No, something a lot cheaper... think whereabouts of 25-30k.
If you're OK with refurb then you could scout along Evangelista Quiapo. There are Robin,Yanmar and Kubota Diesels surely they have parts.

If you're OK with China copycats there is this Briggs & Stratton called Promax, try calling this shop - Trioidad Trading, #1643-A Soler St., Sta Cruz, Manila TL# 5310-0401 look for Boyet 09564926715. Everything else China i guess is disposable, goodluck finding spare parts.

Honestly IMO if requirement is just for emergency backup then i'd get the cheapest brand new, you just have to maintain the jets of the carb make sure it doesn't clog when not in use.
