Personal thanks to the DLSU-Dasmarinas Department of Development Studies for the inviting me and "Chok" to the symposium. The enthusiasm and hope in the eyes of your youthful audience was most encouraging. May pag-asa pa ang Pilipinas, ang Lupang Hinirang!

Sana nga ma-revive ang Cavite fabrication industries to create more jobs and save us more dollars. (The 50,000 jobs that major automakers have created here are peanuts compared to the 12 million Filipinos who reluctantly have to leave their families behind to work abroad.) Prof. jpdm, sana mabasa ng mga students mo symposium paper on EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS FOR A FILIPINO CAR.

Our country really needs to shift from consumption to production mode.
If we can't sell our produce, it wouldn't be surprising for us to end up selling ourselves.
So let's promote Filipino industries and products. GO NEGOSYO! BUY PINOY! :2thumbsup:

Where can i purchase assembled hummer replica?

[jpdm]

imus, cavite sir may kilala ako. pm nyo ako. yung modelo nila dpende sa specs na gusto nyo.

[spectral]

Dprox, medyo masama yung fit ng PAJERO dashboard sa CHOK, specially under the steering wheel area. Parang pinilit maipasok, crooked yung sa right plastic side.

Plus the dangling wires on the left underside, the workmanship needs improvement.

Thanks for your observation. For a first-bat R&D unit that cost no more than 450K (2003-4 prices) - with accessories and the specs given - that is fine with me. Chok is not competing with luxury assembly-line vehicles, but it will last longer, since those vehicles have an engineered lifespan of 4-5 years. Compared to the standard XLTs and AUVs, I think Chok is basically on better footing.

I chose a Pajero IP for my Chok because of the possibilities it offers in terms of accessories. The ports you see at the right of the steering column are on standby, while I'm still saving up for future accessories. The wires are visible because I tried to install a 3-tone siren the day before, but junked the idea.

But post-R&D vehicles will be better, perhaps with simpler IPs, depending on the owner's choice of power train. Once the first challenges have been identified, workmanship issues can be solved by picking the right build team and QA personnel.

BTW, you remind me of an old poster named heinrich, even in your emphases. Uncanny similarity. He was a hard critic who never quite learned what "the best is the enemy of the good" means. Everything for him was either black or white. Mabuti na lang you said "medyo" this time.
