why Nissan Patrol for back up securities?

[shadow]

PSG uses this and other back up vehicles of VIP, be it the old safari or the new patrol...? and even in war zone place lIraq, afghanistan the UN representative uses Nissan Patrol? why not Land cruiser?

Mas mahal kasi siguro ang Land Cruiser Pero matibay din ang Land Cruiser dare I say mas matibay pa kaysa sa Patrol (ownership bias )

[coiter]

because of the name? kasi nagpapa-"patrol" sya para sa VIP? hehe. well, kung ano man, i think it's a testament to it's ruggedness and durability. just like the black suburbans you usually see in american movies na ginagamit ng fbi, cia, etc.

Pero the terrorists use old Toyota Hi-Lux pick-ups para siguro pangontra sa Nissan Patrol. . .

They need the antagonistic / battle ready impression of the Patrol and yet much cheaper than that of LC. In fact when GMA and FG convoy visit here in St. Luke’s sari saring US SUV na mahahaba ang dala nila… no more PATROL and LC’s.

Sa US mostly GMC Yukons Denali ang gamit ng secret service.

Naghihirap na ang bayan and they still use these gas guzzlers

It is the Philippine equivalent of the Chevy Suburbans in the U.S.

remember the jazz incident, taob yong patrol!

kaya seguro, dumped na ang patrol + LC...

They are sturdy and proven. I still see the PSG Patrols running around. Erap for time made use of FM Pajeros. The Cory administration made use of the LC60s also...

I remember seeing a diplomatic GU Patrol (bare bones model, white) and it was still using the TD42 engine. IMO, the PSG should have gotten models like that since they already have the TD42 on the older units as well (tried and tested buggers).

hehehehe. they should use avanzas or mitsu adventures instead.
seriously, they use patrols before, but i think the current PSG units now are Suburbans and Expeds.
