In a male-dominated industry, Lovella Tagalog puts her foot down as queen of the road. Based in Cebu, Lovella juggles her time by working both as a GrabExpress and GrabFood delivery rider-partner, and a mother.
“Tama lang ang kita ngayon pero nakakaraos pa din, buti na lang at katulong ko ang partner ko na home-based. Bilang isang ina, Nagpapasalamat ako kasi naiintindihan nila ang trabaho ko na nasa labas at wala sa bahay. Pinapaliwanag ko sa anak ko kung bakit ako wala, at naiintindihan naman niya,” shared Tagalog. (“I’m earning enough for the family to get by. It’s also a good thing that I get help from my partner who’s home-based. As a mom, I’m thankful that my family is understanding of my work. I’ve explained to my child why I need to be outside at a time like this and he’s been very understanding.”)
