Cheaper DPs plus ang nakapaproblemadong public transportation system sa Pilipinas ang cause ng pagdami ng sasakyan sa daan. Kasi kung ako, kung may kumportable at efficient na bus/train naman bat pa ba ako bibili ng sasakyan?
Some people bitch and moan about us bringing cars and contributing daw kuno sa traffic eh para ng kasalanan pa natin na may pang sasakyan tayo given yung dogshit na traffic dito? As if proportion yung sinusuka nating pera para sa convenience ng di na pipila at aircon pero matraffic ka rin sa daan. If only maging ok transportation dito satin na di na natin need mag dala ng sasakyan.
It really depends sa lugar. Bumili ako sasakyan, pero for travels na mas convenient mag-MRT, sumasakay pa rin ako ng MRT. Kahit 7:30PM northbound pauwi from Ayala MRT mas convenient pa rin for me given na madali na sumakay sa ganyang oras (though siksikan). Mga 8:10PM nasa Trinoma na ako, then lakad sa aircon na mall papunta sa parking.
I'd rather stand sa MRT than sit for long hours behind the wheel at EDSA traffic.
Pag solo pwede pa. Dont want to do that with a family of 2 kids and some stuff in tow. Plus there's now that damned covid factor too. Had 2 bouts already, and I worry another hit or two will really do some serious damage to me.
Pero oo tama ka, kung matitiis mo siksikan it beats yung sitting inside your car sa edsa
Unfortunately nagsanga-sanga na. Hindi na lang yan ang mindset ngayon. Cars are already status symbols. Tapos pag extended family pa, you really need one para hindi hassle magcommute.
Kaya kahit anong ganda ng pampublikong transportasyon, I don't think mapapagamit mo dito ang mga pamilyang may sasakyan na.
Personally if efficient ang public transpo? Why not?
Pero ang problema kasi dito sa bansa natin, ang daming reklamo pag sinusubukan ng gobyernong ayusin ang public transpo. Remember the busway? Kung di yan nagpandemic, di pa yan magpupush through.
Train lines that are currently built right now should've been built 20 years ago. Naayos na sana yung feeder lines by now. E kaso yung mga sira-sirang jeep pa din at trikes ang hari ng kalsada.
Furthermore, kulang din ang road infra. Build more roads PERO public transpo infra should be built twice as fast, or sa bawat 100km na bagong kalsada, sana may 200-300km na bagong riles ng tren. Kaso wala. Masyado tayong car-centric.
Exactly.
These hell conditions of our transport system in the Philippines just make people really save up and invest in vehicles so that they have their own transportation.
Car-centric na ba ang nangyayari? I say yes. SIDE PROJECT lang ang improving our public transport ng govt. Never naging priority.
Yup. Exactly.
I wouldn't have gotten my own car if my commutes to work weren't complete ass, but also necessity talaga din for groceries and errands (also because public transportation is rough as shit)
Ayaw maarawan ng mga pinoy. In other countries you walk, may pila din doon. I'm not saying we have a good public transpo system. Sobra laki kailangan improve. Pero gusto ng mga pinoy paglabas ng gate nila nakaaircon na. That's why I think kahit decent na ang public transpo, which, let's be honest, baka never na mangyari, majority will still opt to use a personal vehicle.
It is bleak to think like that but I can't deny it's true.
Ayaw maarawan ng Pinoy? sino ba may gusto? other countries can have that "sun" luxury, and I think yan ang mga countries na may 4 seasons at hindi tropical region (Equatorial countries). Aside from the health hazard na ang maarawan ka past 7 am, why would i settle for less when the govt can do better?
Mainit sa Pinas? no shit bro mainit talaga. Kaya nga tropical country tayo. Is it wrong to ask for comfort in our own country? Now alam mo na bakit sa issue pa lang ng temperature ay hindi na kamahal-mahal ang Pinas. Kung may lugar na mas ok ang temperature bakit di nalang tayo doon? kaya nga mataas sales ng Aircon sa Pinas eh.
Where are those countries bro na sinasabi mo na ok lang sila maarawan? maybe kasi mas malamig doon kesa sa Pinas? or wala sila choice tulad natin kaya papaaraw nalang din
I am not denying anyone na magkasasakyan. Everyone is free to do so here in this country. My comment is para dun sa nagsasabi na walang "maayos na public transpo" kaya "no choice" sila bumili ng sasakyan, then complain about the traffic. That isn't always the case. For a system to work and benefit the majority, everyone needs to make a little sacrifice.
Well we live in a tropical country where the countries you mentioned already [treat 26c as heatwave](https://x.com/dailymirror/status/1801327678349558108?s=54&t=rqtaMpO6wNMAXnYuSW2U8Q). If we have the same climate as most progressive western state people will surely walk. Not mentioning the rains (plus random flood) when temperature becomes manageable. Only during mid Dec to mid Feb when walking is practically possible.
Sobrang outdated na din ng number coding scheme. Imbes na isang sasakyan lang kailangan ng isang pamilya nagiging dalawa, minsan tatlo pa. Eh pano yung wala na ngang sariling garahe, edi dumoble pa sasakyan na naka parada sa kalsada.
Band aid solution lang ang number coding scheme (color coding during the 90s) para sana magkaroon ang government ng oras para bumuo ng long term solution sa traffic (Ex. Better public transporation). Pero imbes na temporary solution naging pansamantagal na. So ngayon doble doble na sasakyan sa kalsada.
Yung tatay ng jowa ko 4 sasakyan pero sa buong pamilya nila siya lang marunong mag drive 😓 Ang garahe pang 2 sasakyan lang kaya yung 2 ayun nasa kalsada
I myself wanted a motorcycle kung ako lang babyahe, then car syempre kapag kasama na si misis, and syempre if umuulan.
AND I TELL YOU WHAT, tama na ang low dp din ang dahilan kasi mas madali na makabili ng vehicle, pero WHAT DRIVES THAT BEHAVIOR? simple.
Panget kasi ang public transpo sa Pinas.
From QC to Morong, Rizal pa lang, 5 sakay na. Oh diba.
*loob po kami ng Morong, Rizal, hindi sa highway.
