“Boundary hulog” refers to acquiring a vehicle by making monthly, weekly, or daily payments over a specified period. This approach is especially popular among Grab drivers who want to own a car without a bank loan. Once all the payments are completed, the vehicle’s ownership is transferred from the operator to the driver.
If you’re an active Grab driver who doesn’t own a car and is interested in a boundary hulog scheme, this blog post is for you.
Boundary Hulog Contract Inclusions
Entering a boundary hulog agreement requires a contract between the Grab operator and the driver. The contract varies from operator to operator, but these are the usual arrangements that you will encounter.
The operator must pay the amortization.
The driver will pay the operator PHP 1,000 daily (free on coding days).
The driver must have a fund for car maintenance, repairs, and registration renewal, which amounts to PHP 100 per day. All other expenses for the car not covered by this fund will be shouldered by the driver.
The garage should be provided by the driver.
Mandatory vehicle inspection on weekends (Saturday or Sunday).
The driver is not allowed to sub-lease the vehicle.
The driver has to cash out PHP 15,000.
These amounts are estimates and will change depending on your contract with the car owner/operator.

Angkas is a motorcycle ride-hailing app in the Philippines. It aims to improve Filipinos’ lives with their transportation and delivery services. The goal is not just to provide convenience but also to help people make money and create jobs. Currently, their operations are limited to NCR, parts of the Greater Manila Area, Metro Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro. If you reside in these areas and are interested in becoming an Angkas rider, this blog post will guide you through the Angkas Rider requirements and application process for 2024.
What is Angkas?
In just six years since its creation in 2016, Angkas has swiftly transformed into the ultimate choice for motorcycle ride-hailing among Filipinos. While it may not offer the plush comforts of a luxury car, Angkas compensate with lightning-fast service and unbeatable convenience.
Their recent addition is Angkas Padala, a service where people can request riders to pick up parcels or food and deliver them to different places. Food, documents, or clothes can be taken to your family or friends within Metro Manila or Cebu.
As of 2024, Angkas has more than 30,000 riders in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan De Oro. The demand for Angkas’ motorcycle services continuously grows outside of Metro Manila, and they are hoping to bring their speedy and convenient motorcycle ride system all over the Philippines. Aside from the growing demand for Angkas, here are four more reasons why you should be an Angkas rider:
Angkas rider salary
Angkas takes a 20% commission for every booking. The remaining 80% sums up the rider’s earnings. David Edrana, Head of Transport at Angkas, mentioned that their riders can earn 1,500 pesos daily or 40,000 pesos to 45,000 pesos monthly if they work for 6 to 8 hours a day. Riders can earn 3,000 pesos a day on busy days when the demand for quick transportation is high.
Flexible schedule
What makes becoming a rider the ideal job is that it gives you total control over your time. You are your own boss! You can set your own schedule with no one to monitor what time you’ll clock in or out. You can have long breaks in between shifts too. You can manage your own time and still earn more than enough. It all depends on how hard you work on helping your fellow Pinoys move from point A to point B.
Free training
The company provides free training for its partners. One of the trainings that they provide is motorcycle driving safety training. This is essential to keep both the driver and the passenger safe while traveling to their desired destination.
Biker community
Angkas has an active Facebook community where riders assist each other by answering questions about motorcycle units, uniforms, customer support, and other related concerns. Also, aspiring applicants can seek guidance from experienced drivers and operators who have been with Angkas for a considerable time.
Angkas accepts applicants 18 to 58 years old. Applicants 51 years old and above are required to submit a medical certificate declaring that they are fit to work.
Angkas Rider Requirements
These are the documentary, vehicular, and other requirements you need to prepare for your Angkas application.

