What Do You Guys Think? Two weeks ago the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) had a dialogue with Taxi operators here in the Philippines.

*facepalm* While both Uber and Grab narrowly avoided catastrophe no thanks in part to the intervention of Senator JV Ejercito, both companies are now facing yet another roadblock to compliance with the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
