Remember when President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. went to Japan last March and received confirmation from Toyota Motors of the Tamaraw nameplate’s return to the Philippines? Well, this could just be it. During AutoFun Philippines' visit to Indonesia, we saw the Toyota Rangga Concept displayed in various guises at the 2023 GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS.
