“We wanted to simplify the way people discover and access these hyperlocal gems,” shares Grab Philippines Country Head Ronald Roda. “Filipinos are naturally curious and adventurous–this tool is designed to reflect that energy and reduce the friction between interest and action. Now, anyone can go from ‘I want to try this’ to ‘I’m already on my way’ in seconds.”
