Über and Grab have made commuting so much safer, easier, and more convenient. Anyone who actually uses them would know. #WeWantUberGrab

Used to ride w drivers who didn't make me feel safe. Some were rude & obnoxious, some cat-called, some demanded more money. #WeWantUberGrab

In fact, I always tell the story of how I almost got kidnapped while riding a taxi alone, in the middle of EDSA. #WeWantUberGrab

I use their services almost everyday! It's been such a convenience esp with limited parking, traffic and coding. #WeWantGrabUber

Can't believe the LTFRB has the audacity to ban the one thing that's functional in this country.

So much BS. This move by LTFRB towards Uber and Grab is corruption at its finest. #WeWantUberGrab
