The partnership offers meaningful support to thousands of driver- and delivery-partners in Cebu, motivating them to be on the road to help local businesses better reach and serve their consumers, and provide safe mobility services to every Cebuano
7 April 2021, CEBU CITY PHILIPPINES – Mobility and on-demand delivery services will continue to play a role in driving economic activity through various sectors and supply chains as Cebu’s domestic economy prepares for a gradual reopening.
Shell Petroleum Corporation, the Philippines’ longest energy firm, and Grab Philippines, Southeast Asia’s leading superapp, have teamed up to help Grab’s driver and distribution partners, who are critical to Cebu’s longer-term socio-economic recovery by providing secure and dependable mobility and delivery services.
Pilipinas Shell and Grab Philippines will cooperate on a number of projects that will support thousands of Grab driver and delivery partners in Cebu, allowing them to save money on their everyday expenses and gain more on the Grab platform.
- Through this partnership, Grab driver- and delivery-partners in Cebu will be able to enjoy exclusive fuel discounts at Shell stations, and avail budget-friendly rice meals in Shell Select Stores as low as PHP 30.00.
- Grab delivery-partners will no longer need to queue behind other cars and vehicles, as Shell has also dedicated special biker lanes to ensure that their vehicles are well-conditioned to continuously serve the consumers and support merchant-partners in Cebu.
- To support their medical consultation and insurance needs, select Grab driver- and delivery-partners – who have maintained a monthly average re-fuel of 200 Liters and 50 Liters, respectively, for at least six months, can also qualify for insurance and telemedicine services via the Shell Go+ Pro Loyalty Program.
- Lastly, Grab driver- and delivery-partners in Cebu may also apply for Shell-subsidized scholarships for their children – easing their worries on tuition fees and allowing them to make the most from their earnings on the Grab platform.
Pilipinas Shell and Grab Philippines want to inspire and empower their driver- and delivery-partners to get out on the road and help local businesses continue to serve their customers, resulting in new revenue sources for businesses that are still struggling to get back on their feet.
“We welcome this opportunity to partner with Grab Philippines to help restore mobility and reinvigorate the economy of Cebu,” said Randy Del Valle, Pilipinas Shell’s Vice President for Retail and General Manager for Mobility. “We recognize the important part that their Grab driver and delivery-partners play in restarting businesses and bringing essential goods and services to the public in a safe and reliable manner. Pilipinas Shell is committed to this partnership which will help mobilize this city’s progress and economic recovery for years to come.”
“We are committed to supporting the needs of our driver- and delivery-partner communities in Cebu as they play an essential role in helping local businesses better reach and serve their consumers, and providing safe transport services to many Cebuanos who need to be in their workplaces to perform essential economic activities. By working together with Pilipinas Shell on a range of meaningful initiatives, we are able to continue helping our driver- and delivery-partners with their everyday needs, and we hope that they will continue to be on the road to serve the needs of our kababayans in Cebu, and contribute to the city’s broader socio-economic recovery,” says Grab Philippines Country Head Grace Vera Cruz.
