Cebu Pacific, NBI warn public against unauthorized sellers of flights

Cebu Pacific is now working with the National Bureau of Investigation ( NBI ) to identify unauthorized sellers of its flights who are using fraudulent or stolen credit cards.   Aside from the NBI, Cebu Pacific is also coordinating with other authorities such as the Department of Trade and Industry ( DTI ) and Civil Aeronautics Board ( CAB ) to warn the public against booking flights through unauthorized channels.   Cebu Pacific has cancelled bookings that were purchased using fraudulent or stolen credit cards as confirmed by their partner banks.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
