The refreshed MG Extender could be a strong contender in the PH truck wars

🔒 Closed The refreshed MG Extender could be a strong contender in the PH truck wars

As impressive as MG Philippines’ performance has been in our market since its resurgence a few years back, there’s still one thing that’s missing from its stable: a pickup. It’ll have the midsize SUV segment covered once the RX8 arrives, but we’ve yet to hear about the carmaker’s plans to add a truck to its lineup. The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI) does have big plans for its booming brand this year, though, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that it decides to bring in the MG Extender here as well, especially since the truck has just received a substantial facelift in Thailand. Less than two years since its introduction, MG’s pickup has already been given a redesign. Gone are the honeycomb-like grille, the chunky headlamps, and...

🔒 Closed Philippines Lags Asia Pacific in COVID-19 Response: Think Tank

🔒 Closed NCR to impose 2-week curfew, starts March 15 2021

To say that we live in strange times is an understatement. While we know that the pandemic is far from over, we see several industries and entire provinces opening and easing travel restrictions. Unfortunately, a significant spike of COVID-19 infections continues as we speak. With that, the 17 mayors of the National Capital Region (NCR) decided to impose a curfew from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM across the Metro. In an online media briefing, Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Benhur Abalos announced that the spread of the virus must be contained. The MMDA reckons a two (2)-week curfew may help slow it down. After a meeting with the Metro Manila Council (MMC), Abalos took to the internet to deliver the announcement...

Gordon hits motorcycle dealers for not releasing papers to installment buyers

🔒 Closed Gordon hits motorcycle dealers for not releasing papers to installment buyers

MANILA, Philippines --- Sen. Richard Gordon lashed out on Monday at motorcycle dealers for allegedly refusing or delaying the release of original receipts (OR) and certificates of registration (CR) to buyers paying on installment. During a Senate blue ribbon committee hearing, Gordon said his office had been receiving complaints from consumers, who said dealers refuse to release their OR and CR until they had made full payment. The senator lamented the practice, which he said enables dealers to resell the motorcycles as demonstration units. Further, he questioned why in some cases consumers were made to sign a promissory note, which he said would allow dealers to repossess the motorcycle. "When [the buyer] can't pay, the motorcycle...
