The popular motorcycle-hailing app Angkas will continue operating despite a recent Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) resolution ordering the apprehension and impounding of its riders and motorcycles. The Dec. 12 LTFRB resolution stemmed from a Supreme Court temporary restraining order against a Mandaluyong court ruling allowing Angkas back on the road. ADVERTISEMENTBut in a statement, the LTFRB warned Angkas to follow the law and to respect the Supreme Court decision. “What we’re concerned with is our riders’ needs.”Since Thursday, the LTFRB has been apprehending dozens of riders along Edsa. This prompted Angkas to file a petition for declaratory relief in 2017, before Mandaluyong RTC Branch 213 Judge Carlos Valenzuela.
