This PHUV indeed stirred the imagination of many people--in fact, created an attainable hope--that the Filipinos can finally see a more cleaner environment with euro compliant, better looking PUV/PUJ (ok, baka may troll na sumulpot na naman, di yung prototype--si tableta!) and reduce maintenance costs for drivers and operators.

At the same time, ordinary people can finally own a much cheaper (CAMPI manufactured models--700k-2million)brand new and quality utilitarian vehicle---to replace their dilapidated or outdated vehicles with surplus parts.

Admittedly, the prototype was a letdown, and all of us including me reacted like spurned lovers. The initial overwhelming negative comments I think are expected but the incessant, repetitious, below the belt--ad nauseum--destructive comments-- that call for the shelving of the PHUV project as a whole has forced me to launch a blistering defense of the PHUV project. I was even mistaken as doing PR for the MVPMAP.

its an advocacy--- for we (especially the tsikot phuv team and mvpmap) might save thousands of jobs.

Go tableta!Go chok (ni DPROX)!
Prof...

If there's one thing the mvpmap has proven, it's that even with half a$$ed planning, IT CAN BE DONE. That gives me great hope for the Tsikot Phuv. We are definitely capable, even more so with the type of advance planning and research being done. All this forum talk has also shaken some talented individuals out of the woodwork (That Tableta certainly looks promising!). I wish I had this resource when we were designing our first airgun!

Hmm..the tableta....nice! Its unique form will give it a pinoy-distinctive look. It is just the kind of funky-cute that will appeal to the younger generation of drivers, but, it seems that it is better suited as a smaller brother to the phuv. I can't picture it in utility vehicle format, can anybody help with the visualizations please?
