Volunteers help clean Marawi City By Froilan Gallardo MindaNews
MARAWI City--Hundreds of volunteers turned up on Wednesday to clean Barangay Matampay of debris, ISIS graffiti, and filth from the four months of fighting that devastated this city. Marawi Mayor Majul Usman Gandamra said they are doing this so when almost 200,000 residents who fled will eventually come home, they will find the city already clean. “We want to erase any traces of the fighting. We want the residents to come home to a city that is clean,”

Bulk water pipelines rehab eyed by mid and late October But a new crisis looms with terminated bulk water contract HERE’s your daily dose of good news and bad news. The company supplying bulk water to the Cagayan de Oro City Water District (COWD) expects to complete repairs on the damaged main transmission line by mid-October and completion of its new back-up main line by end
October. “We expect to complete repairs on our damaged 650mm main transmission line by mid-October and complete construction and commissioning of our new back-up 650mm transmission line by the end of the month,” said Engr.

Gong of peace unveiled, resonating gratitude, peace Friday, October 6, 2017
ILIGAN City--The Gong of Peace has been unveiled in Iligan city’s public plaza on October 1, symbolizing the gratitude and appreciation of the internally displaced people (IDPs) of Marawi to the people of Iligan for welcoming them and providing them their needs. Initiated by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), the symbolical ringing of the gong produced a resonating sound of gratitude and peace, in line with the culmination of the National Peace Consciousness Month in September. Radiating sound of
gratitude and generosity Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra expressed his utmost gratitude, as Iligan has become the sanctuary for the people of Marawi. “Prior to the siege, Iligan City is a place for our leisure, business or work… never did we think that it will become our second home,” said Gandamra. Handing over the sarimanok statuette, the city government of Iligan also vowed to continue its efforts to provide the needs of the displaced people of Marawi. The sarimanok is a legendary bird of the Maranao people who originate from
Mindanao, an island in the Philippines. It comes from the words “sari” (means cloth or garment, which is generally of assorted colors); and “manok” (chicken). “We are going to protect and defend you. Let us be one in protecting peace and order in Iligan and be one in helping one another to rebuild the hopes and city of Marawi,” said Iligan City Vice Mayor Jemar Vera Cruz. Symbolizing their solidarity for the IDPs, a framed prayer from the people of Cordillera was also handed over to the people of Marawi through mayor Gandamra.

Buzzing peace and hope With the aim to promote the peacebuilding efforts of the government and to spread awareness on the development of peace process, OPAPP’s Peace Buzz caravan started its journey from Baguio City to Iligan City where it reached its final destination. OPAPP Undersecretary Nabil Tan shared that the ultimate objective of the caravan is “to share message of peace, interact and have peace conversations, have engagement with youth… conduct different activities.” “It is important to reRepublic of the Philippines Office of the President HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COUNCIL HOUSING AND LAND USE REGULATORY BOARD

build the torn social fabric caused by Marawi crisis,” Tan noted. In his message to the victims of the siege, Tan said that “they should not fear terrorism because once they see widespread fear in our minds, terrorism is achieved; the terrorists achieved their purpose.” “Kailangan nating palakasin pa ang buzzing [of peace], para makarating sa lahat ng sulok. Kasi ang pagkakaisa bilang Pilipino ang siyang maging susi para maisulong talaga ang kapayapaan,” said OPAPP Undersecretary Diosita T. Andot.

17 Marawi hostages rescued MARAWI City--The Philippine military rescued at least 17 hostages, including five female teachers of Dansalan College, after an intense firefight in Marawi City dawn on Wednesday. The rescue came after soldiers made a night attack on a row of houses in Barangay Lumbac Marinaut. Col. Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of Joint Task Force Ranao, however, did not confirm the rescue. He told reporters “operations are still ongoing to rescue the hostages held by the remaining gunmen.” In Manila, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana confirmed to Rappler that troops were able to rescue nine males and eight females with ages ranging from 18 to 75. Lorenzana did not give any more details because military operations are still ongoing to rescue the remaining 23 hostages.
Lanao del Sur provincial crisis management spokesperson Zia Alonto Adiong also confirmed the successful rescue by elements of the Joint Task Force at 2 a.m. Wednesday. “The fighting distracted the ISIS-Maute gunmen allowing the hostages to break free,” Adiong said. Sources said the hostages scampered to the soldiers’ side after the ISIS-Maute gunmen guarding got distracted by the night attack. Euphoria swept the community of the protestant United Church of Christ of the Philippines in Cagayan de Oro City after they learned all six teachers of the Dansalan College were among those rescued. “You cannot imagine our happiness. Our prayers for their safety have been answered,” a member of the congregation said. See rescued, page 9

