Cavite once again has two Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) dealerships following the recent opening of Isuzu Dasmarinas. The Japanese carmaker said in a September 2023 press statement that this is the second dealer of Iconic Dealership, Inc. (IDI), which also operates Isuzu Bacoor. IDI had also handled Isuzu Imus before its permanent closure. Situated along the Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, the new dealership has a total land area of 5,000 square meters with a spacious showroom that can display u

Great Wall Motor (GWM) Philippines officially inaugurated its first dealership in the country, with plans to expand nationwide. The fledgling Chinese carmaker held a ceremony at its U.N. Avenue dealer in Manila on Aug. 3, 2023. This was nearly four months after the showroom had held its soft opening on April 2023.

It was like any other work day for 63-year-old Doreen Bacus on the morning of Sept. 24, 2022. As traffic thinned out on the corner of Elizalde Avenue and Aguirre Avenue in Barangay BF Homes in Paranaque City, the elderly street sweeper quickly headed into the street to broom up some clutter. Job done, she turns around to move to the next bit of trash on the street. A nearby CCTV camera sees what she can't: a white Mitsubishi Pajero barreling towards her. Without even braking or taking any avoidi

Mitsubishi's obsession with retaining the L300 brand every year is akin to Filipinos' obsession with Voltes V. It's long-standing, occasionally feel-good, sometimes head-scratching, and full of nostalgia. Most local folks feel the same about the Japanese diamond star nameplate. However, the spartan sturdiness of the all-purpose hauler made it a hit (especially in the provinces), so why mess around with a swinging act?
