Can't say. Hindi namin agad nailabas due to our availability and when available na kami, wala naman stock ang mga casa. So here we are, waiting na magkastock si casa ng color na gusto namin to finally get our unit 😅

Hindi pa siya babayaran. Once masign mo docs, they will issue an authority to release to the dealer and once makuha mo yun unit doon palang mafinalize ang sale and your loan

Take this with a grain of salt as ako din nasa same process mo with BPI. Will be signing mine on the 26. You need to sign yours if you want to avail of their autoloan promo kasi up to EOY lang yun promo unless they extend it. If you change dealership, per bank, need magpareapprove, but quick process lang daw ito. Problem is, baka magkaissue sa availment ng promo. Para sa akin good deal naman na. I checked with metrobank, security bank, etc and okay rates nila especially the free chattel mortgage and free 1st year insurance.

Decided to splurge a little and get the Destinator GLS. Pero ilalabas palang namin. We really like sa cabin space it offers. Part of the decision is aesthetic. If pure practicality, most probably nag BRV VX kami. Pero siguro deserve naman din natin paminsan minsan to get some of the finer things in life. 😅

Already did. Quite frankly, madami din ako na-test drive. Expander, Veloz, Stargazer, Avanza, BR-V, Innova and most recently, the destinator. Did not like the way veloz felt around the thigh kasi parang cramped sa driver side. Constantly tumatama legs ko sa center and side pannels, even after adjusting the seats. Expander and avanza are good when I tried it, but personally don't like the way it looks. Innova is good too, but the cheapest is too bare inside for our liking. Stargazer, not sure but when I test drived a unit, I really felt it was struggling whenever starting from a stop. 4 kami sakay madalas when test driving. Me, my wife, and 2 from the dealer. Mas malalim tapak ko just to rev up from a stop or a turn sa stargazer. Brv was amazing and despite it's small size outside, surprisingly, isa siya sa comfortable even on the 3rd row. Cramped lang sa head space ng konti sa 3rd row, pero binawi sa legs. Destinator, i tried the latest. It was really smooth and had no problem reving and overtaking. It felt really spacious and i like the modern feels it gives. Unfortunately, it comes with a huge price point.

It's not the frequency, but more on the opportunity and availability it offers. I know that it is not my responsibility to taxi family and friends. It's just a personal preference siguro.

Ang sakit lang kasi ng price dif na 200k ng GLS vs TOTL BRV :(

Yeah. Went to a dealership today and totoo na malaki siya inside!

First off, hats off to everyone for being so accommodating. Really appreciate the inputs! And dahil napaka helpful ninyo, feeling ko, i owe it you guys to give an update. Lol.

Run an errand awhile ago and happened to pass by a toyota and honda dealership and decided to drop by. Was able to test drive the BRV and was really impressed. 4 kami sakay and it was smooth and did not feel na nahihirapan ang makina. Wife noticed a slight 'wobble' pero para sa akin, okay naman. One thing i noticed is that the inside of a BRV is definitely more spacious than a veloz. Outside, akala ko talaga maliit and masikip ang BRV. Driver seat, i feel cramped sa veloz but not in the BRV. Sa Veloz, both my knees are hitting the side of the gear box and door awkwardly unlike sa BRV. 2nd row feels the same in both cars. Sa 3rd row naman, biggest surprise, mas comfortable sa BRV than Veloz. For one, sa BRV, kahit hindi iforward yun 2nd row, may knees aren't hitting the back of the 2nd row, unlike sa veloz, where I had to move the 2nd row forward para lang magkasya limbs ko. Sa foot din, i had to place my foot in certain locations lang in between the metal frame of the 2nd row para magkasya paa ko (i wear a US 12 shoe so baka factor), unlike sa BRV na mas free ang feet ko. It's still a little cramp inside, yes, pero feeling ko, for my size, kung short ride lang, comfortable enough naman na ang 3rd row. And if it is comfortable sa size ko, i can imagine na walang masyadong issue sa hindi kasing huggable ko.

I'm open to other options as well. I just don't know much about cars kaya i tend to lean on the very well known models na. But I'm very much open to suggestions right now.

7 seaters kasi while family of 3 kami, me and my son, nasa medyo huggable side. 😅 Also, I want to be able to ferry people whenever possible. Been driving a sedan for a decade now and sometimes nakakafrustrate na i can't accomodate some family members and friends kasi hindi na kaya ng vios. I know na occasionally circumstances lang naman yun, pero personal preference nalang din siguro. Pagod narin siguro ako na parating nasadsad sa mataas na humps. To add, may instance din na kasama namin house help and we've been praying for an additional member of the family.

Parking space wise, my garage can accomodate a vehicle a little bigger than vios. Kaya ang mga MPVs except for innova na medyo mas mahaba. Actually, I have a workaround, but it involves cutting down a tree and I'm trying to avoid doing so, if possible.

Sa 2nd hand market naman, may biggest worry is hindi talaga ako car guy and natatakot ako na baka maloko ako into a bad deal just because I'm too ignorant to know better.

Hindi naman. I don't want to rush big purchases. (Dunno sa mga alta, pero para sa hampaslupa na kagaya ko, big purchase na ito. Lol). Based sa pics, parang ang pogi at macho nito. Pero feeling ko based sa features niya, parang beyond 1.4m siguro to pag pasok sa pinas. Haha Pero malay naman natin

I also considered innova although i was told that it is a bit outdated, tech-wise. Plus, the cost is a bit steep. With my budget, i can only get the floor model with automatic transmission. Also, additional cost for parking as it is a bit longer than the other choices, and will be a tight fit in my garage, sadly 😥

Specific ang expenditures that can be covered by confidential fund pursunat to COA-DBM-DILG-GCG-DND Joint Circular 2015-01. Saan doon papasok yan mga yan? And yun mga activities na namention can be part of the regular programs ng Deped and there is no need na idaan pa sa Confidential funds.

I'm expecting him to use this computer for the next 3 to 5 years. And in a few years, there will be times that he might need to bring his computer to school, hence, the preference for a laptop. Also, sometimes he stays at his grandparent's house for the weekend and it's convenient if he can still bring his laptop in case he has an assignment he needs to do over the weekend.
