Ride-hailing giant Grab Philippines has raised concerns over what they perceive as unjust allegations on the recommendation to ban its motorcycle taxi firm Move It.

, earlier said that Move It's operations "may have to be halted" due to questions concerning its connections with Grab Philippines — the transport network vehicle service which acquired the former in 2022.

"The PCC and the DOTr reiterated this in a committee hearing conducted by the House Committee on Transportation in the past," it added. "We respectfully submit that Move It must not be singled out as this is anti-competitive and discriminatory," Grab said. "This is a welcome development as the Grab-Move It deal has skirted previous orders from the technical working group of the motorcycle taxi program not allowing Grab to participate in the program," said Gustilo on Wednesday.It could be remembered that the Department of Transportation allowed only three operators in its pilot study — Angkas, Joyride and Move It — which later on granted them provisional authority to operate.

"The affected riders should be accommodated by motorcycle taxi firms if the TWG will adopt the recommendation so that the passengers will not be burdened by this action," Gustilo said.
