MANILA, Philippines — Motorcycle ride-hailing service Angkas is back on the road this week following the decision of a Mandaluyong City court temporarily allowing its operations. David Medrana, Angkas operations director, said yesterday they are in the process of re-training bikers to resume transport operations and better serve commuters before the week ends. Last month, Judge Carlos Valenzuela of the Mandaluyong City Regional Trial Court Branch 213 granted Angkas a preliminary injunction, which stopped the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to interfere in the operations of Angkas. With the court ruling, the government could not perform any act that will impede Angkas’ operations through its mobile application, including apprehension of its riders. They said the government would exhaust all legal remedies to rid the streets of Angkas, which they said is engaging in colorum operations.
