MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) suspended the operations of three transport network companies (TNCs) for one year due to violations of their franchise conditions.
LTFRB Chairman Vigor Mendoza II said the suspension order was issued to Leggo Information Technology Solutions, Get Express Global Corporation, and Ipara Technology and Solutions, Inc. after failing to respond to separate show cause orders (SCOs) for non-compliance with rules governing ride-hailing services.
Mendoza said the companies were cited for the absence of active, internet-based digital technology required to support their partners and clients—an essential component of ride-hailing operations.
“They were given all the chance to respond and explain the violations they committed but they failed to do so. This is what happens when you ignore or disregard legal notices from the LTFRB — you will suffer the consequences of your action,” Mendoza said.
According to the LTFRB, despite being served separate SCOs, none of the three TNCs submitted an explanation within the prescribed period, prompting the Board to issue a suspension order effective for at least one year.
The LTFRB advised commuters and prospective ride-hailing applicants to refrain from transacting with the three while the suspension remains in effect. The Board said advisories have been issued to inform the public of the decision and urged them to verify the regulatory status of service providers before engaging their services.
Mendoza also reminded all TNCs and their partners to strictly comply with LTFRB rules and regulations to ensure smooth and lawful operations.
