PNP calls out Angkas tweet comparing motor ride service to sex

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is calling out the motorcycle ride hailing company ‘Angkas’ over its recent tweet and promo that says their riding service is like ‘sex’.

On Tuesday, the company posted that ‘Angkas is like sex. It’s scary for the first time pero masarap ulit-ulitin’.

The ride hailing service then said that it will be giving promo codes to first time users using the word ‘Sariwa’ which means fresh or haven’t been touched.

The PNP in a tweet said that it was a wrong move for Angkas because it is not promoting safety.

“This is not acceptable to commuters. Matatakot ang tao sa Angkas pag ganito. This is not promoting public safety in transport business anymore,” the PNP said in a tweet.

The PNP then tagged the Land Transportation Office and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatoty Board to act on the matter.

Netizens are divided over the tweet while some are laughing over the Angkas’ wittiness when it comes to promoting its services, others find the recent promo ‘unacceptable’.
