Grab to file motion for recon on LTFRB’s order

Grab Philippines country head Brian Cu on Wednesday announced in a social media post, Grab will file a motion for reconsideration on LTFRB’s July 11 order, which directs TNCS to deactivate all their TNVS partners without PA/CPCs.

Cu made the statement after the LTFRB convened for the first time the TNC-TNVS technical working group, Wednesday morning.

The meeting, which was attended by Grab, Uber, and U-hop, discussed the possible impacts of the LTFRB’s order to passengers and the TNVS.

In its order, the Board said operations against colorum TNVS will intensify starting July 26.

“We thank the LTFRB for convening us this morning to discuss the July 11 order,” Cu said. “Grab is filing a motion for reconsideration tomorrow which will start the process for further discussion on resolving the issues on colorum drivers.”

According to Cu, after the motion is filed, the “implementation of the July 11 order will be temporarily extended until the LTFRB and all the stakeholders have come to an agreement on the way forward for the TNVS.”

Cu also expressed his gratitude to honorable Sen. Grace Poe, chairperson for Committee on Public services and Sen. JV Ejercito “for taking the lead in ensuring that the riding public’s concerns are heard.”

“Their keen interest shows that they firmly believe that technology plays a big role in solving transport issues,” Cu added.

Cu also reassured passengers and partners that Grab always considers their best interests at all times, and that the company will remain steadfast in its commitment to serve its passengers and partners.
