Grab Philippines has officially broken ground on the Grab Asenso Center in Marikina City, a one-hectare facility designed to empower its driver-, rider-, and merchant-partners, including those from MOVE IT, its motorcycle taxi platform.
The Grab Asenso Center will offer comprehensive programs in onboarding, skills training, road safety assessments, and digital capacity building, creating pathways for more inclusive digital economic opportunities in the country.
The facility, set to open in early 2025, will replace the current Grab Partner Center and feature a larger, state-of-the art road safety training and assessment area, enhanced spaces for onboarding and orientation, and dedicated upskilling areas.
Ronald Roda, Grab Philippines Country Head, led the ceremonial groundbreaking and highlighted the center’s transformative role in enabling inclusive prosperity.
“For over 13 years, Grab has been a platform that drives not just economic activity but meaningful impact,” he said. “The Grab Asenso Center will ensure our partners – whether drivers, riders, or merchants – are equipped to succeed in today’s digital-first economy. This facility represents our commitment to uplift communities and empower everyday entrepreneurs to thrive.”
This initiative also accelerates Grab’s ongoing pledge to create 500,000 livelihood opportunities. The Grab Asenso Center will play a critical role in sustaining Grab’s strong momentum on livelihood creation while catering to the evolving needs of its driver-partners and MOVE IT’s rider-partners.
