Uber, however, earlier announced it would extend operations only until April 15, as it no longer has the financial capacity to sustain operations. The PCC has since ordered both TNCs to explain by April 17 why Uber was shut down amid the ongoing review on the acquisition deal between the two companies. For its part, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) last week, contrary to the orders of the PCC, ordered Uber to cease and desist operations in the country starting April 16. —Jon Viktor D.
