MANILA: The Philippines' anti-trust agency said it has ordered Uber Technologies Inc to continue domestic operations as it reviews the ride hailing firm's deal to sell its money-losing South-East Asian business to rival Grab.

The move puts another hurdle in the transaction, following an order by Singapore's competition watchdog that Uber delay its shutdown by a week because of an ongoing review.
