the problem In the Philippines, especially in Metro Manila, average Filipino people spend most of their time working to earn a living. They try their best to accomplish household responsibilities with unpredictable work demands. To be able to attend to other important matters such as spending more time with their family, most people opt to seek assistance from a family member or hire someone to do their errands for them.

our solution errunds aims to help working Filipino people manage and accomplish their weekly tasks with the help of skilled professional workers. In a mobile application platform, users will be able to schedule and book household errands and choose helpers at their convenience.

interviews I can go to the market myself but it will be better if someone can do it for me so that I can spend more time on my weekends with my family. After school, I wanted to prepare a homecooked meal, but ended up buying fastfood because I don t have the time. Family is my priority. I make sure my family s basic needs are not compromised while I work. And when I don t work, I make sure my kids and husband feel that I am with them and not somewhere else. I can live on sandwiches, but a proper homecooked meal is better! On some days, I am forced to bring my baby with me just to accomplish some errands. I hope I have someone to watch her for me, or better if there will be somebody to do the erunds for me. That way I won t have to leave my baby.
