Tama lang. Ano yan, habal-habal na on demand. To begin with, it is unsafe.

kamusta na pala yung “Premium Taxi” ng LTFRB?
di pa magamit, wala pang makina… *evil.laugh*
Hey, these services are important so why should we follow existing laws?
Are you really asking why should we follow existing laws? Hey, medical services are important and we don’t have enough doctors, so why should I require my doctor to be licensed by the PRC?
