In celebration of The Philippine STAR’s 29th anniversary, I figured I’ll give you a different sort of test drive report; one that actually takes into consideration your very busy day when you probably have less than five minutes to read through this entire piece.

                    [Summary] => While negotiating the twists and turns of Metro Manila the morning after a foreign head of state practically accused the Philippines of rigging the recently concluded South East Asian Games, the question hit me — are we really a nation of cheats? The natural reaction for such a heavy accusation would be one of anger, for sure. But after a little introspection, I found myself questioning our initial, albeit seemingly justified, strong disagreement with the said head of state’s assessment.

                    [Summary] => One of the biggest ironies in the local car industry is the fact that the world’s biggest car company — the one with the most mind-bogglingly diverse line of nameplates, brands, models and variants — has one of the smallest market shares here.	Sure, General Motors Automobiles Philippines (GMAP) has one of its best-selling vehicles in the U.S. market here (the Chevrolet Silverado), not to mention one of the best-selling brands in Europe (Opel) available locally as well.

I think there are now just too many Emission Testing Centers in cutthroat competition making the business no longer viable unless a player resorts to trade malpractices, which eventually result to corruption and inefficiency of the program.
