                    [Summary] => Remember the "people’s car"? One of the main stumbling blocks to the program, as claimed then by the proponents, was the 15-percent excise tax. With Republic Act 9224 reducing the said tax to a mere two percent, the "people’s car" would now be a very affordable alternative to the middle-income earners who have been aspiring to own brand new vehicles.

                    [Summary] => The Olongapo Regional Trial Court stopped the government from implementing the controversial Executive Order 142 of President Arroyo that virtually makes life harder for owners of imported vehicles.


In a five-page decision, Olongapo RTC Branch 72 Judge Eleodoro Ubiadas said EO 142 conflicts with the provision of the Tariff and Customs Code that says additional duties and taxes cannot be levied on any imported vehicle one year after the initially required fees have been settled.

number one?

A dispute over which company really sold the most number of motor vehicles last

(Campi), Honda's corporate communications chief Arnel Doria said that some
industry members had misled the public into believing that the automotive

Doria's letter apparently was referring to Toyt
