As part of a push to win retail investors back from online gambling and crypto, PSE president and CEO Ramon Monzon is courting listings from consumer-facing names — among them Angkas, the Creador-backed motorcycle taxi platform, which he said plans to go public as early as this year and could draw in its own passengers and partner riders as shareholders. The exchange counts just 3.64 million stock market accounts against roughly 10 million online gambling accounts.

Angkas moved its rider and biker communications off high-cost ad-hoc SMS and onto MoEngage as a central segmentation and journey-orchestration layer, using automated flows to nudge passengers at booking drop-off points and push timely earnings and incentive prompts to drivers. The platform reports up to 30% higher and faster adoption of driver incentive programs, up to 10% higher conversion, and roughly 30% savings on communication costs — plus new revenue from turning in-app spaces into targeted ad placements

Angkas is looking to grow AngCars, the four-wheel ride-hailing service it launched in Metro Manila in 2024, beyond its current fleet of roughly a thousand units and into the provinces. CEO George Royeca said the priority is putting more EVs on the road — the company has been working with vendors in China and the Philippines toward a larger electric fleet — while it awaits passage of the Motorcycles-for-Hire Act and a DOTr order covering continued two-wheel operations.
