At the recent Health & Wheelness Driver Care Event, over 4,000 partners from the platforms’ driver communities and their families participated in seminars and workshops. The MMDA, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), First Metro Asset Management, and Pag-IBIG shared their expertise on healthy diet, social protection, road safety, and financial well-being.
The attendees were also given access to various health check-ups, including medical, dental, and optometric. Together with partner Generika Pharmacy, Grab and MOVE IT gave away vitamins, health supplements, and appropriate medications following the free consultations. The platforms also provided 700 pre-registered participants with complimentary dentures customized to their dental prescriptions.
Grab and MOVE IT also continued to leverage its partnerships with Pag-IBIG and PhilHealth for an efficient accreditation and membership application process for its partners. With dedicated booths at the event, these government social protection agencies efficiently issued new Loyalty Card Plus and health IDs.
Government agencies like Pag-IBIG also had their dedicated booths, further encouraging more Grab and MOVE IT partners to become official members and avail of essential social protection servicesGrab Philippines Head of Cities and Business Operations CJ Lacsican shares, “Totoo na walang tatalo sa sipag at diskarte ng mga Grab driver- and delivery-partners at MOVE IT rider-partners. Sa kanilang kasipagan, minsan nakakaligtaan nilang bigyang pansin ang kanilang kalusugan. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit patuloy tayo sa pagsasagawa ng iba’t ibang hakbangin upang kanila rin namang mapangalagaan nang husto, hindi lamang ang kanilang hanapbuhay, kundi na rin ang sarili nilang kalusugan.”
Participants also enjoyed an array of self-care services offered at the event. These services included complimentary haircuts, massages, and nail cleaning sessions – providing a much-needed respite for the platforms’ hardworking partners.
Leading to the event, Grab and MOVE IT hosted an online seminar for partners, ensuring wide access to wellness education, and to support partners unable to attend the on-ground activities.

Grab and MOVE IT also extended their support to their partners’ vehicles with complimentary oil change services offered by Shell and Mechanigo.Ph.
Grab and MOVE IT’s shared commitment to the wellness of drivers and riders also encompasses harnessing the power of technology to encourage healthier lifestyles within their driver and rider communities. One such innovation is the Fatigue Nudge for Grab driver- and delivery-partners, a feature designed to prompt partners who have been online for more than 10 hours to take a break and rest. Additionally, in-app learning platforms GrabAcademy and Ka-MOVE IT Academy offer a variety of courses on physical and mental health, as well as financial well-being, readily accessible to drivers at their convenience.
