Pakuha meaning: in English, Bisaya, Cebuano, Tagalog and Ilonggo
A parcel waiting at the counter, an order ready for pick-up, and no time to get it. “Pakuha” is the Filipino word for exactly that. Here is what it means and how it works.
Bisaya: Pakuha: ipakuha sa usa ka Hopper ang imong butang.
Tagalog: Pakuha: ipakuha sa isang Hopper ang gamit mo.
What pakuha means (English, Bisaya, Tagalog, Ilonggo)
Pakuha comes from the root kuha (to get or fetch) and means “please get or pick this up for me”. In English it is a pick-up errand — someone collects a thing and brings it to you. It is the same word pakuha in Tagalog, in Bisaya (Cebuano) and in Ilonggo (Hiligaynon). People say pakuha for a parcel waiting at a courier counter, an order ready at a store, laundry, a document to claim, or the lunchbox left at home. On HazzaHub a pakuha is an errand a local Hopper runs for you: collect it at one place, bring it to another.
How it works
1. Open HazzaHub and choose Deliver. 2. Pin where the thing is now and where it should go. 3. Say what to collect and show the claim slip or order number if there is one. 4. A Hopper picks it up and brings it the same day, with a gate code at hand-over.
What it costs
You set the price. The app suggests ₱20 for an errand inside your own barangay and ₱30 to another barangay, each covering the first 3 km of road, then ₱22 per km by day (₱27 per km from 6 pm to 6 am). Customers pay no booking fee.
Paying
Pay by E-wallet (GCash, Maya and bank apps through QR Ph) or Cash on hand.
Good to know
If the counter needs a signature or ID to release the item, add that in the errand so your Hopper is ready. Money paid to claim it is separate from your price.