Step 5: Attend your Free Safety Seminar & the Driving Skills Test.
Step 6: Submit your motorcycle for an audit.
Step 7: Prepare a down payment of 500 pesos for your Biker Kit.
If you are applying for Angkas Padala, the free training, motorcycle audit, and biker kit don’t apply.
LET’S RECAP
Angkas is surely one of the better ways to get to places within Metro Manila, CDO, and Cebu. It’s affordable and reliable, and it will never allow its passengers to be late for their next appointment. In addition, they help future riders like you to earn more income—whether you go full-time or do it on the side. Not only are you able to help your fellow Pinoys out with their commuting problems, but you are also able to earn money for yourself and your family.
Another service they offer in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu is Angkas Padala. Angkas Padala allows you to send your items safely. Biker drivers pick up and deliver anything you need, from food to documents and clothes.
With prices of goods rising each and every year, more and more Filipinos are searching for ways to make more money. The good news is, the Philippine economy is also improving and this improvement is creating more opportunities for the people.
One of the popular ways that Pinoys are exploring right now is the use of a motorcycle. In this blog post, we’ve come up with a list of ideas on how you can earn money using a motorcycle. Here is what you need to know:
1. Motorcycle Rental
A motorcycle rental business is fairly simple. The owner of the motorcycle can make money when someone rents the vehicle over an agreed period of time. There are 3 different ways to do this business
Use the vehicle as tricycle – This is the old way to make money using a motorcycle. This works by attaching a sidecar to your vehicle and using the motorcycle to transport passengers. You earn by collecting a rental fee from the driver or you can drive it yourself during your free time.
Regular Motorcycle Rental – In the province, there are motorcycle rental companies that charge 150 Pesos per day as rental fees for the motorcycle. Gas is not included yet. If you are in Metro Manila, you can also do the same and charge at a higher price.
Rent it to motorcycle taxi drivers – This is the newest way to make money using your motorcycle. There are companies these days which help you find your passengers using a mobile app. You earn by fetching and transporting your passengers to their desired destination. Among the popular companies that offer this kind of service are Angkas, JoyRide, GrabBike and Move It.
2. Door to Door Delivery
Another popular way to make money using a motorcycle is by providing door-to-door delivery service. A few years ago, finding clients for this kind of business is close to impossible. Nowadays, there are mobile apps like Lalamove,Angkas Padala, GrabExpress which makes it easier for you to find your own clients. You need to sign up first as a driver before you can use the app. Each mobile app has a different process and we will discuss it on a separate blog post.

3. Food Delivery
Just like door-to-door package delivery, food delivery is becoming popular these days. People nowadays prefer to order food using a mobile phone and eat at the comfort of their home. Like door-to-door delivery, you can register as a service provider and make money each time you completed a transaction. You can choose from a variety of food delivery companies like Lalafood, FoodPanda, Zomato, Mangan.ph, and Grab Food.

4. Motorcycle Taxi
If you are familiar with GrabCar, Motorcycle Taxis like Angkas, JoyRide and Move it is basically the same except that it uses motorcycles instead of cars to transport passengers. The fare that the passengers pay depends on the distance between their pick-up point and their drop-off point.
Motorcycle accidents are one of the most tragic yet relevant news that we see and hear on the news almost every day. This calls for a need for driving lessons offered by professional trainers. You can apply to a company where they offer courses in motorcycle driving. Yamaha Motor Philippines has a Riding Academy that teaches safe motorcycle driving. They teach you different field exercises like how to pull the brake and the likes. They also teach you important lessons that most drivers often fail to follow. In order for you to make money, you can apply as a trainer.
Another way to do this is to offer driving lessons as a freelancer. You can start offering your service to your friends and ask for referrals to grow this business.
Motorcycle tours can be very exciting and thrilling. A bike tour allows you to travel to different destinations and get paid by guiding other bikers on their journey. You get paid for every biker that will join your tour. This is not a popular business opportunity yet here in the country but in the future, we know it will. You can explore this kind of business and tell us about your experience.
Last year, Move It Mototaxi and JoyRide Philippines were gaining traction from the public after being announced that they will be part of LTFRB’s experiment that will test the viability of having motorcycles as a means of public transportation. Minutes after the announcement, thousands of interested drivers were looking for Move It Mototaxi Driver RegistrationProcess on the internet.
After installing the mobile app on your phone, you will need to create an account and upload the requirements using the mobile app. All requirements must NOT be expired during the application. Be sure to submit unexpired requirements to prevent your application from being rejected. There are only 6 requirements that you need to submit. Here are as follows:
Barangay clearance or Police Clearance
NBI Clearance
Professional Driver’s License (non-pro driver’s license is not allowed)
OR / CR of the motorcycle
Photo of the motorcycle
Clear presentable formal photo of yourself (selfie)
After uploading the requirements on the mobile app. Wait for the admin’s approval. Only after the admin’s approval can you start using Move It mobile app as a driver.
Becoming a Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) operator can be challenging, but this guide simplifies your steps. Whether you’re interested in joining popular TNVS companies like Grab, Angkas, MoveIt, or JoyRide, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the necessary procedures for registering for a Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) in 2024.
What is a Certificate of Public Convenience?
A Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) is an official authorization from the LTFRB that allows individuals or entities, such as cooperatives and corporations to operate land transportation services for the public legally. Unlike franchises that may need municipal or legislative approval, a CPC acts as a comprehensive permit for common carriers. Although it does not grant ownership of a specific route, it ensures adherence to government regulations and standards.
What is TNVS?
Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) refers to a modern ride-hailing system facilitated by Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) within the country. TNVS encompasses various forms of transportation, including car and taxi services provided by companies like Grab, as well as motorcycle rides offered by platforms such as Angkas and JoyRide. This innovative service model leverages technology to connect passengers with drivers through mobile applications, enhancing convenience and accessibility in urban transportation.

