DavOr guv takes helm as RDC-Davao chair
President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. has designated Governor Niño Sotero L. Uy, Jr. of Davao Oriental as the new chairperson of the Regional Development Council-Davao Region (RDC-Davao). This appointment follows the succession of Jayvee Tyron L. Uy, the former governor and current Vice-Governor of Davao de Oro. In his End-of-Term State of the Region Address on June 21, 2022, Jayvee acknowledged the challenges faced during his term, particularly the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Davao Regional Development Plan (DRDP) for 2017-2022 aimed to enhance the moral and social fabric, reduce inequality, and boost growth potential. Succeeding the late Governor Corazon Nuñez-Malanyaon, incoming chairperson Gov. Niño Sotero Uy wasted no time in spearheading the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with RDC-Davao for livelihood projects in Davao Oriental on January 4.

Expressing gratitude for the approval, Niño emphasized the positive impact of the projects on the province's development and expressed optimism for the future.

Hyundai announces ‘Revive and Drive’ promo
Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. has launched a new initiative, the "Revive & Drive Promo," aimed at ensuring that Hyundai owners continue to enjoy the reliability and efficiency of their vehicles, even past the warranty period. The promotional campaign, which runs from 15 October to 15 December, is available at all authorized Hyundai dealerships across the nation. The "Revive & Drive Promo" is tailored to cater to the needs of customers who own Hyundai vehicles purchased in the year 2018 or earlier, covering range of models including the i10, Santa Fe, Eon, Grand Starex, Accent, Sonata, Elantra, Veloster, Tucson, and H100. The primary focus of this program is to offer qualified owners an opportunity to bring their vehicles in for an oil change, which then entitles them to a complimentary care package. This package includes free labor, an oil filter, and a drain plug washer. Moreover, the vehicles will undergo a comprehensive 23-point check-up and a GDS scan, along with a courtesy exterior wash and interior wipe-down, all at no extra cost. These services are to be rendered by Hyundai-trained and certified technicians, ensuring that only Hyundai Genuine Parts are used in the process. This approach aligns with the brand’s endeavor to maintain the manufacturer standards and quality, aimed at delivering a safer and smoother performance for all Hyundai vehicles involved in the program. Cecil Capacete, the managing director of HMPH, expressed the brand’s dedication towards supporting the needs of their loyal customer base, not just the new ones. He stated: “We wish to show all our customers, not just the new ones, that Hyundai is here for them throughout the entire lifecycle of their vehicles. This particular program is meant to support the needs of our loyal out-of-warranty customers.” He further acknowledged a common oversight where maintenance of vehicles aged five years and beyond is often neglected. Through this initiative, Hyundai aims to break this cycle and instill a sense of proactiveness among its customers towards regular maintenance, which in turn contributes to safer roads and ensures the well-being of the occupants. Besides the aforementioned benefits, this limited time offer can also be availed in conjunction with other ongoing local dealer promotions, making it a more attractive proposition for Hyundai owners. Booking an appointment in advance is highly recommended and can be done through the Booking Service on the Hyundai Service Network. Alternatively, customers can also reach out directly to their preferred dealership. The post Hyundai announces ‘Revive and Drive’ promo appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
