MANILA, Philippines — Starting December 31, 2019, ride-hailing firm Grab Philippines will start reimbursing passengers who were overcharged on certain periods this year.

Last November, the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) fined Grab a total of P23 million for breaching pricing commitments.

P5 million of the total fine will be used by Grab to refund its clients.

Those who have completed the process can directly redeem the amount which will be credited to their GrabPay Wallet accounts.