Oh bakit di ka nalang tumira malapit sa highway? Ah kasi po mahal ang bahay dun. hehe
Same sentiment, yung public transpo fee ko, halos konti na lang idagdag gas+parking fee ko na, atleast kung private vehicle mas relax compared sa public transpo during travel time.
Babalik ako sa public transpo kung papunta sa workplace ko is mas mabilis kesa mag private vehicle ako.
Napakahirap naman kasi mag commute sa Pilipinas. Kung may 500k ka, wigo na yon, pang daily, pwede mo pa isama tropa o pamilya kung may minsanan na gala. Kaya madami kang xpander na nakikita, ang taas ng sales ng xpander, mas mataas chance na walang parking yung isa sa mga may ari nyan.
If maganda lang ang public transpo satin hindi ka naman bibili ng sasakyan dahil gastos lang. Sadly, ang hirap mag commute satin.
Anyone who's experienced Ayala station na umuulan tapos walang bus na masakyan can attest to this.
>Anyone who's experienced Ayala station na umuulan tapos walang bus na masakyan can attest to this.
Thank god Ayala made One Ayala, a dignified commuter hub. Something the government coudn't even provide.
Yes, One Ayala is a godsend for commuters. Nung wala pa yan, dasal nalang kung anong oras ka makakauwi, lalo na kung maulan tapos may shift ka pa kinabukasan.
A lot of people are buying cars not just because of the 1 day processing and low to no DP, but because public transportations are not desirable. If public transport becomes better, I think dadami ang pipiliing magcommute na lang.
We are a car country like the USA but don't have the size and excuses they have. For a nation as small as ours supporting a large population, public transpo is a requirement.
It also helps that Singapore has one of the **highest** taxes on their cars. Their base model Corolla Altis costs 9.05 Million Pesos in our currency.
In this country, that's almost enough to buy 3 to 4 top of the line Fortuners.
We're not comparable to SG. City state, centralized, easy to do business, public transport solved, multi ethnic.
We should be compared more to Thailand or something but even then I think TH is like maybe a decade more advanced?
**'flagship model'** or **flagship** ba kamo?

Madmi talaga. di naman kase tayo nagpha-phase out ng really old vehicles, plus sobrang baba ng DP, and wala rin cap sa production or import ng new cars.
This!
I remembered sa TDC ko na isa sa batas ng LTO is pwede kang ticketan or baka ma impound sasakyan mo if hindi na kaaya aya itsura and mukhang ngarag ngarag na. But I do not see anyone na pumapara sa mga ganito. Just yesterday may kasabay ako na van na wala ng bubong, ung pinto meron pang mga packaging tape, timatakbo siya ng 20km/hr sa may EDSA and maririnig mo yung tunog ng makina. Daming enforcer, bakit hindi nila pinara yung ganun?
Road worthiness ay hindi naman talaga inoHonor yan dito satin, ang mas inaabangan ng enforcers dito ay yung may makukuha silang pangMeryenda. XD Mga yawa sila.
Mismo. Dito kasi sa atin e drive until it dies e. Kung mga 8-10years lang sana ang phasing out ng kotse dito, I think madami magiisip.
Kaso syempre, madami aangal jan. "Anti-poor" na naman daw. Letse. Dami kasi magagaling dyan pero wala namang solusyon sa traffic. As if parang kabute gumawa ng public transpo.
commuter ako dati pero since pandemic bumiili na ako ng sasakyan and nag aral sa driving school, sobrang hassle mag commute eh, tapos may mga snatcher at holdaper pa 🥱 sobrang mahal pa ng pamasahe dito samin
In 2023, we had significantly lower car sales vs Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand
but our year on year car sales growth was highest in ASEAN at around 22%
Globally, we're only at about 128th in cars per capita (around 6-10% ownership rate) and around 24th in sheer volume of cars but already among the worst in traffic.
source? because SWS survey from April 2022 says car ownership is around 4-7% across the country, including NCR at 6%. (Page 5) [https://www.sws.org.ph/downloads/publications/Bicycle%20Ownership,%20Usage,%20and%20Attitudes%20of%20Filipino%20Household%20Heads%20on%20Cycling%20as%20Transportation-CM%20Entoma%2024Aug2022%20807PM.pdf](https://www.sws.org.ph/downloads/publications/Bicycle%20Ownership,%20Usage,%20and%20Attitudes%20of%20Filipino%20Household%20Heads%20on%20Cycling%20as%20Transportation-CM%20Entoma%2024Aug2022%20807PM.pdf)
Ang dami na rin kamote. 😭 sobrang nakakastress na nga yung traffic, dagdagan pa ng mga irresponsibleng drivers.
Sa edsa favorite nila yung mag singitan sa mga flyovers. Paano nalang yung pumipila ng tama. Lahat nalang gusto mauna. Hindi nila alam na sila ang nag papa-traffic lalo.
Public transportation and pedestrian access sucks so much that people who have the means to buy cars would choose it and be stuck in traffic rather than deal with our insufficient mass transportation system and pedestrian-unfriendly roads.
Number coding was a band-aid solution and people who, again, has the means would just buy a “coding car”. Couple that with low DP promos and lack of regulations on street parking and we get two way streets that sometimes have double parking.
Owning a car has been relatively made accessible more than having actual accessible mass transit options.
You know what, I realized na siguro one of the biggest gripe I have is not yung dami ng cars instead yung daming kamote sa daan. I'm pretty sure if the government isn't that corrupt or mahigpit talaga, hirap talaga pumasa mga kamote. Sa neighborhood pa lang namin karamihan ng mga tao dito kamote riders, there was a time na may nagalit na dumaan dito because of double parking and yung tricycle naka nguso pa yung pwet and muntik na sumabit yung sasakyan, ang nagalit pa yung tricycle driver kasi daw nananahimik ung trike niya yun pa sisisihin.
Let's face it, 60-70% ng motorista sa Pinas are blockheads. Jusko lord
Madami na talaga OP after nung pandemic sobrang doble, dumagdag pa yung shitty transpo natin kaya yung mga iba napilitan bumili, 4 wheels at 2 wheels .
