Grab Food Riders Form Volunteer Group, Delivers Goods to Taal Volcano Evacuees

By Ernie Lopez

Surrounded by selfless Grab Food delivery riders at the Cuenca Central School in Batangas.

During our relief operations at Cuenca Central School in Batangas, I met this group of Grab Food delivery riders who distributed goods to families affected by the eruption of Taal Volcano. 

Despite the suspension of their operations, which is their only source of income, each rider took time to gather goods for evacuees, and even shelled out around P300 for their fuel from Laguna to Batangas.

This just shows that the bayanihan spirit is alive and well among Filipinos.
