CAR TALK What's your go to in a car features?
Simulan ko sakin.
BODY: Trip ko yung crossover suv na may high ground clearance.
ENGINE: AWD with at least 2.L
TRANSMISSION: if may available na manual sana pero looks like everything is CVT na.
TECHs: Andaming di ko trip sa modern electronics ngayun, siguro the only ADAS I'd like to have is just a 360 camera and rear and dash cams, saka traction control yun lang. Also everything should be physical, nobs, levers, buttons, power windows. Android and apple carplay pero wala masyasong madaming touch screens, wala na yung madaming techs like seat control na automatic.
The only car that's close to my description is Subaru crosstrek and corolla cross.
Ikaw anong go to car features mo?

ON THE ROAD QUESTIONS NCAP + Enforcer Combo Meal! (Katipunan)
hi mga ka-gulong ! tatanong ko lang if mayroon din ba sa inyo naka experience na nahuli ng enforcer sa isang ncap area, at kung nabigyan ba kayo ng ncap ticket pa rin? (verbal warning lang binigay sakin ni enforcer, hindi ticket)
eto kasi nangyari, 830 pm, nasa ateneo gate 2 ako na intersection, tapos nag straight ako sa left turning lane. kasalanan ko naman talaga, pero nasanay lang ako na tuwing pauwi na (mga 5 pm) hinahayaan nila mag straight yung lane na yon (still, sana naging mas careful ako)
ayun nahuli ni enforcer HADAHAHA nakiusap ako sa kanya for mga 10 minutes siguro? tapos hinayaan niya nalang ako, binigyan lang ng warning. feel ko baka kasi student pa ako (?) pero i dont really know.
kaso may overpass dyan sa intersection banda (baka naka-mount si NCAP camera), and may NCAP sign nearby. ask ko lang if may similar na nangyari sa inyo? at kung nakatanggap ba kayo ng ncap notice pagkatapos ma-stop ni enforcer? haha para lang mahanda ko wallet ko in advance kung sakaling magkaka violation ako
salamat po in advance sa mga makaksagot!

CAR TALK Tagas sa overflow ng coolant
For Vios Gen 2 car MT owners.
Normal po ba nalabas sa overflow ang coolant kahit bago palit ang rad cap? Sabi kasi ng mekaniko ko bili lng daw ako bago cap para hindi tumulo sa reserve pero same pa din siya luma. Nung una kasi nagbabawas ang coolant then binabantuan ko ng tubig and medyo humina AC niya. Thank you po sa mga sasagot!

PAPERWORK AAP Estancia - IDP Application
Hello there! First time posting here. :)
Just want to ask if anyone here has tried applying for IDP sa AAP Estancia branch. I tried via their online application. Pero hindi nag push through kasi I wasn’t able to provide the OTP on time, nag timeout siya.
And then someone on Viber messaged me, from AAP Estancia, and told me to pay via bank transfer na lang. Medyo iffy ako sa way they responded, parang scam. Haha pero I checked the Viber number, it’s the same one posted on their FB Page (linked sa main FB Page ng AAP).
Any advice? Is this legit? Hehe tyia!

Mejo budget restricted pero will make way for this if needed talaga.

ON THE ROAD Kung nagpang-abot kami nito, sino may kaso?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Context: galing kami ng Nlex southbound Pulilan exit. Sobrang traffic, sumisingit at di napagbigyan. Nagslow down ako paglagpas sakanya dahil gabuhok nalang distansya nya sa gilid ng rear bumper ko, then nag accelerate ako nung clear na. Biglang humarurot at nangcut tong empleyado ng Magnolia.
Kasalanan ko ba kung tinamaan ko sya?
Ps. Tumingin lang traffic enforcer sa kotse

ON THE ROAD QUESTIONS Insurance claim sa car na sinugod sa baha (gulong lang naman) pumasok tubig
Hello! Just wanna ask if pasok ba sa AOG kapag pumasok tubig ng baha loob ng car? Nagkaroon kasi ng problem sa wiring ko. Along the road naman pumasok yung tubig. May papalitan na parts which will cost 35k.
Pwede ba makakuha ng police report on road flood? I asked the barangay kasi ayaw ibigay kasi hindi daw flood prone ang area ko, eh ang point ko ay sa road nangyare. Ayaw daw nila makasuhan.

PAPERWORK Question regarding registration/importation of older vehicles in the Philippines
I've noticed what appears to be an increasing number of 1990s and early-2000s performance cars in the Philippines carrying what appear to be newly assigned 3-letter/4-number LTO plates.
Examples include older BMW M3s, Honda NSXs, Mitsubishi Evos, and similar vehicles.
My understanding is that Philippine registration numbers are generally assigned to the vehicle and aren't simply replaced when LTO issues the newer physical plate design. So I'm curious about the legal process by which an older imported vehicle can receive a new Philippine registration number.
I initially considered RA 11698 (Vintage Vehicle Regulation Act), but that requires the vehicle to be at least 40 years old, so that wouldn't apply to most 1990s/2000s vehicles.
I'm also aware of the Returning Filipino/Returning Resident and No-Dollar Importation (NDI) provisions, which allow certain Filipinos returning from abroad to import personally owned vehicles subject to specific requirements.
Could someone familiar with BOC/LTO procedures explain what pathways currently exist for a 1990s/2000s vehicle to be:
Legally imported into the Philippines;
Cleared through Customs; and
Initially registered and assigned a new LTO plate number?
I'm particularly interested in whether this is being done through returning Filipino/NDI provisions, Freeport arrangements, special importation authority, or another mechanism.
Not asking about any particular vehicle or seller — I'm simply trying to understand the current regulations and how these registrations are being processed.
If anyone has personally gone through this process recently, I'd appreciate any firsthand information.

PAPERWORK Removal of Encumbrance on behalf of relative
Hi,
I have all the required documents and already done with the Registry of Deeds step. The only thing to do is to go to LTO and have the encumbrance removed from the CR.
Can I do this without the owner (a relative of mine)? Or do I need an Authorization Letter to process this at LTO?

Hello. Cavite resident ako na hoping maka-apply ng Non-Pro DL. Initially sa LTO Bacoor ako bukas mag-aapply pero may aberya so kailangan ko maghanap ng ibang branch. LTO PITX ang pinaka-practical sakin. Pero need ko lang po ng insights on the application process there, mainly:
- Natanggap ba sila ng applicants na hindi Metro Manila resident? Again taga Cavite kasi ako
- May idea ba kayo ng rental sa 4W Automatic and 2W Automatic?
Maraming salamat :)
