Vice President's Office, QC launch produce delivery app amid ECQ

The Office of the Vice President and the Quezon City Government launched a Community Mart app which would allow certain Quezon City residents to buy fresh produce and dry goods from the Kamuning Market have their purchases delivered to their homes.

“Sa pagtutulungan ng ating Tanggapan at ng Quezon City Government, ang proyektong ito ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga small market vendors at tricycle drivers na magkaroon ng mas maayos na kita, sa gitna ng epekto ng Enhanced Community Quarantine sa kanilang kabuhayan,” Robredo said in a statement.

“Napadali na ang iyong pamimili, makakatulong ka pa sa ating mga kababayan,” Robredo added.

Using the app, vegetables, fruits, meat, among other products, can be purchased and delivered on the same day, provided that orders are placed before 12 noon. Orders placed after 12 noon will be delivered the next day.

Barangays in Quezon City covered in the project’s pilot run include:

• Kamuning,
• Mariana,
• Obrero,
• Sacred Heart,
• Laging Handa,
• Pinagkaisahan,
• South Triangle,
• Paligsahan, and
• Roxas District.

“Ang tinatanggap naman ngayon na Cash on Delivery lamang, ngunit inaayos na rin ang ibang modes of payment,” Robredo said.

“Sa kasalukuyan ay limitado sa areas na iyan ang service na ito, habang sinisikap nating palawigin ang proyekto sa mga susunod na araw,” she added. — DVM, GMA News
