There are currently no membership fees and Kuya only charges for what you order. “Every day we help people across our city to book tables at the hottest restaurants, reserve movie tickets for the latest show, or even provide directions if they are lost and don’t have access to the internet, all for free” said Nathania Chua, Marketing Manager for HeyKuya.
Despite the wide use of mobile devices in the Philippines, many are still not internetsavvy, or have to look for an area that offers a WiFi connection. This is where HeyKuya takes over by connecting through text messages, an affordable and reliable form of communication.
