RIDE-HAILING firm Grab Philippines has set the full operations of Grab Asenso Center in the first quarter of 2025 to offer expanded facilities for road safety training.
The company yesterday broke ground for the Grab Asenso Center in Marikina City which will replace the current Grab Partner Center.
“For over 13 years, Grab has been a platform that drives not just economic activity but meaningful impact. The Grab Asenso Center will ensure our partners – whether drivers, riders, or merchants – are equipped to succeed in today’s digital-first economy. This facility represents our commitment to uplift communities and empower everyday entrepreneurs to thrive,” Roda said.
This initiative also accelerates Grab’s ongoing pledge to create 500,000 livelihood opportunities. It said Grab Asenso Center will play a critical role in sustaining its strong momentum on livelihood creation, while catering to the evolving needs of its driver-partners and that of Move It.
Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said Grab Asenso Center serves as a model of public-private collaboration in advancing transportation and livelihoods.
“App-based platforms like Grab are key drivers of inclusive growth, bridging technology and opportunity. Initiatives such as the Grab Asenso Center complement our efforts to modernize mobility while creating more dignified and sustainable livelihoods for transport workers. We look forward to seeing its impact on building a safer and more professional transportation network,” he said. Grab said the Grab Asenso Center serves as a cornerstone for its mission of uplifting lives through technology and innovation. By integrating Move It into its programs, Grab ensures that all its partners, regardless of platform, are equipped with the skills, tools and support needed to thrive in the digital-first economy.