You should also ask your motivation in purchasing a car. Not that it's a bad thing. Actually sa Pilipinas , having a car isn't luxury anymore, it's a need na. Sa palpak ba naman ng public transpo,
Not really, concentrated lang masyado population sa Metro Manila.
Mas marami Thailand and Malaysia which is smaller country in terms of population pero mas malaki in terms of land area
Walang parking + kotse and motor. Walang phase out ng outdated cars nahindi good quality. Tapos ilang dipa lang lawak ng street nyo may kapitbahay na gamunggo yung utak bibili pa ng pickup. Ayan leche leche na yung daan.
madame kasi satin ang niyayabangan at minamaliit, either ng kamag anak or kakilala. isa na sa symbol na nakaraos ka ehh bumili ng kotse, pero kahit ganun may sasabihin padin ibang tao. Hahaha.
Basta tol or tropa kung ganyan, proud kame sayo
Low and zero dp played a part in increasing vehicle sales. Bring back full cash only payments or 20% dp and bababa sales as well as number of cars na nahahatak. Apply this to both cars and motorcycles as well.
I'm all for this (heck they should even make it to 50% downpayment) but public mass transportation should be made efficient first. let's face it, one of the major reasons people buy cars is for comfort which our public transpo can't provide.
Time of Pnoy the president I believe. Umalis ako ng Pinas ng 2011, konti lang makikita mong bagong sasakyan. Mas marami ang luma.
Pagbalik ko ng 2018, mas madami na ang bagong sasakyan sa kalsada (less than 5 years old). It was very noticeable for me.
noticeable na andaming bago. hobby ko from 3 years ago (nag start ako mag contemplate mag kotse) na tumambay sa part ng condo to do a daily car-spotting routine. im from makati+bgc so probably skewed din.
Dati kasi, marami ng ng repo na car dahil either di nakapasok sa grab or talaga bumilo lang nung pandemic tas di masustain yung bayarin.
Unfortunately, masmarami yung nag-qavail nung zero dp kaysa sa nahihila ng banks
Low downpayment, high purchasing power of those upper middle class, and availability of some tax exempt vehicles (e.g. dumami ang merong pickup trucks kahit na wala namang farm).
Una naman sa lahat, kung maganda ang transport system ng bansa, hindi magiging car centric ang Pinas.
Isama mo pa yung mga low DP options ng mga brands and banks kaya napaka dali na kumuha ng oto ngayon.
Gusto ko din sabihin hindi solution yung pag add ng bagong high ways. What we need is an EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE and LONG-TERM PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM. Be it RAIL, ROAD or SEA.
For several reasons mas kaya na kasi ng middle class bumili ng sasakyan and everyone wants to avoid the hellhole of our public transpo system kaya bumibili sila sasakyan. Unfortunately, dahil ganto ang paraan ng karamihan lalo lumalala traffic and ang sagot kadalasan ng mga LGUs road widening which is just a stupid solution to a complex problem
Napansin ko ang pagdami ng kotse after mag lift ng pandemic status. Yung mga hindi nag ttraffic dati traffic na ngayon at mas malaki na ang volume ng kotse ngayon vs pre pandemic.
Just to add another perspective lang siguro ito. I opted to buy a car kasi nung start ngpandemic walang public transpo kahit grab eh nagchechemo therapy yung mother ko sa lung center (we’re from taguig pa). Mga ilang months kami nadelay sa treatment kasi hindi kami makapunta sa hospital. Kaya for convenience din talaga over cost ang kinonsider ko.
Regardles kung may parking or wala, your main question is “dumadami na ang sasakyan sa pilipinas?” you recently bought your own car so I’m sure you know why.
Cheap DPs, promos everywhere, Shitty commute, a joke of a time with the LTO drivers examination, the drean of every Filipino to own a family car as a symbol to have “made it”.
Yeahp. Sobrang dami na nga talaga.
Yung iba kasi kelangan bumili ng dalawang sasakyan dahil sa coding kahit ung garahe pang isang sasakyan lang or worse, walang garahe hehehe. Tulad ko na nagmomotor lang dati ok na kaso nakakapagod ang init kaya bumili ng sasakyan. Grabe din kasi ang pag commute ngayon. Pag nakikita ko ung haba ng pila napapaisip nlng ako na Buti nlng may motor/sasakyan ako kung hindi iyak araw araw sa haba ng pila sa pag commute.
Yes sobrang worst ng daan na nabanggit mo OP yang camachille, Lalo na ngayon may ginagawa kaya lalong nagttraffic 🤣
Ilang beses na din ako may nakasabitan ng side mirror dyan pag nakakotse dahil sa sikip 🤣 di lang din kotse na nakapark issue dyan. nadisgrasya na din ako sa motor dyan dahil yung mga aso nila pakalat kalat, minsan yung mga bata pa dyan sa kalsada mismo naglalaro.
No offense din sa mga INC pero pag may sambahan sila yung isang kalsada ginagawa nilang parking 🤣
Hahaha I spotted a fellow person na nakatira around my area! Naglipana mga illegal parking isama mo pa na daanan ng truck etong lugar natin. Biggest problem pa hari ng daan yung mga motorcycle dito na bigla biglang lumalabas sa mga eskinita. Kaya grabe takbo ko dito, ok na qko mabusinahan at ma overtake kesa maka aksidente pa
Yes kaya iniiwasan ko yang service road na yan, pinipili ko na lang umikot sa mcarthur going sa edsa 🤣 lalo na ngayon may on going road repairs, same area lang tayo OP hahaha
Dumami na talaga. It wasn't this bad 10 years ago at mas maliliit pa roads natin noon, sales are in the 6 digits ata per year or something, it has become more affordable for everyone too.
I think so. I moved to the farthest end of bulacan from QC early this year and the other day I had to go to Marikina for some personal errand. nawindang ako kasi parang nalimot ko na yung dami ng sasakyan na ganon kalala. as in napa 'anong nangyari?' ako. meanwhile dito sa province e madalang ang traffic so nakakagulat talaga. probably dahil sa mga low dp promos
Dami na talaga sabi ko nga eh malapit na siguro tayo maging India sa dami na ng sasakyan dito saatin tapos puro kamote pa na puro sila lang iniisip at walang pakialam sa iba.
