Grab services in cities seen

Grab, the leading super-app in Southeast Asia, is bringing its food and parcel delivery and cashless payment services to more cities in the Philippines. Grab aims to help more Filipinos access daily essentials more easily, particularly amidst the ongoing pandemic situation.

Grab has been focused on national expansion in the Philippines since January of 2021 when it introduced GrabFood, GrabExpress and GrabPay to Zamboanga. Services have since rolled out to Sta. Rosa, Laguna; Concepcion and Capas towns in Tarlac; General Santos City in South Cotabato; Legazpi, Albay; and Butuan, Agusan del Norte.

The super-app also intends to expand its presence in Zambales by introducing its GrabFood, GrabExpress and GrabPay to the Subic Bay Freeport Zone this month.

“We’re pleased to make more services available to more cities across the Philippines. As part of our GrabForGood initiative, we’re committed to helping as many people as possible leverage our offerings to help them safely and easily purchase and pay for essential items, especially as they continue to face the challenges of the global pandemic. At the same time, we can empower Filipinos who need to maintain their livelihood by giving them opportunities to earn supplemental wages by joining our community of driver- and delivery-partners. Access to digital tools supports not just individuals but entire communities, and we’re excited to see the new cities we’re reaching- and those we will reach in the future- flourish with more opportunities and options for both workers and consumers,” said Cindy Toh, head of Grab’s Cities and Expansion.
