ogpro,

no need to point out who's not constructive, its a waste of time.

Tsikot PHUv team,

Remember what Japan, Taiwan and Korea did, their miracle economies started by building their own capabilities--e.g coming up with imitations of western products through reverse engineering; unreliable and ugly vehicles, tvs and radio. The important lesson here is that the japanese, taiwanese and koreans, with eyes closed, patronized their national products. In the 1950s, products coming from these countries are of poor quality.

Whatever money these " inferior industrial products" earned in their home country, were re-invested in R&D to improve their products.

Now, especially Japan (no.2 economic power:source of world class industrial products), Korea (3rd largest economy in asia), and Taiwan (top 20 trading nation in the world with OEM capability in auto, electrical, semicon and electronics).

Its a growth model that we should emulate, konting sakripisyo, sa PHUV ng MVPMAP, sa PHUV ng Tsikot at ang i-de-develop pag ibang PHUV.

Bilib naman ako sa mga nag-ko-contribute sa thread. Hein et al know what they are talking about. And that is what the PHUV proponents and the dying domestic auto industry need.

Again win-win solution ito. pag nabuhay ang parts industry dahil sa PHUV-the ancillary (related) industries will follow. maraming makikinabang na FILIPINO!

Look at Korea, di ba? hiram lang sa sasakyang hapon ang itsura at kaso-kasuan ng mga sasakyan nila tulad ng hyundai (mitsubishi), kia (mazda), sangyong (mercedes), daewoo (gm).

Fast forward today, Hyundai has Tucson and Starex, best selling di ba?

Kung kaya ng Korea ( kasing laki lang ng Mindanao), kaya din natin. payag ba tayo na mas matalino sila sa atin at bobo tayo? Kung pang star section ang Japan, taiwan, Korea,Thailand--tayo dun sa pinakabulok na section?

Just imagine if we can work together, perhaps by simple endorsement and through word of mouth that whatever PHUV will come out , we can help sell the PHUVt then, cguro naman aayusin na ng MVPMAP ang PHUV o maggagawa ng ibang version to suit the sophisticated taste of private owners.

I hope the PHUV will be patronize by the million strong transport group in the Philippines and gain loyal following from private owners too, if not in urban areas at least in the countryside.

Long live the PHUV proponents!!!
