Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito warns scammers of delivery riders that their days will soon be over after he files a bill seeking to protect individuals involved in food, grocery, and pharmacy delivery services. In a media briefing, Monday, September 5, 2022, Ejercito expressed optimism that the passage of Senate Bill No. 1234 would help safeguard delivery riders in their everyday work. “Incidentally, I filed a bill that will protect online sellers, delivery courier riders from pranksters and scams. Because of the booming online business, we’ve seen the rise of online pranksters victimizing our delivery riders,” Ejercito said. The senator also vowed to support the measures on SIM card registration, which will deter pranksters from doing their modus operandi. (Albert Calvelo / Senate PRIB)
