In the wake of Typhoon Odette, Grab Philippines has partnered with the Philippine Red Cross and Ronald McDonald Kindness Kitchen where users can donate to relief operations via GrabPay and GrabRewards Points to support microentrepreneurs in Cebu.
In a statement, Grab said this is part of the initiatives it rolled out to give access to basic necessities and support the recovery of local businesses in Cebu.
With electricity and network reception still intermittent in Cebu, Grab dedicated its Cebu office to serve as a support hub for driver- and delivery-partners in need of power supply and network reception for their devices.
Grab also collaborated with Phoenix Petroleum for dedicated refuelling slots for driver and delivery-partners.
Teaming up with local small and medium businesses in Cebu, Grab is fully-funding a consumer campaign offering 20 percent off on all GrabFood orders until February 2022, and will also provide affordable meal options to Cebuanos through GrabFood.
Grab’s Cebu Operations Team continues its regular visits to MSMEs and driver- and delivery-partners to check on their needs.
Local businesses and microentrepreneurs in need of assistance - regardless of their affiliated platform, can reach out to grb.to/bangoncebu and Grab will immediately deploy its team to support them.
Grab driver- and delivery-partners can claim their Calamity Assistance from Grab through the GrabCare Package which also includes emergency top-up, hospital assistance, and vehicle repair assistance.
A dedicated team facilitates the processing of applications so that partners can receive the support within days.
Apart from that, Grab also provides SIM cards with built-in data package that driver, delivery, and merchant-partners can use and top-up through the Grab Cebu Office.
