maybe that is the reason... maybe i'm wrong...

the "alipin" part...? let's just say, it's a two-way street, madam. sometimes, i'm not sure who is the alipin...

going back to thread...
i'm sure the medreps have a car plan. but i do not know which one from among jut's list (entry #26), they fall under. what with all the tools of the trade that they are required to carry, it would be difficult to do without.
I've met an ex-med rep na walang company car. Nagcocommute daw talaga siya with all his samples and flyers.

For the majority though, they get entry level vehicles (minicars mostly nowadays, pinakamaganda na Vios). It depends on the pharma company of course - don't expect Pfizer to have the same benefits as a startup pharma.

Wala pa kong nakikitang med rep na naka Altis. What company offers that?

When I was new in the workforce, I was told that in terms of benefits for field staff (car plan, per diem, hotel allowances, etc), there's a certain hierarchy based on industry. Lowest was pharma, then telco, then FMCG, then petroleum. So far I find this claim to be true. Of course the company matters too, a multinational FMCG will probably have better field benefits than a local petroleum company.
