Philippine regulator Uber and Grab has ordered Uber to cease trading in the country for a month. The government has accused the US ride hailing service of accrediting new drivers, despite orders to desist in June. Approximately 7,000 drivers out of 120,000 in the Philippine private transport sector have proper accreditation. Critics of the move have expressed concern that it could lead to a shortage of taxis.