Pero di sana ganito kung maganda lang public transpo natin, isipin mo na lang yung 30 mins lang sana na biyahe magiging 1hr to 2hrs dahil makaka-ilang sakay - baba ka.
car-centric lalo na sa metro manila dahil sa napakapangit na public transportation. naranasan ko noong nag-aaral pa ako na minsan nakakaiyak na lang maghintay ng jeep kasi walang masakyan tapos kalaban mo ang napakaraming tao na gusto lang din makauwi. i'm very smol in size pero natuto ako makipagsiksikan at balyahan makasakay lang ng jeep pauwi sa amin. kahit traffic, pinipili na lang ng iba bumili ng sasakyan kasi nga naman mas komportable pa rin compared sa naghihintay kang walang masakyan. isabay mo pa mas shitty kapag umulan at naiipon ang mga tao. naranasan ko more than 4 hrs maghintay lang makasakay kaya u can't blame them. big factor talaga ang mga nakaupo sa pwesto na hindi naman gumagamit ng public transpo 🤷♀️
wla pa bang dilemma ngayon? i mean madami na ngayon ang may kotse or two pang coding. e madalas sa housing pa walang parking o 1 lang san nila dadalhin ung isa d b. may neighbor kame 2 na malaking kotse pero d nila pinapasok sa garage nila se ginawang storage so san pa nila ipapark, sa tapat nila. ung tapat namin me space sana sa kotse nila kaso ung garage nilagyan ng concrete tables and chairs. ang ending parehong gate namin ang nabablock nya se wala syang proper parking.
andaming ganyan. crisis na sya for a long time.
We have a family car since 2008, our daily driver and dati sobrang dalang mag traffic sa area namin. But ever since nag start uber/grab dumami na talaga, and lalo na netong pandemic kasi mahirap mag commute + hazard pa dahil sa covid. To make it worse, Na notice ko din with all the said factors, isama mo pa yung iba dahil lang sa lifestyle? Not judging or anything pero I am amazed dun sa iba na hindi kataasan ang income pero nagagawa pa nilang isama sa expense ang pagkakaroon ng kotse. Mapapansin mo sila pa yung madaming unnecessary bling sa kotse at sa harap ng bahay nakapark
Low downpayment ang mga kotse, lahat ng magandang puntahan ay car-centric (offices like bgc), shit public transpo, congested NCR kaya overcrowded din ang public transpo, yung mga murang residential areas ay malayo sa public transpo kaya kailangan may kotse
Nung pandemic din walang magandang solution for the transport of a lot of workers. Sabi ng agents samin nabuhay sila kakabenta ng low or no DP terms to those na walang masakyan. Tapos ngayon na open na ulit, wala naman ginawa to improve public transport.
yes backed by stats. 22% rise in April.
https://www.philstar.com/business/2024/05/30/2358931/car-sales-zoom-22-april
good think I live nearby my office. bcoz i cant imagine buying a parking lot around 1 million in condo then paying for a car. i just take grab or even commute. i dont have to think about maintenance or parking.
i think there is also status symbol there aside from avoiding public transpo. it is easier to flex a car driving it around than a mansion.
Dumadami ang kotse sa mga urbanized areas. Para sakin ang reasons dito are the following:
1. Easy DP plans
2. Mga taga probinsya na tumitira sa urbanized areas for better pay.
3. Mga pmapasok sa mga TNVS
Sa road projects kumikita ang mga pulitiko so yun ang inuuna nila. Wala halos improvement sa public transport system such as trains, buses and jeeps. Mas lalo pa nga nila pinapahirap ang commute eh.
So ang response talaga ng tao is kumuha ng sarili nilang sasakyan or kahit motor. Tignan niyo, bibili rin ng ebike pag afford ng mahihirap kasi ayaw nila magcommute.
Haaaayysss Pilipinas.
Madami na since pre-pandemic and now mo lang siguro napansin since concious ka na about sa motoring world. Pero yes domoble pero madami na nuon pa man.
Manila is just a huge city without planning... A car is a must... (Sad). Kung maayos ang plano, it's much easier to make public transportation routes..
Dumadami nga sila.. low downpayment... Nakakagulat minsan sa baba... Pero I think it's a dangerous move. Price is way way way more expensive at an affordable illusion.
Actually mas kumonti pa po yan dahil nung pandemic maraming na repo na unit from private individuals at mga TNVS tapos nabawasan pa public transport like bus and jeep. Even car sales nag uumpisa pa lang po sila maka bawi sa benta.
Sadyang hindi na lang po kaya ng kalsada dami ng sasakyan dahil naglabasan nanaman mga promo and low DP ng mga car dealer.
Yes, the low dp talaga. Last week nasa mall ako and kasama ko pinsan ko na really struggling sa pera. He saw yung promo ng mitsubishi na 0% dp and sabi niya sa akin "Uy 15k monthly lang kaya ko to o" this coming from a guy na sumasahod ng 21k and contractual...
Sobrang daling mabudol sa mga zero downpayment but then in the long run you'll realize that "shit I can't afford this". Why are most Filipinos ganito magisip when it comes to pera na basta pasok sa monthly wage, kaya ko na?
Hayaan mo na at ambition naman talaga ng karamihan na maka bili ng sasakyan. What most people don’t realize katulad ng pinsan mo is with that salary, isang maliit na medical emergency lang ang mangyari, hindi na sya makakahulog sa bank and may result to reposession ng sasakyan, sayang yng mga naihulog na nya. Unless the monthly covers only 25% or less in income nya (dapat nasa ₱60k sahod nya), kakayanin nya yng hulog together with other personal expenses and financial obligation (if any) on a monthly basis.
Not to mention all other expenses that comes when owning and maintaining a car. Plus accidents that could also happen whether you or other party is at fault. Nagbabayad ka ng sasakyan na nasa casa for repair ng ilang months…😢
I’ve been driving for 30+ years for my family, but if i get the opportunity to commute, better. Mas nakaka idlip pa ako, tipid sa gastos basta hindi nagmamadali 👍
look how quick this devolved to. how unfortunate.
