A member of the House of Representatives is pushing for a measure to protect independent couriers amid the COVID-19 crisis.
In a statement on Sunday, House Deputy Majority Leader and Bagong Henerasyon Rep. Bernadette Herrera said House Bill 7559 or the proposed “Magna Carta of E-Commerce Delivery Personnel, aims to provide wider protection for independent couriers for e-commerce companies like Shopee and Lazada, saying they have become"inadvertent frontliners.
The bill seeks to prohibit the cancellation by any customer of confirmed orders upon delivery, and the cancellation of orders"if the items have already been paid by the delivery rider, is in possession of the delivery driver, or in transit to the customer.”
