Grab Philippines, a steadfast ally in the nation-building endeavors of the government, is intensifying its dedication to fostering economic empowerment in Cagayan De Oro. With the official introduction of its flagship mobility service, GrabCar, the company is not only presenting Kagay-anons with a practical transportation choice but is also establishing a fresh avenue for livelihood generation and economic stimulation in the City of Golden Friendship.
Renowned for its safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, GrabCar stands as a trusted mobility service for Filipino commuters. Currently covering the area from Laguindingan Airport to the end of Lapasan and Upper Balulang, GrabCar has become an essential alternative for the commuting public. Cagayan De Oro marks the second city in Mindanao to embrace GrabCar, advancing the superapp’s mission to create sustainable opportunities and foster economic growth in the region.
EJ Dela Vega, Head of Mobility Marketplace at Grab Philippines, emphasizes the company’s superapp model’s ability to deeply understand Kagay-anons, offering a mobility solution that not only caters to their everyday needs but also contributes positively to CDO’s long-term success. Cagayan De Oro Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy highlights the strong partnership between the city and the leading superapp, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunities GrabCar brings to Kagay-anons.
The launch of GrabTaxi in 2015 marked Grab’s initial step in digitalizing the taxi ecosystem in Cagayan De Oro. Through close partnerships with key taxi operators, Grab has onboarded numerous GrabTaxi driver-partners, significantly boosting their earnings potential. Beyond mobility, Grab expanded its presence with GrabFood in May 2020, creating a thriving ecosystem for local entrepreneurial ventures. Notable success stories include Frkn Burger, a homegrown CDO merchant-partner, experiencing substantial growth and earning recognition as a Golden Grab Awardee for 2023.
As a devoted partner to the economic empowerment of Cagayan De Oro’s local government, Grab Philippines commits to leveraging technology, a vast user network, and a community-focused approach for continuous growth and prosperity. Dela Vega emphasizes the expansive horizon of collaboration, showcasing the transformative power of partnership, innovative technology, and the boundless potential of the Filipino spirit
