Grab Philippines on Wednesday bared rolling out Grabcar services in Cagayan De Oro, providing its citizens a viable transport option and creating a new avenue for generating livelihood in the province.
Cagayan De Oro is the second city in Mindanao to welcome the GrabCar service.
“Our superapp model allows us to know and deeply understand Kagay-anons best – from the way they commute through GrabTaxi to the way they enjoy their everyday meals through GrabFood,” EJ Dela Vega, Grab Philippines head of Mobility Marketplace, said.
“Grab continues to be attentive to the needs of the market and we believe that now is the right time to offer Kagay-anons a mobility solution that not only meets their everyday needs but also positively contributes to the long-term success of CDO,” he added.
GrabCar services the city from Laguindingan Airport up to the end of Lapasan and Upper Balulang.
Cagayan De Oro city mayor Rolando Uy highlighted the strong partnership of the city with the leading super app.
“Cagayan De Oro actively forges partnerships with industry leaders like Grab as we make strides toward our vision of solid economic performance and a thriving citizenry,” Uy said.
“The launch of Grab in our city has given Kagay-anon entrepreneurs, drivers and riders access to a robust marketplace that fosters high-success potential – something only a superapp ecosystem can offer. We are glad to welcome GrabCar and are excited to see the new opportunities it brings for our kabayayans,” he added.
As a devoted partner for economic empowerment of the Cagayan De Oro local government, Grab Philippines will continue to leverage its technology, extensive network of highly engaged users, and community-focused approach to unlock new possibilities for growth and prosperity.
“The horizon of collaboration between Grab and the local government of Cagayan De Oro continues to be expansive. Together, we’re orchestrating a future of sustainable opportunities that create pathways for local everyday entrepreneurs to realize their aspirations,” Dela Vega said.
“This is a testament to the transformative power of partnership, innovative technology, and the boundless potential of the Filipino spirit,” he added.
