How Sugoa Ko works
Sugoa Ko (“command me” in Cebuano) is the Philippine errand marketplace: pabili, padala, pila-for-me, home repairs, cleaning, deliveries, lessons — posted by you, done by verified Magpasugo, protected by escrow.
For Manugo (need something done?)
- 1
Post your errand
Pick a category, describe what you need, set a fee budget — and optionally an item budget so your Magpasugo is guaranteed to be paid back for whatever they buy.
- 2
Choose your Magpasugo
Verified Magpasugo send offers with their price, ETA, and reviews. Pick the best one — or invite a specific Magpasugo directly.
- 3
Pay into escrow
Send the exact amount to Sugoa Ko: your Magpasugo's price, any item budget, plus your small 5% share of the platform fee. We hold it safely — the Magpasugo can't be paid until you confirm, and you can't lose it to a no-show.
- 4
Confirm & rate
Job done? Confirm to release payment and leave a rating. Problem? Open a dispute and a moderator decides using the full chat record.
For Magpasugo (want to earn?)
- 1
Verify once
Sign up, upload your valid ID (front and back), and pick the categories you work in and the city you serve.
- 2
Send offers on errands near you
Get notified the moment a matching errand is posted in your city. Offer your price — you set your own rates.
- 3
Buy with confidence
The item budget is locked in escrow before you start — the Manugo can't back out or dodge it. Buy the items, upload the receipt, and the full cost is included in your payout.

Keep 95%
When the Manugo confirms, your payout goes to your GCash. Your share of the platform fee is just 5% — shared with the Manugo — still the lowest cut in the market. During promos, we may waive it completely.
One small fee, split fairly — here's why
Sugoa Ko exists to solve two needs at once: Manugo need quality, skilled, trustworthy help — and skilled Magpasugo need a fair way to reach the people who need them. Because both sides benefit, both sides share the platform fee: 5% from the Manugo and 5% from the Magpasugo of the agreed price. On occasion we run promos that reduce or completely waive these fees. Every peso goes into keeping Sugoa Ko safe and dependable for everyone — escrow protection, moderated chat, human support, and continuous improvements to the app.
Why the escrow matters
Money never passes hand-to-hand. The Manugo pays Sugoa Ko first; the Magpasugo works knowing the money is already secured; release happens only on confirmation. Every negotiation stays in moderated in-app chat — so if anything goes wrong, a human moderator with the full record decides fairly.
