Given the risk being taken by the delivery riders to ensure all the essential goods are brought in on time and safely to prevent the spread of the COVID19 virus.
Needless to say, with the kind of exposure they have from other people, they unavoidably risk their family when the riders go back home.
Cognizant of the sacrifices and risks taken every day by their riders, J&T Express Philippines will be holding J&T Heroes: Bayani sa Makabagong Panahon to recognize the contributions of its delivery riders, on July 2, 2021 via livestream on their official Facebook page.
