    Dami talagang nangyayaring negative sa automotive industry ngayon. General Motors mawawala sa Thailand pati sa Australia at NZ. Ngayon Honda naman sa Pinas

    Honestly, wala akong nakikitang sense na sa Pinas gawa yung City and BR-V...

    For a company's perspective, either Thailand or Malaysia, since connected sila sa mainland South East Asia and Malay Peninsula.

    Made in Indonesia, malaki naman talaga market nila.

    Parang Ford/Mazda lang yan dati... Mas madaming cars na nilalabas, kesa sa cars sold locally.

    Different case. GM will do a complete pull out from its remaining right-hand drive markets. Honda will stop local production/ assembly but will stay in the Philippines, the only difference is all models will be imported CBU.

    I mean, kaya nga lumabas mas mahal srp niyan kasi dito gawa.
    Diba yun nga rason bakit pullout na ford and isuzu sa local production, dahil mas mura pa iparating galing sa mga kapitbahay natin.

    So panu naging makapal mukha sa pricing yun kung reality yun sa local production dati pa?

    Covered naman kasi iyan ng international QA ng Honda, so there should be minimal differences between assembly sites....

    And they would normally go for the most cost effective option...

    Maybe one factor also from what I read is that yung union group ng mga workers ay from KMU, if pinasok yung company ng KMU for sure sasara yan.

    Could be one of the factors (is this confirmed?).

    Their plant is in Laguna,- malakas pa rin ang mga unions diyan.....

    Marami ng nagsara dahil sa UNION

    Alam ko ito dahil marami kaming clients naglipatan na sa ibang bansa dahil sa mga welga welga na yan

    Tas dagdag pa ang mataas na Op Exp

    Kaya minsan nag iisip na kaming mag iba ng linya eh, dahil nawawala na mga planta dito

    di talaga pang car manufacturing ang Pinas pero gusto parin ipilit

    ung mga pinoy-made car advocates na ka-debate ko 10 years ago nasaan na ang pinoy-made car niyo?

    pati mga Hapon give up na rin

    -

    di talaga forte ng Pinas ang manufacturing

    pang import lang talaga

    tapos ang pang earn natin ng $$$ OFW and BPO

    yan na talaga ang pinas

    di manufacturing

    Kung gawin ng govt na bawal union pag sa mga industrial park based yun plant then long term incentives bigay sa company.
