This is integrated in Radyo5’s drive-time programs, such as “Orly Mercado All Ready” and “Punto Asintado” for the morning rush hour; “Cristy Ferminute” and “Remoto Control” for the after-office rush. They offer alternative routes and motoring tips that benefit motorists and commuters. The Radyo5 Taxi Squad also goes full-swing at the regional level where a recruitment activity was recently held in Park Mall Mandaue City. Highlighting the network’s commitment to cause journalism beyond news, the members were first given a coaching session on how to identify and report news-worthy incidents. This was then followed by an oath-taking session where the Taxi Squad’s Code of Conduct was reinforced. The participants were touched with the special treats prepared for them by Radyo5 Cebu — actually, a first for most of them. This included free medical check-up, haircut and massage, lunch and snacks, and loads of freebies from valued sponsors. Entertainment from local shows such as “The Gud, the Bad and the Agley”, “Guardian Blade” and “BTS” also left them in stitches.
And finally, Radyo5 Taxi Squad is also all geared up in Davao, where a Caravan is set to be held this October 22 – 23 in the garages of the biggest cab companies in Davao. Interested participants, both newly-recruited and renewing members, will undergo a seminar about road rules and proper by the LTO, orientation about Philhealth and an exclusive news reporting seminar led by News5’s Davao reporter Paolo Anota.
Radyo5 Taxi Squad is supported by Talk N’Text, year round. For any questions and inquiries about Radyo5’s Taxi Squad and its upcoming activities, please contact the hotline +63939-166-1443.
