While we saw a surge in activity during the pandemic, Grab’s Filipino partners have continued to thrive even after.
Mobile-first Filipinos quickly went online for their essentials, fueling activity on on-demand platforms. This surge in demand allowed platforms like Grab to offer income opportunities to thousands of Filipino delivery-partners. Today, 60 per cent of Thai Mango’s sales continue to be driven by the Grab platform; the rest come from website orders, dine-in, and event catering.To better understand the impact of gig economy employment during the pandemic, we worked with the Asian Development Bank in July 2022 to conduct a telephone survey of 1,200 GrabFood delivery-partners. The two-wheeler drivers collectively cover three large regions of operation: Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.
Although the world is moving past Covid, 95 per cent of respondents said they intend to continue working as GrabFood delivery drivers-partners, thanks to the flexibility of gig work.
