Grab submits list of drivers, partners for fuel aid program

Grab on Wednesday said it has submitted a list of its drivers, riders, and delivery partners for inclusion in the government’s fuel assistance program amid allegations it was concealing its roster of drivers.

In a statement, the ride-hailing company assured continued coordination with government agencies.

“We remain committed to working closely with concerned agencies to ensure that all qualified beneficiaries are properly considered,” the company said in a statement.

According to a report on Unang Balita, Rex Gatchalian earlier said some transport companies failed to submit their drivers' names, as doing so could supposedly expose them for exceeding their authorized operating capacity.

Grab, however, said it has put in place on-ground appeals mechanisms.

“These efforts are intended to assist driver, delivery, and rider partners—regardless of affiliation—by addressing concerns, gathering information for revalidation, and facilitating possible endorsement in succeeding submission batches,” it said.

The company added that it stands with the government in protecting livelihoods during the current period of rising fuel costs.

On Tuesday, fuel companies announced double-digit increases in the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), effective April 1, 2026.

The LPG Marketers Association earlier warned that the price of an LPG tank could reach as high as P1,500 this April due to rising shipping costs linked to limited access to the Strait of Hormuz.—Joahna Lei Casilao/MCG, GMA News
