Grab, Move It instigate full scale relief effort

Grab Philippines and Move It launched a comprehensive disaster relief and community support initiative following the devastation caused by the intensified southwest monsoon which has displaced thousands and disrupted livelihoods across several regions in Luzon. 

The initiative includes immediate aid and longer-term recovery support for Grab’s ecosystem of drivers, delivery partners, merchants, and consumers, and is being rolled out in close coordination with local government units and national agencies. 

“Our hearts go out to the communities hardest hit by this week’s inclement weather.  At Grab, we believe our role as a platform goes beyond connecting services – it means showing up when it matters most. We are fully mobilized to support our partners and the broader public in this time of need. Through targeted financial assistance, medical support, and relief coordination, we aim to help affected Filipinos recover safely and swiftly,” Grab Philippines managing director Ronald Roda said.

Grab and Move It have reactivated their GrabCare and Move It Malasakit programs to extend financial and welfare support to affected driver- and rider-partners. Grab’s Emergency Response Unit – an in-house rapid-response team trained for on-ground crisis support – remains on heightened alert and is working closely with emergency services to respond to incidents involving Grab partners or passengers during the typhoon’s aftermath. 

Furthermore, Grab Philippines has reactivated its GrabBayanihan program — a GrabRewards redemption initiative that enables users to convert their points into donation vouchers supporting McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen and World Vision. Vouchers valued at PHP20, PHP50, and PHP100 may now be redeemed for as low as 60, 150, and 300 GrabRewards Points, respectively. Through this initiative, Grab aims to help scale food relief and community support programs of its partner organizations for families affected in need of assistance.
