On New Year’s Eve 2020, Jessica introduced herself online to Eric with a simple greeting ‘Happy New Year’. Jessica lives in Davao, Philippines and Eric lives in Michigan, USA. Despite the distance, that didn’t stop them from getting to know each other. They chatted and video called almost every single day. It seemed like love, but… for three years, they never actually met in person.

In early February 2024, Eric was finally able to make the trip to meet Jessica in person. As soon as they met, it truly was love. They spent a week together enjoying everything the Philippines had to offer.

While heart-breaking to have to separate after only a short week, on the last day, Jessica and Eric had a brilliant, creative, and amazing idea.

“What if we turned our whole experience and everything that is wonderful about the Philippines into an extremely fun board game?”

They spent all morning writing and drawing up ideas. Eric has years of being a designer and Jessica wants to be an elementary teacher. They put their superpowers of learning and creativity together, and 🇵🇭 TAKSI 🏁 was born.

Now, Eric and Jessica are back to being separated with hopes that one day they can reunite in the US.

🇵🇭 TAKSI 🏁 is not just a game.

Taksi is Jessica and Eric’s gift of fun times with friends and family to the world with the hope that it funds a new chapter of their life together in the US.
