BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

$5 billion fine urged for ride-hailing company GrabTaxi

May 04, 2018 Reprints

Jericho Nograles, member of Philippines' lower house of parliament, said that Singapore-based ride-hailing firm GrabTaxi Holdings Pte. Ltd. must be fined 270 billion Philippine pesos ($5.2 billion) for charging an unauthorized PHP 2 per minute for millions of rides since 2017, Philstar.com reported. Mr. Nograles said that the penalty is separate from the PHP 3.2 billion that Grab needs to refund to customers. Grab admits to starting the travel-time rate on June 17, 2017, and stopped it following the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board's order on April 20.
