Wazzup Pilipinas!
Competition is an advantage mostly for the consumers. We do not really benefit with a monopoly, duopoly or from a limited few choices who could easily dictate prices at their whims without even considering the market. The consumers would have no choice but to give in to the brand.
Thus, when new players enter the same industry we should cheer and support them. They will eventually improve prices or rates, services and quality, among others, which would greatly be a plus factor for the public.
Unless they would connive with one another, we are assured of getting the best offers as each and everyone will surely improve their offerings.
Fair. Safe. Filipino.
I guess the latter should be equally important but never to disregard the other two since we need to require every player to be fair and safe of course. It is but a must to every brand to enable those attributes for the benefit of every Filipino, and being a Filipino brand is also a big bonus because who else should support but primarily our own countrymen.
When ride-hailing apps started in the Philippines, there were Easy Taxi, Grab Taxi, Uber and a few who took a peek but never really showed their full faces.
Then it got down to only Grab that evolved into many different businesses including food delivery. Naturally, that's where the problem started.
Just like in telecommunication, we need more players from the same field to enter the fray, so as not for the monopolies to prey on us. Did you see what I did there?
Luckily, there's one gearing to join the ride-hailing app industry but would they succeed amid the popularity and dominance of Grab?
Btw, why put down the Facebook page of OWTO Philippines?
The OwtoPhl page is a platform wherein drivers/partners sent in their concerns and inquiries wishing for a swift response that will help sustain their livelihood in this time of Pandemic.
It is a venue wherein we give jobs through announcements and that is also widely used for customer service to the riders.
We are appealing to Facebook about the restoration of Facebook page of OWTO https://www.facebook.com/owtophl/
Please put it back up!
