The New 2025 GWM Cannon Is Showing Promise
There are a lot of cars from China here in the Philippines. Unbeknownst to many, one of its biggest stars is also here. I’m talking about the GWM Cannon pickup that has a commanding 50 percent market share of the pickup market in its home country. The iteration that initially arrived here has character, but certainly lacked refinement in many areas as I found out first-hand.

Brand-New Pickup Trucks Now Cost This Much Starting July
This is it. The excise tax exemption on pickup trucks is now gone thanks to the effectivity of the Capital Market Efficiency Promotions Act or CMEPA (as we first discovered last April). With that, expect to pay way more, especially for higher trim, lifestyle-oriented variants.

The Next-Generation Toyota Tamaraw Embodies The Filipino Spirit Of Adventure
“Adventurer” would not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of the Toyota Tamaraw. A more fitting description would be a utility transport vehicle or colloquially, “the FX.” Because for the longest time, the name of the Tamaraw has been known for being one of the most reliable, go-to vehicles when it came to functional transportation. Period.

The Mitsubishi Triton Is The Pick-Up Truck For Every Occasion
Pick-up trucks are expected to be one thing and one thing only – a highly-capable, function piece of automotive ingenuity that is designed to be a hauler and rough-rider. In the case of the Philippines, pick-ups are known to be the go-to for industries like construction and developers. On the flipside, pick-ups have also become the foundational base for overlanding and off-roading rigs, further fueling the passions of outdoor adventurers and a new generation of campers.

The BYD Shark 6 DMO Is All About New Possibilities
Pickup trucks in the Philippines have always been about utility. This is why they have diesel engines—for more torque for hauling things; why there’s lots of plastics in the interior—for easy maintenance; and why most are using stiff rear suspensions—for higher payload capacity. The Ford Ranger Raptor spiced things up a bit by being race-oriented but at its core, it just built upon a classic formula.

The 2025 GWM Cannon SLux 4x4 Is An Old-School Brute At Heart
There are many things going on in my life that I tend to forget easily. My trips abroad last year are mostly a blur right now, but I distinctly remember one because of a quote. I had the chance to visit the GWM Research and Development Center, and what caught my attention was a statement on the wall. “There are only two kinds of pickups in China. Great Wall and the others.”
