Ai-Ai delas Alas praised a female delivery driver for her determination to finish her master’s degree.
Last night, October 1, Ai-Ai recounted her encounter with the lady rider who delivered the food her husband Gerald Sibayan ordered online.
She said: “Gusto ko munang i congratulate si ate lalamove (jennifer name nya) nagulat ako nag order asawa ko ng food nag ring ang phone boses babae (so akala ni gerald naka angkas sa asawa) yun pala sya mismo ang delivery driver…”
Even though it was raining heavily, the Kapuso star did not stop from seeing and talking to Jennifer.
She added: “lumabas talaga ko sa bahay kahit malakas ang ulan gusto kong makita ang isang babaeng masipag, matyaga, lakas ng loob…”
Ai-Ai delas Alas then shared her conversation with Jennifer which definitely touched her.
“Ate congrats ang sipag mo naman,” she told the lady rider.
The lady rider replied: “Hello mam (medyo excited sya nakita nya ko) mam mag mamasters kasi ako nag ipon ako tuition.”
She told the lady rider: “’congrats ate ang GALING MO IBA KA!!’”
According to Ai-Ai delas Alas, she hopes many more women will emulate Jennifer as gender has not been a barrier of becoming a rider.
Ai-Ai delas Alas said in her ‘papuri’ post, “napakadami pading babaeng madiskarte mabuhay ka JENNIFER .. sana ay madami pang katulad mo para sa pangarap nila sa buhay… GOD BLESS YOU MORE and MORE.”
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a handful of women also worked as Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) drivers. But lady riders are rare in the food delivery sectors.
