Road looking clear for car-hailing in the Philippines

Despite Uber's recent suspension, regulatory improvements likely for the sector

  • We expect public criticism over the recent suspension of Uber to speed up legislative proposals on car-hailing.
  • A car-hailing law is likely to entice new players to enter the industry.
  • Existing public transportation may improve in order to compete.

The recent suspension of Uber in the Philippines led to a huge outcry from consumers who had become used to the service.