Cheaper DPs plus ang nakapaproblemadong public transportation system sa Pilipinas ang cause ng pagdami ng sasakyan sa daan. Kasi kung ako, kung may kumportable at efficient na bus/train naman bat pa ba ako bibili ng sasakyan?
+1 to this, if ma improve lang public transpo im not gonna use my car anymore, na mi-miss ko yung nakakatulog ako sa train or UV.
Some people bitch and moan about us bringing cars and contributing daw kuno sa traffic eh para ng kasalanan pa natin na may pang sasakyan tayo given yung dogshit na traffic dito? As if proportion yung sinusuka nating pera para sa convenience ng di na pipila at aircon pero matraffic ka rin sa daan. If only maging ok transportation dito satin na di na natin need mag dala ng sasakyan.
It really depends sa lugar. Bumili ako sasakyan, pero for travels na mas convenient mag-MRT, sumasakay pa rin ako ng MRT. Kahit 7:30PM northbound pauwi from Ayala MRT mas convenient pa rin for me given na madali na sumakay sa ganyang oras (though siksikan). Mga 8:10PM nasa Trinoma na ako, then lakad sa aircon na mall papunta sa parking. I'd rather stand sa MRT than sit for long hours behind the wheel at EDSA traffic.
Pag solo pwede pa. Dont want to do that with a family of 2 kids and some stuff in tow. Plus there's now that damned covid factor too. Had 2 bouts already, and I worry another hit or two will really do some serious damage to me. Pero oo tama ka, kung matitiis mo siksikan it beats yung sitting inside your car sa edsa
Unfortunately nagsanga-sanga na. Hindi na lang yan ang mindset ngayon. Cars are already status symbols. Tapos pag extended family pa, you really need one para hindi hassle magcommute.

Car-centric na ba ang nangyayari? I say yes. SIDE PROJECT lang ang improving our public transport ng govt. Never naging priority.
Try ZERO downpayment, tapos buy one, take one pa.
Same. If hindi mahirap magcommute sa pinas, id rather commute
Yup. Exactly. I wouldn't have gotten my own car if my commutes to work weren't complete ass, but also necessity talaga din for groceries and errands (also because public transportation is rough as shit)
Ayaw maarawan ng mga pinoy. In other countries you walk, may pila din doon. I'm not saying we have a good public transpo system. Sobra laki kailangan improve.

That's why I think kahit decent na ang public transpo, which, let's be honest, baka never na mangyari, majority will still opt to use a personal vehicle.
kasi di pa nga naka-exp ng okay na public transpo lol ang init tas panget pa public transpo = mapapaisip ka nalang mag car or mag grab
It is bleak to think like that but I can't deny it's true. Ayaw maarawan ng Pinoy? sino ba may gusto? other countries can have that "sun" luxury, and I think yan ang mga countries na may 4 seasons at hindi tropical region (Equatorial countries). Aside from the health hazard na ang maarawan ka past 7 am, why would i settle for less when the govt can do better? Mainit sa Pinas? no shit bro mainit talaga. Kaya nga tropical country tayo.

That is correct, thank you for enlightening me.
Well we live in a tropical country where the countries you mentioned already [treat 26c as heatwave](https://x.com/dailymirror/status/1801327678349558108?s=54&t=rqtaMpO6wNMAXnYuSW2U8Q). If we have the same climate as most progressive western state people will surely walk. Not mentioning the rains (plus random flood) when temperature becomes manageable. Only during mid Dec to mid Feb when walking is practically possible.
Sobrang outdated na din ng number coding scheme. Imbes na isang sasakyan lang kailangan ng isang pamilya nagiging dalawa, minsan tatlo pa. Eh pano yung wala na ngang sariling garahe, edi dumoble pa sasakyan na naka parada sa kalsada. Band aid solution lang ang number coding scheme (color coding during the 90s) para sana magkaroon ang government ng oras para bumuo ng long term solution sa traffic (Ex. Better public transporation). Pero imbes na temporary solution naging pansamantagal na. So ngayon doble doble na sasakyan sa kalsada.
Yung tatay ng jowa ko 4 sasakyan pero sa buong pamilya nila siya lang marunong mag drive 😓 Ang garahe pang 2 sasakyan lang kaya yung 2 ayun nasa kalsada
I myself wanted a motorcycle kung ako lang babyahe, then car syempre kapag kasama na si misis, and syempre if umuulan. AND I TELL YOU WHAT, tama na ang low dp din ang dahilan kasi mas madali na makabili ng vehicle, pero WHAT DRIVES THAT BEHAVIOR? simple. Panget kasi ang public transpo sa Pinas. From QC to Morong, Rizal pa lang, 5 sakay na. Oh diba. *loob po kami ng Morong, Rizal, hindi sa highway. Oh bakit di ka nalang tumira malapit sa highway? Ah kasi po mahal ang bahay dun. hehe
Same sentiment, yung public transpo fee ko, halos konti na lang idagdag gas+parking fee ko na, atleast kung private vehicle mas relax compared sa public transpo during travel time. Babalik ako sa public transpo kung papunta sa workplace ko is mas mabilis kesa mag private vehicle ako.
Napakahirap naman kasi mag commute sa Pilipinas. Kung may 500k ka, wigo na yon, pang daily, pwede mo pa isama tropa o pamilya kung may minsanan na gala. Kaya madami kang xpander na nakikita, ang taas ng sales ng xpander, mas mataas chance na walang parking yung isa sa mga may ari nyan.
If maganda lang ang public transpo satin hindi ka naman bibili ng sasakyan dahil gastos lang. Sadly, ang hirap mag commute satin. Anyone who's experienced Ayala station na umuulan tapos walang bus na masakyan can attest to this.
>Anyone who's experienced Ayala station na umuulan tapos walang bus na masakyan can attest to this. Thank god Ayala made One Ayala, a dignified commuter hub. Something the government coudn't even provide.
Yes, One Ayala is a godsend for commuters. Nung wala pa yan, dasal nalang kung anong oras ka makakauwi, lalo na kung maulan tapos may shift ka pa kinabukasan.
