In her post, she said, “One of the crucial parts in doing business is to make sure that goods are delivered well to the customer,” she wrote.
And in a Kapamilya way, as reporters, staff and other employees of ABS-CBN Cebu start their online businesses, they turned to their “Kuya Guards” to deliver their goods safely to their customers.
“We are so blessed to have our diligent and well-mannered Kuya guards, who handle the delivery service and run our errands. Thank you Kuyas Rey Pelingon, Rodulfo Almodiel, Rodulfo Almodiel, Renerayco Batiancila, Jerry Melgar, Henry Bargamento,” posted De Vela.
Instead of hiring other delivery services available in the metro, Kapamilya staff and employees in Cebu opted to help raise each other up during these difficult and uncertain times.
From safeguarding the station and its people to safeguarding parcels, these “Kuya Guards” surely deserve to be called “delivery heroes.” /dbs
