if we are gonna be specific with terminology, most Filipino "masses" also could not afford those passenger utility vehicles which cost more than P100,000 each
the true car of the masses is not a car
it's a motorcycle
just look at the number of "single" motorbikes on the road today
i'd like to see LTO data on new motorbike registrations
if there's a 5-year chart, it would definitely show an upward slope
anyone with a job that pays a little above minimun can afford to buy a motorbike (thru hulugan)
