    The tax is in place to discourage people to drive, like a "sin" tax. Kung kasing mura ang kotse sa Pinas tulad ng US at Japan, eh baka di na tayo makagalaw sa kalsada. Yung lawak ng ibang kalsada di pa nagbago since the Spanish era, tulad ng sa Manila.

    Wrong, the tax was supposed to help promote the local manufacturers. A kind of protectionism of the local based industry. Unfortunately we do not have a local based car industry anymore. All we do is assemble imported parts.

    If it's a "sin" tax, it should be implemented every year upon registration and should get higher with every year the car is on the road, like what is done in Hong Kong and Singapore. This prevents cars that are already rolling junk heaps from getting back on the road.

    +1 on this

    and if it is suppose to be a sin tax how come even squatters can afford motorcycles

    in my opinion luxury cars and econoboxes should be tax 200% so that only those who can afford to maintain it can buy it. and that the roads wont be congested... government then should use the taxes for building mass transportation... not buses and jeeps but subways, trams and monorails

    toll fee should be minimum of 500pesos a pop

    am i being too selfish? bah humbug hehehe

    There's Tsikot.biz, and there's AutoTrader. Lot of cars are the same, but no two prices alike.

    So everyone would walk, then?

    Our government is not smart enough to make trains or promote buses, they're not even smart enough to make roads.

    And all of that's kinda stupid, 'coz it would just maintain the "elitist" status of owning a car.

    That is just muthaf*ckin bat f*ck insane b*tch!!!

    It's just a parody. But I like that "article", if you can call it that.

    GH is correct, tariffs are placed to protect the non-existent local auto industry. But jacking up auto prices to avoid congestion is...uhm...stupid*.

    you are being to serious and you dont get my point dont be too subjective when reading posts what im saying is that if govt will jack up the prices of cars and toll fees including parking fees and use it correctly to build mass transportaion hell owning a car would be more of a luxury so it would be more convenient to use monorails subways or trams as i've mentioned much like hk and singapore ....quicker and cheaper im sure you wouldnt be keeping your sorry ass innova if this happens here in the philippines

    (Our government is not smart enough to make trains or promote buses, they're not even smart enough to make roads.)
    yes because majority of the people voting for them are much like you oh by the way i never stated that they should promote buses.

    cheers and merry christmas
