China continues tirades vs. foreign gov'ts opposing its presence in Philippine reef
China on Thursday lashed back anew against foreign governments opposing the large and provocative presence of Chinese fishing and militia vessels in a reef off the West Philippine Sea. As of Thursday, more governments spoke against the lingering presence of nearly 200 Chinese vessels in Julian Felipe Reef, located 175 nautical miles of Bataraza, Palawan, saying its actions undermines peace and security in the region and violates international law. Defying calls from the Philippine government and other countries to pull out of the area, China accused its critics of coming out with “irresponsible comments” and “using the same scripts.” “Neither these diplomats understand the basic facts, nor do they have the ability to think and judge...

The Hyundai Alcazar is yet another promising vehicle from India
The Suzuki S-Presso, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a good number of promising rides come out of the Indian market. We say "promising" because vehicles over there are built to take on less-than-stellar road conditions not too far off from what we have in the Philippines.

What Hyundai has up its sleeve here isn’t a minuscule mass-market crossover, but a "premium" seven-seat "SUV." Air quotes are in order because premium is a word thrown around quite often in automotive marketing, and the way segments are labeled over in India is a little different compared to how it’s done here. Remember: Over there...
Chinas statement on 183 militia vessels spotted in West Philippine Sea unbelievable maritime expert
