About SakayKo
A community-first transport app for Madridejos, Bantayan Island.
Why SakayKo exists
On Bantayan Island, getting around isn't like Manila. There's no Grab, no Angkas. People hail habal-habal at corners, message a driver they know, or ask in a Facebook group when they need something brought across town.
That works — until it doesn't. The driver is offline. You don't have their number. The Facebook post gets buried. You have a meeting in 20 minutes.
SakayKo is built around how transport actually happens here: barangay-to-barangay routes, cash payments, drivers you might already know, and the three things people most often need — a ride, an errand, or a delivery.
What we believe
Local drivers, fair pay.
Drivers keep 100% of the fare. No commission. We make money differently (TBD — currently bootstrapped).
You name the fare.
No surge pricing. You offer what you're willing to pay, drivers can counter, you pick. The fare you accept is the fare you pay — no surprise charges at the end of the ride.
Built for here, not adapted from elsewhere.
Pabili and Padala are unique to how island life works. Big-city ride apps don't have these. We do.
Where we're at
SakayKo is currently in pre-launch testing in Madridejos. We're working with local drivers and passengers to make sure the app actually fits how things are done here before opening more widely.
