Finding ease in Manila's daily traffic with Green GSM

In Metro Manila, movement is constant, but certainty is rare. Traffic congestion, fluctuating fuel prices, and long working hours shape the daily routines of drivers and passengers alike.

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.

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...
