Launch of the new 2023 Toyota Vios or Yaris Ativ in the Philippines

-
Image
The new-generation Vios is the one automobile that the market is unquestionably yearning for. Although the current style initially appeared in 2018, it was actually an improvement of the generation that made its debut in 2013. 9 years may not seem like a long time for frame-based cars (such as SUVs and pickup trucks), but in the context of passenger cars, that's a lifetime. Now that Toyota has released the first official preview for the next-generation Vios, we could have an answer. Toyota Motor Thailand is the company we're referring to, not Toyota Motor Philippines. Yes, they are allowing us to see the brand-new Vios for the first time.  Because of this, what is known as the Vios in the country is known as the Yaris Ativ there. The preview itself is really short—like a TikTok video of only 15 seconds. It shows a few glimpses of the new generation of cars with their market endorsers. And yeah, for a tiny car, it does look very hot. We can make out a grille that appears to be...

What Is The Filipino Term or Tagalog Word for Storm Surge [NETIZENS REACT]

Netizens can't help but react to this issue: Correct Filipino or Tagalog Word For Storm Surge Reacts are mixed from outrageous and crazy to the just plain wacky and funny. Let us know what you think about this issue. Just hit the comment section below. Arcee Suarez says, "ALAB NG ALON is my suggestion Dante Torio says, "Storm surge = delubyong daluyon Benjamin Vallejo Jr. says, "If there is already a word in the Philippine languages with the appropriate meaning, why create a new one? "Silakbo" has very little to do with oceanographic phenomenon but with the more intangible, like emotions. "Humbak" and "daluyong" specifically deal with oceanographic phenomena and this is within the objective meaning given to it by coastal communities.