A Century of truck heritage Over the years, Ford trucks have been used by farmers, soldiers, construction workers, racing drivers, and even crocodile catchers. It is this versatility, capability and reliability that has propelled the company to so many decades
of sales leadership, as shared in this look back through history. But these achievements didn’t happen overnight. What follows is a tale of time, vision, innovation, and the constant quest to deliver trucks that meet
and exceed even the greatest expectations. It was the best of times The year was 1917, and nine years on from the release of the Model T, customer demand was for a vehicle that was tougher and more capable than anything
that had gone before. Up stepped the Model TT. Able to haul a payload of one ton, the TT helped change the way the world did work. Originally sold as a chassis only, with buyers supplying their own body, Ford went on to sell almost 1.3 million TTs until it was replaced in 1928 by the Model A and AA pickup, the latter one of the earliest members of the Ford dynasty of pickup trucks. A few years later, the Ford Motor Company of Australia received a letter from a farmer’s wife asking for a vehicle that she and her husband could take to church on Sundays, but which could also carry a load of pigs to market on Monday. And so came the Ford coupe-utility – the ute – in 1934, a vehicle synonymous with Australia, and representative of another key element of See truck, page 11

The CYNOSURE
Again, Moreno gets TROs vs 11 dismissals
As expected, supporters of beleaguered Cagayan De Oro City Mayor Oscar S. Moreno would immediately troop to the City Hall every time reports of alleged suspension or dismissal order were about to be served to the city mayor. The supporters would swarm in front of the City Hall in the guise of a “prayer rally” to purportedly ask “divine intervention” to prevent the dismissal or suspension of Moreno. But, this trickery is no longer credible. It is of note that the use of the “prayer rally” and the “church” as a means of shielding oneself, particularly by a politician from possible arrest or dismissal has become rampant and incredible. This chicanery has been an old trick that most supporters who normally come along with alleged followers to hold the “prayer rally” are those who

country’s judicial system that is easily drawn by its ugly heads. And, one talks about the ugly head as a figurative term for corruption and venality. On Thursday night, Moreno’s supporters led by barangay captains and local legislators who could have benefited from Moreno’s administration rushed to City Hall to organize the “prayer rally.” Actually, they went there to prevent the DILG from serving the reported 11 dismissal orders against the City Mayor. Isn’t it a clear indication that these mobs are ready to circumvent the law? Not really. Perhaps, unknown to many, while the story about the 11 dismissal orders just floated Thursday, Moreno already knew before the story spread. The CYNOSURE was informed two days ago about the 90-day suspension (not dismissal)

of Moreno by the Sandiganbayan involving a criminal case. It turns out that the 11 dismissal orders were in connection with Moreno’s anti-graft cases involving the alleged “illegal” lease of equipment while he was the provincial governor in Misamis Oriental. The amount involves P 20.5 million. However, before the dismissal order was served, the CA’s restraining order was served ahead. Unlike before, this time the DILG and the CA have perfectly synchronized their moves. It is expected that the DILG would serve the dismissal order if only to comply with the mandate of the Ombudsman. With the restraining order, the See dismissals, page 9

benefited most. What divine intervention are we talking about here? There is no such thing as divine intercession. On the contrary, in the case of Moreno, the divine intervention would mean the release of the restraining order by the Court of Appeals. Aside from the intervention of the CA, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) also plays a critical role. There are suspicions that the DILG personnel, actually, gives the go signal to the CA to deliver the TRO just minutes before the dismissal or suspension order is served against Moreno. Laughs! In fact, the issue of dismissal and suspension order against Moreno has already become a manifestation of callousness and brazen travesty of justice.

