also a bit OT...been recently to Davao, pansin ko they have lots of Surplus/refurbished units there, Kia Avella yung mga unit, and I'm pretty sure these units are also that old but still nagka-franchise pa din...just wondering!

Samin po dito sa davao, yes marami pang non-air kia taxis pero d na po pwede kumuha ng new franchises ang mga non-air . aircon nalang ang allowed . and if you have noticed we have some new taxis, specifically Kia Rios, Nissan Sentras and Chevrolet Aveos. may mga kia avella rin dito . aircon karamihan . pero mostly is the old kia pride . new ones are those i mentioned above, nissan sentras AFAIK is 250-300 units - mabuhay taxi and Chevrolet Aveos from Holiday taxi .
