Find the perfect Bulalo at Mahogany Market Bulaluhan in Tagaytay City

UPDATED January, 2020 It’s always exciting to come across a good Bulalo dish that’s cheap as well. Tagaytay’s best and most affordable Bulalo can be found at Mahogany Market along Mahogany Avenue, Tagaytay City. Previously to have a taste of the Batangas Bulalo, we used to dine at RSM Restaurant.

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.

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...
