Suzuki Philippines has stepped in to help communities hit hard by recent floods caused by Typhoons Dante and Emong, especially in low-lying areas of Laguna. Many neighborhoods near the company’s head office in Calamba were left underwater and cut off from essential supplies.

Through its Marine Department, Suzuki worked with local governments and rescue teams to deliver help where it was needed most. The company deployed an inflatable boat with a 6HP Suzuki outboard motor to Biñan and a poly boat with a 15HP motor to Sta. Rosa. These boats made it possible to reach areas inaccessible to regular vehicles or manual boats, bringing much-needed relief goods to stranded families, particularly in Sikatville where waters reached chest level.

Local leaders and volunteers praised the effort, saying the equipment helped them cover more ground and reach people faster.

Suzuki also launched a Flood Support Program for owners of non-insured Suzuki vehicles damaged by the floods. The program offers a 30% discount on key parts often affected by floodwater—Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS Control Module, Body Control Module (BCM), and SRS Control Unit—helping customers repair their vehicles safely and affordably.

The company said these efforts reflect its belief that mobility is more than transportation—it’s a way to care, connect, and uplift people, especially during disasters.

Rainy weather usually means canceled rides—but not with the all-new Honda PCX160. Honda Philippines is reintroducing this popular scooter as your go-to partner for all-season travel, especially when the skies decide to pour.

Whether you’re headed for a misty café trip or braving traffic on a flooded commute, the PCX160 is built to handle it all. Its upgraded suspension smooths out bumps on slippery roads, while its full LED lighting ensures visibility during downpours.

Comfort also takes the front seat. The PCX160 features a contoured, wider seat and spacious legroom to keep you relaxed even in standstill traffic. Need to bring a raincoat or dry bag? The 30-liter luggage box under the seat has room to spare.

But what really gives this scooter an edge is its smart tech and safety. The new RoadSync variant features a full-color TFT panel, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and even a rear suspension with sub-tank for better damping. For added convenience, there’s the Honda Smart Key System and Idling Stop for better fuel economy in heavy rain traffic.

Speaking of fuel, this ride clocks in at an impressive 46.0 km/L (based on WMTC testing), backed by a large fuel tank—perfect for those who want to go farther with fewer stops.

There are two versions to choose from. The Standard Type (PHP 133,400) comes in Vortex Red Metallic, Pearl Fadeless White, and Matte Bullet Silver. Meanwhile, the tech-packed RoadSync Variant (PHP 154,900) is available in Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic and Pearl Fadeless White.

Rain or shine, the PCX160 transforms every ride into a small adventure.

The second round of the F.C.C. Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup (HPDC) held at Tarlac Circuit Hill showcased grit, growth, and determination as young riders aged 10 to 15 battled through rain, pressure, and fierce competition.

Qualifying kicked off the weekend with intensity as #3 Travis Canoy Jr. clocked the fastest lap at 1:19.499, followed closely by #5 Ronald Galzote and #9 Vash Travis Aguilar. The changing weather tested the riders’ adaptability and skill.

In Race 1, Canoy’s pole position was short-lived as he crashed out at Turn 1. This opened the door for #11 Renzzy Gabrielle Vigo to take the win, followed by Galzote in second. Youngest rider #13 Melchyzedek Jacob Ngo surprised the field by securing his first podium finish in third place.
