MANILA, Philippines – The Senate committees on public services and local government hear on Monday, January 20, the pros and cons of officially acknowledging motorcycles as public utility vehicles for proper regulation.

The new guidelines also impose a 13,000-biker cap for each motorcycle taxi provider: 10,000 for Metro Manila and 3,000 for Metro Cebu. As a result, the initial 27,000-biker fleet of Angkas would lose up to 17,000 bikers.