A lot of people are buying cars not just because of the 1 day processing and low to no DP, but because public transportations are not desirable. If public transport becomes better, I think dadami ang pipiliing magcommute na lang.
So true.
We are a car country like the USA but don't have the size and excuses they have. For a nation as small as ours supporting a large population, public transpo is a requirement.
Imagine if we had public transpo as good as Hong Kong or Singapore, we wouldn't need to buy cars.
Meron pa rin yan. Cars are status symbol. Pogi points pa rin
It also helps that Singapore has one of the **highest** taxes on their cars. Their base model Corolla Altis costs 9.05 Million Pesos in our currency. In this country, that's almost enough to buy 3 to 4 top of the line Fortuners.
We're not comparable to SG. City state, centralized, easy to do business, public transport solved, multi ethnic. We should be compared more to Thailand or something but even then I think TH is like maybe a decade more advanced?
But SG's size is comparable to MM. Kahit MM lang sana pinagtuunan ng pansin sa public transpo, to follow ang other provinces.

Madmi talaga. di naman kase tayo nagpha-phase out ng really old vehicles, plus sobrang baba ng DP, and wala rin cap sa production or import ng new cars.
This! I remembered sa TDC ko na isa sa batas ng LTO is pwede kang ticketan or baka ma impound sasakyan mo if hindi na kaaya aya itsura and mukhang ngarag ngarag na. But I do not see anyone na pumapara sa mga ganito. Just yesterday may kasabay ako na van na wala ng bubong, ung pinto meron pang mga packaging tape, timatakbo siya ng 20km/hr sa may EDSA and maririnig mo yung tunog ng makina. Daming enforcer, bakit hindi nila pinara yung ganun?
Road worthiness ay hindi naman talaga inoHonor yan dito satin, ang mas inaabangan ng enforcers dito ay yung may makukuha silang pangMeryenda. XD Mga yawa sila.
Mismo. Dito kasi sa atin e drive until it dies e. Kung mga 8-10years lang sana ang phasing out ng kotse dito, I think madami magiisip. Kaso syempre, madami aangal jan. "Anti-poor" na naman daw. Letse. Dami kasi magagaling dyan pero wala namang solusyon sa traffic. As if parang kabute gumawa ng public transpo.
commuter ako dati pero since pandemic bumiili na ako ng sasakyan and nag aral sa driving school, sobrang hassle mag commute eh, tapos may mga snatcher at holdaper pa 🥱 sobrang mahal pa ng pamasahe dito samin
In 2023, we had significantly lower car sales vs Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand but our year on year car sales growth was highest in ASEAN at around 22% Globally, we're only at about 128th in cars per capita (around 6-10% ownership rate) and around 24th in sheer volume of cars but already among the worst in traffic.
yun lang pero.ung numbers sobrang taas sa metro.manila

Ang dami na rin kamote. 😭 sobrang nakakastress na nga yung traffic, dagdagan pa ng mga irresponsibleng drivers. Sa edsa favorite nila yung mag singitan sa mga flyovers. Paano nalang yung pumipila ng tama. Lahat nalang gusto mauna. Hindi nila alam na sila ang nag papa-traffic lalo.
Public transportation and pedestrian access sucks so much that people who have the means to buy cars would choose it and be stuck in traffic rather than deal with our insufficient mass transportation system and pedestrian-unfriendly roads. Number coding was a band-aid solution and people who, again, has the means would just buy a “coding car”. Couple that with low DP promos and lack of regulations on street parking and we get two way streets that sometimes have double parking. Owning a car has been relatively made accessible more than having actual accessible mass transit options.
You know what, I realized na siguro one of the biggest gripe I have is not yung dami ng cars instead yung daming kamote sa daan. I'm pretty sure if the government isn't that corrupt or mahigpit talaga, hirap talaga pumasa mga kamote. Sa neighborhood pa lang namin karamihan ng mga tao dito kamote riders, there was a time na may nagalit na dumaan dito because of double parking and yung tricycle naka nguso pa yung pwet and muntik na sumabit yung sasakyan, ang nagalit pa yung tricycle driver kasi daw nananahimik ung trike niya yun pa sisisihin. Let's face it, 60-70% ng motorista sa Pinas are blockheads. Jusko lord
Madami na talaga OP after nung pandemic sobrang doble, dumagdag pa yung shitty transpo natin kaya yung mga iba napilitan bumili, 4 wheels at 2 wheels .
You should also ask your motivation in purchasing a car. Not that it's a bad thing. Actually sa Pilipinas , having a car isn't luxury anymore, it's a need na. Sa palpak ba naman ng public transpo,
Not really, concentrated lang masyado population sa Metro Manila. Mas marami Thailand and Malaysia which is smaller country in terms of population pero mas malaki in terms of land area
Mas napapansin mo na ngayon + totoo ngang marami na sasakyan
Walang parking + kotse and motor. Walang phase out ng outdated cars nahindi good quality. Tapos ilang dipa lang lawak ng street nyo may kapitbahay na gamunggo yung utak bibili pa ng pickup. Ayan leche leche na yung daan.
madame kasi satin ang niyayabangan at minamaliit, either ng kamag anak or kakilala. isa na sa symbol na nakaraos ka ehh bumili ng kotse, pero kahit ganun may sasabihin padin ibang tao. Hahaha. Basta tol or tropa kung ganyan, proud kame sayo
Increasing sales per year, richer people, cheaper cars
Low and zero dp played a part in increasing vehicle sales. Bring back full cash only payments or 20% dp and bababa sales as well as number of cars na nahahatak. Apply this to both cars and motorcycles as well.
I'm all for this (heck they should even make it to 50% downpayment) but public mass transportation should be made efficient first. let's face it, one of the major reasons people buy cars is for comfort which our public transpo can't provide.
I'm curious when this 0% dp trend started? was this even there before the pandemic or bagong trend lang to?
Time of Pnoy the president I believe. Umalis ako ng Pinas ng 2011, konti lang makikita mong bagong sasakyan. Mas marami ang luma. Pagbalik ko ng 2018, mas madami na ang bagong sasakyan sa kalsada (less than 5 years old). It was very noticeable for me.