I’ve been in the Grabcar business since 2017. During that time, the LTFRB doesn’t care much about TNVS industry and other ride-sharing platforms. The driver’s income was also higher because Uber and Grab are still competing with one another. As of this writing, I am still operating my business but this time I already have my franchise issued by the LTFRB which allow me to legally operate my business. This business is not easy to operate but it is very rewarding. Allow me to share with you my learning as a Grabcar peer (operator).
My First Encounter with TNVS
My first encounter with TNVS was with Uber when I became its passenger. The first thing that comes to my mind when I first used Uber is that it is very convenient but it was very expensive too! The cost of the ride from Mandaluyong to Makati was around 500 Pesos. Despite the cost, I still felt that it was worth it because it is really very convenient. I didn’t need to wait too long to get a ride. I’ve been trying to hail a taxi but they kept refusing to give me a ride. It was then that I realized that TNVS is a good business venture.
Buying a car
The first car that I bought for TNVS business was a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage G4 2017. There are 4 reasons why I chose this car and these are:
It is fuel-efficient
It has low monthly amortization (12,987 Pesos per month)
It is affordable to repair
The replacement parts are easier to find
Fuel efficiency is very important in this kind of business. As we all know, the price of gasoline in the Philippines is very expensive and it continues to go up every year. In order to increase the income of your driver, your car must be fuel-efficient. If your driver will not earn, then your driver might quit if he doesn’t find driving profitable.
Amortization Cost is your biggest expense every month. Buying a car that have higher amortization cost doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t intend to use the car personally so I didn’t consider buying a fancier car. The lower the amortization cost, the easier it is to profit from the business. PERIOD.
Repair and maintenance cost is also a regular expense that you have to shoulder every month. I make sure I regularly change the oil to keep the engine running in good condition. I also make sure that the mechanic checks all possible damages so that we can repair it immediately. Mitsubishi auto parts are cheaper that is why my repairs and maintenance cost is lower compared to other TNVS operators who are using another brand of cars (except for Toyota of course).
Replacement parts for Mitsubishi Mirage are easier to find too! Since the car will be used almost every day, wear and tear of the auto parts are inevitable. I need to be sure that I can easily find the replacement parts.
Grabcar Operating Cost
LOOK! There are many things that you need to prepare for so make sure you handle your finances effectively. When I was just starting, I used all the money that I earned and didn’t save much for emergencies. I almost lost the car when it had to be repaired due to an accident and I don’t have many funds to pay for the amortization. LESSON LEARNED. Avoid this mistake if I were you. There are also other things that you need to prepare for. Below is a list of my expenses and my operating cost for Grabcar:
Amortization Cost: 13,000 Pesos per month
Maintenance Cost: 2000 to 5000 Pesos per month (depends if I need to repair something)
Comprehensive Insurance Cost for TNVS: 1000 Pesos per month (for 12 months)
My total monthly operating cost is from 17,000 to 20,000 Pesos per month excluding expenses for car registration with LTO and LTFRB franchise.
Grabcar Operator’s Income
For an operator collecting 1,000 Pesos per day, his gross monthly income will reach 26,000 Pesos. We assume that the operator is not collecting boundaries during coding days of the car. With a monthly expense of 17,000 to 20,000 Pesos, the net profit would be 6,000 to 9,000 Pesos. In most cases, this income is not enough for sustaining the whole family but this is good enough to cover some regular expenses like electricity, water or maybe groceries.
Gross Income
Total Expenses
Net Profit
26,000 Pesos
17,000 to 20,000 Pesos
6,000 to 9,000 Pesos
Personally, I don’t earn that much but I am happy with what I am getting. If the operational cost is high, your net profit will be low as well. If you have 3 cars, I can say that the earnings are decent enough to support some of your expenses. Having 3 cars is like having an apartment that earns 18,000 Pesos to 27,000 Pesos per month.
Your Grab Driver
Your Grab car driver is the key ingredient to the success of your business. Before you allow him to drive for Grab, secure valid government ID, proof of residency and NBI clearance for security measures. You are paying hard-earned money for your car so it is just right to make sure that you entrust your car to someone you did a background check.
Next, let driver operate his own business. What is important to you is that you get paid and that he doesn’t use your car illegally. Allow him to provide other services using your car. He is doing this so that he can feed his family and also, to pay the regular boundary. If you don’t trust him at all with your car, then don’t let him drive in the first place.
To increase your success in the business, make sure that you compensate your driver well. In my business, I make sure that my driver earns more than what I earn. After all, he does all the hard work. I also included benefits that he can use in the future. For instance, after 5 years of his commitment to me, I will give him the car. This is called boundary hulog for Grab Driver. This benefit increases the likelihood that your driver will stay with you longer and it is both beneficial to you and your driver. Lastly, your driver is your business partner – always remember that!
Secrets to Success
VERY IMPORTANT: Take care of your driver. Your driver is the key to success of your business. Take care of him and he’ll take care of your business in return. Treat him fair and square at all times.
Install a GPS. Buying a car is a huge investment especially for ordinary people like me. Having a GPS installed increases your car’s security feature.
Buy an insurance that covers vehicles used for TNVS. Some insurance companies does not cover vehicles used for TNVS.

