Philippine judge clarifies Uber can run over Christmas, but no new drivers

A Philippine judge clarified on Saturday that his court had ordered a temporary halt on granting permits to drivers wishing to join the networks of ride-sharing companies like Uber and GrabCar, but not suspended the firms’ operations in Manila during the busy Christmas period. Judge Santiago Arenas issued the clarification on a commercial radio station a day after the Quezon City regional trial court raised confusion with a ruling that some people had interpreted as placing a near three-week ban on Uber and GrabCar drivers in the capital. “We are not stopping the operations of these companies,” Arenas told dzMM radio station, explaining that it was the application for permits from prospective drivers that had been suspended.
