    CAMPI is a MANUFACTURER's association... Of course it will always protect and lobby for their interest...

    I hard CAMPI is aggressively lobbying against a LEMON LAW. Syempre sa kanila makakasama yun. Bad for us consumers though...

    conversions from foreign countries should be stopped, IMO. but if CAMPI will not give back to the consumers, then the problem will not go away.

    the philippines lack a consumer organization that will perform research and will work for the benefit of the consumers.

    it's high time to create a consumer group dedicated to safeguard the interest of the buying public. it doesn't necessarily have to be a gov't agency, but an independent group which will demand more information from these distributors (if not car makers).

    it is unfair for the public to face a unified car distributors when there's nothing to counter balance it.
