“Grab Philippines is working closely with the other local government units to extend GrabCar Bayanihan service to support their residents with safe mobility service going to and from their vaccination centers,” Grab Philippines claimed in its statement.

Aisde from helping the vaccination program of the government, the GrabCar Bayanihan program will also provide livelihood opportunities for Grab driver-partners residing in the aforementioned Metro Manila cities.

“Grab remains committed to ensuring the safety and welfare of our kababayans most especially during these challenging times. By working together with our local government partners in Metro Manila on their COVID vaccination efforts, we play our part in ensuring that our kababayans are safe, well, and healthy - and we look forward to working on the same goals with the rest of our national and local government partners. As we all work towards a safe and gradual recovery for our communities, Grab will continue to leverage its platform and technology to ensure that our kababayans have the means to get inoculated,” she added.