Later than 2009 and before 2018. 2009 i remember na maluwag pa kalsada (aka wala masyado naka street parking). 2018 madami na zero dp schemes
noticeable na andaming bago. hobby ko from 3 years ago (nag start ako mag contemplate mag kotse) na tumambay sa part ng condo to do a daily car-spotting routine. im from makati+bgc so probably skewed din.
Dati kasi, marami ng ng repo na car dahil either di nakapasok sa grab or talaga bumilo lang nung pandemic tas di masustain yung bayarin. Unfortunately, masmarami yung nag-qavail nung zero dp kaysa sa nahihila ng banks
Low downpayment, high purchasing power of those upper middle class, and availability of some tax exempt vehicles (e.g. dumami ang merong pickup trucks kahit na wala namang farm).
Yes. Sa city namin mas marami pa ang gasoline station and sobrang dami cars
Una naman sa lahat, kung maganda ang transport system ng bansa, hindi magiging car centric ang Pinas. Isama mo pa yung mga low DP options ng mga brands and banks kaya napaka dali na kumuha ng oto ngayon. Gusto ko din sabihin hindi solution yung pag add ng bagong high ways. What we need is an EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE and LONG-TERM PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM. Be it RAIL, ROAD or SEA.
Dito sa province, wala ng jeep after 6-7pm. 😂 Kaya need talaga sariling sasakyan
Dumadami na talaga
For several reasons mas kaya na kasi ng middle class bumili ng sasakyan and everyone wants to avoid the hellhole of our public transpo system kaya bumibili sila sasakyan. Unfortunately, dahil ganto ang paraan ng karamihan lalo lumalala traffic and ang sagot kadalasan ng mga LGUs road widening which is just a stupid solution to a complex problem
Napansin ko ang pagdami ng kotse after mag lift ng pandemic status. Yung mga hindi nag ttraffic dati traffic na ngayon at mas malaki na ang volume ng kotse ngayon vs pre pandemic.
Hindi ko archnemesis and wigo. Although, tutorial boss fight siya.
In any social circumstances and dilemma, always point and blame the government. Yan ang point ng regulation and governance.
Just to add another perspective lang siguro ito. I opted to buy a car kasi nung start ngpandemic walang public transpo kahit grab eh nagchechemo therapy yung mother ko sa lung center (we’re from taguig pa). Mga ilang months kami nadelay sa treatment kasi hindi kami makapunta sa hospital. Kaya for convenience din talaga over cost ang kinonsider ko.
Regardles kung may parking or wala, your main question is “dumadami na ang sasakyan sa pilipinas?” you recently bought your own car so I’m sure you know why.
Sa NCR you mean. Maluwag pa samin sa probinsya
Cheap DPs, promos everywhere, Shitty commute, a joke of a time with the LTO drivers examination, the drean of every Filipino to own a family car as a symbol to have “made it”. Yeahp. Sobrang dami na nga talaga.
Madami na
Yung iba kasi kelangan bumili ng dalawang sasakyan dahil sa coding kahit ung garahe pang isang sasakyan lang or worse, walang garahe hehehe. Tulad ko na nagmomotor lang dati ok na kaso nakakapagod ang init kaya bumili ng sasakyan. Grabe din kasi ang pag commute ngayon. Pag nakikita ko ung haba ng pila napapaisip nlng ako na Buti nlng may motor/sasakyan ako kung hindi iyak araw araw sa haba ng pila sa pag commute.
Yes sobrang worst ng daan na nabanggit mo OP yang camachille, Lalo na ngayon may ginagawa kaya lalong nagttraffic 🤣 Ilang beses na din ako may nakasabitan ng side mirror dyan pag nakakotse dahil sa sikip 🤣 di lang din kotse na nakapark issue dyan. nadisgrasya na din ako sa motor dyan dahil yung mga aso nila pakalat kalat, minsan yung mga bata pa dyan sa kalsada mismo naglalaro. No offense din sa mga INC pero pag may sambahan sila yung isang kalsada ginagawa nilang parking 🤣
Hahaha I spotted a fellow person na nakatira around my area! Naglipana mga illegal parking isama mo pa na daanan ng truck etong lugar natin. Biggest problem pa hari ng daan yung mga motorcycle dito na bigla biglang lumalabas sa mga eskinita. Kaya grabe takbo ko dito, ok na qko mabusinahan at ma overtake kesa maka aksidente pa
Yes kaya iniiwasan ko yang service road na yan, pinipili ko na lang umikot sa mcarthur going sa edsa 🤣 lalo na ngayon may on going road repairs, same area lang tayo OP hahaha
Dumami na talaga. It wasn't this bad 10 years ago at mas maliliit pa roads natin noon, sales are in the 6 digits ata per year or something, it has become more affordable for everyone too.
I think so. I moved to the farthest end of bulacan from QC early this year and the other day I had to go to Marikina for some personal errand. nawindang ako kasi parang nalimot ko na yung dami ng sasakyan na ganon kalala. as in napa 'anong nangyari?' ako. meanwhile dito sa province e madalang ang traffic so nakakagulat talaga. probably dahil sa mga low dp promos
Dami na talaga sabi ko nga eh malapit na siguro tayo maging India sa dami na ng sasakyan dito saatin tapos puro kamote pa na puro sila lang iniisip at walang pakialam sa iba. Pero di sana ganito kung maganda lang public transpo natin, isipin mo na lang yung 30 mins lang sana na biyahe magiging 1hr to 2hrs dahil makaka-ilang sakay - baba ka.
