Neither do we. Apart from serving convenience to consumers, platforms such as 500-backed superapp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grab.com\/\">Grab<\/a> fuel the gig economy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This was apparent when the pandemic hit, with urban mobility in the Philippines falling to 26% of the pre-lockdown level. With Filipinos quickly going online for essentials, this surge in demand allowed Grab to offer income opportunities to thousands of Filipino delivery-partners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entrepreneurs of micro, small, and medium businesses turned to on-demand delivery services as a lifeline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One example: Thai Mango operated under the GrabKitchen central kitchen model to keep operating costs low. Today, 60% of their sales continue to be driven by the Grab platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To better understand the impact Grab has had on Filipinos, Grab conducted a survey among 1,200 GrabFood delivery-partners. They found that the platform\u2019s gig opportunities offered positive experiences, particularly because of flexible working hours, competitive earnings, and independent working conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The average driver earns US$100 per week more than the transportation industry mean. The average daily income of GrabFood delivery drivers was found to be approximately double the country\u2019s minimum wage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grab also offers a safety net by providing accident and life insurance, medicine allowance, hospital assistance, amongst others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All this is aligned with Grab\u2019s mission of creating flexible earning opportunities for thousands of Filipinos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/46pGja4\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greener pastures for all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4673,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[143],"class_list":["post-4672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-grab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Daily Markup #882: Grab delivers more than just food in the Philippines;
