what's the deal with 168?

tanong ko lang

what's the deal with plate numbers with 168? if you check the rules on vanity plates, the number 168 is specifically mentioned

of course, the other numbers are those in triple digit (e.x. 111) or with zero in between two similar digits (e.x. 101)

but 168?

my plate ending is 168 (inherited) but i would love to trade this in for another plate ending with any number from 3 to 6

AFAIK - parang Chinese characters yan or something.

[mrpink]

yep .. ultimate luck numbers for chinese ..

[BlueBimmer]

1 - 1 in chinese
6 - road
8 - prosper

actually it is based on the pronounciation of the 3 characters kaya naging 168

mazdamazda is right, 168 is a chinese number combination meaning good luck.

korek...mahal yang plate number na yan...
1-6-8 pa taas di ba.... to prosper....

[111prez]

ganun ba?

i am 1/4 chinese but it doesnt ring any bells or whistles for me. hindi na kami tinuruan ng chinese or even chinese tradition ng pure chinese na lola namin from my dad's side. i still have a lot of chinese family named relatives though, hehehe

anyway, i would be very glad to trade this plate number with any tsikoteer here kung puede lang

actually, wala akong nakitang regulation sa LTO website authorizing this

but the sad reality in the philippines is that kapag ma kakilala ka, puede yan. siguro all it takes is to bring both cars to this LTO kakilala, show them the legit registrations and then while were sipping a hot cup of coffee, tratrabahuin yung change of registration and then when the papers are all out, palit nalang ng plates, hehehehe

i am sure that even this "strict" LTO head has bent the rules for a few friends or padrinos. i have no proof of this though so take it with a grain of salt

in cantonese, those numbers (168) sounds like the words BlueBimmer posted.
to prosper all the way ang literal meaning nyan.

[falken]

Tama sabi ni boybi, when read aloud in cantonese, it means prosperity all the way.

[alwayz_yummy]

how does you say it in cantonese?

na-curious din ako dun a!
