Disclosure: GWM Philippines kindly lent me a 2023 Haval Jolion Supreme HEV for eight days. It arrived with loaded RFID cards and a Shell fuel card. AutoFun Philippines paid for a carwash. When I was a kid, I swore by one specific brand of orange juice (which I shall not name, but it’s a brand that’s beloved by many). I simply could not have a meal without this overly sugary beverage that greatly contributed to my, shall we say, “portly” physique in grade school. And it had so many artificial ing

“In this business, you gotta have a tough skin.” This is what Visor.Ph Editor-in-Chief Vernon Sarne told me at last week's BMW M2 launch event. Chief, as I fondly call him to this day (he got me to join Top Gear Philippines magazine as a cover photographer and writer back in 2010), has seen it all and has been through wars ordinary people would have waived the white flag early on.

There are things that we cannot control, and we are all aware of that. We cannot control the weather. We cannot just say 'stop' when the flood starts to rise during the rainy season. We cannot control other people's feelings, nor can we stop children from growing up. Oh well, to get rid of the drama, there are things that we can control. Like choosing and deciding where we want to spend our hard-earned money. We've worked for that and deserve to spend it according to our needs and wants. 2022 To

Two years since the world was placed on lockdown, Filipinos are itching to go to one of their favorite tourist destination in Asia – Japan! For people like me who has been to the land of the rising sun many times already, there is still this sheer wonder and excitement as though going there the first time. Everything seemed to be orderly, and technology seems to have been fully integrated in day-to-day life. The shinkansen or bullet train, the uber hi-tech toilets you want to bring home if you c
