Navigating the Rainy Season in the Philippines with Angkas and its Free Raincoat.

Using temperature and rainfall as bases, the climate of the Philippines can be divided into two major seasons: (1) the rainy season, from June to November; and (2) the dry season, from December to May. During the rainy season, the challenge of commuting without getting drenched is particularly tough. In Manila, where heavy traffic occurs regularly, a motorcycle taxi is a go-to option to avoid being late. However, this mode of transportation becomes increasingly challenging during the rainy season.

As a regular customer of motorcycle taxis, I have personally experienced the dilemma of commuting during the rainy season. Recently, my laptop was damaged when it got wet in the middle of EDSA during my commute via motorcycle. This incident highlighted the importance of gear that keeps you dry during this season. Fortunately, Angkas, a leading app-based motorcycle ride-hailing platform in the Philippines, provides free raincoats to its patrons, ensuring a more comfortable and dry journey.

Angkas, founded by George Royeca and Angeline Tham in December 2016, offers a safe and affordable solution for traveling in the country's congested urban areas. To further support their riders during the rainy season, Angkas offers promotions like the chance to win a full-body raincoat by using the promo code RIDETOWIN on your rides from July 12 – September 5, 2024. This two-piece raincoat, consisting of a jacket and pants, is essential for staying dry during your commute.

In addition to the full-body raincoat, Angkas also provides a free rain poncho when you ride ten times with Angkas from June 29 – September 5, 2024 by using promo code ANGKASRAIN every time you book a ride. The rain poncho is a one-size-fits-all garment designed to fit loosely and cover the upper legs, offering a practical solution for staying dry. 

Watch the video below as I unbox my poncho from Angkas, a much-appreciated compensation for using their app regularly. Riding with Angkas during the rainy season has become more manageable, ensuring that commuters like me can continue to rely on this convenient mode of transportation without the worry of getting soaked.
