Ford Ph Brings ‘Ford Island Conquest’ to MIAS 2017, Announces Nationwide Dates

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ford Philippines leveraged the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) from March 30 to April 2 when it showcased both its best-selling vehicles in the country, as well as its unique test-drive and brand experience, the Ford Island Conquest.

The Ford booth at MIAS showcases top-selling variants of its Big Three vehicle nameplates - the Everest mid-size SUV, EcoSport compact SUV, and segment-defining Ranger pickup.

Ford also brought to MIAS the Ford Island Conquest, which it launched earlier this year with two successful events in Metro Manila.

The Ford Island Conquest is the ultimate test drive arena for car enthusiasts and interested buyers to experience the Everest, Ranger, and EcoSport. An outdoor course, featuring a water-wading drive-thru, is designed to highlight key features and capabilities of the Everest and Ranger.

The Ford Island Conquest also features a mock-up Ford showroom, providing a good opportunity for both owners and interested buyers to learn more about Ford’s sales and after-sales services and ownership packages.

DOE to ERC: Public Interest Comes First!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

SAGC met with the ERC Commissioners yesterday to address the concerns of the public and the electricity industry sector.

The Commissioners submitted to Sec. Cusi a report which the DOE is currently studying.

In the previous meetings with the Commissioners, SAGC asked the ERC Chairman to ensure that the ERC is working.

"I don't know how you'll do it but you have to do it," Sec Cusi asserted.

"The DOE respects the ERC as a strong and independent institution. However, public interest comes first," Cusi added.

In the succeeding meetings with the Commissioners, the DOE will push for a more definite set of outputs from the ERC aside from pushing to resolve the internal differences within the Commission.

"The delays incurred by the ERC must be addressed immediately. We cannot have internal squabbles within the Commission go in the way of the interest of the public," Cusi concluded.
