Honda goes from “Joy of Driving” to “Joy of Buying” with their latest promotion. During today’s economic challenges, the Japanese carmaker is introducing a Step Up Pay Plan for select models until July 31, 2026.
In cooperation with Bank of the Philippines Islands, the Step Up Pay Plan offers a flexible payment scheme where monthly amortizations start low and grow along during the latter years.
To further ease the transition into vehicle ownership, the program also offers a comprehensive all-in package financing scheme for 15 and 20 percent down payment options on 60-month terms. And to significantly cut down upfront costs for buyers, BPI will also cover the Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) Service Fees and Insurance for up to P 50,000 each.

So it's like a mild, spread out balloon loan, in a sense. Still, better than the balloon loan. I wish banks in PH would offer "pay what you can" car loans. There will be a minimum, but no cap to the maximum, and gives you the capability to pay more of the principal (if you pay beyond the monthly minimum).
