Statement from Toyota PH

With the Rav4, LCs and etc’s current high demand, kahit noon sa Fortuner pa lang, laganap na talaga ang corruption sa Toyota dealerships.

Petition for Nike to retro/protro the Air Zoom Drive (2000s)

Posting this every year until Nike does!

The Nike Air Zoom Drive is a lightweight, low-top retro basketball shoe famously worn on-court by NBA point guard Steve Nash during the early 2000s. Known for his preference for minimal, fast feel sneakers, Nash favored the Zoom Drive for its speed and court feel.

I remember thinking it looked so cool on TV with white socks.

I dont know if people would buy these today but I sure would!

Is the Nike Bike Air collab meant for all sports that uses a bicycle?

I thought it was only for BMX (bicycle motocross) since obviously because of Nigel Sylvester, not all bicycle sport in general.

Titan(Philippines) markets the AJ4 ‘Brick After Brick’ for cycling which I think is not even remotely proper to wear for the sport.

Accenture Company Merchanise

Most of us already know why Accenture doesn't push employee merchandise compared to companies like Google, Microsoft, or startups.

Former employees said it used to have more visible branded polos and lanyards, but employees allegedly became targets for theft/snatching, especially around salary or bonus periods in places like the Philippines.

Another reason is probably client-facing neutrality.

Unlike consumer tech brands, its mainly a consulting and outsourcing company working with thousands of clients. Employees are often embedded inside client offices or systems. Being overly branded can sometimes clash with the “we represent the client first” culture common in consulting.

There’s also a brand-risk angle:

Employees wearing obvious company merch in public can unintentionally associate personal behavior with the company.
Consulting firms tend to be more conservative about public identity than lifestyle or product companies.

AI SLOP

Another AI SLOP

None the less, employees(even non-employees) are still free to purchase unofficial merchandise found in Shopee or Lazada.

You can also create your own design and have it made somewhere. Anyone/everyone can coordinate and produce their own.

How about you? What kind of merchandise would you want?

So Hans “King Panda” Tan has apparently started a new controversy involving criticism of the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) and local car review culture.

While criticizing MIAS itself can be a fair discussion point, the issue seems to have escalated when he allegedly used insulting and derogatory terms toward other car reviewers, specifically targeting Vince of AutoIndustriya.

He also reportedly claimed that other car reviewers are being paid to “upsell” vehicles and give overly positive reviews.

I’m not fully aware of all the details yet, so feel free to share your thoughts, context, or any additional information about the situation.