But then, the incumbents must also realize that under Republic Act 10952, the law that postponed the polls, lawmakers put in some sort of a collatilla which provides that current barangay and SK officials can remain in their posts except when they

Cebu Pacific invests in DPLs for Persons with Reduced Mobility The Philippines’ leading carrier, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), is set to rollout Disabled Passenger Lifts (DPLs) in key airports nationwide. The DPLs would allow Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) an easier and more comfortable boarding experience on Cebu Pacific flights. CEB is the first airline to invest in its own DPLs, in line with its thrust to improve passenger experience. Although CEB has invested over PHP100 Million for the procurement and installation of 35 brand-new DPLs, they are available free of charge for Cebu Pacific passengers with reduced mobility. Aside from PWDs, these include pregnant and elderly passengers who may have difficulty climbing stairs to board their flights. The first DPL was installed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in March 2017 for testing and evaluation. Since July 2017, the DPL has

The DPL allows PRMs, as well as their companions or service agents to board the aircraft or deplane via the aircraft door designated by the airlines. To date, at least 500 DPLs are being used worldwide. For PWDs and other PRMs who need wheelchair assistance, they simply need to

Michael Ivan Shau, Vice President for Airport Services of Cebu Pacific, said the rest of the DPL units would be deployed starting 2018. Six more units would be placed at the NAIA Terminal 3, with the rest to other CEB hubs across the country: Clark, Kalibo, Iloilo, Cebu and Davao; as well as hightraffic airports across
the country where CEB operates flight using Airbus aircraft. Target completion is by June 2018. “We are looking at initiatives to improve the passenger experience for every Juan. For our PWD passengers and those with reduced mobility, we recognize that the experience of being lifted manually can be uncomfortable. Investing in the DPLs will allow us to board and deplane passengers with reduced
mobility safely, with minimal discomfort,” said Shau. In 2016 alone, over 43,000 passengers availed of wheelchair assistance from the check-in counter. Of this number, more than 14,000 were wheeled from the check-in counter and carried to their seats in the aircraft. The DPL was introduced in 1998 by international aircraft service provider Airport Maintenance

Cebu Pacific has also implemented recently the 20% discount on base fares and 12% value-added tax (VAT) exemption for all domestic flights for PWDs and senior citizens across all its booking channels.

Come to God always for you to be happy The Gospel of Jesus Christ (October 6, 2017-Friday) Luke 19:4548-And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to de-
stroy him, and could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.Is it your habit to respect to anything and to anyone? Do you value respect in your life? God respects you all the times. God wants you also to do the same. Being respectful is a manifestation of being careful to the emotion of others. Take note, every disrespect that you have done;
there is someone who is touched and hurt if not human, I know our God the creator of everything. This gospel emphasizes about the physical temple and its structure which was “desecrated” by the Jewish people. Jesus opposed to them since it was an act of blasphemy and irreverence to the holy place. On the other hand, Jesus taught them about the real temple which is his body. Look,
what they had done to the earthly sanctuary, it was a “real” reflection to what they did to Him, the genuine temple. This was the ground of Jesus why He condemned the blasphemers and casted out from the temple. How about us, how many times we desecrated the temple of God? Everything we intake in our bodies can either produce double results, bad or good. You need to take only what is

Biblical reflection helpful because you are accountable to the damage of your physical body. Sometimes we blame God but actually, it is our faults to be sick.Proverbs 19:3”The foolishness of man ruins his way, and his heart rages against the LORD.

PLANETS AND OTHER BODIES IN THE SKY, AS PREDI C T E D I N T H E B I B L E , NOW HAPPENING: I wish to clarify something about what I wrote here earlier relative to the “gravitational waves” that scientists detected on August 14, 2017---“gravitational waves” being magnetic forces that run through the cosmos and disprupt time and space, coming from two black holes (or dead stars) colliding at a great impact. It was only in Febrtuary 2016 that scientists acquired the ability to detect or “see” these “gravitational waves” which equal the force of 10 or so stars or suns the size of our sun colliding, through newly-invented telescopes. According to the article written by Dr. Don Lee for cnn.com, these new telescopes detected or “saw” the “gravitational waves” that reached the earth on August 14. Dr. Lincoln stressed that the “gravitational waves” on August 14 were detected by the new telescopes as coming from the explosion of 30 or so stars or suns. Wow. The question is, what would happen if the explosion would come from the collision of 100 or more starts or suns? I am sure that what was predicted to happen in Matthew 24:29 of the Bible would happen. That is, planets and other bodies in the sky would be shaken, during the end of time. -oooWAT C H “A N G TA N G I N G DAAN” AT FACEBOOK: “Ang Tanging Daan” is a Bible exposition and prayer session for everyone, in English and Filipino, 24/7, worldwide, that can be viewed at www.facebook.com/ angtangingdaan.

