MOVE IT is strengthening its commitment to providing viable livelihoods and social protection for its rider-partners as it becomes the first motorcycle taxi platform in the Philippines to subsidize Pag-IBIG Monthly Savings for top-performing riders. The program marks a landmark step toward making state-sponsored welfare programs more accessible to platform workers in the country’s rapidly expanding mobility sector.
The program covers high-achieving riders in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Cagayan de Oro, identified through strict metrics on service quality, safety performance, and productivity. It gives qualified MOVE IT rider-partners access to Pag-IBIG Fund’s full range of financial services — from affordable home financing and short-term loans to its high-yield MP2 savings program — giving thousands of platform workers a pathway to long-term security.
To avail of the subsidy, drivers must have their Pag-IBIG Membership ID (MID) number linked to their MOVE IT profiles. Qualified riders can then apply through a dedicated portal within their driver app, which will cross-reference their performance records and uploaded Pag-IBIG Fund membership details.
MOVE IT general manager Wayne Jacinto shares, “Sa patuloy naming pakikipag-usap sa ating mga community leaders at rider-partners, malinaw ang mensahe: higit pa sa patas na kita, mahalaga sa kanila ang magkaroon ng kalayaan at kakayahang pumili ng uri ng social protection na akma sa kanilang pangangailangan at pangarap.”
Following his discussions with rider communities, Jacinto underscored the critical role of platforms in providing access to social protection programs. “Kaya napakahalaga ng access sa mga programang tulad ng Pag-IBIG Fund – para sa pabahay, ipon, at tulong pinansyal sa oras ng pangangailangan. Sa MOVE IT, sinisiguro naming bukas ang pintuan para sa bawat rider na gustong maging miyembro ng mga ahensyang ito. Katuwang natin ang Pag-IBIG Fund sa pagbibigay ng kaalaman at oportunidad para makapaghanda sila para sa mas maayos at mas ligtas na kinabukasan.”

To make social protection more accessible for both two-wheel and four-wheel drivers, MOVE IT and Grab have designated satellite-office spaces for SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund at the Asenso Center in Marikina, a hub for onboarding and training programs for current and aspiring driver-partners. The partnership with the agencies also covers Social Protection 101 courses geared at empowering platform workers to voluntarily contribute to long-term financial security and planning.
Grab pioneered Pag-IBIG Fund subsidization for its top-performing GrabCar and GrabFood driver-partners in the second quarter of 2025 — a move that, alongside MOVE IT’s latest rollout, reflects the platforms’ shared commitment to extending welfare benefits to the country’s independent workers.
