A decade ago, if you told us that Chinese car brands would be among the top 10 sellers in the Philippines, we’d tell you to get lost. But the latest data from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. has proven just that – Geely and Foton were 9th and 10th, respectively, in terms of units sold locally in 2022.

IPC announced in a press statement that it is holdin

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) has finally spoken about whether or not it will bring in the Honda WR-V.
