#the intern

Someone in the Grab team got inspired by "The Intern" movie as the company opens opportunities for our beloved senior citizens. Grab Philippines is now accepting applicants aged 60 years old and above to be part of their first Senior Citizen Customer Experience Team. Well, Grab tells on their page that senior citizens will help fellow seniors in using the Grab app. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has raised concerns over the future of its Land Transportation Management System (LTMS), citing unresolved cybersecurity issues and system deficiencies as the agency opposes a proposal to extend its contract with technology provider Dermalog. During a recent House Committee on Transportation hearing, LTO Executive Director Martin Ontog said the agency has reservations about renewing Dermalog's involvement in the LTMS, pointing to audit findings and unresolved issues that have persisted years after the system's implementation. According to the LTO, the deficiencies could expose millions of driver and vehicle records to potential security risks and may affect compliance with the Data Privacy Act. Dermalog had earlier sought support for an additional PHP 2.5 billion budget for upgrades to the LTMS, saying the funding would be used for cybersecurity improvements, fraud detection capabilities, and anti-corruption measures. The company's contract with the LTO expired on May 30.
