TRANSPORT network vehicle service (TNVS) drivers and riders in the Philippines earn significantly more than the government-mandated minimum wage, according to a study commissioned by the International Labor Organization (ILO). The survey, covering 12 of the country’s 17 regions, found that TNVS drivers and riders earn an average net weekly income of P6,704, after deductions. This figure surpasses the national minimum wage, which ranges from P498 to P695 per day — or roughly P4,865 per week. Conducted from June to December 2025, the survey interviewed 400 respondents across nine platforms providing food delivery, logistics, parcel delivery, and ride-hailing services. It has a 5 percent margin of error. The study was presented during the Department of Labor and Employment’s 2026 National Tripartite Conference. According to the ILO, the study aimed to analyze working conditions in the platform economy, document labor practices, assess the impact of digital platforms on employment, and guide policies on enterprise formalization and social protection. Also, the findings show that nearly 90 percent of TNVS drivers and riders have access to social protection provided by their platforms, including health insurance, workplace injury coverage, and pension or retirement benefits. Survey respondents cited flexibility and decent earnings as the main reasons for choosing platform work, with many noting that the income is better than other available employment. Platforms have also implemented initiatives to improve working conditions, such as increasing earnings and incentives, enhancing training and safety, and strengthening operational support and communication. The study also noted that ride-hailing platforms are actively assisting drivers in securing mandatory government benefits through the Social Security System, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund.