Then ask Him to take full charge of your life every day, for the rest of your life. No matter how old you are or how many times you’ve failed, with Jesus in charge of your character and life, it’s never too late to change! Just Think a Minute.

Executive Director of Task Force Bangon Marawi, Undersecretary Cesar Yano said that the non-existence of unity among people is the root cause of the crisis in Marawi. “Hindi lang layunin ng ating pamahalaan na magpatayo ng imprastrakrura kundi maglaan rin ng social economic development, livelihood, education at maayos na pamumuhay at kondisyon [of IDPs],” said Yano. [The government does not only aim to build infrastructures but also to allocate funds for the social economic development, livelihood, education and good quality of life and condition of the IDPs.] “Marawi shall rise up from its ashes.

Atega said the Department has intensified its effort to raise by 30 percent of average household income of abaca farmers in the last six years. IFAD Project Managing Consultant Gomer Tumbali said the project is in line with the government’s sustainable development goal of increasing agricultural productivity and promoting farmers’ welfare and development. “The project is expected to reduce poverty incidence in TUJAKITSAN ARC by engaging the farmer groups in value chain-based agricultural processes for abaca production in the area,” Tumbali said. its solution.

24 earthquakes badly damaged its main transmission line supplying bulk water to COWD. However, it was only after river debris driven by floods brought by torrential rains pounded the pipeline’s concrete casing following the latter temblor did Rio Verde discovered it was losing up to 50% o its daily delivery of 40,000 cubic meters (cu.m.) of treated bulk water to COWD did they shut down the transmission line to isolate the leaks and move for repairs. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said a strong 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck 22 kilometers southeast of Malapatan town, Sarangani at 8:30 a.m., August 5, 2017, and was followed by a series of temblors at 4:47 a.m. on September 24 jolting Magpet, Cotabato (magnitude 4.4); Kadingilan, Bukidnon (magnitude 5.7); Kalilangan, Bukidnon (magnitude 5.3), Wao, Lanao del Sur (magnitude 5.4), and Osias, Kabacan, Cotabato (magnitude 4.4) with aftershocks. Meantime, Rio Verde resumed deliveries to COWD from October 1st through its back-up 400mm HDPE pipeline albeit on a reduced basis. Hapitan committed to ramping up the flow rate to 40,000 cu.m. by Friday (October 6) with the pressure requested by COWD through the same pipeline pending completion of repairs on the main 650mm transmission line by mid-October. In addition to its two existing pipelines, Hapitan disclosed that Rio Verde is constructing another 650mm redundant main transmission line to ensure bulk water deliveries to COWD would not suffer a similar interruption in the future. He said the P50-million project would also further reinforce the concrete casings of both submarine pipelines to also ensure both can withstand up to magnitude 8.0 earthquakes and river debris from the Cagayan River driven by flash floods caused by torrential rains. Despite these developments, another crisis appears imminent as the 40,000 cu.m. of bulk water contracted by COWD from Rio Verde is no longer adequate to service consumers in COWD’s West Service area which officials say already has a daily demand

