The Honda Cars experts are scrutinizing the car very closely and handling it with utmost care... The way I see it, the car seems to have passed through some cracks in the quality checks. Cracks that were most probably created by their CBA discussions a few weeks back...

IMO kahit maayos lahat yan di na talaga 100% maging ok yan. kumbaga lamog na sa kaka-kalikot. pero ok na yan at least ginawan ng paraan.

In fairness to Honda Cars Philippines, the way I saw them handling the car, hindi ito lamog... You could say, 'pampered' pa yung unit...

yep im sure world class ang alaga nila pero iba pa rin yung tanggal-kabit then tanggal kabit uli na mga parts..i wouldnt want that in a bnew car.

thats the best solution na rin cguro, walang lugi on both parties.

I thought the article came out with P. Star? Isn't Tulfo from the Inquirer?

baka wala kasing napala sa Star kaya kay Tulfo nalang.

Can you elaborate more on their CBA?

I was told they had some problems with their labor unions...

Perhaps my unit was sabotaged?

PS: yes that's my car

Yes... Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations with the labor union. During deadlocks, certain disgruntled workers tend to become lax in their quality of work.

This also happened to Toyota Motors, when their workers went on strike a few years back.

hmm...di ba CBU from Thailand na yong facelifted City? Bumpers at gulong na lang ata ang kinakabit dito. Correct me if i'm wrong. Or unless ckd or skd (?) pa ba yan pag dating sa pinas?

If the latter, then pede may kinalaman yong CBA. Otherwise, domain ng Thai QC yong chassis, windshield seal na pinagmulan ng leaks. Unless nga meski CBU e sinabotahe...unlikely naman siguro IMO. Di naman siguro ganon pasaway ang labor.

Old adage in HRM --- "take care of your people and your people will take care of your business". Still very true.