Pwede rin nilang i-track ang kita nila at mag-instant cash-out sa kanilang bank account. May earning insights din sa app para matulungan sila sa pagplano ng kanilang finances. Bukod dito, may 24/7 driver-partner support at safety toolkit ang GrabTaxi para sa mas ligtas na pagbiyahe.

Pag nakuha na ang inyong PA mula sa LTFRB, makakatanggap kayo ng isa pang SMS na may mga tagubilin kung paano kukunin ang inyong PA sa Grab office.
Paalala: Kung ang iyong Provisional Authority (PA) ay nag-expire bago mo pa makuha ang iyong CPC, kailangan mong kumuha ng PA Extension para makapagpatuloy sa pagbibiyahe bilang TNVS.
STEP 3. Dumalo sa CPC Hearing.
Step 3.1. Ihanda ang Formal Offer of Evidence (download FOE here) na naglalaman ng lahat ng requirements ng LTFRB bago ang CPC hearing. Simula Mayo 2022, kailangan may kasama kayong Authorized Representative ng TNC sa hearing.
Kung wala, maaaring ma-dismiss ang application. Kung nais niyong magpa-represent sa Grab, pumunta sa Grab TNVS Assistance Hub at least 5-10 working days bago ang hearing para ma-submit ang requirements sa aming partner lawyers.
Online ang hearing process. I-check ang inyong email para sa Zoom link mula sa LTFRB. Para sa mga tanong, kontakin ang inyong Grab partner lawyer.
Step 3.2. Para sa dismissed cases
Kung nakatanggap ka ng ‘Dismissal Order’ pagkatapos ng tatlong (3) hindi matagumpay na hearing dates, kailangan mong mag-file ng Motion for Reconsideration para makakuha ng bagong Notice of Hearing:
Dalhin ang mga sumusunod sa pag-file ng iyong Motion for Reconsideration:
4 na kopya ng Motion for Reconsideration (na inihanda ng abogado)
Photocopy ng Dismissal Order
Special Power of Attorney kasama ang 2 photocopy ng government IDs (may 3 pirma)
STEP 4. Kunin ang iyong CPC mula sa LTFRB. Fully Accredited ka na bilang isang TNVS.
Mahalagang Impormasyon tungkol sa iyong CPC:
Simula 2018, ang CPC ay valid at renewable tuwing 2 taon.
Puwedeng gamitin ang iyong sasakyan sa TNVS hanggang 7 taon (mula sa petsa ng pagkakagawa).
Siguraduhing updated ang valid CPC mo sa Grab system para tuloy-tuloy ang biyahe.
STEP 5. Pagpapalit ng klasipikasyon ng sasakyan.
Pagkatapos makuha ang iyong CPC mula sa LTFRB, pumunta sa LTO sa loob ng 30 araw para mapalitan ang klasipikasyon ng iyong sasakyan mula Private owned to Public Utility Vehicle.

Electronic confirmation ng franchise (260 – 300 pesos penalty per month mula LTFRB hanggang ma-rehistro sa LTO)
STEP 6. CPC renewal or extension.
Ang CPC ay valid at renewable tuwing 2 taon. Kailangan ng LTFRB na mag-renew ng CPC ang bawat TNVS para makapagpatuloy bumiyahe sa napiling TNC. Siguraduhing valid ang iyong CPC sa ating sistema para tuloy-tuloy ang biyahe.
Paano mag-renew ng CPC?
Mag-file ng extension of validity (makukuha mula sa anumang law firm o notary public) ng CPC 6 buwan bago ang expiration date (walk-in).

Final Thoughts
Ang pagiging Grab driver o operator sa Pilipinas ay may proseso at requirements na kinakailangang sundin mula sa Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). Kung nais mong maging driver, kailangan mong magkaroon ng lisensya, magpasa ng drug test at background check, at tiyakin na rehistrado ang iyong sasakyan.
Para naman sa mga gustong maging operator, kailangan ng mga legal na dokumento, financial capability, at maayos na garahe.
Mahalaga ring manatiling updated sa mga updates sa aplikasyon, tulad ng appointment scheduling at legal assistance fees, para sa magandang karanasan sa pag-aapply.
Ang pang-unawa at pagsunod sa mga kailangang hakbang ang susi para sa matagumpay at legal na pagpasok sa Grab.