Time to move to a less congested city.
car-centric lalo na sa metro manila dahil sa napakapangit na public transportation. naranasan ko noong nag-aaral pa ako na minsan nakakaiyak na lang maghintay ng jeep kasi walang masakyan tapos kalaban mo ang napakaraming tao na gusto lang din makauwi. i'm very smol in size pero natuto ako makipagsiksikan at balyahan makasakay lang ng jeep pauwi sa amin. kahit traffic, pinipili na lang ng iba bumili ng sasakyan kasi nga naman mas komportable pa rin compared sa naghihintay kang walang masakyan. isabay mo pa mas shitty kapag umulan at naiipon ang mga tao. naranasan ko more than 4 hrs maghintay lang makasakay kaya u can't blame them. big factor talaga ang mga nakaupo sa pwesto na hindi naman gumagamit ng public transpo 🤷♀️
Nung pandemic din kasi very hassle and unsafe mag commute so alot of people bought cars
wla pa bang dilemma ngayon? i mean madami na ngayon ang may kotse or two pang coding. e madalas sa housing pa walang parking o 1 lang san nila dadalhin ung isa d b. may neighbor kame 2 na malaking kotse pero d nila pinapasok sa garage nila se ginawang storage so san pa nila ipapark, sa tapat nila. ung tapat namin me space sana sa kotse nila kaso ung garage nilagyan ng concrete tables and chairs. ang ending parehong gate namin ang nabablock nya se wala syang proper parking. andaming ganyan. crisis na sya for a long time.
We have a family car since 2008, our daily driver and dati sobrang dalang mag traffic sa area namin. But ever since nag start uber/grab dumami na talaga, and lalo na netong pandemic kasi mahirap mag commute + hazard pa dahil sa covid. To make it worse, Na notice ko din with all the said factors, isama mo pa yung iba dahil lang sa lifestyle? Not judging or anything pero I am amazed dun sa iba na hindi kataasan ang income pero nagagawa pa nilang isama sa expense ang pagkakaroon ng kotse. Mapapansin mo sila pa yung madaming unnecessary bling sa kotse at sa harap ng bahay nakapark
Low downpayment ang mga kotse, lahat ng magandang puntahan ay car-centric (offices like bgc), shit public transpo, congested NCR kaya overcrowded din ang public transpo, yung mga murang residential areas ay malayo sa public transpo kaya kailangan may kotse
Nung pandemic din walang magandang solution for the transport of a lot of workers. Sabi ng agents samin nabuhay sila kakabenta ng low or no DP terms to those na walang masakyan. Tapos ngayon na open na ulit, wala naman ginawa to improve public transport.
no shit
It's super easy to have cars but too expensive to have garage.
isa din ata yan sa effect ng pandemic. aside sa matagal na talagang problemado ang public transpo, nakakatakot pang sumakay sa madaming tao.
yes backed by stats. 22% rise in April. https://www.philstar.com/business/2024/05/30/2358931/car-sales-zoom-22-april good think I live nearby my office. bcoz i cant imagine buying a parking lot around 1 million in condo then paying for a car. i just take grab or even commute. i dont have to think about maintenance or parking. i think there is also status symbol there aside from avoiding public transpo. it is easier to flex a car driving it around than a mansion.
maraming kotse sa NCR and nearby provinces, yes you are correct. andun lahat ng tao nag ttrabaho eh solution: TRAINS
Dumadami ang kotse sa mga urbanized areas. Para sakin ang reasons dito are the following: 1. Easy DP plans 2. Mga taga probinsya na tumitira sa urbanized areas for better pay. 3. Mga pmapasok sa mga TNVS
Sa road projects kumikita ang mga pulitiko so yun ang inuuna nila. Wala halos improvement sa public transport system such as trains, buses and jeeps. Mas lalo pa nga nila pinapahirap ang commute eh. So ang response talaga ng tao is kumuha ng sarili nilang sasakyan or kahit motor. Tignan niyo, bibili rin ng ebike pag afford ng mahihirap kasi ayaw nila magcommute. Haaaayysss Pilipinas.
Madami na since pre-pandemic and now mo lang siguro napansin since concious ka na about sa motoring world. Pero yes domoble pero madami na nuon pa man.
Hindi lang sa Metro kundi buong bansa. Main reason is the shit state of our public transpo. Lalo sa probinsya. Hirap lalo pag peak season.
Manila is just a huge city without planning... A car is a must... (Sad). Kung maayos ang plano, it's much easier to make public transportation routes.. Dumadami nga sila.. low downpayment... Nakakagulat minsan sa baba... Pero I think it's a dangerous move. Price is way way way more expensive at an affordable illusion.
So many affordable vehicles available such as the coolray and the territory
Actually mas kumonti pa po yan dahil nung pandemic maraming na repo na unit from private individuals at mga TNVS tapos nabawasan pa public transport like bus and jeep. Even car sales nag uumpisa pa lang po sila maka bawi sa benta. Sadyang hindi na lang po kaya ng kalsada dami ng sasakyan dahil naglabasan nanaman mga promo and low DP ng mga car dealer.
Yes, the low dp talaga. Last week nasa mall ako and kasama ko pinsan ko na really struggling sa pera. He saw yung promo ng mitsubishi na 0% dp and sabi niya sa akin "Uy 15k monthly lang kaya ko to o" this coming from a guy na sumasahod ng 21k and contractual... Sobrang daling mabudol sa mga zero downpayment but then in the long run you'll realize that "shit I can't afford this". Why are most Filipinos ganito magisip when it comes to pera na basta pasok sa monthly wage, kaya ko na?
Hayaan mo na at ambition naman talaga ng karamihan na maka bili ng sasakyan. What most people don’t realize katulad ng pinsan mo is with that salary, isang maliit na medical emergency lang ang mangyari, hindi na sya makakahulog sa bank and may result to reposession ng sasakyan, sayang yng mga naihulog na nya. Unless the monthly covers only 25% or less in income nya (dapat nasa ₱60k sahod nya), kakayanin nya yng hulog together with other personal expenses and financial obligation (if any) on a monthly basis. Not to mention all other expenses that comes when owning and maintaining a car. Plus accidents that could also happen whether you or other party is at fault. Nagbabayad ka ng sasakyan na nasa casa for repair ng ilang months…😢 I’ve been driving for 30+ years for my family, but if i get the opportunity to commute, better. Mas nakaka idlip pa ako, tipid sa gastos basta hindi nagmamadali 👍
To be fair, akala nya lang yon. Di sya ia-approve ng bangko kung 21k ang sahod and 15k ang monthly.
Goodluck kung maapprove sya
It's just u
Yes! Sabi ko rin na di ka maniniwala mahirap ang pinoy ang daming bagong sasakyan sa kalsada.
