The all-new 2024 Toyota Wigo made a huge splash when it was launched in the Philippines on July 14, 2023. Aside from the new chassis, transmission, and styling, the pricing really grabbed people’s attention. Starting at ₱609,000, the all-new Toyota Wigo undercuts its major rivals, such as the recently refreshed Honda Brio and the rather dated Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. But the base-model 2024 Toyota Wigo J also takes on one of the biggest names in small cars – Suzuki. And at this price, its ri

In just a few months, the skies will open and the rain will pour. But what’s not cold and wet are the five hottest stories from February 20 to March 3, 2023.
