In the wake of Tropical Storm Kristine, which wreaked havoc on several parts of the Philippines, Grab Philippines and MOVE IT stepped up to provide much-needed relief to thousands of affected families.
The leading superapp and homegrown moto-taxi platform distributed over 1,000 relief packages filled with essential supplies such as rice, canned goods, and hygiene kits to families—including drivers and local residents—in the hard-hit areas of Cavite and Laguna.
Grab and MOVE IT also have comprehensive calamity assistance programs designed to support their driver- and delivery-partners during these challenging times.
Through the GrabCares and MOVE IT Malasakit programs, partners can easily apply for assistance through a streamlined application process available on their driver app.
“Sa tuwing may kalamidad, kaming mga delivery-partners na hindi gaanong naapektuhan ay nakikipagtulungan na agad sa Grab para mag-volunteer sa mga ganitong klaseng relief operations,” shared Perpe Mahinay Disoacido Jr. of Grab Ugnayan Advocates, a network of Grab delivery-partners.
“Sa pamamagitan ng aming community channels, na-identify namin agad ang mga kabahayan na nangangailangan ng agarang tulong. Itong mga ganitong klaseng impormasyon ang ibinabahagi namin sa Grab para sa mas mapabilis ang pagtugon at pagtulong,” he added.
Aguinaldo Larioso, a community leader of MOVE IT riders, also takes pride in the community’s bayanihan spirit. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa MOVE IT at sa Grab sa tulong na ibinabahagi nila sa komunidad. At saludo kami sa bawat rider na piniling hindi bumiyahe makapag-abot lamang ng tulong sa mga kapwa naming rider na nasalanta ng bagyo. Buhay na buhay ang bayanihan sa MOVE IT and Grab.”
