delivering is a valuable job.
05:28 You shouldn't be ashamed of it.
05:29 If it's for your family, go for it.
05:31 I salute delivery riders like me
05:34 who are striving to make life better and better
05:37 for all of us.
05:39 Go, let's push that.
05:40 [♪♪♪]
