MANILA, Philippines — Motorcycle ride-hailing application Angkas stands to face a penalty for defying the Supreme Court (SC) order last week that again stopped its operations. “Let me reiterate that the TRO from the Supreme Court is about the injunction granted by the RTC. The same SC order required DBDOYC Inc. to submit its comment to the petition of transport authorities within 10 days from notice. In the assailed RTC order, the judge barred the LTFRB and the Department of Transportation from interfering with Angkas’ operations pending the hearing and resolution of DBDOYC Inc.’s petition for declaratory relief. The court order also prohibited the apprehension of Angkas bikers when they are in “lawful pursuit of their work.”The LTFRB stopped the operations of Angkas in November last year due to the lack of a franchise to operate.
