Grab Philippines and its driver partners co-developed a new commission scheme to protect the latter’s income amid the challenging economic conditions.
“This commission scheme, as part of its overall Ka-Grab Rewards program, has been well received by Grab partners as it introduces new mechanisms that allow partners who drive the most on the platform to further maximize their earning potential,” Grab said.
“One of the mechanisms include a new fare rebate program, enabling drivers who are more frequently on the road, to receive larger cash payouts,” it said.
Grab said it engaged its partners to co-develop the commission scheme over several months, which was only announced to the driver community upon reaching a full consensus and after multiple rounds of consultations and forums.
Grab’s statement came on the heels after Jun De Leon, national president of Laban TNVS, opposed the alleged 2-percent commission rate increase of Grab, which would take effect on Dec. 1, 2022.
