Dingdong Dantes experiences being a delivery rider for a day: “I realize how difficult this job is”

Kapuso star Dingdong Dantes expressed his admiration and respect to all the delivery riders as he shared his realizations after he experienced being a delivery rider for a day.

In his Instagram account, Dingdong posted a photo of him while he was delivering food on Valentine’s Day. According to Dingdong, he was able to complete 6 deliveries and he shared that he started at 9:30am and ended before 3:00pm. Dingdong also shared his realizations on his experience. Dingdong expressed his admiration and respect to delivery riders ‘across the board’ as he wrote:

“I finished 6 deliveries this Valentine’s Day. But on an average, delivery riders accomplish around 8-10 transactions on good days like this one.

I started at 9:30am and ended before 3pm, and as i sit here at home waiting for early dinner, I realize how difficult this job is. There are so many factors to consider: heat, dehydration, heavy traffic, wrong addresses – which can cause panic and delays, customer’s temperament, plus the danger of getting into accidents especially if you have not been properly trained.

And yet, our riders out there try to wear a smile at all times, and make everything look bearable. Maybe it’s because of their clear “why” and strong motivation. Ginagawa nila ito para sa mga mahal nila sa buhay.

Kaya hanga talaga ako sa lahat (across the board) ng delivery riders na araw araw ay tapat at magalang na naglilingkod at tumutulong sa pag-arangkada ng ekonomiya ng bansa. And today, mas lalo pang tumindi ang paghanga at respeto ko sa inyong lahat. That’s why i will never get tired of my mission of professionalizing this industry, especially for those who want to be successful in this field.”
