BY Monday, April 15, e-bikes and e-trikes—if plans won’t go awry—will be banned from major highways in the metropolis. Same with traditional tricycles.
TIGER WOODS is among 89 golfers listed to play in the 88th Masters set April 11 to 14 in Augusta, Georgia. He arrived at the fabled course on Sunday to sample the sport’s most iconic layout in preparation for his bid to win a sixth green jacket.
THE first impresses—or impresses not. But I must admit I was impressed hearing Carlo Ablaza deliver his first public speech. He did it during the well-attended launch recently of the Lexus LBX in his capacity as the newly-minted general manager of Lexus Manila Inc. at BGC Taguig.
TO be prepared is to be pleased. That seems to be the battle cry now of Al S. Panlilio, president of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP).

IT is no secret that cases of player-to-player relationships in women’s sport are rampant in many parts of the world, especially in America and Europe. First-world countries seem to treat it as common as coughing.
IT is, indeed, amazing to know that more than 10,000 electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the Philippines in 2023. This was revealed recently by no less than Elvin Raymond Garcia of the Bureau of Investments (BOI). If true, that was a huge hop from the 2022 sales mark, showing that only 1,072 EVs were sold, according to Land Transportation Office records.
SORRY, if you failed to watch the nerve-wracking win on Monday (March 18) by Scottie Scheffler, the power-swinging American golfer with a body-balance issue at the finish.

OUR guest writer is none other than Danny “Sir John” Isla, the founding president of Lexus Manila Inc.

I am still euphoric over the fact that the recent Lexus Invitational Golf was another smashing success; it drew a record field of 220 participants. It came at a time when Lexus sold a whopping 1,843 units last year from an anemic 861 performance in 2022, making Toyota’s big brother officially as the country’s No. 1 vehicle in the luxury segment.
WILL vehicle sales hit the half-a-million mark this year?