Friday, October 6, 2017 of 60,000-80,000 cu.m. daily. Thus, even if Rio Verde already delivered the 40,000 cu.m. daily as stipulated in its present Bulk Water Supply Agreement with COWD, this would only address 63% of the West Service Area’s present requirements, since the 95% as committed by Hapitan was the demand level 10 years ago (2007) when Rio Verde started delivering bulk water to COWD. To address the water shortage in the interim, COWD has employed palliative measures to mitigate effects of the water supply curtailment like valve adjustments and facilitating water delivery to affected areas utilizing water tankers from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), FilipinoChinese Volunteer fire brigades to augment COWD and Rio Verde tankers to deliver water directly to consumers since last week. Although Rio Verde previously served COWD’s purchase orders for an additional 20,000 cu.m. for the past 3 months, Hapitan disclosed during the public consultation that both COWD and Rio Verde have already agreed to pre-terminate the existing bulk water supply contract. In a series of letters dated January 4, 2017; April 5, 2017 and August 8, 2017, both COWD and Rio Verde agreed to pre-terminate their Bulk Water Supply Agreement and enter into a “Compromise Agreement” whereby Rio Verde would continue to supply bulk water to COWD under prevailing prices and new negotiated terms. COWD General Manager Rachel Beja disclosed during the latest public consultation that COWD is entering into a joint venture agreement with Metropac Water Investments Corp, (MWIC) which would supply up to 100,000 cu.m. of treated bulk water daily to COWD to address the increased demand. The new JV firm is exploring three options by which the requirement could be addressed: purchasing bulk water from Rio Verde; outright purchase of the Rio Verde treatment plant or constructing a new treatment plant, which in the case of Rio Verde took 3 years to complete. This development indicates that the first option could be the quickest fix to the present crisis given the long-term nature of the other options (outright purchase and construction of a new plant). However, even that would be imperative upon the soonest signing of the Compromise Agreement by the two parties which remains pending until now. The water supply situation in other COWD Service Areas have been further aggravated by ongoing repair works and upgrading being implemented by the water district under its Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction program and regular maintenance and repair works.
clear it. “I do not know if my refrigerator, sala set and the clothes of children are still there,” Sone said as she looked into her house from the roadside. Another school teacher, Cairon Bula, led her fellow teachers in cleaning up the entrance of their school Hadji Saripa Elementary School. They too cannot enter their school because the military forbids them for fear there are still IEDs left behind by the ISIS-Maute gunmen. Brawner said the soldiers have cleared Barangay Matampay of ISIS-Maute gunmen in June but have yet to clear the school and houses of hidden explosives. (Froilan Gallardo / MindaNews)

Gandamra said. He said the Brigada Marawi they initiated will also clean six other barangays in the western portion of the city that is already considered cleared by the military and police. The volunteers swarmed in the streets of Barangay Matampay clearing the streets of old tires, blocks of wood and other debris. Army officers warned them not to touch boxes and not to enter houses and buildings. A day before, Col. Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of Task Force Ranao, said a total of nine improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and 18 blasting caps were found in one of the houses in Barangay Matampay. “It was ready to go. We had to destroy it immediately,” Brawner said. School teacher Casema Sone was elated that she finally was able to see her house in Barangay Matampay after more than four months. Her happiness was however cut short when military soldiers told her she cannot go inside or approach her two-storey wooden house because they have yet to

pay income taxes. Currently, he or she is taxed at a high of 20%. Senator Sonny Angara, since his days in the House of Representatives, has been filing a bill upgrading the salary grade of public school teachers from Salary Grade 11 to 19. Angara explained that with the reduction of income tax rates, 99% of the 7.5 million individual income taxpayers will be able to take home bigger pay. “Hindi lamang po ang ating mga public school teacher ang lalaki ang maiuuwing kita, pati na rin ang mga nasa private schools. All our workers who receive compensation income and even our self-employed and professionals will benefit,” the chairman of the ways and means committee said. For instance, an assistant professor at a private college who receives a monthly salary of approximately P31,530 will be able to save at least P30,916 every year due to lower income tax rates. “Halos katumbas na ng isang buwan niyang sahod ang matitipid niya kada taon dahil mas mababa na ang kanyang babayarang buwis. Ang isang propesor sa pribadong kolehiyo ay para na ring nakakuha ng 14th month pay gaya ng mga natatanggap ng public school teachers ngayon,” Angara said. “We have long been pushing for higher pay for our teachers. Their salaries do not commensurate to their great contribution to our society. As we celebrate our teachers’ role in nation building, it is high time that we pay them back and give them due tax relief as they mold our children’s future,” the senator added. Today, October 5, is World Teachers’ Day and the culmination of the celebration of the National Teachers’ Month.

