#GCashTipidTips: DOTr-mandated 50% discounted MRT-3 fares can be availed via GCash

Starting March 23, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has implemented a discounted fare matrix for single-journey tickets, stored-value cards, and cashless payments in response to rising consumer prices. 

#GCashTipidTips: DOTr-mandated 50% discounted MRT-3 fares can be availed via GCash



Passengers of Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) can easily avail of the discounted fare via the GCash app by using the GCashCommute QR, NFC-enabled Android phone, or GCash Visa card. Commuters can skip the ticketing booth lines and go directly to the platforms, making travel more convenient and seamless. 




The GCash payment schemes have been up and running at MRT-3 since July last year, providing commuters with cashless options for their daily travels.

The goal is simple: to make everyday transactions more affordable, accessible, and seamless for Filipinos.

LTFRB’s Komyu-Konek Hotline: Finally, a way to report abusive PUV drivers that actually works

You know the type. The jeepney driver who treats your stop like an optional suggestion. The conductor who overcharges and dares you to complain. The bus that turns EDSA into its personal parking lot while belching black smoke into your lungs. For years, we just swallowed it and vented on Facebook because reporting felt pointless. The LTFRB just changed that. They launched Komyu-Konek, a Viber hotline that lets you report abusive PUV drivers with photos and video straight from your phone. And the kicker? They’re actually built to act on it.  Your New Superpower Against Abusive Commutes Let’s be honest. When you’ve got your own car or motorcycle, PUV problems are background noise. You’ve got AC, your playlist, and zero strangers arguing with the conductor. You leave on your time. Then fuel prices exploded. Suddenly “background noise” became your 6AM ...

Check NAIA parking in real time: Slot counts update every 60 seconds

We’ve all tried checking parking “before leaving the house” only to arrive at NAIA 90 minutes later to a full lot. With Manila traffic, real-time means nothing if it’s not your real time. That’s why New NAIA’s live parking checker actually matters most when you’re 10 minutes out. It updates every 60 seconds, so your passenger can pull it up on the go and you’ll know if Terminal 3’s multi-level is a go or a no-go before you even take the ramp. The NAIA Parking Update You’ll Actually Use Let’s be real. Knowing a parking slot was open when you were still in Quezon City doesn’t help when you hit Terminal 1 after an hour of traffic. The game-changer with New NAIA’s parking dashboard isn’t checking from your couch. It’s checking when you’re already on NAIAX or passing Resorts World. Fresh data, right when you need it. This is part of the airport’s overhaul under New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation. No app needed. It’s live on the New NAIA we...

This Uniqlo x Toyota collab turns car icons into streetwear you’ll actually wear

Car tees just got a major upgrade. Uniqlo and Toyota are dropping graphic shirts that turn your love for legendary rides into everyday fits — and yeah, the Land Cruiser finally looks as cool on cotton as it does on trails. Your Closet Is About To Get Horsepower Let’s be real: most “car guy” shirts are either boxy, cringey, or stuck in 2006. Uniqlo just said not anymore.  They’ve teamed up with Toyota for a new UT collection that takes four of Japan’s most iconic cars and slaps them onto tees you’d wear even if you couldn’t tell a piston from a Pokémon. The secret sauce? Japanese collage artist Kosuke Kawamura. His style is loud, layered, and full of attitude — think shredded magazine meets museum wall. He took the Land Cruiser, Corolla, HiAce, and the mythical 2000GT and turned them into graphics with actual personality. What you’re getting: • Land Cruiser – For the off-road dreamers and overlanding Pinterest boards ...

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...
