The initial lineup includes fast moving maintenance parts such as oil and air filters as well as wear-and-tear parts such as wiper blades, brake pads and shoes, and clutch covers and discs. These are compatible with the following Toyota models: Vios, Wigo, Innova, Avanza, and Hiace.

“TMP will continue to develop T-OPT parts to meet the growing needs of its customers,” said Masamayor.

The UAAGI Auto Group makes a strong and dynamic showing at the Manila International Auto Show 2026, transforming the western section of the World Trade Center Metro Manila into the immersive “UAAGI West Wing” from April 9 to 12, 2026.

This large, integrated space unites BAIC, Chery, FOTON, Lynk & Co, and RADAR in a single cohesive showcase, reflecting the group’s shared vision. Each brand space highlights its own identity, presenting a diverse lineup that includes plug-in hybrids, fully electric vehicles, and internal combustion engine (ICE) models.

Me at the MIAS 2026

Seeing the UAAGI Auto Group showcase at the Manila International Auto Show 2026 highlights how the automotive industry is evolving. The mix of hybrid, electric, and traditional vehicles shows a shift toward more efficient and sustainable mobility. With the continuous rise of gasoline prices, these innovations feel even more relevant today. It also inspires me to dream of owning this kind of car someday for a more practical and modern lifestyle.

UAAGI’s authority extends across to the eastern side of the venue, where Jetour Auto PH launched the Jetour GAIA featuring the newly launched G700, and continues outside to the Foton Truck Pavilion—featuring an extensive lineup of electric light commercial and heavy-duty vehicles—and the UAAGI Performance Center, where test drives for UAAGI’s comprehensive lineup can be conveniently and safely conducted.

Supporting this effort is the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), UAAGI’s exclusive bank partner, which enables faster and more convenient financing solutions.

A Destination Built for Action

The UAAGI West Wing has a clear intent to turn interest into ownership. Visitors may step into a thoughtfully designed space that balances scale with accessibility. A uniform look unifies the UAAGI Wing, while distinct brand zones are defined by LED walls and identifiable backdrops.

The central booth houses the UAAGI Business Center, which is a hub for negotiation, consultation, merchandise claiming, and discussion with BPI liaisons. The result is an environment that supports UAAGI’s thrust to provide a one-stop-shop that allows for easier exploration and decision-making.

Introducing the Lynk & Co 06 Origin SE Sport Limited Edition

An upgrade of the well-loved 06 Origin SE, introducing bold orange accents, blacked-out details, and a sharper visual identity.

Certain cars just transport you from one place to another. Others make a statement with each arrival. Lynk & Co Philippines makes that claim true with the launch of the Lynk & Co 06 Origin SE Sport, a limited-edition improvement of the popular SUV. This new version, which is specifically made for people who appreciate uniqueness as much as performance, gives the car’s existing unique features a sharper visual identity and incorporates styling influences from around the world into a package that is suited to the local market.

An eye-catching dynamic contrast is created by a striking orange accent that lines the window line and frames the front grille. The vehicle’s overall athletic and elegant appearance is further enhanced with blacked-out side mirror caps and shiny black powder-coated 18-inch alloy wheels.

Beyond its visual enhancements, the 06 Origin SE Sport continues to deliver the confident drive the model is known for. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 181Ps and 290 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that ensures responsive acceleration and smooth gear transitions. Whether navigating daily city traffic or heading out for a weekend drive, the powertrain offers a balance of energy and control suited to modern lifestyles.

Inside, the cabin remains thoughtfully designed for comfort and connectivity. A 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Apple Carplay and Android Auto provides seamless access to entertainment and vehicle settings, while leather-style semi-bucket seats offer supportive seating for both driver and passengers, complementing the clean, contemporary layout of the interior.

Safety and convenience features that define the 06 lineup are retained with features like 360° panoramic camera with 180° transparent chassis view; blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, allowing drivers to enjoy advanced technology and driver-assist systems alongside its refreshed exterior character.

The Lynk & Co. 06 Origin SE Sport offers a chance to acquire a more upscale version of the 06 at a competitive price of Php1,134,000. It’s a version designed for people who value tiny differences, where a purposeful use of color and striking details can elevate an ordinary drive into something more intimate.

The Honda Foundation and TAMANG RIDE PH have renewed their partnership for road safety initiatives in 2026

Honda Foundation, Inc. (HFI) and Tamang Ride PH, a road safety advocacy group run by A Child’s Trust is Ours to Nurture, Inc. (ACTION), have extended their collaboration for a another year. The partnership began in January 2025 as HFI sought to reach more beneficiaries. Through campus programs that educate students on appropriate road safety behaviors, HFI has been able to reach younger audiences thanks to ACTION’s advocacy of explicitly catering to youngsters and novice road users.

HFI and Tamang Ride PH collaborated once more to hold Students on Safety on February 28, 2026, at the Paranaque National High School San Isidro Annex, Paranaque City, as a follow-up to the just finished Kids on Safety activities earlier this month. As part of the inauguration program, representatives from Tamang Ride PH and HFI signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).

As a follow up to the recently concluded Kids on Safety events earlier this month, HFI and Tamang Ride PH joined forces once again to conduct Students on Safety last February 28, 2026 at the Paranaque National High School San Isidro Annex, Paranaque City. HFI and Tamang Ride PH representatives signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) as part of the opening program.

While the Kids on Safety event was geared towards children aged 7-10 years old, Students on Safety was for teenagers aged 16-18 years old to learn about their responsibilities as future drivers and everyday commuters. It also served as their pre-licensing preparation as they will soon be eligible to apply for their own driver’s license. Tamang Ride PH curated these modules specifically for this target audience based on the foundations of Honda Safety Driving Center’s (HSDC) Teen Smart program.  By the end of the event, 100 students were equipped with the proper mindset to follow traffic rules and correct riding practices.  To make the experience feel more realistic, HSDC set up not only a Test Ride but also a Learn to Ride (LTR) activity to allow inexperienced and amateur riders to try out different Honda motorcycles onsite with the guidance of HSDC instructors.

Ms. Rie Miyake, President of HFI, said, “We are grateful to have found a partner like the Tamang Ride PH team. From their president and founder, Mr. Hajime Yokota, and even to the rest of the team, they truly embody the same passion we have for road safety, which you can see translates to our insightful and practical activities with them. We look forward to working with them once again.  We hope we can inspire other Filipinos to be more involved in our advocacy since road safety should be a shared goal for all of us.”

With this extended partnership, Honda aims to strengthen its commitment to its 2050 global safety goal of achieving zero collision fatalities involving any Honda vehicle, and by 2030, the company aims to reduce the number of these fatalities by 50%.

A national road safety initiative called Tamang Ride PH aims to make roads safer for everyone, beginning with young drivers and youngsters. In 2025, HFI became a “Road Safety Ambassador” for Tamang Ride PH, and HSDC took part in the creation of instructional materials. Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), Honda Parts Manufacturing, Corp. (HPMC), and Honda Trading Philippines Ecozone, Corp. (HTPE) are all members of HFI.
