MANILA, Philippines — Ride-sharing company Grab Philippines on Sunday said it would implement additional measures to prevent carnapping incidents from happening. The Transport Network Company made the announcement after one of its driver-partners, Gerardo Maquidato Jr., was killed in an apparent carnapping incident last October 26. “We are currently discussing tech solutions that would decrease, if not completely hamper, the chances of carnapping incidents involving Transport Network Vehicle Services,” Grab said. “Due to this incident, some Grab and Uber drivers are now asking riders if it's possible to present valid IDs before the ride. They also foresee that these culprits may target Uber Pool and Grab Share users to "hit two birds,” she added.
