Grab Philippines has signed a new agreement with the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) to extend the regulatory review of its driver incentive program by another year, underscoring ongoing corporate oversight following its 2018 acquisition of Uber’s Southeast Asia operations.
The extension—formalized under a 2025 undertaking, the third such agreement between thebparties—allows the PCC to complete its assessment of driver incentive reports for the 15th and 16th monitoring quarters (May–October 2023), which remained pending after Grab’s voluntary commitments lapsed in November 2023.
As part of the renewed arrangement, a third-party monitoring trustee will be appointed to oversee Grab’s compliance with non-exclusivity and incentive-related obligations. Provisions for corrective action and penalties in case of violations are also outlined.
“Grab has always been committed to complying with government regulations as part of our responsibility to commuters and to the Philippine transport sector,” said Sherielysse Bonifacio, chief corporate affairs officer of Grab. She emphasized the importance of collaboration with regulators to strengthen the industry and better serve Filipino users.
The review is a continued regulatory safeguard following Grab’s merger with Uber in March 2018, in which Uber exited the regional market in exchange for a 27.5 percent stake in Grab.
