The House of Representatives approved a measure to legalize the operations of Angkas, a motorcycle ride-hailing service. According to a report by Manila Bulletin, during the Congress' Wednesday session, they passed the "Motorcycles-for-Hire Act" or House Bill 8959, which authorizes the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to legalize the operations of motorcycles as public utility vehicles (PUV). Measures seeking to legalize Angkas operations followed soon after LTFRB's decision. Back in January, Angkas faced another situation in which their operations were stopped by LTFRB for non-coordination with the board.
