A ride from Manila to the capital for Arnel's new job

Arnel has a job waiting in the capital but can't afford the move; a lift, shared van or spare seat would solve it.

I have been offered a job in the capital, starting on Saturday in August. I can't afford the bus and the 6 boxes I need to carry with me, and moving costs are beyond my means. If you or someone you know is driving between Manila and the capital, I'd love to share the journey, and I can cover fuel. If you have a van and a free day, even better. I'm a good conversationalist but happy to be quiet. I have a reference from my last employer and from the person I'll be renting from in the capital. Thanks for being kind about this.
