Uber is Watch What Every Frenchwoman Wants Onlinefighting back against the Philippines.
Despite being slapped with a one-month suspension by the Philippines' land transport authority, Uber announced on Tuesday that it would be "resuming and continuing operations."
SEE ALSO: It's more bad news for Uber this monthThe Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) announced Uber's month-long suspension, after the ride-hailing giant disregarded an earlier order not to accept or activate any more new drivers on its platform.

The LTFRB ordered Uber to "cease and desist" its operations, which Uber had originally agreed to, according to a tweet sent out on early Tuesday morning.

However, Uber released another statement later on Tuesday afternoon, saying that it would be "resuming operations" and had filed a motion for reconsideration with the LTFRB.

Uber is willfully breaking the rules, because it knows it has the support of the public.

Not sure if that is arrogance or confidence.
Please Uber comply this time, or at least clarify these @LTFRB rules before doing anything. Commuters ang kawawa e.

Please do your best so you can resume operation before 30 days. And follow the rules.

Looks like Filipino commuters might have to turn to Grab -- a major Southeast Asian ride-hailing service and Uber's main rival in the Philippines.
Unlike Uber, Grab has so far complied with the LTFRB's orders to stop accepting and accrediting new drivers, according to a report on Rappler.
This is not the first time Uber has violated international transportation laws.
Italy had earlier this year placed a temporary ban on Uber -- a ruling that was later suspended after Uber appealed.
France has also been pushing back against Uber's growth, with authorities saying that the service should be subjected to the same licensing fees and insurance requirements as taxis.
And just to make matters worse -- ousted Uber CEO Travis Kalanick was earlier this week sued for alleged fraud by one of the company's most important investors.
Mashable has reached out to Uber Philippines for comment.