Dr. Susan Razo, chief of Integrated Laboratory Division (ILD), lauded the eagerness of the participants to know more about pest control and thank them for the trust and confidence given to DA. “The four-day seminar will allow you to recognize the helpful and harmful pests as far as agri is concern. We hope that this will raise awareness especially to the students whom you will impart your knowledge with,” Razo said. Marilou Infante, chief of RCPC, said her office is willing to accomodate their students if an educational trip is necessary on their studies. “We will provide necessary info as long as it can help the curriculum of the TVL,” Infante assured. Dr. Marcelo Roco, education
program supervisor and TVL training team leader, said she personally wrote a letter to DA requesting the agency for training about crop pest management. “Unfortunately, pest management qualification is not available TESDA training and assessment in the region until we have learned that DA-XI has the capabilities and experts to train such skills fo our teachers,” Roco added. Topics such as Biological Control Agents and its Utilization and Insect Pests and Diseases of Selected Crops will be tackled on the four- day seminar. PNA

She will also ask the committee to accommodate the members of the CPP-NPA who will surrender their firearms to the government. Duterte-Carpio said she received around eight surrender fillers but she just told these people to address it to the committee. She also said that the members of the CPP-NPA need not to surrender their firearms because her plan is to make them work with the government. “We are very flexible for that just to attain the elusive dream of peace,” she said.

this opportunity from the Ayala Malls.

the company’s heritage; listening and responding to the needs of the people. “With vehicles such as the early utes and pickups, Ford began changing the perception of trucks,” says Robert Kreipke, Ford’s Corporate Historian. “Whereas at one time trucks were considered purely work tools, Ford began to evolve them into a much more balanced vehicle for both work
and recreational use.” “These trucks provided inspiration for the later development of vehicles such as the F-Series and Ranger, which have been hugely successful across diverse markets all over the world,” said Kreipke. Around the world in 40 years In the aftermath of World War II, Ford refocused its attention on North American truck design, and 1948 saw the introduction of the company’s first purpose-built truck platform, and with it the opportunity to greatly increase the capability of Ford vehicles. The first of this versatile new style of trucks was available in eight sizes, from the half-ton capacity F-1 to the three-ton capacity F-8; the birth of the famous F-Series, which has been the best-selling pickup in the United States every year since 1977, and the country’s best-selling vehicle outright for 35 consecutive years. With each successive generation, Ford has continued to create and add features based on customer needs, with continuous innovation always key to its success. The Tough that Ford Built In 1976, a copywriter for a Ford truck magazine advertisement wrote three simple words: Built Ford Tough, the phrase that would come to epitomize Ford’s commitment to creating strong, capable, safe and powerful trucks. It now defines what customers across the world have come to expect from the blue oval brand. One of the first mass-produced Built Ford Tough vehicles was the Ford Ranger, the company’s first compact pickup truck introduced in North America in 1982. Originally designed and built in the U.S., Ranger’s reputation as a tough, smart and capable vehicle quickly caught on, leading it to thrive in a number of diverse markets around the world. It is now the most bought midsize pickup in Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, and a number of ASEAN markets such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Over the years, Ford has continued to innovate and explore the performance and specialty truck segments, and the introduction of the Raptor name with the F-150 SVT Raptor in 2009 took this to even greater heights. Inspired by desert racing trucks, Raptor has always been the ultimate high-performance off-roader, and its advances in areas such as engine efficiency, suspension, smart technology and raw power embody not just the Build Ford Tough spirit, but also the way Ford has influenced, revolutionized and reshaped how the world looks at trucks. This includes the latest announcement to introduce its bestselling Built Ford Tough truck franchise to China with the launch of the F-150 Raptor in early 2017. Ford also confirmed that the popular Ford Ranger mid-size pick-up will be launched in the world’s largest auto market starting in 2018. So while the styling, power and capability of Ford trucks have all changed since the first Model TT rolled off the assembly line a hundred years ago, the company’s core mission to provide vehicles that address and surpass customer demands has remained the same, surviving even the greatest test of all: time.

its road safety campaign. Besides distributing free road safety manuals, the group encouraged riders to put the free stickers on their motorcycles or helmets to serve as a constant reminder to always wear the proper riding gear. Motorsiklo Xklusibo host Edwin Go said that the event was made for everyone! The success of the event was a joint effort of all. “Mabuhay ang mga sponsors, manufacturers, dealers, marshals, traffic enforcers, police personnel who patrol the perimeters for peace and safety, and of course the riding community. Dito, naipakita natin na walang kulay, walang club, walang personalidad, iisa ang layunin, iisa ang gusto --- kaligayahan, katatawanan, kainan, bilihan, biruan at maraming magandang gawain,” he added.
