Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) may not have four hummingbirds, three French hens, and two turtle doves, but it has enough deals to fill your 12 days of Christmas with cars. In a December 2022 press statement, the carmaker announced that it is offering three promos for 12 Toyota models until Dec. 31, 2022.
